Letter from the Editor: Blogs
|Over the past month Connect2Mason has launched five blogs. While our main goal is still on producing great content for our homepage, the blogs allow some of our writers to discuss topics that don’t always have space to fit on the homepage and to provide information on a wide range of topics to you, the reader. Check out C2M’s newest blogs and let us know what you think:

|Sometimes the most recognizable person at a basketball game is not a player or a coach but rather a fan in the crowd. This person isn’t just any fan; he or she is at every game. They cheer on the team whether they’re winning or losing, and they always sit in the same seat.
The New York Knicks have Spike Lee. The Los Angeles Lakers have Jack Nicholson.
And the George Mason University Patriots have Trevor Scambos.
