Giant, prolapsed assholes. Sorry, we’s not supposed to use swears in the title line.
But yeah, these two plastic squadrons are expected to win their domestic leagues in their sleep. As such, Shempions League is their exclusive “dick measuring” domain, and one is about to go out before the Flacco Eight. Which will mean recriminations and firings, bare minimum.
Coverage starts at 3p EST, on CBS and TUDN (en espanol). Should be tense and maybe we’ll even get a fight or three.
Various ESPNs also probably have early round JV hoopsball conference tourneys. I am still yet to watch any basketball all season, and am a bit surprised to not really miss it.
Enjoy your Wednesday afternoon in the void.
Welp, there it is.

So long Jim, we hardly knew you.
You northeast guys gonna be ok? We know how much you cherished him.
It’s a bit weird when I think about it. As a kid I just liked Big East basketball more than any other league at the time and I thought the Orange were interesting and then they signed that Canuck kid Leo Rautins so I was interested in his progress. The intensity of the play made the ACC, PAC10 and the Big 10 look like inferior leagues in my eyes. They had some amazing recruiting classes, the rivalries caught fire and I was a Cuse fan.
/it had absolutely nothing to do with the coach for several years until the ‘can’t win the big one’ narrative surfaced
//my fave ball team has only had one coach the entire time I’ve cheered for them, which is about 41 of the 47 years he was there
To offset Hippo not watching any college ball this year, I’ll be pitching in and watching the Women’s Big Sky Champeenship. It’s all about balance and we’re a bit off-kilter right now.
Goodnight Spurs.
I have to drive to Petsmart. It takes like 15 minutes, but it feels like driving to the moon. I’ll see how I feel about it after I eat something.
Maybe you’ll see Miss Hoover there.
I should have known not to believe the hype for this football match. After all, it’s a sequel.
was it equal, or did they make it through?
It’s really making me long for a nap.
ESPN speculating that Boeheim is retiring.
Never mind; they’re clearly going to have to drag him out feet first.

Boeheim’s favorite game as a child must have been, “When are you going to stop punching yourself in the face”.
Are you quitting now? [punches kid in face with kid’s hand] how about now? [does it again]
Good ol’ rock, nuthin’ beats rock!
Scotchy, I’m getting this from Uconn twitter, so it might be a tad biased, but did Syracuse go way down early, switch to a man press and fight almost all the way back, only for Jim to immediately switch back to the 2-3 zone?
They were up early, then were down by 8-10, switched to a press, took the lead with the press and then nestled back down into the zone and waited for Wake to catch up again.
Boeheim: [in a timeout] “Listen guys, we’re going to stop doing what’s working and get back to Old Reliable.”
Your Cleveland Browns, everybody!

That’ll rub some people the wrong way.
By GAWD, that’s Johnny Gill’s music!
So, what are we watching? Footie? Lesser JV hoops?
Kate Abdo?
I’ll want to be watching the back of my eyelids in about 90 minutes, but that won’t be an option at that point.
You got a couch ready to burn for yinz Fuckers du Cousins?
Winning the Big 12 Minus Two Tournament this season would be a top-5 career accomplishment for Huggs. And they every well might. They could also lose to Texas Tech in the first round (tonight on TWWL JV!) by 15.
That’s the conference tournament I would watch. Is like the ACC was in the 80s
Swap designer molly for cocaine, and you’d never know the difference.
Hooked on Classic #842:
#4 for Wake Forest looks like he’s 14, and has the voice of a 45-year-old smoker.
Cuse relies on an off-balance fadeaway three pointer for the winning bucket. (after a timeout, btw) What a putz of a team.
It’s been four long years of watching that chubby chucker Joe Girard-at least he’s gone, finally.
Can’t he use a COVID year to come back?
Yes, but speculation is that both he and Edwards are leaving-Edwards to play ball in Europe, Girard to play ball at The Y.
Milan is in London town tonight also.
oh man, that is perfection right there
/shoulders intensify
HIPPO WANT!
I’m predicting Milan 2-0 Spurs, 3-0 agg.
I’m completely missing the point here, but is there a professional soccer team Emirates Air doesn’t sponsor?

Jeebus, the audio is about 6 seconds ahead of the play.
Love that Starwipe Network! Forget about the broadcast quality, the fact that the financials are going to torpedo the entire league. John Swofford secured easy jobs for his buddies and shitty kid. #LegacyBuilt
Sillycuse is slowly melting down Wake Forest, as was foretold.
how hot burns y’all’s NIT Fever??
Jim Boeheim’s not going to rush into any decisions yet, and will do so as he chooses. He’s earned that right, and you’re a complete disgrace for even questioning his methods. Just ask him.
/waits for Jim to finish picking his nose first
//still waiting
Or the AD or the school president.
They might be good at knitting, they’ve got to be good at something.
