Basketball Fatigue (But Still ELITE) Open Thread

Don’t know about you, but when I think ELITE HOOPS, I think Pacific Northwest (first two semifinalists) and SEC, Pawwwwwwwllllll (3 of today’s 4 sides).  Also, congratulations to Brocky’s Hoosiers for making the best coaching hire of the offseason, NC State alumnus Arch Miller.  He’s a good man, and a great coach.

#7E South Carolina v. #4E Florida (2:20, CBS)

Both these sides have been, like, scary good this entire tourney.  I have no freaking clue where this streak of excellence came from, but here we is.  Winner faces Gonzaga, so you will be pulling for them to make the final.  Watch it closely and shit.

#2S Kentucky v. #1S U*NC (5:05, CBS)

The stupid Holes look as unstoppable as the P*ts did, which given the way 2016-2017 has gone, I guess is to be expected.  CBS got the sploosh matchup they wanted, I will read and have it on mute in the background, just in case Coach Cal shits in the punch bowl and makes Hippo happy.

I’ve been rooting for South Carolina because the increased pressure of playing in the Final Four might cause him to go volcanic with rage.

Q: Why does Jay Cutler like N Carolina better than S Carolina?

A: It’s a trick question he doesn’t give a shit about either state.

theeWeeBabySeamus

It really has.
Amazing what effort and desire can accomplish.

Oh my god, the Cocks went limp on that trip down the floor.

Come on Cocks, don’t let me down!!!

I was within about ten feet of Ivanovic in La Costa a few years ago (our seats were so good our feet were literally on the court. Acually a little TOO good – it was hard to see what was happening on the other side of the net). She is very lanky.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Other side of the net?

Close enough to see the anti-chafing Band-Aids on her nipples?

I’m not watching basketball. Once my team is out and my bracket is busted, I protest watching the tournament because the NCAA is evil and it’s wrong that so many CORPORATIONS are profiting off the FREE LABOR of these young men!*

So I’m watching something on one of the weird antenna stations about the Gunnison River in CO. It looks neat.

*Why, yes, I am American.

South Carolina having more trouble with passes than my dad and his kidney stones

I presume that, like always, we’re all rooting for Cocks?

Things that piss me off #104: Saying “historical” when you mean “historic.” Also “an historic.”

God damn-I love Frank Martin’s continual battle against his own blood pressure so much!

So this morning my wife gave me a hard time about how I was handling the strawberries, saying “you’re bruising them.” I thought about shaking my fist at her and saying “I’ll bruise you…” but decided that she wouldn’t appreciate such a casual joke about domestic violence. But I thought this crowd might!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Wise on both counts, I’d say.

The couple that jokes about beating each other is the couple that stays together.

Because if one left there’d be hell to pay?

You should have said, “Fine! How about I give you a lesson on handling my nuts!”

Some dipshit brilliant sports writer, according to Verne: “[South Carolina] isn’t going to quit. They’re going to play the second half.”

Senor Weaselo

That’s somehow going to make the One Shining Moment video.

Today was my first visit back to the gym in….a long while. It was not pleasant.

Every time I watch a sporting event on CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox…I get exposed to what is currently popular in America in terms of media.

I’m hoping the failure of that garbage health care bill leads to these guys all stabbing each other like inmates.

The funny thing is, even if the GOP split into a Freedom Caucus party and a Moderate/Corporate party, the DNC leadership would still manage to lose the Presidency until ’32.

Question to ponder…
If my last name was “Notice” would I be a big enough jerk to name my kid “Final”…?

I’m pretty sure I read about that once on the Florida Man Twitter page.

Suddenly, a lot of things are clearer.

Have to say, I really like the way SCar plays this match up zone. I wish we could figure out how to do that.

Gee thanks.

It is also the Johnnies’ fault for Gonzaga being a thing, after all. WE’RE SORRY.

Wakezilla

Nah, it’s Canada’s fault. Once they started recruiting BC boys, they became sneaky good, like maple syrup in milkshakes

nomonkeyfun

At least Ewing can tell the players where the best strip clubs are and Mullin can show them where to score coke.
Those are important things to learn before going to the NBA.

So many things I want to say.

I have to remind myself that just because some guy I know put up 345 on the bench press doesn’t mean I have to try to match that on the leg press.

Go Ashley Judd’s team!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The last name “Judd” does not sound like a surname for slim people.

entropy

The name “Bertha Judd” just conjures some truly horrible images.

You’re welcome.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s interesting how close it is to the name “Hogg”.
