2019 NCAAT 1st Round Thursday – Early Window Open Thread

Huzzah for life distractions!

#10(E) Minnesota (+5.5, +210) v. #7(E) Louisville (12:15, CBS)

Don’t bet the over/under on “Minute Man” Pitino crowd shots.  You don’t want to die of liver failure this early in the tourney.

#14(E) Yale (+6.5, +250) v. #3(E) LSU (12:40, truTV)

Oh, the taeks about these fine, upstanding, future white criminal Yalies, as opposed to the ruffian Negroes of the Bayou.  But LSU is without its suspended head coach (they think he’s paying folks, imagine that!), which seems vaguely important.

#12(MW) New Mexico State (+5.5, +225) v. #5(MW) Auburn (1:30, TNT)

Here comes the first of everyone’s predicted 12/5 upsets, but Aubie is used to playing folks that call theyselves Aggies.  Also, I have a mild pro-Bruce Pearl feeling about this dance.  I mean, who wouldn’t want to twirl the ballroom with that handsome devil!

#13(W) Vermont (+8.5, +380) v. #4(W) Florida State (2:00, TBS)

Look, when Scowlin’ Leonard and his Seminole Band go down in flames, I can officially quit caring about my brackets.  So, like 4:15 EST??

#15(E) Bradley (+18.5, +1625) v. #2(E) Michigan State (2:45, CBS)

The namesake of many Commentist Party illuminati, but their line does nae make it appear that The Valley is much account this year.  You know Sparty, they lose right away, or they at least make the Flacco Eight.

#11(E) Belmont (+3, +140) v. #6(E) Maryland (3:10, truTV)

I was all hype for betting on this, but that payoff is kind of disappoint.  Looks like many #HAILGAMBLOR devotees have the same wanking motion opinion of Fear teh Turtle as Hippo does.

#13(MW) Northeastern (+7, +255) v. #4(MW) Kansas (4:00, TNT)

Fuck Northeastern (not to be confused with Northwestern, who lost about 10 too many games to make it), they are who spawned Jim Calhoun.  But fuck Kansas MOAR, obvsly, not that it will matter much today.

#12(W) Murray State (+3.5, +150) v. #5(W) Marquette (4:30, TBS)

Murray?  Present!  And I am disappoint by my payoff yet again.  But who doesn’t want to bet against Wojo?

Hey, Fairly Terrible….errrr I mean Fairleigh Dickheads…..when you’re down by 40, celebrating a layup seems pretty stupid.

Now begins the annual question “Where the hell is truTV?

Which is the usual follow-up question to, “What the hell is truTV?”

The non-union, Mexican equivalent of Zoey Deschanel?

Horatio Cornblower

Completely off subject, but anyone else watching the last season of ‘You’re The Worst’? Two episodes to go and it has been off the charts good.

Sharkbait

I fell off of that show after season 2. It was good, I just never picked it up again

Horatio Cornblower

Season 3 pissed me off, I skipped 4, came back to see how it ends. By all accounts 2 and 5 are the best seasons, so I guess my timing was good.

Wakezilla

Wish I was watching it. In Canadia, they moved it to FXX, which I didn’t have after season 2 and I haven’t heard from it since. It’s a shame because I really enjoyed that show

found a funny:

angel: what’s wrong?

god: I can’t stop the earth spinning

angel: what are you going to do?

god: I think I’ll just call it a day

Redshirt

(an angel walk into the room and notices a disheveled God pacing back and forth)
God: “Okay, I made the earth, light, day and night. I made the sky. I made dry land, seas, and plants. I made the sun, moon, and stars. I made sea creatures and birds. I made land animals and some in my image. What else… What else…”
Angel: “Holy crap, Lord! You’ve been working yourself crazy this week and you’ve accomplished so much. You need your rest.”

Pastor: “And that how the Sabbath Day was created.”
Congregation: “Amen.”

lol my final four didn’t survive the afternoon games. Fuck basketball

Who the hell did you pick?

Nevada aint shit

herodotus450

I don’t think Florida and Nevada are ranked 10th and 7th in anything.

herodotus450

But they should be higher, like 1-2, in stuff like that. And moar liek 49-50 in something good like lack of giant ass fucking cockroaches.

Marquette has no idea how to move the ball

This Ja Morant I call him Robespierre because he is taking the heads off of Marquette

Wakezilla

Ja Morant has been dominating out there. I guess you can say, Ja Rule.

Spur

the Big East everyone

Redshirt

You know when they announced they were forgoing football to concentrate on basketball, I was under the assumption it was be good basketball.

Wakezilla

As someone who has Marquette going far, this result is not very good.

Spur

Marquette needs more soldiers out there

Ja Morant will be a Laker or Knick next year. Poor kid

Breaker Morant doing what he wants to do.

I haven’t see a dog get abused this bad since Michael Vick.

Speaking of inappropriate masturbation, my NCAA feed just had an ad for San Diego. I am seriously disappointed that the music they used was not Jackin’ It.

Dave Smart, the coach of the Carleton Ravens basketball team-the guy that won 14 national champeenships in 20 years has stepped down. Wow.

herodotus450

Shakaing things up I guess.

Wakezilla

These Kansas Jayhawks, I call chocolate because the Huskies have clearly consumed them and are now shitting themselves all over the court and is going to lead to their death.

tomsellecksmoustache

Found out our building maintenance guy like to beat off in the bathroom to stepdad/daughter porn today. Not my best day at the office.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I assume that means you’re fired?

tomsellecksmoustache

Are you hiring? Also, what’s your wifi password?

scotchnaut

[makes weird scratching noises]

herodotus450

That’s gross; I thought Ted Cruz already decreed that step MOM/son porn is the only acceptable coupling.

The would-be MAGA Bomber pleaded guilty earlier.

Goddammit Belmont, Simon is disappointed.

herodotus450

Belmont? Of the Belmont clan?

Is Canada full? Asking for a friend?

litre_cola

Tons of room, come on up.

ArmedandHammered

Kelowna is beautiful and has always been a great place when we have visited.

litre_cola

I am here right now!.

ArmedandHammered

It is one of the places we have talked about retiring to when the time comes. Has defined seasons, good food and some really decent wineries according to my wife. Plus it is quite beautiful and we can drive down to Lake Chelan in WA which we just came back from.

Just Lurking

How did you like Chelan?

ArmedandHammered

We love it, it was our 3rd visit, my wife loves the wine from the area, it is a beautiful place, and we just love the sense of the place and the local people. Right now it is our #1 retirement choice. I know it is busy in the summer but we definitely want to live in a much smaller town than Raleigh.

Just Lurking

Did you try Local Myth Pizza?

scotchnaut

Don’t know about you guys but I’m perfect in another fantasy bracket challenge. It’s in Canada so you can’t see it. Probably gonna get first prize which is sex with Shania Twain.
