Tuesday Night Holyshittheresalotofbasketball Thread

It’s so much fun to see Dook having a “bad” season. It brings us great joy. Of course, those dickblocks will probably land a four-seed in the NCAA Tourney, and roll all the way to the national championship, because we’re not allowed to experience joy for too long.

Anyway, there’s an assload of games tonight. In fact, eleven of the top-25 teams are in action. Potential Naismith Trophy winner Kris Dunn and #16 Providence host #18 Butler to start, 18:30 on FS1. FS1 gets a lot of shit for being terrible, and it’s not unwarranted, but, they do do a fine jorb in college football and basketball broadcasts. The ever-punchable Tom Crean and his 25th-ranked Indiana Hoosiers have Illinois at 19:00 on TWWL, and the #3 Kansas Jawhawks visit Stillwater against the OSU Cowboys. That’s on TWWL2, also at 19:00. The later games have Georgetown going to #5 Xavier on FS1 at 20:30, and finally, Ben Simmons and LSU hosts #10 Texas A&M on TWWL at 21:00.

It’s unfortunate that the NC State and Pitt game isn’t broadcast nationally, if at all. If not even on here, in Yinzburgh. I was REALLY looking forward to watching a Hippo-Seamus-Sill cage match.

Should we start a betting pool?

On the ice, the Blackhawks visit Nashville on NBCSN at 20:00. There’s a few other games, featuring one the biggest rivalries in SPROTS as the FACKIN ICE SAWX go to Montreal to play those commie French Habitants.

The Aussie Tennis Open continues on TWWL2 at 21:00. WhyEaglesWhy ought to attend that and give his taeks.

Lastly, adding to what’s already been a completely craptucular month for music, Eagles founding member Glenn Frey died yesterday. I like the Eagles. I always have. COME AT ME BROS. 

.Alright, let’s get to the abusing of substances!

GOP strategist Rick Wilson on the average Trump supporter:

“I think that there is definitely still a very significant portion of the party that is a limited government conservatism based faction of the overall coalition. Now the screamers and the crazy people on the all-right as they call it, you know, who love Donald Trump, who have plenty of Hitler iconography in their Twitter icons and names who think Donald Trump is the greatest thing. Oh, it’s something. But the fact of the matter is most of them are childless, single men who masturbate to Anime. They’re not real political players. These are not people who matter in the overall course of humanity.”

Circular firing squads are the best firing squads.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Wait….masturbating to anime is far right thing?
Dammit…why did no one tell me this? So much time wasted.

Just got off the phone. The whole reason why I have to go to Japan is because I have to completely rewire and commission a piece of equipment that our one supplier fucked up royally. It was suppose to just be as simple as hooking it up and turning it on. Instead, I got to replace stuff on it, rewire it, and modify all the logic and software when I get there (depending on what the supplier ended up shipping because I CAN’T EVEN GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER OUT OF THEM ABOUT THIS SHIT!)

I found a new supplier. They do work for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. These folks don’t fuck around. They actually have a QA department. The fuck ups I deal with are the whole reason I fly to Detroit on a by monthly basis. AND…these folks are based like 3 hours away by car. So in the random off chance I have to go there, I don’t have to take a flight or get a hotel. It sounds perfect!

Only…they are about $15k more expensive per unit. Instead of like $55k unit, we are looking at $70k. We sell these things for like $80k a piece. So on this phone call, I get told by my boss its a no go as it cuts too far into profit and they expect them to compete with a supplier that is basically a fly by night organization based out of a car garage. I then ask him if he knows how much my flights and hotel in Japan are. Yeah…I blow through $15k easily on each one of these fucking jobs fixing this shit in the field. Its literally the same screw ups again and again.

I swear to god the shit my management worries about is fucking insane.

Sharkbait

Can you go first class to Japan at least?

JustStopDude

Oh hell no…if my company could, they would have us in the cargo hold.

They seriously tried to start collecting our frequent flier miles before a couple of us field engineers explained that it would have a big tax implication, along with…most of us quitting.

I don’t even use my miles. I donate them to Ronald McDonald’s House (they helped out my parents when I was a gimp as a kid) along with my hotel points. Its the principle of it though.

Sharkbait

That’s kind of a dick move by them. Good on you for donating the miles.

This isn’t a Top 25 team, not even close.

I dunno yet, weird season is weird. Somebody’s gotta be in the Top 25/tournament. Lotsa season left.

I’m eating a kale salad right now because why wife made it for me and I love her.

/hopefully she never EVER again makes a kale salad for me ever again

scotchnaut

EVER!

King Hippo

HEY, if you juice kale with enough other stuff (a lime or lemon is REQUIRED), it’s not half bad.

But even my health nazi little sister doesn’t like kale in solid form.

Sill Bimmons

“…why wife…”

Innocent typo or a revelation of something deeper, more salad-related?

scotchnaut

“My?” “Why?” There’s absolutely nothing to see here. Why would you make me draw attention to this?

King Hippo

The bad thing about supporting a shit team is knowing it’s not a matter of “if” they “can” blow a 28-point lead, but “how” they “will” do so.

Halle-fucking-lujah, Zucc. Ice Giants have outshot the Ice BC Lions by more than 2 to 1 (14-1 in the 3rd) and FINALLY tie it at 2.

Yes, getting into bourble in Disneyland can be expensive, but the Fozz spawn have been riding on my tab since Sunday, time to help old Uncle “Jew Hater” Walt get his wallet a little more swole.

Bottoms up, you buncha assclowns.

I sincerely hope if you have enough to put together into some #content from this trip for your own that you publish one.

To my knowledge, the late, great Hunter S. Thompson never wrote of his experiences (real or imagined) inside Disneyworld.

It is up to YOU, jjfozz, to fix this grave injustice.

Senor Weaselo

Have you ever seen jjfozz and Hunter S. Thompson in the same place? I don’t care if Thompson’s been dead for 10 years, have you?

Palin endorsing Trump is perfect.

Funny story, 12 years ago I worked at The Westin Turnberry In Scotland. After I left Trump bought the hotel. Yesterday Vice ran a story about locals protesting the Trump Turnberry, and they were protesting at the entrance right in front of my old bedroom. I would have fucking snapped if I had been woken up during those times.

No, it was up at Troon, but a lot of the players stayed there. Helicopters flew in and out all day. Jim Furyk and his father are great people, Dad loves the whisky and banter, got the bartenders weekend passes for the whole tourney.

So I’m back from a trip to Mammoth. My arm is sore because I had the misfortune of encountering the Vontaze Burfict of trees. And to think I thought my helmet was going to make me invincible. Waste of goddamned money.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

By which I mean the helmet, and I’m not at all serious. The trip itself was an EXCELLENT use of money.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Though I don’t appreciate Mammoth’s app telling me that they got a foot of snow today. GEE THANKS A LOT MAMMOTH THAT’S REALLY GOOD TO KNOW NOW THAT I’M 300 MILES AWAY.

Hey, if you have the app, it’ll tell you the snow.

I remember being forced to choose between paying to ski and paying for intoxicants.

I stand by my decision.

JustStopDude

Let’s see…I leave for JapanLand tomorrow. Found out that one of my supervisors…oh who am I kidding…I don’t even work for the asshole, has me going to Detroit two fucking days after I get back from Japan.

Dealing with shitty emails all night. Shithead sales guy tells a customer that we can deliver a motor in 10 weeks…which we can’t. We need 24 weeks lead time. Also, the fucking thing has to go from Japan to England. So that means going through massive amount of regs to make sure they meet EU standards and we have a massive mess of customs regulations we have to go through. And they want a bunch of extras for it. I keep bugging the guy to give me the fucking specs so I can…I don’t know…try and ORDER THE FUCKING THING! Shit for brains ignores me for two days and proceeds to direct email the wrong factory in Japan. So now we got extra people involved that aren’t necessary…and a language barrier.

Just got a shitty email from the dude with 30 people CC’d demanding me to response to this inane email string that consists of people in THREE FUCKING COUNTRIES TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO THE FUCKING SALES GUY HE NEEDS TO ANSWER THE VERY FIRST EMAIL FROM ME. I finally lost it and just sent this all to half the company….

“I will order the motor when you tell me specifically what the FUCKING SPECS ARE! And stop asking for drawings. They take four weeks to make AFTER we have the kick off meeting. And we can’t have the kick off meeting UNTIL YOU GIVE ME THE GODDAMN SPECS GARY!”

Gary is a dick. Like all sales people.

Having to had to deal with sales people at job, my heart goes out to you.

No worries WCS. I am less than an hour from Raleigh and am gonna have to find a pirated stream if I want to watch NCSU/Pitt, thanks to the pissing contest between DirecTV and the local ACCN affiliate, compounded by the ESPN3 blackout bullshit.

Or I could go out in the fucking cold and put an antenna up. Yeah….that’s gonna happen.

At 0-fer ACC, looking for the stream might be more trouble than it’s worth.
