Despite our great dislike for the colors green and gold, James and I joined the family and GMU alumni to watch the George Mason Patriots take on the Old Dominion Monarchs at Ted Constant Center.
Though we were cheering for GMU, James and I just couldn't bring ourselves to wear the colors, so we wore the orange and maroon proudly, with gold and green beads and cute headbands, of course. Brent got us sweet VIP tickets with the GMU alumni association,
so we had the privilege of watching our first game from a box seat. Holla for the VIP entrance! Sarah and I were like, umm... VIP... SUPER exciting! The seven of us (Sarah, Regis, Toby, Abigail, Brent, James, and I) enjoyed free food, drinks, GMU alumni stuff, and of course pompoms.
I had a difficult time getting into the game in the beginning, as ODU came out strong, and basically left us in the dirt. It was sad, but it was great catching up with Sarah and Abigail. But, the Patriots received a good half time talk, and made the game exciting in the second half!
Sadly, though, they couldn't make up the difference, and ODU took the win. Still looking for excitement, we perused the campus, eventually ending up at their statue of the monarch. With no signs saying do not climb, we got some awesome pictures with the Monarch. I mean...this is what traveling to away games is all about! It's not about the win...it's about the experience.
