Basketball Coma – Friday Night (Almost Finished!)

Remember that scene in “The Great Outdoors” where John Candy is trying to eat that 96-oz steak (one has to suspend disbelief and pretend that would be a challenge), and Dan Aykroyd insists he’s finished. “There’s nothing left on that plate but fat and gristle!”

Ladies and gentlemen, your fat and gristle…

10E Pittsburgh vs. 7E Wisconsin (6:50, TNT)

The bland leading the bland. Anytime one of these sides is ahead, feel free to use this historically apt line.

14E Stephen F. Austin vs. 3E West By God Virginia (7:10, CBS)

Taking on all of The King of Track Suits’ men seems like a mighty tall order for one dude, even if’n he is from Texas.

14W Green Bay vs. 3W Texas A&M (7:20, TBS)

Both of these professional sports organizations are far more known for their footy pursuits, so what an interesting fish out of water tale this shall be!

16(T)W Holy Cross vs. 1W Oregon (7:27, truTV)

No means quack?

15E Weber State vs. 2E Xavier (9:20, TNT)

Harold “The Show” Arcineaux ain’t walking through that door, which is too bad, because Xavier be ripe for the pluckin.’

11(T)E Michigan vs. 6E Notre Dame (9:40, CBS)

Something about Desmond Howard and Rocket Ismail.

11W Northern Iowa vs. 6W Texas (9:50, TBS)

This makes me think about former Panther RB David Johnson, who will be my top keeper next season, and now I really wants it to be football season already. Also, FUCK TEXAS and FUCK SHAKA SMART.

9W Cincinnati vs. 8W St. Joseph’s (9:57, truTV)

Phil Martelli looks exactly the same as when he coached that Elite Eight squadron, which I think was like 15 years ago. Pretty sure he bathes in toddler blood. Also pretty sure he would kick Mick Cronin’s ass in a fight, which would make this game worth watching.

GO CORN TEAM

I think that everyone misses having conversations with intelligent human beings.
And that’s why were here.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I hope you didn’t do that on purpose.
It’s way funnier if it was accidental…and makes me feel better about my own typos.

Doktor Zymm

I remember when I was with it and enjoyed new things. But that’s cause new stuff wasn’t crap back then! *shakes fist at cloud*

ThePirateSloth
theeWeeBabySeamus

WTG Wheezy.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Someone else was watching Daredevil earlier and they mentioned the one shot stairway scene. It really was done incredibly well. I say one shot but I know they cheated somewhere in the middle at least once, didn’t see it on my first viewing.

Unsurprised

That was me.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

How far into it are you? I was thinking of doing 3 more eps tonight but taking a break for a minute here. And how are you enjoying it so far?

Doktor Zymm

Hah! Remembered the name.

laserguru

Oh get the fuck out of here!

Look what we’ve done!

Niiiiice.

WCS

No, fuck them. Fuck Gibby Haynes with a rusty razor. He’s the douchebox that introduced Scott Weiland to the brown sugar.

theeWeeBabySeamus

He’d have found it either way I suspect.

WCS

Most likely, but the fact is he did it first.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I remember back…a long time ago now, not sure how long…hearing Courtney Love saying something about being worried about all the drugs Scott was doing.

With that as a back drop, it’s amazing to me he made it another 1.5-ish decades.

laserguru

So much happiness.
Love that song.

Aw, now I’m all nostalgic about my goth phase.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh my.

Col. Duke LaCross

Saw them in concert once without ever hearing anything about them beforehand. Eye-opener to say the let.

Col. Duke LaCross

Least

theeWeeBabySeamus

Welp, half my final four went down today (condolences WCS…sincerely).
If KU and OU can cock it up now, I can just go ahead and masturbate for the the next two weeks.

Unsurprised

Literally.

laserguru

I was having a really hard time coming up with songs to relax to for the request line.
But I can head the other direction with no problem.

Doktor Zymm

Aw man, I remember KMFDM! I suspect I still have a CD somewhere….

Doktor Zymm

I prefer a different interpretation of “foul trouble.” I have fun with my own personal universe.

I watched my first game of the tourney earlier tonight, unfortunately it was WI/Pitt going back and forth missing every shot for 2 and a half hours

The new season of Daredevil that I have been watching since has been good.

herodotus450
Unsurprised

It’s funnier if it says Sideways instead of Later.

Doktor Zymm

Bah, I should call on evil forces to create more upsets.

WCS

You should enlist the Cthulu-worshiping Girl Scouts.

Doktor Zymm

Sadly they’re all off diving in Lake Michigan, trying to find R’lyeh. I never should have helped them qualify for their Scuba Terror badges.

theeWeeBabySeamus

/has the sound way down, heard announcers say something about Allie LaForce and a cramp in the calf.
//knee jerk response….I’LL RUB IT!!!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

We pounded those assholes today in el beisbol at least.

Unsurprised

Those Catholic boys know all about getting their shit pushed in.

Doktor Zymm

Technically, the term “nothing but net” still applies to air balls that brush the net.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Try not to break a hip.
/shit, I’m older than him

Doktor Zymm

I recently bought slippers from CVS. They are leopard print. When I wear them I pretend I’m a Trump supporter who lives in Palm Springs.

Ih-er

theeWeeBabySeamus

Roujnob (hahaha…bonjour backwards means red knob…sort of).

Doktor Zymm

It’s a good thing that it’s called Stephen F. Austin, so we won’t confuse it with Stephen G. Austin University.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Still think they should call themselves the Bionics.
But I’m weird that way.

It wasn’t that long ago that they didn’t have all the games on was it.

Senor Weaselo

Thank goodness for TruT–bahaha, damn, I was so close to saying that without laughing.

Doktor Zymm

I just assume it’s a TV station that only broadcasts food photography from the restaurant Tru, and I’m not letting the fact that they’re airing basketball destroy my delusion.

Croooow

The 1 seeds went 4-0 once again over 16 seeds. It’s just not going to happen, will it?

Senor Weaselo

Someday. But it’ll be a team we all dearly love, to show it will be at great cost.

WCS

Whenever WVU gets it’s first No. 1 seed it will.

Doktor Zymm

I think someone just walked by my apartment chanting “U.S. Christian” loudly and heading towards Boystown.

WCS

Just another Catholic priest. Pay no mind.

Doktor Zymm

If I wasn’t so lazy and putting on pants wasn’t involved I would follow him to see what happens. But I am, it does, and if it’s any good it’ll show up in the news tomorrow anyway.

Sill Bimmons

If any of you are serious about Aussie pies, I’ve had them all from this place and they’re great.

You need to get the Rosella tomato sauce if you want the full effect.

This looks awesome!

Col. Duke LaCross

I don’t remember Utah ever getting this kind of attention during a primary. I’m thinking about going down to the Trump riot downtown tonight just for kicks. It’ll be the whitest riot since the last time Duke won the national championship.

WCS

So, last April?

I did not begin the smbc parade, only perpetuated it

Senor Weaselo

Evening everyone. I think it’s safe to say we’re all rooting for a Final Four of VCU, Hawaii, Stephen F. Austin, and Middle Tennessee State?

/Yes, Yale’s a lower seed than VCU, but they’re also Yale

ballsofsteelandfury

They won’t even have the common courtesy to give us all some good Duke Schadenfreude.

Doktor Zymm

Yup!

WCS

Joke’s on all of yinz: that was my Final Four!

/builds time machine
//goes back to Tuesday
///fixes brackets
////makes all the monehs
/////WVU still loses

Doktor Zymm

Also, it appears Northern Iowa could be making a bid for that thar final 4.

Senor Weaselo
ballsofsteelandfury

Hey, Yeah Right, how were those Aussie pies?

Spectacular but…
Holy god that was a major starch bomb.
Excellent otherwise.
