Yes, we have reached the end. No lovable underdog, everyone is cheering for the flat track bully. But a worthy champion they would be, so hopefully they will finish the job in fine fashion this evening. With no further ado…
#3(W) Michigan (+7, +270) v. #1(E) Villanova (9:20, TBS)
Make no bones about it, this line tells the story of a Nova side that has the momentum of a runaway freight train (h/t Friends of Monty Burns FOAR Governor), as Michigan has been pretty ruthless against non-Houston opponents. Both sides are fairly perimeter oriented, and play very good defense. One could call them evenly matched, except that the Wildcats have more ways to score, and more options on the floor. Beilein’s Wolverines, like all Beilein sides, chuck up way too many threes, and rely to an unhealthy extent on the hideous Mo Wagner. That said – this is no fait accompli – there’s a very realistic shot that UM will cut down the nets at the end of our evening. Let’s just hope not. Jesuit power, one last time!

Oh my God. It’s 9:15 already.
NOOO; it’s just an expression!
Shit, the under wins.
NEVER BET AGAINST THE HOUSE! I’M RICH!
Chi****!

Not sure why I am still laughing….. not that funny.
It’s a Mets game; they probably both got injured on the play.
Broken fingers? or fell on a stalagmite?
Pulled groin
A lot different than poverty ham.
“Shit the under”
A comma makes a difference, people.
Now onto a very important playoff-making game between Ice Rams and Ice Broncos.
Ice Rams currently up 2-1 about halfway thru the game.
Also, I am kinda buzzed and Trump is a dangerous lunatic, so some things are eternal.
Gotta say, with all the “anything can happen” going on this tourney, Villanova was fucking dominant and was absolutely not gonna be denied. I didn’t (totally) mind the whitey-fellating done by the announcers since dude was the truth tonight. Great team and a great season-long performance.
Plus I came (heh) in 2nd in my own pool and will profit a little over $100. BEER FOR EVERYONE HERE! (As usual, I am alone)
Daggers for all, minature American flags for others.
Speaking of daggers, I just ordered this book for my father’s birthday.

And yes, I am going to try to read it before wrapping it.
Every time Mark Emmert speaks, I hear Elmo’s voice.
Emmert is the fucking worst. Talk about a guy who defines “failing up”, (besides me); he was a goddamn joke at UCONN, (https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/4/3/4176742/mark-emmert-ncaa-president-usa-today), and apparently didn’t do much better at LSU. Every time I see him talk I’m surprised his forked tongue doesn’t dart out and nail a passing fly.
Seriously, fuck Mark Emmert.

This one’s more detailed. UCONN found their new chancellor at Montana State. I mean, what the fuck?
I don’t think this new Tracy Morgan show has any legs.
“Agreed.”

Dude.
Live bet:
Sister Jean appearances in One Shining Moment: 1.5
Over: -110
Under: +110
What you got?

Sorry, not a winner

Nice!
Sorry, not a winner.
And you were WAY off.
Reverse cowgirl.
My wife is currently baking cookies, and I am drinking a blood orange old-fashioned. Life is damned good.
Agreed.
What kind of cookies?
Shortbread chocolate chip.
Sploooooosh.
Nice.
I think the losing team should have to stay on the court, standing in formation with their heads bowed.
Hi everybody!
Hi Dr. Rick…i
Sorry. I forgot to tie down my “load”.
You can lock up your lube with these.
The one time you actually shoulda helped someone move.
Bravo.
Everybody masturbates.
“Do it the right way,” DRINK!
I’d murder you all for some freshly-made donuts like that.
I’d do it for $6 and a pack of cigarettes, and I don’t smo…
and I’ve said too much.
All right, get to the “One Shining Moment,” let’s get this over with.
WIP is going to eat itself this week.
“NOVA AIN’T ONNA US!!!111!1”
“NOVA GIVING US ANUDDER CHAMPEENINSHIP!!!!!!!1111!11!’
ShitWIP
Last time I saw a German dude look that dejected, there was cyanide and bullets involved.
I KNEW you were in that bunker!
I had dinner with a couple of neighbors in their nineties on Friday and I just remembered because I’m watching Babylon Berlin (good Netflix series, BTW) that we talked about how they were old enough to remember when people died from getting syphilis. It seems amazing sometimes how 50 years from now some kid is going to look at, say, chemotherapy the way we look at bloodletting or the crazy, bad “treatment” they had for the fucking clap before the war.
found a funny:
You can lead a horse to water, but you probably can’t do it as well as Sneaky Gary, the serial horse drowner.
Congrats to Villanova. Fun tournament overall.
Running clock? Please?
Is that your Indian name?
No, that’s Runny Drawers
That’s Andy Reid’s name.
Now looking for this Jerk Chicken Lesser Footy
I’d say more of a mildly irritating chicken.
Hey guys, maybe we should kill some clock and just…
Grand total of ZERO fucks given. This is how champions ought to comport themselves.
Just gave my dog a huge bone.
Maybe should put that differently.
make sure to call him in the morning
No peanut butter was involved….unlike SOME people.
I had to nearly strangle mine on his walk tonight to get him to let go of some dead animal bone he hauled out of the woods.
Me: WE FEED YOU!!! YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE THAT’S BEEN AND IT’S GOING TO LACERATE YOUR THROAT!!!!
Dog: Fuck it, I’m gonna chew it to splinters and swallow it anyway
Mine is pretty good about that now, but it has taken a few years to get train to not eat and/or roll in old dead carcasses. The ones I get at the store seem like wildebeest or something, or a LARGE cow. Bone splinter makes me thing huuummmm, how about a $6,000 surgery.
Mine is just over 2 years old and has gotten better but if there’s anything left on the bone he will hold on like grim death. I’m not even sure what this bone was; might have been some kind of fish.
What kind of dog? Two is still in puppy mode.
A friend husky found an elk bone when we were snowshoeing on about eight feet of snow. That was a challenge to get it from him.
That first tequila went down way too easily.
Let’s see if the second puts up more of a fight…
/Horatio is never heard from again
Michigan announcers calling for a carry every time the Eyetalian kid has the ball. I think you have to actually be moving for it to be a carry, and every replay they show has him with his pivot foot still firmly planted.
I would appreciate an exactly 9 point loss
Can’t imagine why.
Villanova well and truly wants them shamed.
I think the odds of that are far greater than +17000
I mean, if aliens abducted the entire Villanova roster, it could happen.

Michael Jackson was looking a little pale towards the end, too.
Now we wait to see whether Michigan will vacate this runners-up medal (yet again)
holy merde, Nova ain’t play
Foot on throat fo’ sho’.
They put an ass whooping on this tourney
WVU gave them their toughest game. There’s some solace in that, I suppose.
/drinks more
//pees in houseplant
///continues to ignore screaming infant
all right and good choices
Jay Feely on that last dunk: HERE’S WAGNER!!!
Me: You know it, fucker
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jDcWAWRRHo
Jay Feely is announcing for the Michigan team. TNT if you hate your ears but love schadenfreude.
I would rule out a placekicking option for them at this point
COLD BLOODED
OK ‘Nova, don’t go all stupid. You could still lose mah moneh for me.
Hippo there is Jamaican lesser footy to bet on…
😛
Watching this with the Michigan home team announcers is pretty funny.
should have considered the schadenfreude angle of that!
For a bananacakes tourney, kind of a wet fart of a Final Four. But such is often the way.
I’m considering hedging $50 on Michigan live ML at +1300
+1700 now.
But nah, never mind.
They’d be safe at +17000
/have officially closed mah GAMBLOR window for the night
There are some interesting prop bets going down the stretch. But I think I’m done too.
-tWBS literally 10 minutes ago
After the ‘Nova 16-5 run, they looked tired and beaten.
Wasn’t a difficult call at that point.
uh oh, the German getting testy. That can…have consequences.
An initial burst of success, followed by a crushing defeat and then the University of Michigan being split into two campuses for 50-60 years?
Sign me up!
Michigan’s Nazi is coming a little undone.
GREAT, now someone will trip over the shoelaces.
