#NuAIDS Time-Delayed Madness – Sweet Sixteen y Sunday Noche Thread

Here’s where we would ordinarily start pre-dreading Monday…but there’s hoops on the schedule Monday and Tuesday!  THANKS, #NuAIDS!!  Always knew u wuz kewl.

11E UCLA (+6.5) v. 2E Alabama (7:15, TBS)

This would be such a no-contest if it were FITBAW.  But does the universe favoUr balance, giving the Conference of Shempions THREE teams in the Flacco Eight?  Hippo says YES.

7W Oregon (+2) v. 6W Southern Cal (9:45, TBS)

Should (when) the Bruins win, the number will be three fo’ sho, since this here matchup can’t end in a Draw.  Oh, I want to back Coach Andy and his Troi Boiz here, but my predicto-mind is cloudy.  Remember when he made that badass run (with his hot wife in the stands, as pictured every other minute) at the Credit Union?  That was what we called FGCU, if you can’t remember that far back.

Enjoy the games.  Talk about whatever you’d like, if PAC-tion ain’t your thing.

Reclusive, vulgar Broncos fan. Also a proud fookin' Evertonian. Likely dropped on my head repeatedly as a small child. [Insert George Carlin quote followed by thoughtful nod.]

Game Time Decision

The Ever Given is free…lol

Game Time Decision

is our broadcast day over?

Sharkbait

Be glad I left the 1kHz tone off.

In Mexico, they play the national anthem at the beginning and end of each broadcast day. If it’s a 24 hour station, it’s always at midnight.

Gumbygirl

Yay Spoiled Children! Now for some Tucch. Arrivederci!

Gumbygirl

They need to wrap this up. Stanley Tucchi is coming on in 20 minutes.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Triggered a memory. I guess these were the proto-Golden Grahams.

yeah right

We’ve got to have the battle of Los Angeles!

Gumbygirl

Gumby is currently talking shit to all of our friends from Birmingham. He’s mean, but hilarious.

Okay, not sure why TNT’s “We now join the current presentation already in progress” vignette is an overview of a seedy motel, but I guess that’s 2020+3mo. for you.

SonOfSpam

3 teams from the Pac-12 in the Flacco Eight. The seeds are 11, 12, and either a 6 or 7.

Fuck off, other conferences. (Except the Big West, obvs)

yeah right

Conference of champions! Did I ever tell the story of when I ate acid with Jerry Garcia? Awesome, epic stuff! The bike paths in this town are amazing! Have you tried the quinoa?

SonOfSpam

I AM HAPPY even if my bracket is sad.

WOO BRUINS GO DUCKS

Gumbygirl

That was a great game, I’m kind of sweaty!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

BGR, how’d you find this on twitter and not share with the class?

Does Alabama know they’re allowed to scroe in overtime?

Redshirt

That’s what happens when you get a last second 3 to tie the game. They celebrated too much and now have nothing in the tank for the extra five minutes.

Gumbygirl

OT, crazy time!

Mr. Ayo

PACtion reigns!

Horatio Cornblower

Alabama is going back to the nut-hugger shorts from the 70’s after that call.

herodotus450

Is a jersey people?

litre_cola

It makes a human sandwich.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

How am I doing in th DFO tourney pool? I have watched none of the college basketballing.

Horatio Cornblower

There are 19 contestants.

You are 19th.

Gumbygirl

So you’re saying he still has a chance!

Horatio Cornblower

I’m in 5th place, and I think we have the same chance, since I picked Illinois to win it all.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

What’s the opposite of a gently used Fleshlight? A pristine buttplug?

herodotus450

Oh great, the one year I forget to enter and get last place…

Horatio Cornblower

I’m sure you’ll still be able to come from behind.

SonOfSpam

imho UCLA should go back to their first half strategy of making difficult 3s at the end of the shot clock

Redshirt

I’ll give 42 credit. They got Crosley Field accurate when they showed Jackie Robinson getting racist taunts from Cincinnati Reds fans and Pee Wee Reese going over to first to put his arm around him as a sign of support to his (almost) hometown crowd. Too bad “progress” and I-75 had to destroy it. Riverfront Stadium had no soul to it. At least Great American Ball Park got some of it back.

BugEyedBoo

I think all of those multipurpose stadiums are all gone now, except for the one in Oakland. Probably just as well.

Horatio Cornblower

I saw a ball game at the old Veterans Memorial in Philadelphia. Easily the worst stadium experience ever.

I did get a chance to see a game in the new Cincinnati ballpark; I was pretty drunk, but recall that I liked it.

If you can’t beat them with talent, baffle them with bullshit.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I’m sure this has been posted before.comment image?w=800&h=680

I thought UMBCU was the credit union smdsdh

Redshirt

Mick Cronin’s team is in the Sweet 16?! I suddenly give a flying feather about the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball Tournament.

yeah right

I’m a Bruins supporter and I wasn’t thrilled when they hired him. Not a big fan of “rage head” coaches. The team responded though but he’s still a rage head.
Why do colleges hire head coaches whose initial default setting is “Asshole?”

Redshirt

That’s probably because he was an assistant under Bob Huggins and his default setting was an 11/10.

All the UC’s teams under Cronin were good, plus when UC/Xavier had the fight at the Crosstown Shootout, he won me over by his response. His players respond to him.
