Night two, and you get to scan the following bullshit before turning your eyes towards the sexy thread.
15E St. Peter’s (+12.5) v. 3E Purdue (7:09, CBS)
A warning for Purdue Pete – you probably think you dodged a major bullet with this matchup. That’s what Murray State thought, too. And they are no longer present (nor did they ONCE take a lead over the Cocks). Remember Shaheen Holloway? Sure you do, he was a guard on some vaguely interesting Seton Hall squadrons, and you have to figure he will get a Big East gig pretty damned soon.
4MW Providence (+7.5) v. 1MW Kansas (7:29, TBS)
Cooley High Harmony is still kicking it, but Rock Chalk is…not a great matchup. But who knows, a Bill Self team is always capable of shitting their pants.
8E U*NC (+2.5) v. 4E UCLA (9:39, CBS)
Anyone not rooting, with all their dark hearts, for Westwood Klavern? You go to hell. You go to hell and you DIE.
11MW Iowa State (+2.5) v. 10MW Miami-FL (9:59, TBS)
It shocks me a bit that Da U is Da FavoUrite here. ML bet ahoy! I am betting on the better conference here, really. Miami really isn’t very/any good. Neither of them can stay within 20 of Kansas.
Why don’t you foul there? All you did was trade a two score game with some time left for a two score game with no time left.
In other news, MLB continues to be stupid. We may see the first on-field cavity search this season.

Way late but love that Balls’ music 30 post has 30 comments
y’all is bastard men UCLA
Y hiiPP0 haet?
Aw fuck. Not Taylor Hawkins. Fuck.
NFL Network just showed a game celebrating Joe Burrow as the #6 best QB in the league (KC-CIN Wk. 17). It had Burrow putting up amazing numbers, rewriting the record book, and it ends with him limping to the slideline holding his knee.
That’s the best microcosm I can find for the 2021 Cincinnati Bengals season.
From the Holy Shit desk at ESPN:
Saint Peter’s is the only team to win multiple games as a double-digit underdog in an NCAA tournament since the tournament expanded in 1985 (+18.5 vs Kentucky, +13 vs Purdue) per ESPN Stats and Information. The Peacocks also ended a state drought, becoming the first team from New Jersey to reach the Elite Eight since Seton Hall in 1991.
HAIL GAMBLOR
HIS WILL BE DONE
That’s Rocking!
Please use your vast internet powers to make UCLA be much MOAR rocking!!
[hoping that this is not just another Manek Friday, whoa, whoa]
I eagerly await ESPN tracking down the one, mildly Darnold-ish 1st grader who correctly has St. Peter’s and Miami in his Elite Eight.
Hoping that UCLA wins so that Bill Walton drives the “Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat of Many Colors Good Morning Starshine” bus to the Final Four site.
I will really hate Westwood Klavern forever if they cock this up. I will take tonight’s outcome as fitting reparations or a personal insult (after the Holiday Bowl shenanigans).
We Wolven Sort Like Nothing Better Than Holding a Grudge
(edited FOAR telling not spelling obvs)
Kids got a free vaca in San Diego and you didn’t lose money on ’em. Sounds like a win and you owe the Bruins an apology cake.
All Beefs Squashed With a Win TONITE
Seton Hall is gonna be mighty annoyed if they have to wait a whole ‘nother week before they can hire Shaheen Holloway.
Ink should be super dry on the contract offer by now.
LOL
St. Peter’s has more victories over #1, #2, or #3 seeds in the 8 days than Gonzaga has in the past twenty years.
Maybe we’ve been following the wrong small Jesuit school this whole time?
Hahaha!! That’s Rockingggg!!!
Let’s see: I’m rooting for UCLA because of Mick Cronin (great coach and stand up guy (hopefully this quote holds up)) and I’m rooting against Miami (FL) because of irrational hatred from them blaming the 2003 FB Championship loss to Ohio State on one bad penalty call in OT and not them looking past the Buckeyes and putting the dynasty before the horse.
To show how irrational my hatred is, to paraphrase Winston Churchill, if Michigan and Miami were playing, I would make at least a favorable reference to the Wolverines on DFO.
Could’ve had half the Elite Eight made up of Catholic schools, but Gonzaga and Providence blew it.
That is, without a doubt, the worst thing Catholicism has done to young boys.
By. Far.

St. Dong’s Urinedongs are delightful!
Way to go, Paint Seeders!
GREAT, now I have the mental image of a Home Depot employee cranking one out into a can of paint. MY MIND IS VERY BORKEN OK
Anyone not rooting, with all their dark hearts, for Westwood Klavern? You go to hell. You go to hell and you DIE.
Evening everyone. What Hippo said.
Who is Westwood Klavern? I need to know if I need to go to hell and die.
UCLA is in a smallish city called Westwood. It is an expensive little burg near Beverly Hills. And Klavern speaks for itself if you’re Hippo.
Oh good, I get to live without fear of incurring Regalian Hippopotamusian wrath.
Lotta Big Ten slander around here recently, but name me one conference that’s done better? The American Sun Belt? Ha.
ok maybe I spoke to soon.
Forgotten Big East Guys: Gene Smith from Georgetown was one of the best lockdown defenders at the guard position I’ve ever seen. He was a one-man press whenever he got on the court. As a Cuse fan, it was so frustrating that he could take out any guard whenever he wanted.
/t’was so satisfying when freshman guard Pearl Washington turned him inside out.
Former Bengal OT Fred Johnson is now a Buccaneer. May BLEERGH have mercy on Tom Brady’s knees.
Forgotten Big East Guys: Nadav Henefeld was an Isreali kid on a UConn team that finally broke through in Calhoun’s 4th year. He was 6’7″ and set the NCAA’s record for steals in his freshman year. He went back to Israel immediately and was very successful. I think he could have played in the NBA. Dictionary definition of a one-year wonder.
Also, Mr. Ayo certainly nailed it.
/pats self on back for not turning the teevee on for this tripe
//grievously injures old Hippo self
Purdue running their O through a big dude that has trouble passing back out to the perimeter is a recipe for disaster.
Sometimes you can see final results coming from a mile away.
Russia announced the “first phase” of the war is over. Sadly, I don’t think the next phase involves withdrawing back to Russia for quiet rest and contemplation over a nice cup of borscht.
Seriously though, when a delusional Putin comes on TV to declare victory and that he’s triumphantly sending his troops back home, everyone play along. We only got one shot at this.
Did someone say sexy thread?!?
Bit of ‘toe showing!
As requested:
want me to cream up that coffee?

Purdue having trouble adjusting to the speed of St. Peters.
Found a funny;
going to the gym to say ooooohhh big stretch at everyone like they’re a cat
I have seen everyone cheer for a group of Peacocks since the last Republican Convention/Klan Rally.
Immutable Law For Double Digit Seeds:
Your team must have a player that has an awkward push shot. He will hit at least one three-pointer though.
Why is St. Peter’s known as the Peacocks when the Gatekeepers would’ve been a better choice?
Because he’s a SAINT, duh! The only thing he’s allowed to do with his cock is pee.
St. Peters goes ten deep? Waaa?
Mrs. Favre sighs
vaguely interesting Seton Hall squad
There has never been an interesting Seton Hall of any kind. They were always the Wiley Coyote of the Big East from its very inception.
Wile E. Coyote is interesting. Seton Hall is not.
