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’…
I need to go out. I volunteered this morning and took a nap this afternoon. I haven’t done jack shit all day except eat somehow.
They should adapt the four quarters format in all of college basketball. Feels like the game moves quicker.
And no bonus until the 4th quarter
The Bruins should be ashamed. This Bonnie zone is soft and they should be shredding it.
Holy shit.
Goddamn. They are doubling down with the fucking Fabulous Moolah honoring thing like the entire Internet doesn’t realize that she was a piece of shit who used her school as a way to pimp out young talent, and in some cases, set them up to be raped, all so she could keep her spot at the top of the show.
Moolah ran the Sparrow School?
If only she had that sort of integrity

I did a massive job for Severstal. They had a steel mill, brand fucking new, in Mississippi.
When Putin did his crazy shit in the Crimea, the company had to pull out of the US immediately. SDI got it for $1.625 billion in cash. That may sound like a lot…but not really.
It increased SDI’s capacity by almost 50% and it had some the most advanced and latest technology. This was the crown jewel of Severstal. The plant covers more than one million square feet and features state-of-the-art steel manufacturing capabilities – two electric arc furnaces (EAFs), two ladle metallurgy furnaces, two vacuum degassers, two thin slab casters, a hot strip mill, pickle lines, an annealing line, temper mill, two hot-dipped galvanizing lines and a rewind/inspection line.
Imagine if Ford had its biggest, most profitable facility in China, and Trump effectively made him sell it for pennies on the dollar.
Sweet.
Strange, these co-11s seem MOAR cromulent than them co-16s
Marginally.
THIS GUY RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY LOOKING AT THE WESTMORELAND RETURNS I CALL HIM MELANIA TRUMP ON HER WEDDING NIGHT CAUSE CAN WE JUST GET THIS OVER WITH PLEASE?
For the record: Westmoreland and Greene Counties are utter shit. Pennsyltucky at its worst.
I don’t consider these play-in games the first round.
“Round of 64” go fuck yourself.
This guy gets it.
I think this year or next, that officially changes. Th/Fr is officially “first round” again.
Same here. Until a 16 beats a 1 there is no justifiable reason to make the field larger than 64.
Penn is pretty good for a 16 seed, so if it’s going to happen it may be them this year.
But, 16 seeds are almost always shitty teams ranked in the lower third of the 351 teams. You’ll never see it happen unless the committee severely underestimates one of these random auto bid teams.
FIGHT ON!
358 dot com gave them a 5% chance to win; easily the best of the 16s.
For Informational Purposes Only:
Rednecks don’t seem to like when you tell them…and I quote…
SHUT YOUR FUCKING DOG UP YOU ASSHOLE!!!!!
Having said that, the dog is no longer barking.
I know I am going to piss people off when I say this…but I generally detest the majority of dog owners.
The shear amount of dog shit I pick up in my yard feed my seething hate.
You won’t piss me off.
Irresponsible dog owners are the bane of society.
Just don’t let “ron mexico” adopt from a kill shelter
Cause they shot it
Nah. Sad part is it’s not the dog’s fault.
But I’m getting pretty fucking tired of getting barked at every time I go outside.
I managed to make a shitty “lap dance” scene into a couple of decent gifs for the love of the game. I don’t like seeing people just slap videos into these HTML5 videos (.webm, .mp4, .gifv, etc.) without bothering to edit them. I guess I’m just an artist.

Anybody got one of them there Varidesks?
I’m considering one, just curious if they’re as easy to install as they claim, I guess.

A bunch of coworkers got a version of these stand-up/adjustable desks – they came pretty much fully assembled just had to mount the monitors and adjust them to the individual’s preference.
I’m not in this PA district, but, I’ve still been exposed to incessant ads for months now. It’s finally fucking over.
Driving through Ohio in June 2016 really opened my eyes to the sheer insanity of battleground states. Why do they not simply revolt and eat the candidates?
Americans’s spirits have been broken.
closer than I had hoped, but think Demmycrat still pulls it out
Honestly just make the tournament 128 teams already.
I will accept a tournament with NO FEWER than 1,024 teams.
Caroline Vreeland is a nice girl.
She’s not using those boots correctly.
Tits on the asphalt seem… uncomfortable.
So this is kind of pathetic but instead of watching basketball I’m watching the PA-18 returns come in.
Ice Titans and Ice Bombers has turned in to a brawl.

What the fuck
I suspect that the dude was trying to ride the bike off the ramp and then deploy a parachute, but the drop is not large enough so the chute never opened.
Not enough red bull….
Good old Dayton Ohio…
Its the perfect cliche Ohio city. Completely rotted out because of the lack of jobs caused because of white flight to the suburbs. A couple of city blocks now have hipsters, coffee bars, and super expensive condos so everything is fixed…just ignore the 23% poverty rate…because well everyone does.
But they do have Bockscar there
That’s a glowing endorsement.
Who wants to live in Dayton?
Alright, I’m going to the store.
Radford looks like they’ll pull in the win and get the dough for the Women’s Soccer team.
Title IX, you rock.
Time for beddy-bye. I love you rat bastards quite a bit.
Got him hard….hehehehhe.
Later, Tater!
That 90 seconds of Blackbird competence was nice whilst it lasted.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON.
Moar Duke defensivings.
(that’s a foul on NC State, btw)
this-day-in-baseball:
March 23, 1915
“Help me, Lads, I’m covered with my own blood!” – Wilbert Robinson’s reaction before quickly realizing the fluid dripping down from his chest is grapefruit juice.
Dodger manager Wilbert Robinson, thinking he is going to catch a baseball dropped from a plane, is surprised and splattered when the sphere turns out to be a grapefruit. Although legend has it that Casey Stengel is behind the prank, the pilot, Ruth Law, a pioneer in American aviation, substituted part of her lunch when she realized she forgot to bring a baseball.
This is some truly horrific basketball. And the REALLY bad 16-seed play-in is supposed to be tomorrow’s. TX Southern lost its first 13 games of the season…
I may have a grand total of 7 chest hairs.
Yet I have the hands of a gorilla. DNA, every bit as cruel as God.
At least you have the penis of a new born Dachshund.
#SmallBlessings
It really is awful.
And I’m sitting here watching, delaying a quick trip to the store for this????
I’m pitiful.
Mom? Is that you?
my kid at work wants me to go to Target. Je refuse. For this merde. I may go between games, depending on how mad GAMBLOR has made me.
#FatherOfTheYear
WTF? Your kid wants to go to Target? Slap her.
Ok, not really. Like srsly, don’t slap her. But why Target???
That’s the best place to buy certain staple goods.
She’s a teenager. She shouldn’t be worried about that shit.
We just had a write-up about Staples Center.

Aw crap.
So sad to see the Lone Ranger fall off the wagon after Tonto left him to join the Village People.
Is it sad that I recognized him immediately?
I guess not.

[trying to stay up late to catch the Cuse play-in game]
[just realized the game is tomorrow night]
Just try to catch up to my level of stupid, losers!
Two words: Strategic. Naptime!
I heartily endorse this.
Oh, you’re far too stupid for us to catch up.
/I keed, I keed
oh, and you could actually READ my lovingly crafted posts. Even notice that I posted a UCLA cheerleader??
(yay for ucla cheerleaders)
((carry on))
I’m guilty of skimming your posts and thinking that UCLA cheerleaders are small-breasted, blonde clones of one another. Give me a thick-thighed, quality birthing-hipped 19 year-old West Virginny supporter. I’d knock that girlie up and leave her to raise that autistic kid 8 days a week!
Small breasted blonde clones….?
Found a funny:
Donny from Queens your on the radio. What you got to say?
“We should have a new force called the Space Force. It’s like the Army and the Navy, but for space, because we’re spending a lot of money on space.”
Makes sense.
You had me at “Donny from Queens”.
Out of the whole world, why the hell does he have to be from Queens?
I love how the workers come into my apartment just long enough to make shit weird and then leave.
Next time, ask for a blowjob.
They won’t come back.
Well, they probably won’t come back.
But if they do, it’ll be an interesting night.
If you ever get audited, a shit ton of scotch, some pasta salad and leftover chicken wings really take the edge off.
How would I afford that?
hooking!
Send IRS teh bill?
It’s painfully obvious that you’ve never lived in a dumpster.
and he’s apparently reticent to sell a little ass. Such a snob ,, smh
This ass may be a lot of things, but it ain’t little.
paying clients like teh badonkadonk!
Duke ruined basketball, part 200 – the tendency of officials to favour charges if there is ANY scintilla of doubt, taking away both the art of driving the lane and that of playing real, active defense.
You talking flop???? Because I’ll talk flop!!!!
This tickles me.
Radford plays today, but when does Tubularford play?
I said Tubularford not Tunsilford
Wanna see a Hippo head explode?
Go to to about the 6 minute mark…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghJRQoTv4to
For those who don’t remember, that official later admitted he blew that call badly and cost us that game.
Kill all refs.
down to 7 in Koresh land!
Line against the Bonnies down to +2, +125 ML. Glad I got in at +140 right after my Sevilla moneys came in.
Northern KY beating Louisville, didn’t bet that because line moved against me and I was mad.
C’mon, Wagner! Be CLOSERS.
Balliest three I’ve ever seen taken-head over to about 1:20 in.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzUFz-58PPA
I remember that live. Totes needed it.
I couldn’t believe it. It was the classic “WTF? OMG!”
She’s no Allie LaForce, but that curly haired sort of black girl is kinda cute.
Man, if that dumb shit had just pulled up and hit a three, Hippo makes $450.
Just a guess, neither of these teams are beating Nova on Thursday.
Hopefully Hippo is listening.
fecking relax, the line will be too big to even offer a ML option.
Hee hee.
yeah, they belong in this here play-in fixture
I got $55 in on LIU-Brooklyn at +825 (to win the half), and it would be nice if they quit playing like spastics on cocaine.
Let’s not be too hasty.
/cool basketball story bro continued
I was bartending in a very large dining room that had one tv on that was playing this game. The tension was building and it soon became unbearable. When Laettner hit the shot I screamed out, “Oh My Fucking God!” to all the folks eating their dinners. The upstairs bartender (a fellow hard-core hoops fan) ran behind the bar and tackled me. It was such an unbelievable ending to an extraordinary game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo3G2MfOYeA
I punched a dorm room ceiling and cut the ever-loving shit out of (fortunately, my left) hand.
You were cheering for Kentucky?
Against Laettner.
As was I.
of fucking course. Twas LAETTNER-era Duke. The WORST of the Duke.
also the game that cocksucker stomped on somebody’s chest, managed not to get a T, or even get suspended later.
How anyone outside Kentucky can cheer for Kentucky boggles my mind.
Kenfucky has always been neutral to me, until they got Calipari. Now I kinda like ’em.
This may have been the first time you came across a certain Steph Curry.

Any post with an Early Cuyler reference is always a good thing.
Semi-related…I’m still waiting on my gambling moneycheck to arrive.
same, they probably smuggle them over with a boatload of Latvian courtesans.
Elian Gonzalez has a new jorb?
I don’t understand why the LIU Brooklyn campus is the one with the D-I school while the big campus on the Nassau side is the D-II school, but hey, what do I know?
hipster allure for recruiting?
Because you can get Juniors in Brooklyn.
hmmmm, perhaps Blackbird Pie is on teh menu?
I liked Wagner +900 at BayBay (they may not be up for NIT fun and games), but tis down to +750. You can get FGCU +500 at BDSM State (they suck except v. KS), and SE Louisiana +900 at St. Mary’s (who have beaten nobody all year, save one off night by Gonzaga).
Some NIT longshot always comes good first round. Sometimes more than one.
