After dropping their NCAA first round match-up with the Fightin’ Irish of the University of Notre Dame at the Pepsi Center in Denver, CO, the campus of George Mason University disappeared late Thursday night.
Many believe that the Notre Dame mascot had something to do with it.
During his pre-game pep talk to his squad, Mason head coach Jim Larranaga asked his club to make the Leprechaun—the Fightin' Irish mascot—disappear.
However it was Mason’s offense, defense, and then campus that disappeared on Thursday night, after a 68-50 thumping by Mike Brey’s Irish.
"It’s just gone," said area resident James Swift, who recently moved to the area from St. Louis.
"I was on my evening walk, and noticed a huge void in the landscape. That void is normally filled by the campus of George Mason University. It’s not that hard to miss an entire public university."
Swift, whose alma mater, St. Louis, played Notre Dame in the 2004 NIT, does not remember his program’s head coach asking for the Irish mascot to disappear.
Unfortunately, the Billikens met the same fate as Mason—except their campus has yet to disappear into thin air.
"Perhaps the Irish mob caught wind of this conspiracy to make the Leprechaun disappear, and they enlisted the help of McLaughlin, the Irish Wizard," Swift said. "I mean, they obviously didn’t burn the place down…it just vanished...like Mason’s dreams of another Final Four appearance," he said.
George Mason was unavailable (obviously) for comment.
