The Final Four.  Send someone and follow @cammuncations

We will forever blame George Mason.  It's their fault.

You see GMU is Steve Cummings alma mater and GMU basketball is the only organized sport he follows.

It was clear to us that as his employers of a business named after a sports icon we were left with one choice.  Send him to Indianapolis.

So we did and it was an experience that he will never forget.

Imagine our dilemma this year with three UR grads and four VCU alums.  Not that we were rooting for Kansas on Friday but that lightened our load a little bit.  But this morning we told our four VCU grads that we would buy one travel package and that one of them could go to the games.

Imagine our horror when initially all of them said they couldn't go.  It was a combination of work-related and personal issues that forced that resounding no.  After some consultation with their co-workers, Cameron McPherson emerged as the lucky Ram who will board the charter jet on Friday.  

Cam will live tweet @cammunicationsCam will send us pictures and live tweet his experiences.  We will live vicariously through him.

We urge other Richmond-area employers to consider this as well.  Based on our past experience this is a great time not only for the person who goes but for those back at home who can experience these games through their friend.

So Richmond, send someone to Houston.  And "Go, Rams, Go!!!"
