Your “We Join The Game In Progress” College B-Ball Open Thread

The powers that be (me, apparently) have asked that someone, anyone, throw some crap against the content wall so that folks that hate Kentucky (me, again) can have a place to vent their anger. Here. We. Go.

#5 Auburn/#2 Kentucky:

The Tigers got this far because no one bothered to tell them that they’re a football school. So that means that they be swimming in unknown waters. Will their “Run, Gun, Fun In The Sun, Son” offense be enough to overcome the Wildcats’ “I’m Just Here For A Cuppa Joe And A Big Fat Cheque From An Otherwise Racist Car Dealership Owner” squadoo? Time will tell. I can’t help but think that Bruce Pearl will muck this up if it’s close towards the end. Why? He’s Bruce Pearl.

#2 Michigan State/#1 Duke:

The mayor of Lansing, Michigan, Mr. Tom Izzo is 1-11 vs. Duke. To make matters worse, local reporter assigned to the game, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, spotted an albatross this morning. I’ve read a few different articles about how to “Beat Duke!” recently. Suffice to say, running over Zion in the parking lot has only a 50% chance of being successful because he’s a very strong individual, you see.

Of course there are lesser sports on like-

Baseball-BORING!

Hockey-NOT AS BORING!

Pro Basketball-SLIGHTLY LESS BORING THAN BASEBALL!

NASCAR-(aside from the crashes) BORING!

Tennis-BOR… Actually, Federerdereder is kinda interesting to watch

NCAA Women’s Ball-Mississippi State allows *girls* to play basketball? Wow! That state really has it goin’ on these days!

Street Hockey-The Balsam Street Brawlers vs. the North Avenue Norsemen almost always results in at least one kid crying for his mom like the little bitch he is. Just pray that he doesn’t take his goalie net home with him-otherwise it’s Game Over.

Type your stupid hearts out gentlemen…

Michigan State is worse than Duke. I’m sorry, but it’s true.

litre_cola

At covering up sexual transgressions? Or paying players?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yes.

OK Sparty, take it straight at Zion and get his third. You ain’t gonna win this with him in the game.

These Spartans, I call them the 300 Spartans because they are the only thing stopping us from watching an evil, despotic empire from expanding their tyranny even further.

Over-and-Back is no longer a thing, now?

Nah the rhythm method went out of style years ago.

I was gonna do a travel ban joke but your works too.

This came to mind yesterday, and it still cracks me up.

Daily evidence that right wing trolls are incredibly horny for AOC:

Or maybe this is mocking right wing trolls? I can’t tell anymore. It’s all a blur now.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Or it is just Balls’ fan fiction.

ballsofsteelandfury

This checks out.

Redshirt

Those same Alt-Right’s who kept/keeps calling for Hillary Clinton to be imprisoned have definitely pleasured themselves to BDSM fantasies with themselves as the submissive and Hillary as the dominant.

blaxabbath

They LOVE aoc. Now that Latinas are more inappropriate than young boys, Mark Foley is a man without a party.

Pretzel get soggy when dipped in humans.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Charles Barkley needs to change his underpants. And while that’s almost always true, at least this time it’s for a good reason.

tomsellecksmoustache

I hope their parents paid for all that Final Four merch. Bruce Pearl doesn’t need any outside help to commit NCAA violations

herodotus450

Hang on a second, they got those hats for free because of their status as student-athletes! Someone alert the NCAA!
Cut to NCAA Compliance HQ:
[Phone, covered in spider webs, ringing]
[NCAA too busy sucking television contract cock to answer]
Cut back:
Well they’re probably already busy on the case.

Okay, you have the Nuclear Launch codes but you only have time to take out Duke’s basketball team or New England Patriots HQ before they reset the codes. Where do you set the destination?

Is there some way Duke and Michigan St both get knocked out here?

There’s always a chance for the meteor to quit fucking around and finally hit.

Hey Brexit isn’t technically a complete loss, yet.

“Oh good. It’s just a near-miss; not a recordable. Get that shit cleaned up.” – Me, having actually worked as a safety rep in a production environment

Redshirt

That’s true. I was once told I need to act more professional because I screamed “STOP! SHIT! STOP!” when I was about to be crushed by a moving skid of stuff. I apologized and said next time I was let them crush me to death.

Gratliff

If you can try to be crushed in such a way that would require minimal cleanup, that would be ideal. The Spice Must Flow.

LemonJello

Does this mean that Duke will lose, too? Please?

Mr. Ayo

Oh, that’s precious.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nice job Auburn!

Redshirt

Did I miss it? Did Kentucky lose yet?

theeWeeBabySeamus

If Auburn could hit FTs they would have.
But not yet.

Mr. Ayo

SEC! SEC! SEC!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Propoosed solution to late game fouling in basketball: team that gets fouled has the option of taking free throws, or knocking ten seconds off the clock and keeping the ball.

blaxabbath

What happens with possession if I take the run off?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You keep the ball. Inbounds like normal.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Kentucky is starting to piss me off.
Just die already!!!!!

There may be a spike in the number of police calls to trailer parks across Kentucky tonight.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Why, did a meth shipment get disrupted or something?

LemonJello

Jeeze, no. I said a spike in calls, not full out riots.

ThurberHerder

I mean, if the albatross was in season, he had every right to shoot

Or if the bird had a gun, then he was justified.

A: Who Cares?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Has anyone made a joke about how this is sort of an “oysters vs. squid” matchup? Get it? No? Just me, then?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I don’t get it, but I’m kinda stupid when I’m not drinking.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Pearl vs. Calamari

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ahhh!!!!! Nicely played!!!!
But now I feel even more stupid.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So is the whole “corn syrup” in beer thing something that Bud Light invented just so they could say they don’t have any in their beer? Why not go with something more ominous, like “methylchloroisothiazolinine”?

ThurberHerder

I actually prefer my root beer with as little beef of any variety as possible, thank you very much

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That is a very specific fetish.

herodotus450

The whole ad campaign is OBVIOUSLY being bankrolled by Big Oil to slander the use of subsidized corn-based products in the US, so they can’t slight anything methyl-ated.

Horatio Cornblower

Pearl v. Calipari has to be some kind of record for slime.

Col. Duke LaCross

Not even Burt Reynolds in ‘Striptease’ was as greasy as those two.

LemonJello

Does Auburn have money wagered on Kentucky to win this?

Horatio Cornblower

Well, Bruce Pearl coaches Auburn, so I’d say the odds are in your favor on that bet.

Pearl would like some of that action as well.

Alight, enough of this basketball shit. Let’s get Mania Week started with Glory Pro!

WrestleMania week is great because people who work in front of packed arenas in other countries will work a show in some dude’s garage for 5x his normal pay because wrestling fans have no idea what the value of money is.

Well yeah. That’s why Glory Hole gets the prime time slot.

She had a necklace too.

Wakezilla

Anyone have tips for buying a new laptop that will be used for mostly business stuff (invoices, pay stubs, etc) and lots of YouTube/Netflix for ToddlerZilla?

/Looks at Apple Laptop prices.

Jesus Christ, are these laptops worth all the money? Some of these laptops are selling for over 3K!

herodotus450

Open box/last model year models are my goto for Maximum Savorings.

Gratliff

Please don’t enable Apple’s bullshit. Go with an HP ProBook 450 G6 or something equivalent. As long as you have a 256+ GB SSD and 16 GB RAM, you should be golden for 7+ years. If it’s an intel processor, make sure it’s at least an i3, though I’d recommend an i5 for actual business purposes. i3/5-7XXX or i3/5-8XXX.

ThurberHerder

Dell’s corporate line has been good to me, refurbished models are cheap

Game Time Decision

Avoid Acer. They are POS. I have a Lenovo for work and it’s been the best laptop I’ve had in 12+ year of having one

Gratliff

A Lenovo ThinkPad is a solid little machine, but it is worth mentioning that they have historically had the worst trackpads in the entire industry. However, don’t know that I trust their non-business models as much.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Re: that Bull ad – based on the rumors about Michael Weatherly, I wouldn’t let him anywhere my two young daughters either.

Wakezilla

Ice Stampeders need to clinch the Pacific tonight because they’re not nearly as good on the road as they are at home. That 7th game will be huge because their goaltending has been ass lately.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I haven’t seen a Pearl that caused more trouble since my friend Kino and his wife Juana had to deal with all that…unpleasantness.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

There was the necklace.

Wakezilla

TBF, Kemp was 50lbs lighter than Zion

And has 15 more kids

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

He has a huge cock too.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It’s apparently medium sized.

Just minding my own business online and suddenly everybody’s talking about Mussolini fighting Jim Carrey and I think the Matrix may need a software update.

herodotus450

I feel like this is my last opportunity to make an Auburn joke about “gold on fire” or something, but I haven’t cracked the code on it yet.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“gold on fire” sounds like what you’d get if you asked for a golden shower from a hooker with gonorrhea.
