Oh yes, the real thing starts tonight, peoples of DFO. The Chase FOAR #1 begins with those much closer to #68 tonight. But it’s still funner ‘n’ hayull, if ya know whut I mean. Also, there are NIT matches one can flip to at commercials, and even bet on if you are some kind of really depraved degenerate. Cough.
#16(E) LIU-Brooklyn (+5.5, +200) v. Radford (6:40, truTV)
I hereby officially declare this the 2018 Nickname Bowl. Blackbirds v. Highlanders. Alas, you already see Radford’s cock-up – there can only be ONE. LIU-Brooklyn brings honor and glory to Da Zoo, and advances to the Nova Fodder round.

#11(E) St. Bonaventure (+3.5, +140) v. UCLA (9:10, truTV)
One can enthusiastically thank the Bruins for having the only, um, photogenic cheer/dance squad in this opening Day-Day session. That said, they had a pretty grueling run in the PAC-12 tourney, and face the most difficult travel of any of tonight’s participants. Advantage, Bonnies. I like the winner to make the Sweet Sixteen, FWIW. One thing to note – St. Bonaventure is absolutely brutal from the foul line, and can cough up a late lead like nobody’s business. This one ain’t over until the horse is all the way in the barn. UCLA could be worth one of those high-odds live “come from behind to win” bets. Just sayin’…
Good night.

Stop reading Twitter. It ain’t real.
This VW bus dragster is very real.
It gets wilder in his follow up tweets. https://twitter.com/JackSmithIV/status/973746291359535105
Thoughts and prayers.
Nothing to do with the post; I just enjoy watching these assholes get punched.
Especially when the avowed Nazi has a glass-jaw.
Some others I found were of nazis punching smaller women counter-protesters and being proud of it.
What TV reference just popped into my head:
Reading down the Twitter feed, there’s apparently an “Escape the Pogrom” in Brooklyn opening up, and seriously, what the fuck, people.
I only got a little ways and was completely disgusted and depressed.
I stopped after the part where he deleted their website and member rolls.
Welp. Hawking just died.
RIP you brilliant motherfucker.
Sciencedammit all to nothingness.
One of my favorite memories from when I was a kid was when my mom was the TA for an elderly physics professor at the local community college and he sent her and a +1 (me) in his stead to a reception before a guest lecture up in Salt Lake by Dr. Hawking. This was right after “A Brief History of Time” was published. It’s a true testament to how big of a nerd a 12-year-old Col. Duke LaCross was that it’s still one of the highlights of my life that I actually got to meet and kinda shake the hand of the smartest man on the planet.
Sail on spaceman. The world is now a little dumber with you gone.
Nerd in this case is a huge compliment. The anti-intellectual movement/ trend, what ever it is, is astounding to me. I’m glad you got to experience that at an age where it made that kind of impression. I had kind of a similar thing just watching Sagan on TV.
I don’t get it either. Being well read used to be something we all aspired to be. Now it’s almost shunned in greater society. I’m still a sucker for anything involving astronomy. I drive my boss nuts when I switch off the golf channel on the TV in the shop for NASA or the Science Channel.
With many of these frontier breakers what amazes me is the mental discipline, mathematical and observational genius combined with imagination. Science and history are to me some of best “entertainment”; NOVA on PBS is one of my favorite shows. I enjoy reading some of these books even when in my head I’m thinking “WAAAAAT is he/she talking about??”
Shit; just saw the Star Talk with him on it.
I can’t up-vote that; but thanks for the news nonetheless.
Big deal – the Mets sent Tebow down.
Artist’s conception; Tebow is of course the well mannered and handsome chimp.
Damnit…
What an incredible mind and a pronominal sense of humor.

How sad. I still read his book every year.
Fucking Tuesday.
Jeebus UCLA.
Welp, we’ll still always have this…
And now USC is going to lose in the NIT as a #1 seed.
I wonder what her major is.
It does not matter. She is passing.
She’ll still be $200k in debt.
Stop fucking around UCLA.
Evening all. We might’ve accidentally killed my Italian cousin with Senor-grade hot sauce. (But it wasn’t mine, it was my cousin’s!)
(Note: When we left he was not dead, but he drank a half-gallon of milk and was still in distress.)
95 votes now. Gonna be in court so long.
Trump is going to preemptively attack PA judges on twitter.
“Judge Reinhold was terrible in Beverly Hills Cop!”
Big bump for Lamb all of the sudden.
Absentee ballots from Allegheny County.
In the PA special election, Conor Lamb (D) leads Rick Saccone (R) by 755 total votes, with 98% in. There’s approximately 6000 absentee ballots to be counted.
I don’t know we’ll know the result of this tonight. However, even if Lamb loses, this district voted 2-1 for Trump, and Romney by 17%. The Congressman who held this seat resigned after it came out he wanted his mistress to get an abortion. Shockingly, that guy was very vocal about how Christian and pro-life he was!
Anyway, the Republicans have run unopposed in this district for a decade. It being this close should terrify the GOP.

As we’ve seen, polling doesn’t mean jack. Trust me, everyone here knew this was going to be a very close race.
Indeed, but it’s fun watching both sides striking up the moral victory band simultaneously.
There is nothing moral about the US House.
Nor victorious (except for the rich)
Every single credible poll was within the margin of error.
It’s amazing that these house dopes think they can sell “I was trump before Trump!” If I were to sell my soul and run as one of them, I’d say I’d vote for the tax bill, probably not mention the repeat assault trump is going to take on health care if he holds a majority in ‘19, and then tell some lies that appeal to locals. That’s it. Then I’d just Paul Ryan questions about Trump.
But since our politicians are the stupidest of those amongst us….
The pedophile judge put on a hat and pretended to be a cowboy for a month and IT WAS ALMOST ENOUGH. It feels like both sides make this entirely harder than it ever has to be.
Nice layup, dickhead.
My cat is an asshole.
That is all.
Cats are cool. But they can be assholes too
She gets affectionate. Then her mind changes and she swats me.
Just like all wimminz.
So I smacked her in the head and closed the door so she couldn’t avoid it.
The correct upset pick for the NIT would have been Rider, it seems.
JR has his own university? I kind of thought that he was a knucklehead.
Horrible call. That was an offensive foul.
UCLA getting screwed.
The Bruins are raining shame and disgrace all over the reputation of the Pac 12.
More like the conference of chumps.
NIT is underrated fun. Love the true road games and the idea that mid-majors can actually win and go on runs here.
John Wooden obvs didn’t teach these guys how to put on their socks and tie their shoes.
John Wooden taught them how to suck dick.
Back in from shoveling. Here’s a live look at parking on my street for the next week:

As previously mentioned, it’s the choices you don’t make which come back to haunt you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4pi1LxuDHc&t=177s
Hoo. I’ve got some choices that would like a word.
Make ’em. And don’t look back.
Trust me on this.
So… UCLA has no offense, huh?
I find them very offensive, actually.
Bonnies WOO!!!
And think Demmycrat will win by between 0.5 and 1 point. Huzzah.
At the same time, if you’re going to be an iconoclast, you better be willing to eat shit for your principles. That disqualifies 99% of people.
I think its hilarious that people actually think a hockey player can stand up to Putin.
Much more powerful people have been sent to die in places like Black Dolphin prison than Datsyuk.
Indeed.
Twitter seems to be imploding according to #pa18.
Its close enough that no one will be happy in Penns-tucky…
It’ll be awesome when the Dems lose by 3-4 points and go on about what a big victory it still is.
1k votes difference with 95% in is shocking for what’s basically Kentucky, but also fuck the “moral victory” shit. If the blue wave doesn’t wash the states in blue, gonna be super pissed.
the maths looks like a win to me
Allegheny gonna carry it home
The Dems will despite their best efforts to fuck up (by say, referring to people at proportion of the GDP) will probably retake the house, albeit with a slim margin.
Of course, they’re going to run people like Lamb who won’t budge on gun control and “personally” oppose abortion. Then they’ll vote like Doug Jones does and we’ll be lectured about how they need to do that to win reelection and in 2022 they’ll all lose anyway.
This game blows
you shoulda watched the first one, lowered your expectations
