Welcome to all you new Buffalo Bulls fans! What will today bring us (please, Marshall upset)?
#10(W) Providence (+3, +140) v. #7(W) Texas A&M (12:15, CBS)
Ah yes, the team that broke Hippo’s heart/bank account against the team nobody gives a flying fuck about. Naturally, the Aggies will win, depriving us of a team capable of beating the Holes in Round 2 (because God hates me).
#15(E) Cal-State Fullerton (+20, N/A) v. #2(E) Purdue (12:40, truTV)
They may not be long for the tourney, but holy shit let us take time to appreciate the CS-Fullerton dance squad whilst they is here, shall we? Mein Gott!
#13(E) Marshall (+12.5, +650) v. #4(E) Wichita State (1:30, TNT)
Hippo’s Last Stand upset bet is here, and the ML has raced out to +650 (I got in at +600). Heck, I think this game is close to even odds, so long as there ain’t a plane crash nobody told me about. Aside from Scary Wheat’s ball handling, that is.
#15(S) Georgia State (+14, +1030) v. #2(S) Cincinnati (2:00, TBS)
The fact that my Sportsbook left this ML online after it went over triple digits let’s you know how likely it is to cash. Bearcats roll, as they shall to the Elite Eight, minimum.
#15(W) Lipscomb (+20, N/A) v. #2(S) U*NC (2:45, CBS)
No fookin’ comment.
#10(E) Butler v. #7(E) Arkansas (+1.5, +110) (3:10, truTV)
Finally, we get an acknowledged seeding mistake! The 10 seed a clear favourite, per Vegas and my own bracket pickenings. Both of these teams are inconsistent as hell, but give me Big East over SEC any day.
#12(E) Murray State (+10, +450) v. #5(E) West By God Virginia (4:00, TNT)
WCS self-reported upset alert! Hey, it’s The King of Track Suits. You know you won’t be bored.
#10(S) Texas v. #7(S) Nevada (+1.5, +107) (4:30, TBS)
I disagree with the line movement here – Texas sucks ass. Though Nevada ain’t much to write home about neither. Kind of a meh matchup to close on, but whatcha gonna do?

I think I may need to hand in my share in DFO, I picked against the Shockers in my bracket.
Hehehehe, I gotta give Fullerton credit. Foar being down 30+ with less than four to play, they’re still hustling.
I’m impressed.
HEY!!!!!! THEY CUT IT TO 27!!!!!!!!
Georgia State giving Cincy some lip.
Sonic Lesbian Couple type lip, orrrrr…..
Never mind.
But seriously, Sonic Lesbian Couple is a good name for a band. Particularly if it’s like, one dude, like Say Hi To Your Mom or Casiotone for the Painfully Alone.
split trademark rights 50/50?
Do you think Andy Reid would have any good tips about how to reheat a fast food burger, or do you think that’s a situation he’s never found himself in?
I’m trying wrapped in foil at 350 for ten minutes. We shall see.
Microwave foar 30-45 secs, then crisp in convection oven for about 2 minutes.

“How do I keep these assets from being seized by the feds?”
But seriously, one of the first things Mueller did to get leverage in the Enron prosecution was go after the wives. That dude don’t play.
How in the holy fuck of everything that’s sacred is there still 8+ minutes in this Fullerton/Purdue game?
I’m in hell. I’ve died sometime this morning, and now this is hell.
Getting hungry. Delivery sushi seems safe.
You city folks and your multiple “options”. smgdh
fewer upsets because the little guy can’t get a fair shake

Every time Marshall gets the ball…phantom whistle in Wichita’s favour
oh, the fuckery redux
That’s gotta be flagrant 1. Gotta be.
Sorry Providence.
oh, the fuckery
Is it just me, or are all teh officials really going overboard on the teh charging calls.?
everyone wants to be TV Teddy
So is the Stormy Daniels interview already taped, or are they doing it live?
I thought it was already taped and there needed to be some fact-checking?
done with schoolwork. Basketball ALL DAY YALLLLL!!!!!!

it all began because bustin made me feel good. but now i’m bustin to feel normal. bustin to feel anything at all.
and their redneck coach, a blazer over what appears to be an airbrush T-shirt!
Elmore is a cornpone Magic Johnson out there!
But without teh AIDS.
Damn those AIDS
when picking Providence, I should have remembered “U*NC always lucks out” as the overriding factor.

As much as I enjoyed the original Pacific Rim, the new one looks shit.
all new movies make me grateful to be a recluse
Like I seriously need to stop switching over to the Fullerton/Purdue game.
My retinas are burning watching this shitfest.
I need to play Yakkety Sax. That would at least make it funny.

This Elmore kid is the shit.

I wore green for you black lung cumstains. Box the fuck out!
Joke was done downpost a ways, but Black Lung Cumstains is a terrific band name.
Could open for Cage the Elephant!

I enjoy Cage the Elephant.
Give Sleeper Agent (produced by and good buddies with Cage the Elephant) a listen, then:

How is the Loyola win a “stunner?” The line was fucking 2 points.
Buzzer beaters make for automatic stunners, whether the Stone Cold variety or otherwise.
Marshall got swagger!
i thought turbulence did them in?
but no can rebound (a constant with all Hippo picks)
Goddammit Providence!!!
Oh no, wait. I changed that pick.
Fuck you Providence.

just send your cash to Hippo now
send Hippo your pro-Marshall vibes
/appears they at least survived the flight
Ouch.
(yes I’m laughing)
((yes, i’m as big an asshole as you and I wish I’d thought of that one))
Fun fact about CSU Fullerton: one time I took a ride down there in a jeep with no doors so we could buy drugs.
So…why, if you’re in LA, would you head to the OC for drugs?
It was twenty years ago, and there was a serious dearth of dealers at my college. Very few people could live that lifestyle and pass their classes simultaneously.
Right, but still seems like a long ride for more expensive weed. Unless this was back in the day when dealers were less plentiful.
maybe he needed Colombian Marching Powder?
No, it was weed.
so now Sonic has a lesbian couple. that’s nice.
I saw Sonic Lesbian Couple open up for The Hold Steady at the Viper Room many years back.
I could turn ’em.
Plus, foot long hot dogs.
Phrasing.
Yes, it’s a cesspool in a lot of ways, but it’s one-two punches like this that are why I read reddit.
Outstanding.
The “book having a stroke” one made me laugh about as hard as the legendary “Jeff Baca Christmas Ham” bit. It’s gonna crack me up all day.
Baca/Ham was amazing.
Is there any way to end this game and send both Fullerton and Purdue home?
Holy fuckballz this is ugly.
PRO TIP: Calling a timeout at the end of the half/game only helps the defense. Unless there are less than 3 seconds to play.
I miss Jim Valvano so very goddamned much,
LOVE that Raftery is calling a Big East side. He digs Providence, especially.
Allie LaForce is easy on the eyes
She’s more credible than Allie SpaceForce, I’ll give her that.
she is pretty much my female ideal

I NEVAR feel as old and white* as when I go on about this, and the mid-range jumper. Drives me bananas.

“3 or die.” – Tom Brady, talking about his PSI preference
“3 or die” – Deanna Favre in Vegas, deciding whether to play craps or go back to the room.
“3 or die.” – Jason Pierre-Paul, making an ultimatum to his doctor
Great hustle.
Sorry Fullerton.
This ain’t baseball.
Then again, Purdue is predictably stupid again, so who knows?
Pssst…hey Purdue. Instead of jacking up errant 3’s, maybe consider dumping it inside to that gigantic honkey you’ve got.
Nice run after I quit watching ’em
Purdue is Purduing again.
MOAR LIEK PURDON’T AMIRITE
We also would have accepted “Purdoo-doo”.
Dammit! Too slow on the keyboard.
/Shakes fist admiringly at RTD
Areas in which CS Fullerton is better than Purdue:
1) Baseball
2) Weather
3) Proximity to Disneyland
4) Number of women whom I’ve known intimately (not a high-scoring duel)
which of the ladies pictured above did she most resemble?
I’d say the one in the middle but that’s with nostalgia-goggles on.
you are now OUR GOD!
That Buick ad with the sports parents really pissed me off from a class perspective but I’m having a hard time articulating my problems with it properly.
#BloodInTheStreets
More and more every day. And I’m not even a fucking Sanders supporter, or sympathizer. I’m as centre-left as they get.
Sanders is someone I actively dislike more by the day.
What did the Colonel ever do to you?
HE NOES
Even worse, it was Reba with a strap-on.
Huckabee Sanders? I applaud the support from her bra, fucking thing is so tight it makes her eye wonky.
I guess it breaks down to the rhetorical question of why sports that require lots of expensive equipment (like lacrosse and hockey) tend to attract a disproportionate share of white youths.
Tight’un Coach’s first name is “Dedrique” – no fucking shit.
“They may not be long for the tourney, but holy shit let us take time to appreciate the CS-Fullerton dance squad whilst they is here, shall we?”
Are you saying their asses are…Tight ‘uns?
Their mascot avatar is an elephant, so I shall refer to them as The House of Morgan should they advance.
/also see if they have some charity car wash pics or sommet
I’m about 15 minutes away. I’ll go on my lunch hour and scout the campus in my classy trench coat/shades ensemble.

Uggh, have a bad cold and tickets to Pennywise tonight plus I work at 7 am tomorrow, me thinks I will not be raging against the man tonight.
Trying to imagine a Canadian mosh pit…
“Oh, sorry buddy.”
“Hey, no worries, eh?”
“You bet, take it easy, eh?”
It has gotten a lot more polite now that we punk fans are all in our 40’s. We ain’t got time for mosh pit injuries.
Damn, so close. I loves an accidental tip-in.

CHALK! It’ll all go to pot today.
Go Green Chile Aggies!
Morning all. Go Friars and whatnot.
