2017 Madness – Sweet Sixteen Friday Open Thread

How do you ensure getting your cheer and/or dance squad featured on the preview post?  You beat one of the hated Blues, that’s how…

#4S Butler v. #1S North Carolina (7:09, CBS)

I’ve never wanted to hear a cringeworthy Jim Nantz “The Butler did it!!” pun MOAR in my entire stupid life.  P.S.  A player in this fixture served as the inspiration for a Commentist Party member’s chosen moniker.  Bonus imaginary points if’n you can figure out who.

#7E South Carolina v. #3E Baylor (7:39, TBS)

The Chickens aren’t really used to being the good guy, nor really having they basketball side having notice paid to it all (outside of being coached by a Mafia hitman).  But when you beat Coach K, then take on the embodiment of Rape Culture the next time out…you get a little following.

#3S UCLA v. #2S Kentucky (9:39, CBS)

CBS executives all simultaneously ejaculate (even the ladies).  Yes, I will still reluctantly watch.  Big Blue will roll.

#8E Wisconsin v. #4E Florida (10:09, TBS)

Time to see how good Bucky Badger’s deal with the devil is.  Nothing fluky about their win over Nova – they just beat ’em straight up.  The Gators are playing like a house of fire right now, so yet another gear needs to be found/goat to be sacrificed.

Never have I seen such an ipad player, he’s a generational talent.

It’s peak France, this crew.

herodotus450

They won’t win the All Time Peak France award until they get super mega popular, and then retire just to stick it in everyone’s faces.

Seeing a car decline to run over that guy from the Big Bang Theory and honk at him instead is like all those Jets having a chance to level Tom Brady when he gets out in front of the ballcarrier. I’m not sure whether to be sad or furious.

Senor Weaselo

Yes.

I see Ryan and Trump gave Baylor a pep talk before tonight’s game.

herodotus450

Butler without that Gordon Ligthfoot guy just never had a chance.

How embarrassing. Based on the score, TBS has the seeds reversed on the teams.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wow. There’s a word for what’s happening to Baylor but it’s not a term that school officials would recognize or acknowledge.

Bloody Lethal

In honor of Coach Cal, I just enjoyed a delicious pregame chicken parm.

New basketball rule: you can trade a timeout for 5 points if you’re down by more than 20 in the second half. Or just institute a running clock in the same situation and get the bloodbath over with.

herodotus450

Or, force them to replace a player with the student who did all their homework for 2 minutes of game time.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wish they had instituted that rule during the Super Bowl. But it’s of little consequence; Kyle Shanahan would still have found a way to shit the bed.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I haven’t seen a Butler looking so wrecked since Woodhouse got his prescription for Fentanyl filled.

So Billy Idol and David Bowie are different people, eh?

If “Too Much Whiskey” was a drink it would be my favorite.

Of course the Kansas fan is the asshole in that Coke ad.

theeWeeBabySeamus

If there’s a KU fan nearby, it’s usually a safe bet they’re the asshole no matter where they are.
(I presume you might be a KU fan, so apologies)
((still true tho))

Croooow

Definitely not a Jayhawk fan, so it’s all good.

herodotus450

Calvin Klein underwear too! I hope she doesn’t expect a steady supply of that from me, I’m not made of money. Or underwear.

That’s another I’ve been meaning to binge but haven’t found the time yet.
Drinking and feeling sorry for oneself takes up a shitload of time, man.

“Blue Carolina” is still one syllable though, right?

I like mustard BBQ, but otherwise both Carolinas can fuck the fuck off.

Bloody Lethal

I drive to Georgia from New York every year. Driving through the Carolinas is when I’m at my bleakest.

I was fortunate to catch two unbelievable concerts this past week. I saw Clapton on Sunday night at MSG and followed it up with Wilco at the Beacon on Wednesday. If you’ve never heard of Wilco or their guitarist Nels Cline (since 2004), get on it. He honestly floors me every time we see him. Has to be one of the best guitarists I’ve ever witnessed. He’s out of this world.

Completely agree on Nels Cline. He’s amazing.
