2017 Madness – Sweet Sixteen Thursday Open Thread

The well sure is running dry FOAR teams fer which to root.  There’s WCS’ cousinfuckers, and 15 shades of hate and/or rape.  Huzzah, Murrika.

#7MW Michigan v. #3MW Oregon (7:09, CBS)

Well, two teams I expected to sputter and fade have instead blitzkrieged through the tourney’s early rounds.  Hopefully, they will at least put on an enjoyable clinic of offensery this evening.

#4W West By God Virginia v. #1W Gonzaga (7:39, TBS)

All I ever needed to know about ESPN’s “BPI” metric is that it gives the ‘Zags the best chance at advancing to the Final Four of any of the sides (like 48%).  Uh, sure, ok.  Expect The King of Track Suits (and Sometimes REI Tents as Mumus) to run train on the media narrative this evening.

#4MW Purdue v. #1MW Kansas (9:39, CBS)

You won’t watch any of this game.  It will be complete and utter shit.  Of course, I’ve underestimated the Boilermakers all along, but still…it ends in ugly fashion tonite.

#11W Xavier v. #2W Arizona (10:09, TBS)

Feel teh soap opera dramatics!!  Sean Miller takes on the place he left FOAR the desert!!  Though to be fair, everyone leaves X but Chris Mack.  Based on the run of play, this could be an excellent, hard fought game that will have you cursing your alarm clock more than usual come Friday morn.

Reclusive, vulgar Broncos fan. Also a proud fookin' Evertonian. Likely dropped on my head repeatedly as a small child. [Insert George Carlin quote followed by thoughtful nod.]

Just a quick aside; I’m still alive but work has been kicking my ass this week.
There’s a new CEO and in an act of proper dick wagging he decides he needs a new logo instead of the logo that was redesigned by the previous CEO about 8 months ago and he scares the shit out of finance by demanding that they produce their financials.

Long story short, I’m getting too old to do my job.
I can still handle it but I am fucking wiped.

It was a young mans game back when I started doing it 31 years ago and I ain’t that young any more.

I’ll keep fighting, keep working but damn this shit ain’t as easy as it used to be.

I feel like I’ve gone a solid 15 rounds tonight.

Fuck it, let’s do a shot!

On the off chance you think I’m this old crippled bastard, well apart from being correct, I did a full 5 mile walk on the beach before work in an hour and 5 minutes and I’ll be doing the same again tomorrow.

I ain’t done by a damn site!
