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.

Penn and JackRabbits are going to put the fear in Kansas and Buckeye Retards

WTG Zags. You’re right on schedule for your 2nd round loss.

Spur

UNCG imploded in real time.

litre_cola

I laid 50 on Gonzaga when they were down 2. Recoup my Boomer Sooner money…

litre_cola

Now need Loyola Chicago huge please.

Senor Weaselo

What the fuck shot was that, UNCG?

Senor Weaselo

That’s what I thought, but yeah.

WCS

Penn only down six…

Hanging around, hanging around…

theeWeeBabySeamus

Spartans gon’ shit deyselves now.
Sorry.

litre_cola

Zags won’t lose first round because THEY ARE A MAJOR PROGRAM! Or so my Spokane affiliated television stations tell me..

Croooow

Are the rumors of a move to the Mountain West true? They should do it. WCC is a joke.

litre_cola

I have seen that but they like being top dawg in their conference.

Croooow
litre_cola

The media seems to like kicking the shit out of lesser competition.

WCS

UNC-G has the lead with 99 seconds left.

Another Gonzaga wet fart would be a nice way to start this Tournament.

Senor Weaselo

I’m not against Charles Barkley pulling a Snoop and narrating a nature documentary.

Don T

I did a bracket but, somehow, fell outside the DFO Group. Per my picks, more Jesuits come out on top than in a NAMBLA mixer at the sacristy.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oklahoma you bunch of assdicks.
I’ll never trust you again (Nor your twin sibling assholes Okie State, good goddamned thing they got snubbed…fuckers)

Beerguyrob

I haven’t trusted OK State since Bryant Reeves helped kill the Vancouver Grizzlies.

SonOfSpam

Damn, just saw that collapsed bridge in Miami. Assume it was fatties, but nothing confirmed.

litre_cola

Think of the bath salt aficionados underneath.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I was nowhere near there.
And stop calling me that.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh yikes, just saw. Some folks dead.
My apologies for the jocularity.

SonOfSpam

No apologies necessary. Remember where you are.

litre_cola

Funkytown, Flavour County, Superland

LemonJello

Planet Erf?

Spur

Let’s Go Chicago Catholics!

litre_cola

I too would enjoy the religious of Chicago to win.

SonOfSpam

Bank is shown as “Bank of Super Land” and written in crayon.

litre_cola

Capital is Funkytown if I am not mistaken.

SonOfSpam

Yes, moved from Bitchinville a few years back.

litre_cola

It is in Flavour county if memory serves me correct.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Must be nice.
I’m still Gamblor Poor.

Did resist betting our game tho.
So far.

SonOfSpam

2 people (out of 44) in my pool took Wright State. They were wrong.

WCS

Something like 40% of the students I’ve had at the JUCO I adjunct at end up going to Wright State.

SonOfSpam

LOSERS!!!

Or maybe Wright State is a fine school, whatever.

Senor Weaselo

Hooray, we can still win Warren Buffett’s money! Wait, he doesn’t do that anymore? Fuck!

Horatio Cornblower

My bracket is perfect to this point, probably tying my personal best.

Now to confidently wander off to the gym, secure in the knowledge that nothing can possibly go wrong for me for the rest of the tournament.

Beerguyrob

I don’t know if Donald Trump would really run into an armed shooter situation, but he’s going to have things to say about running onto the floor to help Penn’s shooting.

Beerguyrob

Luckily, I didn’t have OK going past the second round.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Me neither, but I hate being wrong.

Which is kind of ironic since I am wrong so often. About just about everything.
You’d think I’d have gotten used to it by now.

Croooow

First win! Thank you, Rhody.

Spur

Fuck off Sooners. and take Boomer Sooner with you.

Horatio Cornblower

Looks like the Sooners are gonna be goin’ home sooner than later, eh? Eh? Eh?
/pokes you in the ribs while repeating “eh” until the end of the next game

WCS

Go back to your locker.

Horatio Cornblower

Oh, I never left.

SonOfSpam

OH I GET IT. No wonder all the girls wanna get with you.

litre_cola

That was a ballsy 3.

WCS

Bye bye, Okie.

WCS

If Penn knocks off Kansas (they won’t), how long till Trump takes credit?

litre_cola

HEY KRUGER! WHEN THE GUY WITH THE LOWEST FT % GETS THE BALL, FOUL HIM IT IS FUCKING 1 AND 1!!!

Beerguyrob

Is is racist to observe how Penn has more white players than Kansas?

Croooow

I’d be fine with Penn beating Kansas. Can’t stand the Jayhawks and their smug fans.

Spur

how many Overtime periods are allowed? Don’t these students need to get back to class?

Horatio Cornblower

Two. Then, inspired by World Cup soccer, they just shoot free throws until someone misses.

litre_cola

Attendance is taken for Paint Drying 101.

SonOfSpam

LOL “students” “class”

Horatio Cornblower

“periods”
/giggles for five minutes

litre_cola

They are fucking this game away. Lon Kruger couldn’t organize his offense against a high school team.

SonOfSpam

Best part of March Madness…not even one game has ended, and THE COMMENTISTS ARE PISSED.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m not pissed….YOU’RE PISSED.

theeWeeBabySeamus

But dang, I do need to take a piss.

SonOfSpam

Do you not keep empty Gatorade bottles by the TV?

WCS

Horatio Cornblower

This strategy of both teams just launching 35′ bombs seems questionable at best.

litre_cola

Ridiculous.

litre_cola

Hey! Okies, set a fucking offense, do just jack it from wherever!

Horatio Cornblower

It’s like they’re playing in San Diego!

Beerguyrob

Is it too early to start screaming about fucked brackets?

Beerguyrob

Good.

Horatio Cornblower

First NCAA tournament for you, is it?

SonOfSpam

Comment has not aged well.

Croooow

I don’t get fouling with that much time left.

Spur

Damn, URI had that bunny
