Basketball Fatigue (But Still ELITE) Open Thread

King Hippo

/

, , ,

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.

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.

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.

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

2
King Hippo

also, unless you pronounce it “istoric” it’s “a historic occasion” NOT “an historic occasion.”

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!

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.

Speaking of Big East fuckups, I heard tell that Georgetown is thinking of matching St. John’s random Chris Mullin hire by bringing in Patrick Ewing!!

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.
