Flacco Eight Preview/Game Thread (Sunday Edition)

Yes, I’m recycling the picture. I don’t care enough about today’s games to try very hard. Take it out of my paycheck.

10MW Syracuse vs. 1MW Virginia (6:09, TBS)

Fun fact – when these two teams played in the regular season, I am 95% sure that the game didn’t even make it to TV at all in North Cakalaky (regional split on the ACCN). Usually, WRAL shows the secondary game on its SD channel, but they didn’t even bother for this unwatchable turd. And this is now your regional final. Again…unflavored ice milk FOAR TEH PEOPLES.

6E Notre Dame vs. 1E U*NC (8:49, TBS)

At one point, the cheaters had a surprisingly tough road to the Final Four. Then, both Kentucky and West By God Virginia got upset. FUCK EVERYTHING.

I ain’t no fancy lawyerin type, but it seems to me, there’s one a them conflict of interest things when someone employed by a tv network to be on a tv show on tv (Barkley) is also in a commercial which gets shown during every commercial break during that same tv show.

I loved playing baseball. Baseball was always my first love. I played in a Catholic League for two years…until my birth defect got me in trouble (I couldn’t pass a physical).

My father only went to one game. Not that he didn’t support me…he couldn’t handle the insanity that the other parents displayed from the stands. My sophomore year, we only lost two home games, both forfeit, because the same parent showed up really drunk and the cops had to show up.

He was a cop so he never got in trouble despite being banned from ever showing up in the first place.

Sill Bimmons

Growing up in the 70s that shit didn’t happen to me.

I can’t remember a single disruptive parent at anything I ever did as a kid.

theeWeeBabySeamus

So with ‘Cuse and ‘Nova both in, does the Big East kinda have two F4 teams?
What say you Big East and ACC fans?

scotchnaut

I guess those teams that were around during its heyday will always be associated with the Big East but things change/need to change and I’m glad Cuse is in the ACC now.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Well we’re damned glad to have you, FWIW.
Now, if you could do something about the Boston College thing, I think we’d all really appreciate that. They can take Wake with ’em if they want.

scotchnaut

Perfect example of addition by subtraction.

I had a roommate in college that would get one of those KFC Double Downs like once a week.

This was the same guy that would complain I never brought people over to hang out at our place, even after I kept telling him to put pants on if he was going to be out of his bedroom.

Never understood how someone could hate their colon so fucking much…

I generally avoid fast food of all kinds these days. But I do have a weakness for Long John Silvers shitty fish and chicken strips. Luckily for my coronary arteries they are difficult to come by at my current residence.
Those goddamned things were seemingly on every corner in AZ.
It’s like a combination of crack/meth/heroin to me.

theeWeeBabySeamus

And yes…I did, in fact, always buy the biggest family meal they sell and eat that shit for two days. Not as good re-heated…but still pretty fucking good.

GODDAMMIT!!!!!

Reheat it under the broiler until it starts to sizzle for 2-3 minutes.

It’ll be crispy like it just came out of the fryer.

Works for even the soggiest day-old fried food.

theeWeeBabySeamus

That’s exactly how I used to do it!!!!

Fast food overseas is amazing. McDonalds in Japan has this shrimp sandwich that is fucking fantastic compared to anything available on their menu in the states.

Across the board, all fast food is better overseas.

Their stats are way wrong on his W/L.

Actually, I just checked. They’re not wrong so much as five years old.

Is it me or do people working in advert departments really weight “staring contests” as a lot more germane then they are in the real world?
