True story – I had to take some Benadryl yesterday afternoon, fell asleep at the Niiiiiiiice Beaver half – and missed the rest of the evening. I was suitably punished with some horrid, cold sweat nightmares at the end of my coma.
In the MOAR strange, yet still true category? Should tonight’s favoUrites hold serve, this Chaos Maximus tournament…would send three #1s and a #2 to the Raging Semis. And of course, no PAC-tion representation. That seems wrong to me, yet I am powerless to stop it.
6W Southern Cal (+8.5) v. 1W Gonzaga (7:15, TBS)
I really like how the Troi Boiz play. It took some time for the project to gel, but we can finally the free-flowing, fast-paced Credit Union teams of old. Just with, you know, premium athletes. Unfortunately, they are up against the runaway freight train Zags, who seem personally offended that Hippo had not selected them beyond the Flacco Eight in any of his brackets.
11E UCLA (+6.5) v. 1E Michigan (9:57, TBS)
Back across time zones in East Indy, their rival clan (not Klan, that’s just the FITBAW squadron) from Westwood takes on Juwan Howard’s Michigan. UCLA is pretty successful at imposing their tempo on opponents, so I’d guess the odds of an upset here are greater. It just ain’t quite as much fun, and still pretty unlikely.
Don’t forget Balls’ journey to Temptation Island, which continues later this evening.
Back in the way before time when I was growing up in the high desert surrounded by snakes and Air Force bombs and earthquakes and lizards and shit my grandfather Pa told me that “Here in Southern California we route for USC football and UCLA basketball and I took that shit to heart and it still holds true.
UCLA won Pa! I would raise a glass to you but I know MeMe would give you the stink eye even in the afterlife.
Cheers anyway.
The Dr. Mrs. – who went to law school at UCLA – didn’t want to watch. I questioned the point of rooting for a team if you weren’t going to watch them play in important games.
I’m sure that elicited a light hearted chuckle and nothing more.
She was too busy steaming the floors. She thinks it helps them win. I guess she’s right!
Never heard that euphemism, but congrats!
Bruins!!!
evening
About to see if UCLA has worked on its “desperation three” defensing…
They didn’t, but it still worked out.
Hey, so long as we got “Sad Nazi” at the end, I’m cool with it.
Why is Saul Goodman starring in what looks to be a bog-standard right wing vigilante porn moving picture? Apologies if this issue has already been fully discussed.
I’m still here for Mick Cronin’s thong-as-chin-diaper performance art.
When it gets down to UConn losing to Stanford in the final game, I’m going to be squealing like a pig.
*S Carolina
Turnover by Wagner? I haven’t seen a German drop the ball like this since Gerd Van Rundstedts handling of the Eastern Front!
/pushes WW2 history book under the rug
“Turnover” by Wagner was his worst opera.
Stanford up by 5. Now to keep that momentum.
Am watching 23 for Stanford is cold blooded.
She was kicking ass last game, too. That long 3 she hit was a fucking dagger!

Pretty stoned and very tired. Just realized I had the hoops on both my tv and my laptop.
OK, it was 15-12 before the last commercial break, now that dumb goddamned “flavor Coke” ad is on again (it deserves no U) and it’s still goddamned 15-12
On pace for a 44-16 game, how thrilling.
Check out Cardinal vs Cardinals for a better game.
Stanford is only down by 12 at the half. It’s going to be an easy climb once the shots start falling.
Matt Gaetz was interviewed by Tucker on “The Innocence Report” tonight, and he tried to drag Tucker into his mess…”like when we all went to dinner” and Tucker was all “I don’t remember anything like that” and dismissed Gaetz quickly and came back from commercial saying “Well that was the weirdest interview I’ve ever had on the show” so this is getting more fun than a G. Gordon Liddy death notification WHICH IS PRETTY FUCKING FUN.
More/Most punchable face; Matt Gaetz or Tucker Carlson?
Left hook and right cross.
Let’s call it a tie.
Yes
Stanford is only down by 9 right now. There is still time.
G. Gordon Liddy just died. It’s no Rush Limbaugh, but I’ll take it.
I have a working hypothesis that anyone who uses “First Initial, Middle Name, Last Name” is a douchebag. Liddy. J. Edgar Hoover. Some other public figures I’m forgetting, plus a few assholes I’ve met personally.
Adelson, Limbaugh, and Liddy. Nice trifecta of death for the first quarter of this calendar year.
Hope Liddy is having to hold his whole body over an open flame now.
(for those of you too young for that reference, just google “liddy hand over candle)
J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Ok, hear me out–instead of working, we just hibernate
Stanford is trailing early, but no need to fret. They can score. And they will, damn it!
Need me some South Carolina magic for a gently used fleshlight!
That will be mine!
The NCAA should really just sweep these guys off the court after 5 minutes. Like the Oscars do with playing music. let’s get to the next game, keep it moving.
NCAA kicks Oregon State Beavers out of hotel in the middle of the night after Elite 8 loss (yahoo.com)
Another reminder that NCAA considers student athletes as indentured servants.
Eh, if you’re not going to be playing with a Beaver any more, you don’t want it hanging around your hotel room.
I hope they at least got to shower. Can you imagine the smell of all those sweaty Beavers on an airplane?
How was Gonzaga able to schedule a cupcake school in the Elite Eight round?
Classic West Coast favoritism in sprots, YET AGAIN.
Party at Weaselo’s! I can mail you a coupon for a sleeping bag HINT
I upgraded my modem to a 28.8 and the site has been working fine, ya’ll should try it.
Can I borrow your AOL CD?
Oooh Mr Fancypants, I get my god damn interwebs from a floppy and I do just fine. Any day that Limewire porno will come through? Will it be good? Who knows? That’s part of the thrill! Maybe it will be a nubile Nina Harley?
I hope its done soon. I’ve got a couple Spin Doctors tracks waiting to download from Napster.
You think. Its probably some Nineh Cherry with a side of malware.
Just go ahead now.
My modem hasn’t failed me, yet.
I’m in! I would hope this is rectified tomorrow.
Gonzaga is good at the hoopz.
Nothing worse than getting a cheese and not knowing if the rind is supposed to be eaten or not.
Coach Andy is going Full Pete Gillen with his timeouts, and I can’t really blame him
I thought driving 90 miles to get the vaccine was too bad, but I was mistaken; someone else drove 120 miles to get the vaccine.
Also, in addition to getting the vaccine, as an small, additional “go fornicate yourself” to the anti-vaxxers and pretty much the Republican Party AND in the spirit of baseball starting this week, I’m setting you up with a hanging breaking ball over the plate, the instrument of my COVID-19 salvation and a return to normalcy was given to me on Gay Street.
Fabulous!

“What, do I owe you money or something?”

Troi Boiz against (nae 2) Men, it seems
Dead ref! Dead ref!
/wonders if that was an available prop bet
//re-confirms Hell reservations
Do they have backups or do they continue with one less BLEERGH minion?
They have an alternate.
Sadly, this one seems fully operational.
Pretty sure they bring in the crew from UConn-Baylor and just let everything go to hell.
We bacc??
Website still has to be reloaded when you post something, but it seems a bit faster. Other than that, they still have less than a month before the draft to finish debugging.
