World Gawne Mad – Thursday First Round Afternoon Session

Inject it straight into mah veins!

#10(MW) Oklahoma (+2, +110) v. #7(MW) Rhode Island (12:15, CBS)

One team doesn’t belong, one team was looking maybe at a 3 seed before they went all fucktarded down the stretch.  The athleticism disparity on display will shock you, and it ain’t the major conference side who comes out on top…

#14(S) Wright State (+11, +550) v. #3(S) Tennessee (12:40, truTV)

Upset alert!  This will hardly be a game of horseshoes for the Vols, as a mini-late regular season swoon (similar to URI) has the Raiders under-seeded.  This is really like your typical 5/12 setup.

#13(W) UNC-Greensboro (+13, +650) v. #4(W) Gonzaga (1:30, TNT)

Spartan coach Wes Miller has no neck, and I will always remember him as the annoying push shot 3-point chucker from U*NC.  So…fuck ’em, even at tasty ML odds against a choker like the Zags.  Or maybe not, they DID whip NC State in December.  The school is also known as “UNC-Gay” for being the most LGBT-friendly campus in the system.  So, maybe I will plunk $25 on that ML after all.

#16(MW) Penn (+13.5, +750) v. #1(MW) Kansas (2:00, TBS) 

Is that Bill Self’s tighty whities shrinking, or is he just happy to see us?  Vegas must be getting some Team Oatmeal Farts love, as that ML is all the way down from +900.  Too bad I don’t see it.  Ah really want to believe…

#15(MW) Iona (+20.5, N/A) v. #2(MW) Duke (2:45, CBS)

Jim Valvano, “I own a college!”  No, I will never get tired of that joke.  Too bad I see no path to victory for the Gaels.  Maybe they can at least break Ted Cruz, Jr.’s leg?

#11(S) Loyola (Chi****) (+2, +111) v. #6(S) Miami (3:10, truTV)

Hey look, it’s the upset that you will get no fookin’ credit for.  Now I almost want to swim upstream and pick Da U.  But the Ramblers deserve this line, they pretty good, and could easily make the Sweet Sixteen.

#12(W) South Dakota State (+8, +320) v. #5(W) Ohio State (4:00, TNT)

This line is bouncing around like…a jackrabbit?  And yes, I will post the damned song again.  FUCK YOU, it’s great.  tOSU reverted to who we thought they were down the stretch.  SDSU played good ball all year, and the few times I watched them, they looked legit.

#9(MW) NC State (+3, +137) v. #8(MW) Seton Hall (4:30, TBS)

Perhaps the most compelling of the opening fixtures, two fairly fun to watch (albeit flawed) squadrons, and each could at least pester Kansas in Round 2.  Give ’em a look-see.  ACC/Big East matchups should happen with more frequency.

Holy shit. No way that miss doesn’t come back to bite URI in the ass later.

Spur

i do like the 1 and 1 Free Throw rule in CBB.

Horatio Cornblower

When my daughter started crawling around my wife and I used the tape Swiffers to her and let her get all the dust off the floor.

You earn your keep in my house.

litre_cola

Genius. Have hardwood floor and decilitre moves. could use as kneepads to not wear through pants as well!

Horatio Cornblower

DO IT!

You get clean floors and it’s hilarious.

Max Rothschild’s Daddy, was a scab during the 87 NFL strike. He is now the President of a Hedge Fund Consulting and Marketing Firm.

Penn center is causing Jayhawk issues. love it.

SonOfSpam

To be fair, His FT shooting is directly affected by the holes in his palms.

litre_cola

I was going to go with the door to the cave was blocked, but your is way better.

SonOfSpam

Can’t spell “blasphemous” without “u” and “me”

litre_cola

Come on Sooners, I got in at a great price. Road Island was not impressive this past weekend IMO. BUT I KNOW NOTHING. Hail Gamblor!

Horatio Cornblower

-Ahem-

It’s Rhode Island. I know, because I live right next door and their “roads” are shit. Seriously, there’s literally a state line in the form of a crater on Rt. 6.

litre_cola

I was just confused because there was no U’s in it.

Horatio Cornblower

Needs a III or a IV after it.

Hey…hey guys!!!!
‘Member when Trae Young used to be good?

SonOfSpam

Too much dancing at The Anvil last night.

Spur

Trae Young is balding

theeWeeBabySeamus

LOL. Very true.

Speaking of Team Oatmeal Farts….their cheer squad appears to eat well.

SonOfSpam

Ivy schools traditionally do provide quality eatings.

And yes, that could mean two things.

Penn, please win this.

SonOfSpam

I wanna hate McConaughey for doing those Carl’s Jr commercials, but knowing he spends all his money on weed makes it a little bit better.

Horatio Cornblower

They probably just cut out the middle-man and pay him in Carl’s, which he can eat when the munchies kick in.

SonOfSpam

Great point.

“What’re you offering?”
“How bout…anything you want at the drive-thru between the hours of midnight and two AM?”
“Alright alright alright.”

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh shit Hippo. Our ML is kinda tempting +135.

GODDAMN YOU GAMBLOR!!!!!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

FWIW, I think we win by double digits.

/refinances house, bets everything on Seton Hall

theeWeeBabySeamus

You can’t see it, but I’m giving you the finger right now.

SonOfSpam

Tough but fair.

It’s like I don’t even know you anymore.

Big worthless honky on Oklahoma keeping URI in the game.

UPDATE: Training conference call CANCELED, order restored to universe.

Horatio Cornblower

I’m guessing some higher-up suddenly noticed this on his scheduled while scrolling through his phone at the bar and immediately put the kibosh on it.

SonOfSpam

For ONCE, something goes right for white guys.

Horatio Cornblower

I refuse to give up my #whiteprivilege; it’s gotten me out of so many traffic tickets.

SonOfSpam

I’d like to think so, but I think it was just God being loving. (Lady organizing it sent apology e-mail admitting she hadn’t prepared all training stuff yet.)

Horatio Cornblower

That’s just what they want you to think.

Horatio Cornblower

Alicia Vikander in “That’s Not How Parachutes Work”, opening this Friday!

Beerguyrob

It appears to be how tight shirts work, though.

Spur

URI is getting buckets to drop.

SonOfSpam

That’s a terrific inclusive song.

SonOfSpam

Definitely on the list of bands I gotta get my ass out to see sometime.

SonOfSpam

Working at home is great, especially today and tomorrow. But someone (some WOMAN) scheduled a training conference call in a little while. I wish I had some solution for this…

/sees MUTE button on TV remote

That might just be crazy enough to work!

Horatio Cornblower

Just mute your phone. If you can’t get through a training seminar without uttering a sound you’re not trying.

SonOfSpam

Oh BELIEB me that will be attempted, but some idiot always wants feedback from everyone.

/unmutes phone

“Yeah, good point.”

/mutes phone, continues jackin to midget amputee porn

If you’re an Irish exchange student at Berkeley I bet St. Patrick’s Day is kind of frustrating because all you want to do is relax, hit the bars, and have a few beers but all anyone wants to do is talk about “busted brackets”.

SonOfSpam

Is…is that an Irish clock joke?

SonOfSpam

Aw crap, sorry. I am disappoint in myself.

yeah right

I got the first half of OK and RI in and now it’s off to work.

No problem, I’ll be home in about 9 hours.

Fuck.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Work sucks. I have no time to watch bball this afternoon, but I presume my bracket will be busted forthwith.

Horatio Cornblower

“We can change the language around rape”

OR, and hear me out here, we could, you know, NOT rape people.

Beerguyrob

The Rhode Island players doing the Temptations travelling signal brings a smile to my day.

SonOfSpam

Not shooting well at all and only down four. Hopefully they pick it up.

SonOfSpam

You have RI winning multiple games? Bold statement Cotton.

Horatio Cornblower

Is that the “4 Opiates & A Beer” bracket?

Horatio Cornblower

Oh shit, I might have that match up too.

That’s not good for you, buddy.

Spur

Hippo is going lose his thumbs to some bookie.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Good thing Hippo always keeps spare thumbs on him.

DIVE!

Horatio Cornblower

I never feel bad seeing a Hurley lose, even though Oklahoma should be defending home turf in the NIT this week.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Defending turf” is the primary job responsibility for the public relations manager at FedEx Field.

Horatio Cornblower

Defenestrating the turf is what anyone who plays on FedEx field would like to to do with it.

The trailer for a trailer movie marketing done for the big movies lost on me. Just release the trailer.

Wakezilla

Has any movie that has ever done that actually been good?

Wakezilla

That’s cool Loyola made it into the big dance. Them winning would mess up my bracket, but, their school was featured in a 30 for 30 documentary, so, win one for Hank!

Wakezilla

Seriously? There’s more than one university with the same, terrible name? Loyola sounds like a 3 year old blended the words Toyota and Corolla together.

SonOfSpam

Do you not Catholic bro?

Beerguyrob

I did when I was younger.

Go Fighting Jesuits

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m actually headed over to Loyola later on today. Also one time I had sex with a graduate of their law school!

SonOfSpam

Based on my limited knowledge of Loyola Law alums, I can only assume you rawdogged Gloria Allred. Congrats?

Spur

Get fucked Sooners!

Wakezilla

I’m sure them making it into the tournament had nothing to do with Tre Young being on the team. . .

Wakezilla

“Upset alert! ”

You shut your whore mouth about the Vols! Kyle Alexander is going to put the apple in the basket, baby.

I’ve got an intense case of “happy feet” here at work. Just a matter of time before I make a break for it.

Folks. Watching Captain Ron before the 1st game is a great way to start a morning.
