Your 2019 Banner Tournament Championship and Flacco Eight Saturday Evening Open Thread

We got a big one going tonight, so let’s get started. We’ll start off with the lesser important stuff.

NCAA Tournament Action: It’s the Flacco Eight! Winners move to the Wrongly-Named Four.
West Regional Final: #1 Gonzaga vs. #3 Texas Tech (6:09 Eastern, TBS)
South Regional Final: #1 Virginia vs. #3 Purdue (8:49 Eastern, TBS)

Didn’t the Flacco Eight use to be on CBS? What’s going to be on instead? (Probably an episode of Young Sheldon, because.)

Other Sports
Women’s NCAA Tournament: Chi**** Regional Semifinal, #2 Stanford vs. #11 Missouri State (6:00, ESPN2)
UFC: People fighting on ESPN, don’t ask me who (started already)
Boxing: Other people fighting on ESPN, still don’t ask me who (10:00, ESPN)
NBA: Raptors @ Bulls (8:00, TSN)
MLB: Giants @ Padres (8:40, FS1)

Okay, unimportant stuff over. Tonight a championship is fought over. But let’s go to the results to see what will square off. Your Penultimate Four results!

1BL. “Aaron Hernandez (neck) out indefinitely” beats 2G. “‘…the calming effect Tony[ ]Dungy had on the high-strung quarterback.’—If only he had that calming effect on his high strung son.” 32-13

4S. “I see they’re honoring Joe Paterno’s 50th anniversary of the first game he coached. To start the game, they will have 40 years worth of moments of silence.” beats 13BO. “I haven’t seen a group of Saudis go down in flames like this since 9/11” 26-19

And now it is time for the championship.

Yes, we actually did get “Sweet Victory.” Now, CHOOSE YOUR CHAMPION!

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

You have until 10:59:59 PM DFO time TOMORROW, March 31st, because that’s 23:59:59 here on the East Coast. So it’s still March when it ends. When you next hear from me, we’ll know the winner and the authors of each banner quote.

Purdue oversold that no-call foul more than Shawn Michaels oversold for Hogan at Summerslam.

Brocky

I know right!

Mr. Ayo

Another number one bites the dust.

Sorry, meant to post later.

Brocky

Okay that was horseshit.

Brocky

Purdue flopping like they think they’ll get calls like they’re dike

Gratliff

Some fuckery is exactly what this game was missing

Brocky

I thought that was the correct call. No way a shove could have that much force

WCS

Crazy fucking game.

“Kyle Guy” sounds like someone got bored halfway through creating a player in Madden.

SonOfSpam

This Purdue guy Carsen is so good Dean Spanos is about to move into his house.

theeWeeBabySeamus

It’s all fun and games until the black guy with blonde hair comes into the game.

SonOfSpam

You watching US Mens Soccer with Gyassi Zardes?

I feel like 90% of conversations I’ve heard about larry bird are old white people trying to convince me he was better than michael jordan

You think you have no life?

I just entertained myself by chasing my dog with his own food bowl. That little wuss needs to toughen up

Gratliff

Welp, Purdue is right back on its bullshit

theeWeeBabySeamus

UVa will wear them down. No worries.

Mr. Ayo

This doesn’t appear to be happening yet.

So I can claim psychosis should I have the opportunity to beat the piss out of him?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I will help. My shovel has two great uses.

SonOfSpam

I will provide an alibi. You guys were cucking my wife whilst I jerked it in a nearby closet.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You KNOW they will believe that one. I have some toll booth receipts that will help.

herodotus450

If Tech holds on here that’ll add one more year to my unbroken streak of not needing to know where Gonzaga is actually located.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Tech? Try rebooting.

yeah right

Left to my own devices for dinner so…
Order in? Get a sandwich or a pizza?

Nah.

Seared New York strip steak and a baked potato with a pan sauce made from pure Irish butter, shallot, garlic and dijon mustard. Paired with a 2016 Sonoma Valley pinot noir.

Watching that steak sizzle in the smoking hot cast iron was boner inducing!

What did ya’ll have?

GOD DAMN!

SonOfSpam

I had some peanuts an hour ago. CHECK and MATE.

Evenin internet friends. That play just now by Guns Up was fucking ridiculous.

Come on, you “Guns Up!” dickheads. The Big 12 (minus two) needs this. That, and Gonzaga can fall off a cliff.

Is there a poll?

I usually ask “Is there a pole” when I’m invited to a bar.

Mr. Ayo

Missing a pole.
