George Mason has been there.

Yeah, ODU should aspire to be there too.

You are going to be disappointed for a long time then. I'm not sure how much you realize how ridiculously difficult it is to get to a Final 4 for a mid major. George Mason and VCU rank as #1 and #2 the most unpredictable Final 4 appearances. South Carolina is in at #3.

One thing for sure is we are not going anywhere with 6'7" mediocre centers! When we lose to W&M and are not even competitive with VCU, there needs to be a change!

VCU and GMU didi. Not saying we are, but saying it can be done

And it stings that much more when two of our three arch-rivals have been to the F4 and we can't even get to the sweet 16.

Even worse ... we are ridiculed if we so much as aspire to reach that goal as our peers have done. You know, it's sort of like how former president Kennedy in the early 60's aspired for the United States to go to the moon before the end of the decade. Not because it was easy, but because it was hard.

Guess I am more of the Bobby Wilder mind set ... AIM HIGH!!!
