The Lesser Footy was…less than engaging. As such, I didn’t really learn anything. Let’s talk about conference tournament finals instead:
Texas Tech (+2) v. Kansas (6:00, ESPN)
I don’t really watch regular season (other than Wolven Sort shitshow performance art), but the talking heads have been on and on regarding how great their two regular season matchups were. As such, Rock Chalk will win by 15+ – because we can’t have nice things (except the Guns Up!! girls, obvs).
San Diego State (-2) v. Boise State (6:00, CBS)
No, this isn’t a run-heavy football contest. Instead, you get lots of halfcourt defending. Do we want the JV BOLTMEN!! here? Kind of??
Creighton (+6.5) v. Villanova (6:30, Fox)
I have a Creigh-Creigh feeling here, but it’s probably just gas and/or a stroke. The non-Canadia Blue Jays have never won the Big East, so this could be the last domino to fall for the New Jesuit World Order.
Virginia Tech (+6) v. Kansas (8:30, ESPN)
Fuck a duck, it’s hard to admit…but we’s all Castrated Turkeys tonight. I imagine there was mass Seppuku in the Bristol HQ when U*NC lost last night. BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Fuck you, schadenfreude IS ALL I HAVE LEFT.
UCLA (+1) v. Arizona (9:00, Fox)
This almost qualifies as a Tweaker Fixture ™ – but we’ll need 3+ OTs to get past midnight. Kudos to West Coast hoopsball for getting semi-relevant again, and to Cronin’s Bruins for not suffering a major hangover after last season’s Cinderella run. This could be a good game, but I will clearly be asleep before it ends.

Just started my St Patrick’s day celebration with an Irish car bomb. Second time I have had one in my life, and it’s just as good as I remember.
As an old bastard who’s lived through a recession or two you just got to cut back on the non essentials to pay for your gas.
For the record I gassed up at 5.69 a gallon today.
Truth.
So I’ve supplemented by cooking all of my own food. Been 3 weeks since somebody but myself cooked my meal.
We can make adjustments.
I paid $5.79 on Thursday, in Redlands. But I too am old, and I remember those golden days of yore when we were only allowed to get gas on odd or even days. It will get better eventually.
Hooking my dentist up with his boat payment. A couple three weeks ago I had to have a crown replaced. He has one of those machines that makes the crown right in the office, which is pretty cool but not $500 after insurance cool. Then this evening one of the crowns on the bottom broke; the porcelain/ceramic/whatever broke off of the metal underneath. It doesn’t particularly hurt, but I can’t stop messing with it.
I’m gonna blame it on my old dentist. He was a nice guy but milked extra procedures for all they’re worth. “You need these antibiotic shots under the gumline.” “You need mouth cancer screening.” “You need this new periodontal rinse treatment because it turns out the antibiotics under the gumline don’t work.”
Your old dentist sounds like my work buddy’s doctor. My friend jokes that he met all of his doctor’s golf buddies through all the referrals…
That’s horrible. I was lucky and I’ve still got 2 gold crowns from, I’m gonna say 1972 and they’re still well golden.
I had a crown replaced with a gold crown; it cost the same to get a gold pimp tooth-looking crown as it did to get a porcelain crown, so hell yeah! The gold would never ever crack like the porcelain did/does, but the tooth decayed underneath it and it just broke off one day. Just a couple of little slivers left at the gumline, and a big ol’ chunk of tooth in the crown. It had had a root canal already, so no pain. But it was pretty nasty looking.
I watched a movie with the wife instead of the basketball, (Motherless Brooklyn: I liked it, the Mrs. did not), but logging back in to see that the script for the Coach K retirement tour is reading like I wrote it is making me quite tumescent.

Read a report that since police cops here in USA have so much excessive gear/weapons, they are sending it to support our friends in Ukraine.
That’s Rockinggggg, I guess…
https://gizmodo.com/us-police-ship-body-armor-to-ukraine-amid-russian-war-1848638015/amp
The only thing rocking about it ia that they’re giving it away.
Seriously, the Willimantic police have, 5 miles from my house, an armored personnel carrier parked in the rear of their station. It recently moved for the first time
In years, because the town built a parking garage over the spot where it had been sitting, slowly sinking into the asphalt. They could not even drive it around for parades because it was too heavy for the roads and would tear up the asphalt.
Fucking wannabe commandos.
Tech beating Dook is like watching the Ratbirds beat the GREATRIOTS.
No one truly wins.
My friend, when Duke loses we *all* win.
I’ve probably watched 12 UCLA games this season and I’ve seen all 7 of their losses.
They must be relieved that Bill Walton isn’t passing daily judgment like Magic is for the Lakers.
You’re forbidden from watching any more games.
Blax and Barry Goldwater’s ghost can rest easy tonite. And I lost the bet against myself.
To contrast, Michigan went ELEVEN MINUTES down the stretch of the game I saw earlier this week, without making a FG

I swear to fuck there was once a video of Homer Simpson dancing to this (also uncensored)
Anyone else pissed about and unprepared for daylight savings time?
oh shit, is that tonight
tis
Yes and no. Wait, yes and yes.
I got up at 10:42 this morning, if that answers your question
wait, you need Indeed to hire mechanics? Don’t you just ask around one’s biker gang?
You’d think my 4 hour nap would suffice to get my old ass through the end of this legitimately entertaining PACtion. But I’d bet against me.
You have a half an hour to go. Bet on something.
I almost jinx bet on Duke when VPI went up 10, but was too lazy. YAY ME!!!
/also Blax must have given them Kittehs a good halftime talk
Fuck this game is good.
Granted, I ain’t seen very much hoopsball. But UCLA and AZ look better than anyone else to my tired East Coast-biased eyes.
*places bet*

This song just might be perfect.
Amen
I heard this on Sirius yesterday. Love it!
One of my favorites.
I’m gonna grab my earbuds hang on.
Oh yeah.
Both Duke and Kentucky lost. Today has been a good day.
Way ahead of you!
Wooooohooo my Blazers!
I called them the UAB My Morning Jackets before it was cool.
Someone down below said something about Seattle ghosts;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_siJRgDlddY
Lambeau doesn’t care for the Oilers-Lightning game.
GOOD BOY
Negotiations with Rodgers have been tough on everyone.
Lambeau is a better option in goal than whatever Edmonton rolled out there.
Just watched a documentary on Harry Nilsson and now I’m bummed we lost him that early. Absolutely loved that man.

Super good!
Speaking of Touch of Downs, with Coach Carroll be interested in huim, once Black Panthers acquire ThShaun??
I thought Carroll might be getting TheShaun. He’s now completely exonerated, unlike those fishy steel beams.
So you can helicopter your junk, be super creepy and touchy at Houston area masseuse parloUrs and its not criminal?
Completely exonerated.
Believe All Women (unless a quarterback is accused)
Of course not!
-R. Kraft
Nah, ThShaun still wants to throw too many times for Grandpa. An extra sticker here and there, Darnold will do whatever he’s told.
And thanks to Cobain, Seattle’s full of ghosts for Durrnold to see!

I am not smrt enough to charge my phone. It went from 14% to 16% in an hour ir so. Operator error. My Blazers are winning, woot! See ya later, when I figure out this tricksy electricity thing.
Let’s get the party started!

That movie is still hilarious
So good
BTW, if you have a dad or a son, The Adam Project on Netflix is fantastic.
If you can get over Ryan’s sense of humor.
This is a great tune.
Evening. Went to two of my favorite breweries tonight, and with lady BFC out of town, I’m going to pick up a pizza and plow through some high quality beers in the future.
Huh, I’ve never seen escorts referred to as beers before.
You gotta hope they’re not too yeasty, but you want some hops. That’s what I hear, anyway!
Bravo. Did not see that coming from you. Well played.
I contain multitudes.

oh, Mr. Ayo – I forgot to thank you for the gently-used Charmslinger. Donks WOO!!!
I am quite displeased by this turn of events. Now all my local teams suck again.
Also, this your future with Mr. Unlimited.
Local hockey team continuing the “let the opposing goalie get rusty so we can score later” strategy, now outshot 31-5 through 2 periods.
“Outshot through two periods”? I told you the Red Wings shouldn’t have signed that female goalie!
/this is a horrible joke. You’re welcome.
I was going to craft a Texas adjacent reply, but I am not nearly clever enough to execute it. Unlike Texas, of course.
You can wire hanger your hat on this joke
Hopefully warriors vs bucks is Rockingggg
Sorry, Jays. Sometimes you’re the priest, but sometimes you gotta take it like an altar boy.
“Critics agree: ‘The Batman’ is the greatest superhero movie ever made.”
/talk about straddling a low bar…
I consider Javier Bardem’s “No Country For Old Men” character a superhero. So I’d nominate that.
This joke may be offensive, but it still applies.

Spider monkey wants to tear your balls off:
Imagine the handjob before though.
Spider monkey, spider monkey
Does whatever a spider monkey does.
Rips your face off,
Shits down your throat-
Here comes a spider monkey man
I am still laughing at this.
I’m still doing something else at this.
And I’m done.
Jeebus done abandoned the lads from CreighCreigh.

Fack you, we’re still in winter
Oh Calgary has a Tckanhkuk, of the Tckanhkuk clan…
All 4 of the intermission announcers are wearing toques. No, seriously-it’s a good look!
There ain’t many actual Duke grads ’round these parts (ie, I ain’t live in New Jersey). Think maybe I can order a #ShamePizza and have it arrive before Tuesday.
It’ll be here by 9, HUZZAH!!!
No cheese means you’re getting a #SadPizza.
Those Dukies won’t even spit on it because you’re causing yourself enough suffering.
It’s not even a pizza without cheese, it’s some sort of sandwich
Wouldn’t that be a #SadCalzone?
I have made basically a #SadCalzone before, with ground sausage, mater sauce, and pita bread.
What in the actual fuck?

Let me try.
Nevermind, I suck too.
I’d trade 19 shots for 1 goal.

Why didn’t he tell him he was going to die on the toilet?
Just for the lolz.

Ahhh, so he did tell him:
J: You’re going to die on the throne.
E: That’s great!
J: lol
E: Wait, what?
SOLD!
I knew I didn’t want to eat brains.
If Juatin Kier can handle UCLA with competence then I’ve got completw confidence in a CATS Final Four run.
The Duke hate is so (justifiably) strong, Hippo couldn’t type the word in the preview.
That’s good hate!

Finally understanding this joke out here in New England rite now…
wait wait wait…there’s a “new” England???
It’s a real weenie shrinker Down South, even!
Amari Cooper leaves the N-GCp for #The Pauls! And there is talk of them also trading Murder Guy, who would be a perfect fit in DonksLand. FUN!!
In light of the most recent lawsuit, is Jones’ nickname now Daddy-J?
I am expecting some lovely crowd chants out of the Giants and Iggles next season.
If Amari didn’t like Canned Ham, he’s going to love his local Baker.
