World Gawne Mad – Saturday Round of 32 Afternoon Games Open Thread

Be nice to your UVA friends today, they might be just a wee bit touchy… (also feel free to discuss the various flaccid Lesser Footy matchups available on this weekend when all the good sides are in the FA Cup quarters)

#9(E) Alabama (+11, +556) v. #1(E) Villanova (12:10, CBS)

Good news, Roll Damn Tide!  You have the best guard in this matchup, Collin Sexton.  The bad news?  Nova has #s 2-5, perhaps 2-6.  That will prove a problem as the 2nd half drags on.

#7(MW) Rhode Island (+9.5, +400) v. #2(MW) Duke (2:40, CBS)

Do you believe, Commentist Party?  HIPPO BELIEVES.  Matchups are everything in hoopsball, and JV RRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! matches Duke’s athleticism, but with much more experience.

#13(S) Buffalo (+5.5, +215) v. #5(S) Kentucky (5:10, CBS)

Hate to piss in everyone’s punch bowl, but the wagon-circling stops here.  Kenfucky are for real, and it would seem are on a collision course to meet WKRP in the Elite Eight.  Defensing will make all the difference.

#11(S) Loyola-Chi**** (+5.5, +205) v. #3(S) Tennessee (6:10, TNT)

Finally, a non-CBS/channel flipping game!  Ramble on, you sweet MO Valley representatives.  Sweet Sixteen and Rick Barnes so very rarely mix.

Why the fuck can’t my flights get delayed like this?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yes, but is that keg of Bud Light that’s being changed replaced with another keg of Bud Light? Something tells me no.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Do you refuse to eat fried chicken because you find it “uncouth” and insist it’s not for any other reason? The Masters, coming soon.

Horatio Cornblower

When I eventually take my rightful place as the ruler of Earth the first thing I’m going to do is scorch Augusta to ash, during Final Sunday.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah, I hate Maine too.

Horatio Cornblower

“That battleship had it coming”
-Fidel Castro, maybe

Unsurprised

Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams, but Hearst’s dynamite can sink a battleship.

“REMEMBER THE MAIN!” – Andy Reid, concerned that his server might allow too long of a delay after the appetizers have arrived.

Unsurprised

Sherman did nothing wrong.

Horatio Cornblower

Actually a shit version of the song, and I say that with Joe Strummer one of my heroes, but check out how absolutely shit-faced Shane is while “singing” back-up.

Col. Duke LaCross

Is Shane ever sober?

herodotus450

That Chevy Chase, I think he could go on to do great things

Unsurprised

Yeah, today is totally amateur hour. It’s still important to acknowledge what we’re celebrating.

If bama could double their score they’d be way out in front of the Cats.

Unsurprised

God. DAMN.

Horatio Cornblower

I posted that earlier today. That shit is what Twitter is for.

Unsurprised

Damn you and your EST and waking up before 10am.

Horatio Cornblower

I got up at 10:30. That’s what happens when you stay up until 2:00 am for reasons that make no sense even to yourself.

Unsurprised

I was up until 5:30.

Old people say weird shit sometimes…

Mom: Do you like beets?
Me: Yeah, they’re ok I guess.
Mom: Well they’re good for your prostate. If you have one.
Me: Well I assume I do, but I’ve never gone up there looking for it.
Mom: We should grow some beets this year.
Me: Fine by me as long as no one goes looking for my prostate.

herodotus450

Oh.

James Joyce hisself reading from ‘Ulysses’. (I read the whole damn thing because I had to in college)

Unsurprised

The banner cheerleader is cute. She deserves a nice lobster dinner and a call the next day.

Also, fuck UVA.

Horatio Cornblower

She represents a State that thinks clear chowder is a thing, and that paved roads are a luxury.

She doesn’t deserve a call during the evening.

Unsurprised

Dude. I’m from New Mexico and live in Oregon on a street that hasn’t been repaved since it was originally laid 90 years ago; driving on it is like driving on the moon. I’m not in any position to criticize another state’s poor infrastructure.

As for chowder, what’s the point of eating chowder? You miss all the fun and flavor of shellfish (although peeling/cracking that shit is overrated as an experience).

Horatio Cornblower

Oh look, the guys from New Mexico and North Carolina are commenting on chowder.
/makes dismissive wanking motion until he develops carpal tunnel

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Horatio turned into a Travis Kelce gif so gradually I barely even noticed.

Horatio Cornblower

“Don’t eat the chowder; Kelce’s been in the kitchen.”

Damn white people. Charles Haley had the decency to go to completion.

Ireland putting a whupping on England in tape-delayed rugby.

Horatio Cornblower

That’ll last until the Irish make a stand at the Post Office, foolishly thinking the English would never launch a naval bombardment on their defenses.

Spur

today is the day Sessions fires Mueller. i can feel it.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Sessions can’t fire Mueller; he’s recused. He pledge that he’d be recused in any matters regarding to a Clinton probe too, a fact that will undoubtedly come up when McCabe sues for wrongful termination.

Spur

not with that spirit.

scotchnaut

Since the recusal, Sessions can only fire fellow Keebler elves that are further down the chain. And yes, burning the cookies is a fire-able offense.

Spur

i cant keep track, who’s Mueller’s direct Super now?

Unsurprised

Deputy AG. Some Jew, I think.

/wrestles the spirit of Nixon out of him

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Mmmmmmmm, my coffee burns, and not because it’s hot.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Because you’re pouring it on your gonorrhea-infected urethra?

God you’re a sick puppy.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

It can burn for two reasons!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Ouch, chlamydia too? You have my sympathy.

Horatio Cornblower

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I was originally just gonna say “pouring it on your gonorrhea” but then I said to myself, hey, it’s March Madness, let’s go for the triple.

Senor Weaselo

Baaaang! Wait, Mike Breen does the NBA.

scotchnaut

Sideline reporter got her some pipes!

scotchnaut

Bag of Llamas keeping it close…

scotchnaut

Hit your damn free throws, Tide. They’re FREE!

Horatio Cornblower

Well, there’s your problem: African-Americans, “Free” and Alabama are not three things that go together.

scotchnaut

Have you ever roofied a girl’s Mint Julep? The Masters, coming soon.

theeWeeBabySeamus

The Kentucky Derby would like a word.

scotchnaut

When doing the laundry do you refuse to mix the whites and the coloreds based on the principle that they are ‘separate but equal’? The Masters, coming soon.

Unsurprised

More like The Master Race, amirite?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Do you genuinely believe “trickle down economics” can solve this country’s financial woes? The Masters, coming soon.

Spur
scotchnaut

Do you give ‘the help’ a discounted Costco ham at Christmas and expect to be profusely thanked? The Masters, coming soon.

Spur

Folks!
I have a bit of a hangover. chorizo mixed with eggs can fix that.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Do you believe that statues of Confederate heroes are actually about celebrating Southern Heritage? The Masters, coming soon.

scotchnaut

Balalama has got the athleticism to play with Villanova.

scotchnaut

Are you a huge “States Rights” advocate? The Masters, coming soon.

theeWeeBabySeamus

So feeding the ducks while high was fun again this morning.
I mean I was high, not the ducks.
Well, I guess they could have been. It’s hard to tell and I mind my own business and don’t ask questions.

scotchnaut

Have you moved your therapy couch out to the shoreline yet? What are the their rates like?

theeWeeBabySeamus

No, that’s the geese Imma start shooting* with the pellet gun later. Those assholes are making a mess. I honestly never realized geese could shit that much. Time for them to move on.

* Not to injure. Just to sting a little bit and make the yard a little less fun to shit in.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You eat my ducks and we’re gonna have a problem, mister.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh, an osprey showed up flying around and looking to grab some fishies. That’s new. They don’t usually come this far inland. Hope he sticks around.

And yes, I’m disappointed I no had camera.

Senor Weaselo

You know what I’d like to say about your goose problem, but we don’t need PETA to angrily flood the site. Fuckers.

Unsurprised

Time to make foie gras.

scotchnaut

Do you have no idea what tampons are for? The Masters, coming soon.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Top of the mornin’ to you reprobates! Homer vs. the 18th Amendment is just starting, with a Guinness in hand.

Merry Irish Xmas, everyone!

scotchnaut

I knew there was a reason I was drinking today!

scotchnaut

I haven’t pooped yet today. Odd.

scotchnaut

A constipated failure?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Another great punk rock band name, btw.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I miss that show. I really need to rewatch it.

scotchnaut

Great D by Bama!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Fuck UVA. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of J Crew clad Nazi hosters.

Horatio Cornblower

That thing I sent you, it’s been delivered. Just in case you don’t trust your neighbors.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Thanks! Still on the road but will return the favor when I’m back

scotchnaut

I smell a Nerdy White Guys Drug Deal going down.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Just because it’s been up my butt doesn’t mean it’s drugs

theeWeeBabySeamus

Do tell!!!!!

Horatio Cornblower

It’s high-quality beer, so, yeah, pretty much the apotheosis of a Nerdy White Guys Drug Deal.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If you failed to address that package as “c/o Langdon Alger” you are dead to me.

scotchnaut

Just finished that book about Dunbar High School. Didn’t realize Bob Wade had a 10 year coaching record of 273-24. That’s insane.

theeWeeBabySeamus

He fell a little short of that mark at Maryland.

scotchnaut

12:04? That’s four minutes of quality day-drinking fucking wasted. smh

theeWeeBabySeamus

Who do you use? My guys are sitting at+425.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I might have to look into them. I’m kinda pissed that I’m still waiting on my money. And now after KState yesterday, there’s another $1,100 Imma have to ask for I guess.

Fuck you, Bovada. I think we should see other people.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Holy shit, really? Maybe I’m being an unreasonable asshole again then.
Been about 2.5 so far.

scotchnaut

Liquor store run-who wants to ride shotgun?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I stocked up yesterday. But I do need to go buy a pack of smokes.
I wanted a cigarette so bad last night while I was high. I always want one when I’m high for some reason.

But I was too high to drive.

Senor Weaselo

Me, I may need it around *calculates when I’ll get home from teaching* 5:00?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I haven’t seen a group of folks from Charlottesville get run over that badly since…

Senor Weaselo

There was good basketballing ON BOTH SIDES, ppl forget that

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Crap. As much as I enjoyed seeing UMBilical Cord State beat Virginia, it has completely ruined my Duke jinxing strategy of filling out my bracket. Now Duke can win it all and I probably won’t win a cent.

Horatio Cornblower

I was going to go with “This UMBC, I call them Sally Hemings, because they just destroyed Thomas Jefferson’s legacy”, but THIS, this is perfection:
