Go Zags!

Power Forward, Elias Harris

It's that time of year where everybody in my town of Spokane are pretty amped up about our Gonzaga Bulldogs – both men and women’s teams. You hear people around town chanting to each other “GOZAGS!” as if it were some sort of spiritual blessing, like “God bless you.” It is very exciting to have the Zags playing so well. If the men’s team wins out this weekend they will be the undeniable number one team in the nation. The #1 TEAM!!! That has never happened in the history of the university. Rarified air. They are a ton of fun to watch. Unlike Gonzaga teams of the past, this team isn't trying to just outscore the other team. They play hard-nosed, aggressive defense as well. Words like balance, poise and team-work epitomize this group. It should be fun to see how they fair in the soon approaching March Madness (IMHO, the greatest sporting event in America).

Until then, ah-hem, GOZAGS!
