Oh wow, only 8 games today and Monday. It just don’t seem FARE now, do it?
8MW Loyola-Chi**** (+7.5) v. 1MW Illinois (12:10, CBS)
We all know how magic Sister Jean is, and Porter Moser really has assembled an impressive team…but these Illini should be a mountain too tall. Betting line seems a bit light to me.
9S Wisconsin (+6.5) v. 1S Baylor (2:40, CBS)
Ha! CBS reserved this slot as a “stand alone,” thinking they would have Narrative with their precious Tar Holes. Eat shit, motherfuckers. A Bay-Bay rout of the Badgers is what you gets. But, fair play requires me to pay RESPEK to Wiscy, via the banner pic.
11MW Sillycuse (+4) v. 3MW West By God Virginia (5:10, CBS)
Huzzah, we can has a Clubhouse Derby! Two Big East refugees, as well. Scotchy no doubt appreciates the earlier “pass out” deadline, especially with Monday being a workday and all. WCS’ side sure has the look of a contender, so long as they can contain Boeheim’s spawn.
6S Texas Tech (+1.5) v. 3S Arkansas (6:10, TNT)
Finally, an excellent on-court matchup. There will be defensing. An excellent microcosm of why this tournament kicks ass – good games without fluffing “name” programs. Almost like America is temporarily a meritocracy!
I wish I disliked Syracuse and/or liked West Virginia enough to be excited about the prospect of Syracuse blowing this.
found a funny:
memory is so weird like why am I nostalgic for that apartment where I was so depressed I never got out of bed
Without giving anything away, I’ve got a new type of bread in the oven and it’s fucking insane how incredible it’s smelling in here. Holy God.
No lies detected
I think my parents stopped buying margarine around 1985, but their cupboard and freezer are still full of containers like that. That’s just good hustle!
Colin Jost is the luckiest Staten Islander since Monty fucking Capuletti.
Not sure what to root for: Syracuse, or a pile of dead hobos.
You? You’re tearing me apart.
“8 turnovers? Sounds great!”
-Andy Reid
West Virginia’s invisible sixth man apparently didn’t show up tonight.
Just wait. I have Syracuse Money Line.
Watching the “Hot Ones” episode with Scarlett Johanssen. I’d like to fuck her.
I’ve cracked open the German Yums box and it’s great. Loved all the off the snacks I’ve tried so far
Those funyun type dealies were fantastic.
MIT IODINE!
It’s iodinegesmacked.
We have yet to crack it. Mrs Cola is happy that there are 2 things with nuts in them so I can’t eat them.
Mine came yesterday, had one of the cookies (which was yummy) but nothing else yet. I need to stop eating meals so I can concentrate on snack consumption!
So long bracket. I barely knew ye.
Rapey Baylor is still alive for me but the rest is absolute carnage.
A college friend of mine is running a huge one and there are only five people left who have a lower possible final score than me.
Every time I see the Folds of Honor NASCAR race, I’m reminded of the brave men and women in this country that fuck fat people.
As a society that’s shamed the obese forever it’s pretty amazing how many people are claiming obesity to jump into the vaccination pool.
I picked a hell of a time to get in the best shape of my life.
No vaccine for you! Now go back to work!
Still trying to figure out what would possess someone to name their boba tea shop (it might be a chain for all I know) “Dingleberries.”
“Who are the ad wizards who came up with that, amiright?”
Well, you’re going there, aren’t you?
Oh hell no. I only have boba once in a rare while, and I sure won’t be going to that one. But I walk or drive past it regularly so it’s been bugging me ever since it opened.
But you are talking about it online, so *other* people might go there!
I’ve already checked out the menu and I may get me a Rosemead, CA!

It’s a shame they couldn’t get a storefront on Avenue Number 2.
I’m curious how much you have to tip for a Dirty Thai…
It’s 100 bucks. Pretty universal.
Is the free extra boba implied or do you still have to ask for it?
I’m watching an episode of trailer park boys.
That Mayer on Bay-Bay would fit right in.
Subtract the “an episode of trailer park” component and you just described Jim Jordan’s career as a wrestling coach.
Add “get raped and then not say anything”
This Toluca-Puebla game was the definition of PASTELESDEPLATANO!
Bananacakes! My rudimentary Portuguese lessons are paying off.
NICE!
I got that! I got that!
Is Baylor related to Gamblor?
*marks “Dated Simpsons Reference That Isn’t Funny” box
Wrong. “Gamblor” will always be funny forever and ever amen.
inshallah!

The “Wisconsin Back Door Maneuver” usually can’t be accomplished until you’ve been dating for awhile.
As opposed to the BYU version, which is the only maneuver that’s allowed until you’re married.

It involves more cheese than I’m comfortable with.
Safe to guess that your summer home isn’t a cottage.
Krautwig will end up being a Vermont State Trooper like Farva. Book it.
Fuck, the similarity is eerie
So hard to go from multiple games to watch down to one game at a time. I’d like to advocate for an 150 team tournament.
Or how about a losers bracket?
And quadruple elimination.
Maybe, instead of a 64-Game tournament, they could have all the teams in D-I play a bunch of games, and instead of “brackets” they could play in “conferences” and then all those teams could be narrowed down to a big group, say 64, and then those 64 teams could keep playing for the title over a couple of weeks.
Seems over-complicated, tbh
Well, there goes 25% of my Final Four, and my National Championship. Now it’s time to cry havoc and let slip the apes of chaos.
Or walk the dog, whatever.
Already did that. Out of options, releasing the apes.
Loyola’s Cameron Krutwig will never pay for a back-hair removal session in The Greater Midwest for the rest of his life.
Just sit back, enjoy the entropy!
/speaking of, where that muthafucka at?
It’s like he just sorta faded away…
Illinois is getting showed up by Paul Blart.
Originally got to Loyola on a bowling scholarship.
Please tell me that’s not a joke.
A good luck tune for Loyola

You know that an experienced coach like Moser isn’t going to make a mistake regarding stratagery in the end game.
I’m beginning to think the Big 10 might be something of a fraud.
More like the Diminutive 10
The tourney has been a ‘cold shower’ for the league, for sure.
also thinking Loyola might be going back to the Final Four
Sister Jean is clearly a witch.
Some remarkable ball movement.

Topher Grace has a new series!
Who was it who told me that Jesuits are like “the Special Forces of Catholicism?” DonT, maybe?
Wasn’t me, but I approve. Made their bones on the Inquisition, then underwent a makeover (Liberation Theology, which tbh, it’s prettay prettay good)
100% agreed! As does AOC.
They were pretty involved in the slave trade, but they’re actually addressing it in partnership with the descendants of the people they enslaved. It’s rather impressive.
Jesuits: “Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man”
Other Catholic priests: “Just give me a child until he is seven.”
Loyola’s #24 is a 37 year-old sophomore, majoring in Plumbing Arts & Sciences.
#25. Jesuits killin’ IL.

I have appreciated the flourishing of old school play this weekend. Floaters, baby hooks, the works. The look on that Abilene Christian forward’s face in the timeout huddle last night. He may be a 59% FT shooter, but he was like “I got this, y’all.”
Yeah, I found Friday games a pleasant display of basketball. Oral – OSU was great; Imma watch and root for the zealots later.
Yeah, the zealots on the hardwood are fine and dandy. Just stay outta mah politics!
God, I love an old Big East reunion.
Folks thought late-80’s NBA was rough and tough-some of those old Big East games were absolutely nuts.
I remember when they expanded the amount of fouls before fouling out to six. SIX! In a forty minute game!
oh u think Sister Jean ain’t gon’ drank??
Oh, she’s cracked open that sixer of Double IPA Ensure, for sure.
Sister Jean Genie done let Loyola out of the bottle.
she even called HOW – all defense
oy vey, Pray FOAR Fronk
Yeah. That was a shot in the ol’ dick.
MOAR LIEK Illi-nae at this point
How the hell am I 7th in DFO ball, and leading another pool I’m in?
this torneo makes no sense
