Day #2 – we can do this!! Rest is for the weak, and you can sleep when you dead. Or comatose. I’ll give ya that.
#10MW Oklahoma State v. #7MW Michigan (12:15, CBS)
Starting it off with a quality fixture! The Pokes are a Hippo Sleeper ™ and the Wolverines are a media sleeper. Something gotta give, ya know? Early returns are better for the Big 12 than the B1G whatevs, so…
#14E New Mexico State v. #3E Baylor (12:40, truTV)
Another team I know fuckall about taking on an enigmatic, weirdly-coached team that I expect will rise to the occasion and make a deep run or completely shit itself. Or rape a whole bunch of people, that seems to be the BayBay default setting.
#9S Seton Hall v. #8S Arkansas (1:30, TNT)
Pig Sooey is back, and they draw perennial Big East pain-in-the-ass Seton Hall. This should be a fun, free-flowing game, so obviously it will be a total turd.
#14MW Iona v. #3MW Oregon (2:00, TBS)
Ooooooh, Hippo smells upset. Or maybe I’m having a stroke. Hey, it could be two things! The not-St. Mary’s-varietal Gaels have a fighting chance with the Ducks’ leading rebounder out with a blown ACL.
#15MW Jacksonville State v. #2MW Louisville (2:45, CBS)
This is the first ever dance for Jax State, but don’t expect it to go as sweetly as it did for Northwestern yesterday. Fuckface, Sr. will look to get the family back to .500 at least. He has a really good team, which is good given how extra evil KS is this season.
#11E USC v. #6E SMU (3:10, truTV)
So many initials! So much high-temp basketball!! An early tip time for a team that played late Wednesday night…spells buh bye, Troi boiz. But we got to enjoy your song girls, at least.
#16S Texas Southern v. #1S U*NC (4:00, TNT)
All I will say is, get this most unlikely win, and I will buy a sweatshirt and wear it proudly. Definitely to the office.
#11MW Rhode Island v. #6 Creighton (4:30, TBS)
It’s a shame thinking about how far Creigh-Creigh could have gone had they not lost their starting PG in January. But they did, and they’re still quite good. Rhode Island is a tough, fairly athletic team that should give the Jays a tough game.
And a lovely, wet snow has begun to fall here in the Shenandoah Valley.
Lock it in, baby!

Technically I did work today. I just finished payroll from home.
With a beer in my hand!
Productivity motherfuckers!
Beer #6.
Beer 5 never had a chance, poor little guy.
Brian Eno & Talking Heads “King’s Lead Hat”(for all you anagram fans). Thought everyone would like the song. Thought Moose might LOVE the video.

Great stuff.
From his solo stuff.
More Eno.

“I joined USAA in…”
The least these schedule makers can do is not air these games in the middle of goddamn work days.
This is why God invented “sick” days.
I think the DFO collectively called in sick today.
I scheduled this day off months ago.
It’s good to be the boss.
I had to go in today, couldn’t get out of it.
Good afternoon, men and women of the commentist party.
Greetings Mr. Phuck!
Reporting for duty sir.
These USAA commercials are going to cause me to throw the baby into the television at some point.
A refreshing new spin on “Poltergeist”.

So I just got off the phone with the state corporation commission. Fortunately they are owned by the energy utilities so I’m optimistic that they’ll be of some help. First I got the, “Well, if you didn’t document the outages…” talk but I told her I have my bill adjusted almost every month because of their shit — and the months when I don’t, it’s because I just don’t have the time/energy to fight with CenturyLink (fuck you, Seahawks/12ers).
So I guess they have a week to acknowledge the complaint. Then I start pushing to take them to small claims court every month (probably against my contract but fuck them).

That was a hell of a game.
I had that on my bracket.
Things are going to start happening for me now!
So for all your lawerly/tech types.
Our work phone/internet is through CenturyLink. For years we’ve had service issues (like, once a week our phones go out for 4+ hours and our internet speeds never exceed 7 Megs though we pay for 20) and the issue is that the lines in the street are fucked but CL has told us they aren’t going to replace them. Since any provider uses the same lines, we can’t use Cox for any better service.
Now, I thought the reason we gave these fucktards publicly protected monopolies was so they would guarantee a certain level of service to everyone. Mind you, I’m not in a rural area, it’s just that our office is in an industrial area and our neighbors are on corners so they use lines from the adjacent streets, so I guess their reasoning is that the line updates would service only one office (mine).
What recourse do I have to strong arm them on this? I’d like to file an FCC complaint but I don’t know how far that will go considering we still have ANY level of service.
Do you have a normal Joe Blow consumer account? If they offer Business accounts, some isps care a little more about quality of service for those. Otherwise, you’re pretty much fucked unless you want to front the bill for them to build out better infrastructure (10k+ usually).
Or, document the status of your service impeccably, noting down times and speed tests and the like, and try to get refunds; if they dont pay up, take it to small claims court.
And whatever you do, don’t look into who runs the FCC these days and his statements/rulings, unless you want to induce a rage-clot. At least then you wouldn’t have to deal with bad internet.
We do have a business account. CL has been wiling to issue credits on our bill but my concern is that we’re, you know, a business who doesn’t have reliable phone service. I mean, why the fuck do I need to pay for their line repairs? They get to gouge everyone, I figured in return they could at least be responsible for their own shit.
Basically, they can make you pay for whatever they want, since you have no other options and it’s not regulated like a utility. Hell, my gas bill gets a mysterious “infrastructure replacement” charge during/after major construction which will probably never go away. And since there’s no competition, they don’t need to upgrade their services to keep your business. When google fiber was about to roll out in select cities, att conveniently found the money to upgrade their services only in the same locations where google would be, and finally, SOMEHOW found it profitable to drop prices in those areas as well.
Maybe there is some wireless internet provider in the area? Sometimes they are adequate.
Wife’s uncle is techy. He got me info on some local wimax providers. Sounds like that’s my best bet considering, as you pointed out, CenturyLink will never upgrade the lines.
Why didn’t Eric Dickerson U. call timeout to set something up?
can’t leave them shooters

So the USC Song Girls were genetically designed in a lab to induce happiness right? They are mathematically appealing.
Yeah, but not at USC. Their command of scientific principles is tenuous at best.
Mr Hippo,
I’ll try to say this nicely, you probably don’t need to feature the SMU cheerleaders any time soon.
They seem nice though.
More like the SMH cheerleaders, amirite?
