One MOAR enjoyable day/evening at hand, before the bullshit part takes over. Savour it!
#11(S) Loyola-Chi**** (+1, -103) v. #9(S) Kansas State (6:09, TBS)
Not to belittle Sister Jean’s amazing ride in the least, but one can argue – with a straight face – that the Ramblers have faced a series of increasingly meh opponents (Tennessee, Nevada, now K State, who I believe was under .500 in Big Twaaaalve play) since dispatching of Miami in the 1st round. And Loyola were only 2-point dogs in THAT matchup, because they are a damned solid squadron. It’s bananacakes, but an 11-seed out of the Missouri Valley conference has a very good chance to advance to the Final Four today, having never been a +200 ML underdog. The less one says about boring-ass K State the better.
#9(W) Florida State (+4.5, +175) v. #3(W) Michigan (8:49, TBS)
I really, really want to see Scowlin’ Leonard in the Final Four. He’s one of the nation’s most criminally underrated hoopsball coaches, and he fucking deserves it. Sadly, I do not see it happening. Meeeeechigan is too hot, though chucker teams are always susceptible to cold streaks. Anyway, I like where the above picture might be heading. Huzzah, Tallahassee.
Alright, assholes. I gotta go out and clean snow of the dish if’n I wanna see the rest of this hoopsball extravyganzy.
Jeebus…IT’S FUCKING MARCH THE 24TH FFS!!!!!!!!!

“It’s been reported this week that Lyle and Erik Menendez admitted to stabbing their parents 57 times because they thought their parents had, quote, “supernatural powers”, however they said, in retrospect, they were, uh, probably wrong.”
“Arriving back in the U.S. after his week in London, O.J. Simpson was asked by a reporter why he hadn’t spent Mother’s Day with his children. A visibly annoyed Simpson replied, ‘Idiot! I didn’t spend Mother’s Day with my kids because I killed their mother!'”

“Legendary pool hustler Minnesota Fats passed away Wednesday. You know now he’s probably up in Heaven racking them up for a game with St. Peter. Or, maybe he’s in Hell, where demons gnaw at his flesh and the agonies of the damned never cease. Either way, he’ll be missed.”
Is that Norm MacDonald? Sound like him
Yes I am bored

Man, between Loyola and FSU, you are seeing a defensing clinic tonight. In very different fashion. Jeebus, it would be soooooo fucking fun to watch those two play!
FSU just refuses to go ahead by more than 2.
How many legs on a crab?
Bob Cole is 84, and I still think he’s one of the better broadcasters out there.
Bob Dole is 94
and he’s still got a firm grip on that pen!
Damn dirty hippies, criminal element

Speaking of long-time announcers: I would think Bob Uecker has to be in his 80s by now.
I have taken over the wine fetching which is usually my 1st goal when here.. Wife has told inlaws how much hoopsball I have been watching and success with Gamblor, therefore I get the tv right now. Wow.
Soooo….
Lawrence Welk or Hee Haw?
HOOPSBALL! I gots control!
I’m actively hoping Vegas win this Cup this year so every GM can look so fucking stupid.
They’re going to have $27 million in free cap space next year too.
I could totally get behind Vegas taking it all.
They do, every time you visit.
If Seattle gets a team, GMs are going to shit themselves.

Bad call, but it helps FSU so FUCK IT!
Holy shit, snowing so hard here now it’s knocked DirecTV out. That’s new.
Rain, sure. But snow? Interesting.
Is it still tied?
FSU is up by 10!!! Can’t believe you missed it.
Don’t I wish.
Holy shit.
If you bracket folks care to take a gander, there’s someone in the bracket challenge that has Loyola going to the finals.
Hint: ME!
uh…you win? 😀
I have them losing to Purdue so, Jury’s still out.
“Jury’s still out.”
So’s Purdue
Kansas, Purdue, South Dakota State and Loyola are your final 4. Interesting move.
pure badassery:

I can’t wait to listen to “This is the year the Sabres finally get it together” for the next 7 years.
Then again they’ll be paying Kyle Okposo $6m/year for most of them.
Watching boxing and the announcers are praising the white guy, (Hippo, never bet on the white guy), for being “game”, (boxing announcers love that term the way NFL announcers jizz over “grit”), and not giving up.
It’s Round 2.
Game, e.g., a thing to be killed for a trophy
It does work.
oh Christ, the ONLY thing I know about boxing is ALWAYS bet on the black guy. Or the blackest guy, as the case may be.
I’ll put $4000 on Mr. Mugabe

I’ll take what I was hoping for in an Illinois Republican primary election for $400, Alex.
word. a T.V. add for DropBox.
Chris Kreider is so good, and I want to strangle him because he never scores 30 goals a year.
I’m enjoying this little run after letting the bottom fall out, but good God is this team fucking awful at 5-on-5.
My niece just asked me what does “vasectomy” mean?
I really don’t need this tonight.
operation so a man can make any more babies, no follow up questions allowed.
I tried to go simple. I asked her… “Do you know where babies come from?”
Her: Yes
Me: Well it’s a surgery for a man so he can’t be makin’ no more babies.
Her: But why?
Me: GODDAMMIT!!!
because they are happy with the family they have.
LMFAO
a nice way of saying “don’t want to fuck up my life even more”
LOL, I don’t want to scar the kid, but we’re headed in that direction.
It means “we can’t, it’s my fertile time” doesn’t mean shit.
Christ in foul trouble ,, smh

Found another funny:
ok, $55.95 on Scowlin’ Leonard at +185. Let’s do this!
Jeebus, it’s fucking snowing again.
Come on Spring, you are being liar to me!!!!!!!!!
Help a brutha out – who were the other 11 seeds to make the Final Four? LSU (Dale Brown), George Mason, and ?? Let’s see if we can get it without teh Google.
When you think of it, you will feel SMART.
(That’s hint, btw)
???
VCU and Shaka Smart
ahhhhh, fuck that asshole. No wonder I blocked it out.
Jesus Christ. The Blue Jackets have won 10 straight. Stop being not terrible, non-NFL Ohio sports teams.
Bet they lose to the Ice Stillers in 5 again.
Alright, I did change a few words to make it friendly to non-Buckeyes.

O, we don’t give a damn for the whole state of Michigan
The whole state of Michigan, the whole state of Michigan
We don’t give a damn for the whole state of Michigan, we’re for F.S.U.

Loyola is going to beat Duke to win the title and then Sister Jean is going to ascend into Heaven while a platoon of angels wrestles Coach K to Hell.
BANNER this man (yet again)
Banner somebody for fuck’s sake. If we don’t change that cousin-seimen thing soon we’re gonna start getting mistaken for Farmer’s Only.
Done.
Does anybody know how other than Internet Dad?
Yes.
Did Internet Dad go down to the corner for from Scratchers and hasn’t come back yet?
NO! He’s totes taking us to #BFIB opening day! I will be sitting on the front steps with mah glove and everything!!
This is one of the greatest things I have ever read. Nawt relijous.

I’ll go with Florida State here.
I’m loving this but Michigan will probably roll them if they win tonight.
Extra reason to cheer for FSU! That will just be extreme weird contrast hoopsball.
Just put 50 on FSU moneyline to keep it interesting.
Ditto.
I will join you two knuckleheads when my site loads
If God existed, she’d love this irony.
Whew. That was *fun*.
SCREAM AT OWN ASS
I don’t like being in a position where I have to root for Florida St
I feel your pain.
But you have to.
Porter Moser: Shoulda been an aloof jazz/country musician who died mysteriously one night of a smack OD.
I’m enjoying this but part of me wants the Loyola backups to give up 15 points in 30 seconds.
lol imagine being surprised U of I has never won a championship lol
if anything, be surprised at the Ray Meyer DePaul years.
Man alive, this is nerve-racking.
Never thought I would care so much! MAKE YOUR FTs, you white asshole!!
Rogers Park, by the way, is an underappreciated neighborhood of Chicago.
found a funny:
There is a lot to dislike about our modern moment, but it is delightful that Jim Nantz has to promote an interview with Stormy Daniels.
Hell has a perverse sense of humor.
Hahaha
Hello friends….
man, these guys like drama
Show of hands, before this month, who even knew of Loyola Chicago’s existence?
Considering how many times I’ve passed through the Loyola Red Line stop, you can’t count me.
but you’ve been on the cover of Time! YOU COUNT.
I did not.
Knew of their existence.
Would never have bracketed them to the Final Four.
yes, but I am a neeeerrrrrdddd
“Rick Majerus passed away in 2012”
Are you sure? I’m almost positive he was dead by ’04.
Played in front of him when he recruited a 7’2 dude from Winnipeg in 94. Nice rotund man.
