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.
Does anyone on the CBS studio show actually like each other? And do they know that they’re supposed to talk about actual baksetbalding?
Ummmmm….Hippo? You wanna tell me where you were that night?

These Buffalo players all have jobs waiting in the masonry field after this game.
They keep putting up cinder-blocks.

I think they’re running a MAGA offense.
They closed down the mill years ago.
This Kentucky vs Arizona 2nd round game is awes….oh right.

I went to the grocery store. On the way, I made the mistake of turning on ESPN radio. Two clowns were talking, both agreeing with each other that UVA’s loss is not that great of an upset.
The gist of their arguments were…
1) Neither could name a single player on either squad (I understand not knowing the UMBC squad, but I think its a bold take to basically admit you can’t think of a single player’s name from a historically good ACC team and the overall number 1 team going into the tournament
2) The score was not close, ergo the upset was not as great as it would have been had UMBC won by a late buzzer beater.
I really don’t get how one gets a sports radio talk show…
When I used to drive for work a lot, I got used to listening to a nationally syndicated sports talk network. One on One Sports I believe was the name. This would have been late 90s/early 2000s. These guys were good. Knowledgeable. Entertaining without bowing to gimmicks. Then the internet really kicked in.
They got sold (twice I think) and went thru different attempts to grab an audience back, but eventually took the path of least resistance and became more like shock radio. I quit listening.
I think it’s just a general decline in sports journalism in general because of shifting media dynamics.
OH JEEBUS!!!!! I just googled them. They’re SB Nation Radio now. Holy shit I couldn’t have a better example if I custom ordered it.

Everybody hates Dukes and I just don’t understand it; especially if they are really short.
Are those the “magic underwear” that’s all the rage with those nutty Latter-Day Saints?

and why hasn’t Duke pulled its starters?
Be a real shame if Bagley and Allen broke their legs as a result, wouldn’t it?
Turkey and swiss on marble rye, with black olives, mayo and dijon mustard is a good ‘fookin sandwich and I’ll fight anyone who says differently.
Right after I’m done eating.
I just finished breakfast. Now I can have my third drink of the day.
I thought the republicans made marble rye illegal again.
Mayonnaise is Satan’s jizz.
You’re thinking of horseradish.
A little goes a long way?
(that’s a satan’s jizz joke too)
Honestly, I’m not a big mayo guy myself. But in this case, just a touch of it really balances well with the olives and dijon.
You’re thinking of coleslaw
I would treat that sandwich like Timothee Chalamet treats a peach.

I wonder what it’s like to own a storefront business. I don’t know if I could do it. But maybe I’d be really good at it. I’m high.
Have your fingers started to fing yet?
I’m having the bottoms of my feet sanded and de-burred with a sanding block and coarse abrasive paste. It is the fucking bomb.

And yes, I’m still cracking up over the “Things Meatloaf would do for love” Pie chart Moose posted on the night thread last night.
So fucking funny.
Now I want to do a follow-up chart of “Things Andy Reid would do for Meatloaf” where half of it is “anything” and the other half is “also that”.
“Things Andy Reid Would Do For His Kids” and it’s just an empty circle.

Sleeping, I assume. Same as I’m trying to do.
Announcers are doing their own take on “Dukeback Mountain”.
It is a beautiful day, I’m high, and I’m getting a pedicure. Then I’m out on a six mile walk, high. Might make it seven, also while high.
ME TOO!!!!!! Well, except foar the pedicure and the six mile walk, because fuck that.
walk sounds like a nice way to burn off some anger (as does getting blackout drunk), but ain’t nobody touching mah feet
Any guy who hasn’t had a pedicure doesn’t know what he’s missing. Once a month, like regular maintence on an engine.
go eat Ryan Shazier’s limp dick, Ted Cruz, Jr.
Apparently 3 seconds and moving screens aren’t a thing anymore.

VIA WSJ – https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-lawyer-citing-mccabes-firing-calls-for-end-to-mueller-probe-1521309707
“Mr. McCabe wrote contemporaneous memos describing his dealings with Mr. Trump and the White House, as well as about what Mr. Comey told Mr. McCabe about his own interactions, a person close to Mr. McCabe said.”
“This person said that Mr. McCabe turned the memos over to Mr. Mueller.”
Jesus Christ. His lawyer makes Lionel Hutz look like Jerry Spence (That’s bad).
For the non-lawyers, McCabe wrote those memos because under the Federal Rules of Evidence such reports are admissible non-testimony evidence. Law enforcement agents write them because being admissible evidence makes them incredibly useful leverage in ongoing criminal prosecutions.
Stormy Daniels did the right thing hiring Bob Loblaw
I hear he’s got a law blog.
McCabe’s statement, though, reads just like that of the CIA whistleblower that Obama’s DOJ sent to prison even though Bush’s DOJ refused to prosecute him for making statements to journalists about the CIA’s torture program that Trump’s nominee to be the new director was a supervisor and participant in perpetrating. I find it funny since McCabe was, if I recall, involved in that three-year investigation that was 100% politically-motivated; it’s just that the political motivation came from the CIA and Obama’s war on whistleblowers.
The DOJ forced him to accept a plea deal because they indicted said whistleblower for goddamn espionage for talking to a reporter. Fuck Obama. Fuck Eric Holder. Fuck everyone involved in that shitshow – including Comey and McCabe.
Think Trump took notes as well as these guys?
Reminding self why haven’t seen a full Dook fixture all season

Like URI’s poise so far
What do you have on this game?

ML or spread? (Not that I need a reason to root against Duke, it’s just nice cheering your action home. Nice hits on Marshall & Loyola btw)

I think Purdue is my only team left in my DFO final four bracket. Maybe Gonzaga, too?
I had wondered why they were only favoured by 3.5

Did not need to wake up this morning, sleeping next to a parade.
Honestly surprised the cops didn’t wake me up. I stumbled to get a cup of coffee. As I am standing there, someone shoved a dollar bill in my half finished coffee.
I figured I needed to get cleaned up.
Oops
Bland fact: when I wear my at home clothes out, homeless folks never ask me for money and there’s been a few occasions where people look at me, squint and essentially debate on whether they should give me money or not. Lol
