Time to get the sads for the cornucopia coming to a close. Real life beckons soon, unless you have a six-shootin’ pistol and are ready to leave (h/t, Strumbellas):

#9(S) Kansas State (+1, -105) v. #8(S)Creighton (6:50, TNT)
Hey, you want anonymous? This match will give you some anonymous. I think Creigh-Creigh is better coached, and has showed some flashes of upside, so I gives ’em the slightest of edge.
#14(MW) Bucknell (+13.5, +750) v. #3(MW) Michigan State (7:10, CBS)
Ninja, please!
#16(W) Texas Southern (+19, N/A) v. #1(W) Xavier (7:20, TBS)
Mike Davis will find these Jesuits more like his first 13 foes than Wednesday night’s easygoing Central folk. It will be a good tourney for the Queen City (garbage chili varietal).
#13(MW) College of Charleston (+10, +435) v. #4(MW) Auburn (7:27, truTV)
FUCK YOU, who said you can drop “College of” from your name? NAWT Hippo. Auburn is one of those nice “out of nowhere” stories that seems to be coming apart at the end. Methinks they will sputter through one game, but Clemson will smack them good. Over-popular upset pick here.
#16(S) Maryland-Baltimore County (+20, N/A) v. #1(S) Virginia (9:20, TNT)
DO NOT BET the dog here. Wahoowa will be out to make a statement, and we shall see how Retrievers are at fetching they own jocks.
#11(MW) Syracuse (+5, +180) v. #6(MW) TCU (9:40, CBS)
Offer thine blood FOAR the Bloodeyes’ god, because with the Bonnies shitting the bed, it is up to L’Orange to carry on the tradition of at least one play-in piece of flotsam doing some damage. And ain’t nobody (but Scotchy) got time for that.
#9(W) Florida State v. #8(W) Missouri (+2, +115) (9:50, TBS)
The Seminoles are the only favoured 9-seed, and I agree. Much is made of Mizzou’s uber-hyped freshman coming back from injury for the tourney…but he still played in the SEC tournament loss to UGA, didn’t he? Full health and chemistry remain open questions, plus FSU is just better and deeper. Unless they are having one of their off nights – the reason they fell to such a low seed to begin with.
#12(MW) New Mexico State (+4.5, +170) v. #5(MW) Clemson (9:57, truTV)
Speaking of over-hyped upsets – everybody is aboard the “Clemson flops” train but me. I see a legitimate Final Four contender. Not that the Aggies aren’t a dangerous 12 seed – they most definitely are, but rather Clemson is a focused and dogged opponent, who gave UVA a real scare in the ACCT semis.
UMBC comes to Charlottesville, the musical version…..

Hippo making picks (artist’s conception):
just let Clemson cover and Cuse win so I can put moneys behind the shit I get wrong on Sunday!
Hippo got tomorrows picks ready?
uhhhhhhh
i want to stop by Green Valley Ranch tonight and place my bets. What you got? Mr. Ayo you got anything?
Oh god no. Stick with Hippo if you want to survive.
That is sooooooo Caesar!!!!!!!!
Aren’t you a day late with this?
No.
Wasn’t the Ides of March yesterday?
Sorry, Shakespeare brings out the dick in me.
Not something I thought I’d say today…
Today is bitch about a good joke day, though.
I’M A WINNER!
Very much looking forward to what Barkley has to say about this.
Holy shit.
OK, she can come on the boat.
It’s weird to think that if she hadn’t been scouted, she’d almost certainly be a Marine right now like her parents and brother.
Back to Hornytoads. FUCK the Orange
Later, on TWBS’ boat…
Bullshit.
Vagina has only ever gotten me in trouble. fuck dat.
And no I’m not saying I’m gay, you fuckers.
Solitude
(aka no bitches on the boat)
Hippo?!?
Wait…are you asking me if Hippo can come on the boat (phrasing)….or if he’s a bitch?
Ah never mind. It’s “yes” either way.
And yes, I know it’s none of the above.
So don’t even start with me, lmfao.
I’m saying Don’t Turn Into Hermit Hippo!
I KNOW WHAT YOU WERE SAYING I’M HIGH NOT STUPID!!!!!
Have you ever been stupid high?
No comment.
Also, tonight, most recently. You didn’t read back on my “Kitchen Adventures” earlier. Obviously.
is this a Vikings or Packers boat party?
A bunch of packers who end the night with the boat on fire.
holy shit. she even has nice feet.
One of us? One of us!
-Rex
if she takes care of her feet, she keeps the rest of herself in good shape
I’m hoisting my spinnaker right now.
I don’t give a shit about anymore games after this.
At least for tonight, anyway.
WHO ARE GOOD BOYS?
United Malayan Banking Corporation (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
How many DFOers besides me knew UMBC existed before this game?
I still don’t know what the BC is for…
Baltimore County.
This is, in fact, correct.
But not as funny.
Bullet Collectors
Big Cock?
Great minds
I’d have guessed it was a medical abbreviation for “umbilical cord”.
Now, it’s going to be University of Men with Big Cocks
You get your application in yet?
I got rejected.
Full ride scholarship.
Hehehehe…the best kind.
Full ride, that is.
It could also be….

Just saying.
University of Missouri Bioinformatics Consortium (Columbia, MO)
I love that there is NO ONE in the stands for Syracuse-TCU.

At least now I know what happened to my Grandmother’s favorite tablecloth.
I’d spill my milkshake on it.
Yo Virginia you got a…

UVA tweeted “Thanks Obama” because he chose them to win it all.
So, Thanks Obama. He shat the bed for everyone yet again.
Bernie’s bracket would’ve been perfect, smgdh.
“UVM doesn’t even have a team!”
I’m being told from a source that the Retrievers are celebrating this historic win by chasing their tails and sniffing each others butts.
Green Chile Aggies need to make a run here
NM State will … Not.
Good dogs.
USA over USSR at the Olympics
Appy State over #5 Michigan
This
Discuss.
Fuck that Miracle On Ice shit.
Nope.
Nope.
THIS
This. Turned out Michigan wasn’t really that good, and USA had some good players after all.
UVA was a monster all year long.
This game also was an end-to-end ass whooping. With a very brief competitive period right before half.
NYG over Pats for NFL
This.
This is surreal. I was convinced it was next-to-impossible that a 16 could get past a 1. Just incredible.
I love March Madness.
I’ve long argued that it makes no sense to expand the field until a 16 beats a 1. So I guess I can pack that talking point up and put it in the attic.
Please don’t.
Please no 128.
Please?
128 teams. Because that many teams playing in the postseason has proven to be a spectacular success for college football.
I can’t recall where I read it, but someone wrote an article on 16s beating 1s, ran some numbers, and said we’ve been overdue for this.
Good! – william tecumseh sherman
Has it ever happened that a bracket consisted of all four upsets?
Folks, this reminds me of a time where a #1 seed didn’t blow it: Super Bowl LII
Are you happy, me?
This is making me wish I had a way to watch this game on TV.
Is being the first 1 seed to lose to a 16 seed a fireable offense?
It should be a “Fired into the sun” offense.
Maybe fire up a bong hit.
Goddamn. Virginia should be barred from any future tournaments, NCAA basketball or no.
This is the 2nd day in my life I knew a UMBC existed.
I’ve been there and occasionally forget.
Virginia hasn’t seen this big of an upset since Yorktown.
#16(S) Maryland-Baltimore County (+20, N/A) v. #1(S) Virginia (9:20, TNT)
DO NOT BET the dog here. Wahoowa will be out to make a statement, and we shall see how Retrievers are at fetching they own jocks.
I give the bestest advice!
Retrievers bite Hippo
I know you ain’t gonna denigrate yoself for not seeing that one coming. Dude?
This is so goddamn awesome.
Have the O-VER-RA-TED chants begun?
This is AWESOME! The team I chose to win it all becomes the first #1 in history to lose to a #16. Beautiful!
Ditto.
Gentleman it’s been a honor watching histrionic bed shitting with you.
I’m really starting to believe…
Dude, no way in hell they can make up 20 in a minute.
This has been OVAH for about then minutes. At least.
Oh hey, someone from my alma mater’ll be in the college dunk contest.

[let’s get this nonsense out of here]
WTF?
Google search does that some. Gimme a sec, I’ll fix.
Thanks. I’m trying here.
There it is!
Thank you sir!
Please edit that shit.
thought we did.
Welp, at least I climbed back as high as tied for 5th before Thomas Jefferson fucked me in the ass.
I’ll see you bottom halfers in a coupla minutes.
“Thomas Jefferson fucked me in the ass.”
-Sally Hemings
Baltimore is going to burn brighter tonight than normal
This should be transfered to CBS. I don’t think anybody cares about TCU vs. Syracuse right now.
Alright, about time to go watch Syracuse pick their nose and lose.
I’m surprised how badly UMBC beat their ass.
