It’s here! It’s here! Yes, the recruiters work is all done and it’s time to play ball. Of course many lambs will be led to slaughter over the next few weeks as the big boys try to [adopts coachspeak] ‘find a rhythm’ and ‘adapt to the new shot clock’ and ‘learn to play well with others’ and ‘get comfortable at this level’ and ‘understand the offense’ and whatever. These platitudes are usually thrown out after a 103-49 dark alley-mugging of a game against a clearly inferior team that needs a few bucks for their program.
So let’s all give a condescending “Good Game!” cheer to the likes of Colorado, Albany, Siena, Mount St. Mary’s, Morgan State and hell, even Lehigh as they do battle with respectively, ISU, Kentucky, Duke, Maryland, UVA and Syracuse. Gather your shattered egos at the door, kids.

Ugh, what a terrible night. Just got through hugging my kids and apologizing for the world they’re stuck with. Luckily they’re far too young to understand. Other than that, greetings, far-flung neighbors.
There may or may not be a lot of sexy pics tonight, but, we’ve got cute aminals to bring some levity.
One of my kids called from a friend’s house asking me not to go into the office anymore. That was fun.

There’s a rumour going around that this is what Horatio Sanz looks like these days

Why do people believe that their omnipotent space daddies need their help blowing shit up?
They’re OMNIPOTENT.
If they need shit blown up they can do it for themselves.

Holy fuck.
When I left work the world was having a perfectly cromulent Friday 13. Now after playing on my computer for a few hours and getting somewhat drunk I learn this from the place I go to for intellectual dick jokes.
I don’t want to turn on the TV or Radio to harsh my buzz even more, but I assume the Paris thing is Islamist fucking assholes.
I apologize to my fellow members of the commentariat for the next few posts I will make, but I know my angry ID will be coming out.

Shocking: Sarkozy isn’t the president anymore?
More importantly Carla Bruni is no longer the First Lady of France.

Berlusconi was just jealous.

Pitt/Zags suspended due to Kyushu earthquake and subsequent tsunami warning.
I thought it was because of the bleedin’ splish-splash show on the court?

I saw them in Springton. Was pretty good. No encore though.
They only played for 20 minutes!
I found their Stonehenge to be ludicrously small:

Yeah, I guess I made a little bit of a leap on that one.

Thanks for keeping up on this…. I just can’t right now. Those poor people and their loved ones…..
Well, at least shitty xenophobic won’t feel even more justified in being shitty and xenophobic.
Yeah, Trump, looking in your direction.
Also…I mean, damn, this sucks so much.
So much confirmation bias going on for people with triskaidekaphobia
Keep your $50 words to yourself, Sie Doktor!
For a little bit of levity, Hippo and Seamus’ Wolven sort aren’t exactly living up to the new contract extension Mark Gottfried just got. Billy and Mary up 31-20.
oh, and that was only cause we were on a 9-0 run!
There was a game tonight?
Other complaints:
1. No love for Pitt/Zags?
?} ???Lehigh???
Penn beat Bobby Mo, 76-75!
Ice Stillers losing to Ice… Buckeyes(?), 2-0.
Buckeyes, Bungles, Browns…they’re all pink on the inside.
Wow.
Fuck this day.
Apparently, there are still gunmen at large in central Paris. No known numbers or locations.
We need to send in Greg Hardy’s Futon to neutralize the firepower situation. #footballisback
These people are not Muslim extremists. I’d call them nihilists, but at least there’s been some good out of people who are nihilists, philosophers and the like.
Anyway, it’s my birthday and I’m going out to a jazz club. The arts of all things cannot and will not be stopped by these scum of the earth.
The 1% creates these problems, let them (or their kids) go figure it out.
You go enjoy your anonymity and your birthday.
Congrats on your latest lap around Sol!
Have fun. Make sure to use the term “daddio” as I understand this will make you seem “hip” at these jazz-type establishments.
I can can see it now: “Wunda happen in ‘murica; we’uns all armed!”
God damn it all to hell.
Happy B-Day Senor.
While the news is horrendous today don’t let it fuck with your day.
The young lady who was my cousin’s best “man” at his wedding was going to celebrate her 16th B_day on 9/11. As far as she was concerened it was still her B-day, and those assholes couldn’t take it away from her.
We must celebrate the relatively small victories and moments.
Sadly, it appears the previous tweet is correct. CNN saying the deputy mayor of Paris says 118 dead inside the concert hall.
Additionally, the earthquake in Japan appears to be a mass causality event.
No tsunami. So, you know, we got that going for us.
Report of 100 people killed inside the concert venue. Fuck everything.
Oh, boy:

#BREAKING Around 100 dead in attack on Paris concert venue: police
I sincerely hope that isn’t correct.
French President Hollande confirms police operations are continuing.
WE ARE ALL FRENCH SIENA BASKETBALL PLAYERS TONIGHT!
This is tasteless. I apologize.
Hey – France’s lax gun and bomb laws aren’t your fault.
France24 just said the police raid in the concert hall is over, and two attackers were killed. More details to come.
This is confirmed by various other news agencies on Twitter.
Police are raiding the concert hall to save hostages.
That France 24 site is very good.
Doesn’t look like The Louvre was hit:

Foreign Policy says at least 60 confirmed dead (just close the pop-up that appears after it loads):

@AnneBayefsky
CNN: Hostages texting that they are being killed 1-by-1. Begging for police raid.
Confirmation of 42 people dead?
CNN saying 60 now. And hostages being killed ongoing….
Locations of the attacks:
Here’s a live stream:

Credible reports of a 4th site under fire?
Widespread reports of a shooting at the biggest mall in Paris, and possibly – POSSIBLY – at The Louvre.
Hard to judge credibility as it’s unfolding, but they definitely said that.
Fuck!
Well, at this point it’s Vive la France!
My thoughts are with you.
From the alternative station I am listening to in my car “the world is a dumpster.”
That says it perfectly.

Shit’s really hit the fan in Paris.
I just saw that. Christ.
I didn’t think my opinion of humanity could get any lower.
Go on Twitter and check out the #2A people and the “Gun free zone” crowd. It can get much, much lower.
The Bill and Mary juggernaut will fall tonight in Raleigh.
I hope.
Arizona hosts Pacific tonight. Pacific is missing three players (two starters) to NCAA investigations. You’d hope Miller would run it up by 60 on these kids but he’s probably just fuck around with the lineups instead.
Colorado/ISU is on espn2 right now apparently.
Penn at Robert Morris in 33 minutes.
WVU hosts Northern Kentucky (which apparently exists) at 19:00.
[excited giggle]
Also, no #ThreadGhazi tonight.
It’s amazing how many states have directional schools.
I figgered you for being excited about Gonzaga/Pitt…
I am going to the SDSU vs Illinois St game tonight. Wish it weren’t 5+ hours from tip off still.
