World Gawne Mad – Thursday Evening Opening Round Session

Hopefully, you were able to stick it to the man and enjoy the first eight matches.  Regardless, here are eight more for your gluttonous consumption.

#16(E) Radford (+22.5, N/A) v. #1(E) Villanova (6:50, TNT)

The Highlanders outlasted my Blackbirds on Tuesday night, but that and $3 will get you a cup of coffee.  Nova won’t so much as let them hang around awhile.

#12(S) Davidson (+4.5, +175) v. #5(S) Kentucky (7:10, CBS)

This line keeps closing, and I don’t get it.  Davidson has some hoodoo against Rhode Island, but I don’t see that translating to Kenfucky, who are legitimately in the zone, and red hot.  Look for the better Wildcats’ defense to shut down the lesser Wildcats’ perimeter offense.

#11 San Diego State (+4.5, +175) v. #6 Houston (7:20, TBS)

Speaking of hot…both of these teams.  I could see Houston going on a super-long run, but this matchup is dangerous as fuck.  Should make for excellent viewing.

#14(E) Steven F. Austin (+11, +500) v. #3(E) Texas Tech (7:27, truTV)

Ordinarily, taking down a 3 seed would be asking a lot of just one guy, but Guns Up!! are quite overrated.  Could definitely see this one going down to the wire.

#9(E) Alabama (+2.5, +125) v. #8(E) Virginia Tech (9:20, TNT)

Another very watchable game, though I suspect Roll Damn Tide may have shot their damn wad in the SEC tourney.  Their PG is a legitimate star in the making (unlike Trae Young).  VPI just annoys the fuck out of you until you find you’ve somehow lost by five or so.

#13(S) Buffalo (+8, +320) v. #4(S) Arizona (9:40, CBS)

What does Vegas know that is keeping this line in check like this?  Shouldn’t Fat Sean’s NBA bunch run train on a MAC-tion side?  I’m just confused here.

#14(W) Montana (+10, +475) v. #3(W) Michigan (9:50, TBS)

Michigan is white-hot, or rather, they were before taking like a month off since the B1G tourney ended.  We shall see if that has an impact.  I know fuck-all about the Griz.

#11(E) St. Bonaventure (+6, +225) v. #6(E) Florida (9:57, truTV)

We remember the Bonnies from Tuesday night’s comeback win against UCLA, and they get plenty of rest in prep for Thursday’s nightcap.  The betting line is highly favourable, especially if one thinks the Gators kinda suck (as I do).

Coaches should just have to surrender to the FBI in postgame pressers as they are eliminated from this year’s tourney.

Unsurprised

I would prefer a more Aztec method where they have to cut their own hearts out.

I absolutely demand the team captains as well for pro sports, especially football.

Okem Dokem…time to go drink some vodka and then finish writing tomorrow’s Goddess II so everyone has something to ignore in the morning.

I won’t not ignore it.

Yes you won’t!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, whut?

Sir, I will be at work until 11 am, I will need something to read.

Brick Meathook

I like to print it out and set my drink on it.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I will ignore after I am finished jackin’ to it.

There are some crezzy names on both the Gators and Bonnies.

So you are like those baseball guys who bring score books with them to the game?

Horatio Cornblower

Hippo’d have to leave the house to go to the game, so there’s your flaw right there.

litre_cola

My theory is that nobody disturbs the score taker guys so he would be fine.

Horatio Cornblower

That’s mighty fine corollaryin’ right there.

Oh Wildcats are heating up, this is good.

Glenlivet 18 is good, you guys.

I am a fan of good whiskey. As I age (and drink less) I’m more like, I bet I can live with a single bottle a year — might as well just spend a hundred bucks on it.

My wife’s uncle drinks Johnny walker black and, sorry, that stuff is overpriced and not very good (to my unsophisticated palet).

Horatio Cornblower

I’m almost done with this bottle but probably have had it for 15 months. I rarely drink the hard stuff.

Hey-O!

Een vat Budlamp wordt elke zes seconden vervangen: A totally truer, translated statement from AB-InBev.

Brick Meathook

And two 737s takeoff or land every five seconds. Coincidence? No, there is a proven corollary between the two, known as the “737 takeoff or landing / Bud Lite keg tapping Axiom” developed in the Advanced Mathematics Department at Carnegie Mellon University in a study funded by a consortium led by U.S. Steel and Heinz Co.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’d settle foar a modified 737-200, btw.
😉

theeWeeBabySeamus

They really have become a solid squad. It’s very disorienting to watch.
I’m even expecting Buzz Williams to possibly grow a neck any second.

Gonna have to narrow that down son, there’s two of ’em there.

Horatio Cornblower

Did Buffalo pay Sean Miller $100,000 to tank tonight’s game? Seems like it would’ve been worth at least a try.

blaxabbath

They’ll win. It’s just gonna be because they got talent. Won’t be pretty.

Dick E. Phuck

I just want to watch Bobby Hurley lose. Is that too much to ask?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Better go back to last night then. Otherwise you gotta wait a while.

Dick E. Phuck

He doesn’t coach Buffalo anymore? Oh shit, my brain.

litre_cola

Cheering for Alabama hoops is different than football right?

theeWeeBabySeamus

There’s a lotta chicks in Tuscaloosa who would disagree.

I have no strong public opinion about this gif one way or another and totally will not be watching it all night.

That game was great.

litre_cola

This whole day has had some fantastic games, been a real pleasure, except for Oklahoma, fuck those guys.

Dick E. Phuck

I like them, but I have Michigan going to the final four in my bracket. Michigan is in their region.

Col. Duke LaCross

Damn, I thought that was going in!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

THAT’S WHAT SHEEEEEEE SAID.

blaxabbath

We got Boise DFOers?

Dick E. Phuck

Holy shit, this Houston-San Diego game kicks ass.

uhhh…ua’s AssistNt coach wasn’t let go as much as he was arrested by the FBI.

Aw, crap. Sorry Aztec fans. I know there’s a few here.

Just checked in on the DFO Brackets Challenge.

I’m a lot dumber than I thought. And that’s saying something.

You guys don’t mind if I just delete the whole group, right?

That seems drastic…like a Final Solution, one might say.

Meme missed out on that opportunity.

Hehehehehehehehe. Can’t stop laughing at this.

Also I’m a little sleep deprived, so maybe that explains it?

But that’s funny as fuck.

SonOfSpam

Devodog is a good dog.

SonOfSpam

Did that last 3 maybe get some Davidson bettors a push?

Dick E. Phuck

At the very least it did show the bettors a lot of grit and determination.

blaxabbath

Vanessa is divorcing Don Jr as a ploy for them to hide assets. Thoughts?

SonOfSpam

That’s basically any Trump’s modus operandi. He’s genuinely shocked and pissed that anyone would dare interrupt his grift.

SonOfSpam

It’s all gonna be delicious. Meanwhile, the Breitbart crowd still thinks Obummer and Killary are gonna be arrested any day now.

LemonJello

Being stuck in the 1820s will do that to people…

blaxabbath

I appreciate a good conspiracy but how fucking absolutely fucking retarded and void of any sense of analytical thinking that you think Hillary/Obama/MCCAIN are going to be cuffed anytime soon?

blaxabbath

Well yeah….this.

And it was DJT’s idea.

SonOfSpam

Yeah, if asset forfeiture is part of any penalty (and it will be), Mueller’s gonna vacuum up every last ruble.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

She wouldna done it if didn’t have a deal in place.

Dick E. Phuck

She probably had to sign a prenup prior to marrying him, so probably not.

Ex Mrs. Trump Jr looks like she had the tanning booth set to “Broil.”

They both look like they smell a rancid fart and think the other one is to blame.

Extra crispy.

No, he’s one of the president’s retarded sons.

I didn’t have a boner, but this pic would have kilt it.

They want those victory escorts that coach Cal promised them.

Too bad. I’d have much rather faced the white players.

Go TEAM BIONIC!

I look at this all white Davidson squad looking to upset some young black men and wonder why this game isn’t a Fox News Alert.

Dick E. Phuck

They were about to, but then this really exciting car chase came up on their news feed that they just couldn’t resist.

blaxabbath

This is some scary shooting but I’d like Arizona and Ayton against UK. Ayton/Ristic can put in 35 against that front court.

blaxabbath

Bad giveaway.

blaxabbath

Living somewhere with generally casual dress, it’s funny to see basketball coaches being like the only guys in town who need to wear suits (sorry but fuck attorneys NAWT serving as a US Special Council or porn star lawyer).

JustStopDude

I don’t have a problem with it. Now baseball managers wearing the fucking uniform like its the 1940’s and Dusty Baker is going in to cover short spot in the 7th…that is moronic to me.

blaxabbath

Oh I like that about baseball. Like, what would be the proper outfit to sit in the dirt? I don’t want to see some dude in slacks and a team polo,

LemonJello

Have the manager dress as the mascot.

Dick E. Phuck

Football coaches dressing like Phys ed teachers is also fucking stupid to me.

blaxabbath

I feel like they should be in suits.

Dick E. Phuck

I concur.

litre_cola

Arizona by 9. Thoughts?

JustStopDude

It burns when I pee…

litre_cola

Well you can carry in AZ so it could happen. I love seeing the retirees up there on Harley’s with a sidearm. What could go wrong with an 80 year old on a powerful machine carrying a weapon?

Dick E. Phuck

Speaking about retirees in Arizona, thoughts on Sam Bradford to the Cards?

litre_cola

Makes sense to me. Sheriff Joe would NAWT be happy if they signed Kaep.

JustStopDude

Roanoke, there is a mini scandal about conceal carry…

https://www.wsls.com/news/virginia/roanoke/former-roanoke-social-services-employee-claims-she-was-fired-for-having-concealed-carry-permit

She claims she was fired from the local social security office because she had a permit. The story took off.

In reality, she had been instructed numerous times about “performance concerns, attendance, dress code issues and unprofessional behavior”. After a year or so, she got shitcanned.

blaxabbath

Give the points. This team hits free throws.
