2017 ELITE Saturday Madness!!

First off, congratulations to the Florida Gators and Bucky Badger for giving us our first truly epic game, where both teams fought like scalded dogs and nobody derped away the ending.  Florida just made the last unbelievable clutch, dagger play.

#11W Xavier v. #1W Gonzaga (6:09, TBS)

A friend of mine told me that the Jesuits were like the Marines of the Catholic church.  Well then, ooh-rah X!!  I recall talk about the Zags joining the “Catholic Seven” when the Big East re-formed in the wake of mass defections to the ACC. But ultimately, they stayed West, and slightly less geographically misfit Creigh-Creigh became side #10, joining #s 8 and 9 Xavier and Butler.  Anyway, this will be a fascinating matchup on many levels.  Really looking forward to it.

#3MW Oregon v. #1MW Kansas (8:49, TBS)

One of my hazy thoughts derived from this tourney is that I have vastly underestimated Dana Altman’s coaching chops.  He will rise even higher in my estimation if he can get the Ducks (and their retina-scalding unis) past this one.  Kansas, as always, can get right fucked.

See everyone tonight!

Remember Kalisto? He was great.

Wakezilla

I just started watching Lucha Underground and I couldn’t help but think, what the heck happened to Kalisto, anyway?

He hurt?

Gratliff

I hope so. That Ziggler vs. Kalisto & Apollo Crews anger was so fucking bad, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just booted them all out

Mr. Ayo

I’m right here baby!

The problem with wrestling in the 2Ks…

Vince in summer 2015: “The fans want me to make a young star, ok, I’ll put over Roman Reigns.”

Vince in Summer 2016: “The fans didn’t like Roman Reigns as champ? Wait until they get a load of Brock Lesnar winning! ”

Vince in Summer 2017: “The fans want me to put over a young star? Ok, I’ll put over Roman Reigns.”

Help me, Kevin Owens’ T-Shirt Sales. You’re my only hope.

Max Landis is a complete piece of shit, and I desperately need him to make a new Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling.

Brocky

if you can indulge me, why do so many fans seem to dislike him so?

I understand he’s a bit conceited, but in all fairness, i’d be too, if i were in his position.

Wakezilla

He’s a lot of things, but, American Alien is the DC reboot this world needs to be made into a movie franchise.

Gratliff

I believe it started when he got in a bunch of shit a few years ago when he told the story of a girl he was dating, that he would body shame all the time, and apparently the girl ended up with eating disorders and shit. Other than that, he is endlessly spouting stupid shit. Things about it being so hard to grow up rich and privileged, attacking the trend of women centric comedies, and whatever current bad opinion is floating around twitter.

Gratliff

The undercard is different.

Woooo! Canada’s collegiate team, The Oregon Ducks won, baby! So, if the Bulldogs wins and the Maple Ducks win, I’ve won, yeah?

My favorite part of this segment was Rusev dropping the over the top accent, but still using his goofy normal accent while attempting to use southern dialect and showing no understanding of the structure of America.comment image

I loved the payoff in Episode 4. I was rolling on the floor.

What’s this from?

Stop what you are doing and watch this:

What were they parodying?

Every movie about mediocre middle-class white lesbians from the last 25 years.

No, the movie they were ripping off.

I have no fucking idea, i just saw totinos, then i got hungry

Oh great. Now I wanna fuck a Totino’s Pizza!

WCS

So, the basketball was a fucking disaster. That said, F1 starts in a few minutes. So, let’s prep to see Mercedes (aka UNC/Dook/Kentucky of F1) dominate yet another Australian Gran Prix.

This was the last time I’ve every truly marked out:

Still love how the only feud Bray won for years was against the guy who was about to take over the wrestling world, and he didn’t win another feud until he randomly became champion going in to headline Wrestlemania 3 years later.

Redshirt

He earned that “You Deserve It!” chant.

Brocky

He did too, consistently delivered no matter what feud he was in

Redshirt

He was like Daniel Bryan. You give him a turd, he’ll turn it into gold.

my bracket this year reminded me why I don’t fill out brackets

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I know precisely dick and I was top in our group til like an hour ago

Brocky

yeah, but i try too hard, that’s my problem.

gotta got the two face route. flip a coin and shit

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I went the favorites for most, took out the teams of schools I hate a round early, and used what info was forced on me locally to make a few calls that might be upsets

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I never watched a second of it but a WI win would have helped me a great deal. Fuckers losing by one

Croooow

Every time my bracket goes bust I declare: “That does it. I can’t predict worth a damn. I’m done with this whole silly bracket thing.”

Next March: I’m enthusiastically filling out my bracket and convince myself I picked all the winners.

Somehow I still have two of the Final Four teams alive (at least until Kentucky shits the bed tomorrow).

Actually he won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoloy card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game UNO

So is poker dead now that the blinds have been raised so high a new player or someone who busts can’t play again?

Redshirt

Actually Poker died in the late 2000s when the Internet Poker Players decided to leave their parents’ basements and venture out into the real world into the Casinos and then ran out of money.

Mr. Ayo

I’ve got your moneymaker right here!

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I meant our stupid play money games, but late aughts is when I quit playing too before now

Redshirt

I quit playing when the local Casinos decided to replace the Bad Beat Jackpots with crappy jackpots while still taking the same amount of take but capping the jackpot at $20,000 instead of letting it build until someone hits it.

Unsurprised

Someone moderate my other comment.

This goes well with Moose’s jpg

Ah, yes. The movie that my dad let me watch at 5 years old that would fuck me up about zombies for years to come. It’s funny how much more fucked up that movie is to a small child.

Unsurprised

What movie?

WCS

Return of the Living Dead Part II (or something akin)

Gratliff

First return of the living dead. Part 2 was even goofier, and had much of the same cast, zombie deaths from part 1 not withstanding. Part 3 was more unintentionally awful, and featured goth self-harm zombies and weaponized zombies.

WCS

One of the very few things I can give Roanoke credit for, is the food/bar scene. If I hadn’t been drinking for the last nine hours (give or take), I’d rattle off some of the places we used to haunt. I’m curious to know if they’re still around. One that I can recall is the Irish pub, Annie Moore’s. MacAdoo’s was another decent place. Cornbeef & Company had some good eats, too.

Mr. Ayo

I want some milk

Unsurprised

it’s a shame she got super fit for Blade 3 and her boobs got smaller, and then never got bigger again. Not even after having a kid.
