That ball also includes some soccer ball and hockey ball. My protein guy-everyone has a protein guy, right?-is super pumped about his England tackling Brazil. (game is probably over by now) Don’t forget the struggling Senators are protecting their lottery position as well!
To The Games!
MSU/UNC: Izzo reminds me of Boeheim quite a bit-several trips to the Final Four with only one championship to show for it, a 71% winning rate that could have been higher if they’d not coached the last five years and related, criticisms of compiling wins as their career winds/wound down. Also, Tar Heels suck.
WSU/ISU: Look at Iowa with it’s basketball surgence (not resurgence) in America’s heartland. Suck it Indiana. WSU got here by beating up the likes of Utah Tech, Portland State and the dregs of the PAC 12. They have the feel of a one-shot team that is going to quickly disappear and go right back to the .500 ball they’ve played three of the last four years.
OAK/NCSU: Hippo not watching his alma mater has really paid off for the Wolves. This is a rare 14/11 matchup whereby one tourney darling has to head home. That’s unfortunate. I’d much prefer some random seed wreaking havoc with a bracket, slaying higher(?) seeds left and right and pissing off fans of traditional powers that believe they belong in the Sweet Sixteen and beyond.
Tex/Tenn: A bug has bitten some SEC teams but them Volunteers ruined the lives of those St. Peters boys and hardly broke a sweat. Hey Longhorns, stick to football.
DUQ/ILL: I’ve not seen either of these teams despite the fact I am constantly exposed to Big Ten basketball and the ugly countenance of Zach Eady. (who will get eaten alive in the NBA) Everyone should cheer for Doo-Kez-Ne despite the fact that the short form of their name sounds exactly like a much-hated team.
ORE/CRE: A few of the Ducks players look as though they took the weight-training portion of their fitness regimen quite seriously-there’ll be no pushing them off the block. Creighton is in Nebraska? I actually drove through rush hour traffic in Omaha when I was 14. Coincidence? Surely. Just so you know, Edward Creighton was a banker and railroad investor type that made out like a robber baron and was inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners back in 1958.
Do what you do.
We went out with my wife’s coworkers tonight and played Texas Holdem and got our shit pushed in and have had way too much to drink and had “in game adjustment” drive us home so had a good night a good night and hope y’all did too
Alao, loves y’all, youz keep me even with the jokes and smarts and random shit
/noo one does it better than DFO
4 days ago I took one of my vacuum-sealed steaks out of the deep freeze and let it thaw in the refrigerator. Today I took it out to warm it up and make a little snack. It was then I noticed the date. It has been frozen for 8 years. They say frozen vacuum-sealed meats are only good for 1-3 years.
I cut it open and there was no odor, surfaces were all normal, everything seemed normal. And this has been stored below 0ºF the whole time, I mean frozen. If there was even the slightest oddness I’d trash it, but there wasn’t even a trace.
I’m gonna’ give it a shot. What could happen? What would a Canadian do?

Best before dates are arbitrary, go for it
I already did! Let’s see if I live through the night.

Well, shit. Oregon was the only major upset pick I made in my bracket, and they came *so close*.
like oakland did earlier, they really fucked up their last possession in regulation, and it came back to bite them, too
Yep. Probably shouldn’t have even had Dante on the floor since a foul was guaranteed.
Yeah, they are very good and now they’re gonna be in the (checks notes) Patriot League?
Just got home from my AL baseball auction. What a bunch of losers. Mostly me.
Finally saw Dune 2
That actress Rebecca Ferguson seems Rocking!
Here’s another gem. I have severely edited the middle out of this one:

Bad news about Martha Ford, you guys…
https://twitter.com/NFCNorthNewss/status/1771600801619718332
She’s feeding.
Apparently this X account is the only outlet carrying this story.
If you’re telling me that Twitter/X is an unreliable source of news I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you to leave.
X is the only site brave enough to tell the truth.
O AN U NOE HIPPO GON SLEEP BULLEEE DAT CHUH CHUH
Found a funny:
Now that the government is in charge of sports betting, does that free up the mob to do like…high speed railway construction or universal healthcare?
Should take over school lunches.
Ah, that would be great. Old Italian grandmothers serving lunches and guilt. “That’s it? That’s all you’re going to take? I was working all day, I missed seeing Vinny in jail, I couldn’t bet my numbers. Fine. You want to kill me? Okay.”
Did TWBS make Litre some money?
oakland pays for that hilariously bad final possession in regulation
[brick wall breaks]
BIG MAN IN SWEET 16, OH YEAAAA
“Sweet 16” is also what he calls is standing doughnut order at the bakery down the street from his apartment.
It’s Oakland. They’ve learned from the best.
Yeah but they’re in Michigan, so it’s more likely they learned it from the Lions.
Matthew Tkachuk is a player I fucking hate to see against my team, but would do anything to have on mine.
Personally he is a knob. Rude, entitled, dickhead. Whereas Jonny Gaudreau would apologize for him.
Also I used to drink with Keith Tkachuk in Winnipeg, cementhead socially but fucking sneaky smart.
Any player who has employed the turtle shall never lead his team to glory.
TKACHUK would also be a decent scrabble draw.
Huh. I always thought the “She Believes Cup” was a competition amongst middle-aged guys to see who can do the best job of covering up their affair.

Why would she believe this thing?!
Ah well, I was hoping that U*NC would be exposed as frauds today, but I guess I’ll have to wait until next week.
Put it this way, I just texted TWBS for 2 more bills…
A very old Yahoo email address of mine somehow landed on a right-wing mailing list about a month ago. I get about two or three crazed emails a day, each calling me “patriot.” I don’t unsubscribe because of the entertainment value, but I just delete them.
Here’s the latest gem that just arrived. I’ll forward it if you want a new friend:

Hello PATRIOT,
As you know, I am a very legend rich man but I’ve come in too some legal troubles as of late. If you merely send me a 5000$ casheir check or amazon itunes giftcards I promise, on the honor, to reward you 10 fold in this life and hte next.
God Bless,
Your President
Donadl Trump
DURRR WERRE FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK> HE GETS ME.
I wonder what link the decline request button has
You probably get even more emails.
Rooting interest – the 47th President of the United States (Gretchen Whitmer) is a Sparty alumna.
you know damn well the dems are gonna nominate harris because it’s “her turn”, and preventing the gop from losing three straight yet again
now, had you said 48th president, you would’ve been correct
I am already too tired and waiting for the sun to set so I can go to sleep. All the interesting games are late, while they made the WEST REGION play on a morning body clock.
Just great work, NCAA/CBS!
THESE MICHIGAN STATE SPARTYS LEMME TELL YA I CALL THEM NANCY REAGAN BECAUSE THEY HAD A LEAD AND THEY BLEW IT SO HARD AND FAST
I see The Canadia has earned the right to join Murrika in getting the shit kicked out of them in the South American Euros. Congrats, eh?
“The South American Euros” with North American teams? I want to see this map.
International Footy is truly a Land of Contrats.
It’s 4-2 and ESPN says UNC is on “Upset Alert”.
Fox News is already calling the game in favor of Sparty.
Kari Lake files 38 motions in Arizona to stop the Spartan victory, name Trump emperor of the Dutch Empire, and a brand new 1997 Dodge Neon as compensation.
Your protein guy is probably drowning his sorrows right now…
I thought “your protein guy” was how you described yourself to the coeds at UCLA
I’m so old that the word “protein” was not used as a synonym for meat.
Back then, I was The Butcher of UCLA.
I meant more “semen”
That’s more Brick or Gumby territory…
We can work on spelling after Collingwood wins a game
