Cigarfest 2011

Once again it was that time of year for our annual trip to the Poconos

I went down with my buddy Jim and his Brother Nick.

A Good Time was had by all, with plenty of time for goofing off.

And now its time for a Short Good Knight

2011 CAA Tournament

Once again I made the trip to Richmond, with my friend Jim, in hopes of a JMU miracle. They finished the season in 6th, proving once again, that they can beat or be defeated by any team on any given day. This year they lost to the 11th placed, William and Mary, in the first round.

Then came time for my backup plan, Jim’s team. Go GMU. Mason finished 1st with an outstanding season, but lost in the 3rd round of the tournament to VCU.

To add to the disappointment, was that even though GMU was out played, VCU should have been eliminated the round before because the refs controlled the entire game for the home town team and that they should have been eliminated by Drexel.

The upside was we hit some great pubs and restaurants and ran into an old college buddy (Dave) who went to VCU !

As a final note the CAA needs to move the tournament out of Richmond (the last 21 yrs). Although its a good place to have it, the majority of the fans are from Richmond and the refs seems to remind us of that each year.

Final Note: VCU lost to ODU in the Final so GMU and ODU will make the big Dance. VCU might make it but not likely.
