Smarch Smadness and EPL Open Thread

I can nae force myself to be arsed (with watching or previewing), but at least you get a cheerleader pic.  My inner pervert ALWAYS wins.  Also, congrats to the Cornfuckers for winning their first ever NCAAT fixture in program history.  No, that is not a typo nor an exaggeration.

The footy schedule is very jumbled today, due to European rake-stepping (LOL at Geordie Arabia especially) and tomorrow’s Arsenal/City of Men Caribou final.  Obviously, I’ve nothing to say about the Redshite match (which janky officiating will surely fuck over the Trashbirds), so the action starts at 11a.

Mighty White hosting Team White Lives Matter!  I hope this makes it onto prison rec room TVs everywhere.  We all look forward to Litre’s unquenchable rage at Boo-urnley manager Rough Trade Scott Parker.

Two MOAR single-header windows follow, with So Very Mid Everton hosting in-usual-turmoil Chelski (1:30, NBC/USA/Peacock??).  If Hippo’s Toffees want to even PRETEND like they are chasing Zooropa (A or B) adventure, they have to take all 3 points here.  Otherwise, it’s completely over.  Win, and we are back to “very outside chance” – which is about as good as it gets for us.  As we say – Everton, that..

Beesus is also chasing Europe, and they are away to Leeds at 4p.  It’s juuuuussssstttttt fringe-possible that Leeds could fall into the relegation slap-fight.  But they have to keep losing matches like this (and today feels very Draw-y to Hippo).

Sunday brings early Northeastern HATE (Sunderland/Barcodes, nae Yanks/Sawx thank fuck – 8:00, USA), followed by the Crucial Relegation Six Pointer (expect to hear that phrase over and over) that is Spurs home to Robins Hood (10:15, USA/Peacock).

That aforementioned Caribou title is at 12:30 (ESPN+), but nobody really cares.  Such is life.

Its Smarch and 103 degrees here, how the fuck do you live here year round Blax?

ASU fans all exited at the prospect of hiring St Mary’s Bennett, a Mesa boy just like our own LitreCola.

Never been a fan of Texas Christians until just about now.

blaxabbath

Last time I thought some Texas Christians might have had a good point, the Federal government killed them all and the kids and reminded me that there’s always someone worse.

Also – after they got murdered in that bug football game, I just don’t take anything about that program seriously.

Score Update:

Duke losing to TCU 7-7 early in the 1st half.

Louisville pressing down by 11 with 29 seconds left. Just fuckoff, why don’t ya?

My Canadian youtube algorithm keeps sending me “We left 20lbs of rotten apples and pumpkins under this oak tree-how does this affect the local ecosystem and the Maple Leafs chances of making the playoffs” videos. How do I make it stop?

Doktor Zymm

Does pretending to be Quebecois help or do they just switch to the Habs?

blaxabbath

I’m watching Louisville v Sparty. This 15 on Lville looks like he’s never dribbled a ball before. How little money these schools spending on basketball? UA spent 22 million this season.

Unsurprised

In the grim dark future, there is only shame pizza.

It’s delivered by Cthulhu and he wants a 45% tip and to smell your underwear. That’s how bad the future is.

I really like VCU’s path-they beat an over-seeded UNC and now they get an over-seeded Big Whatever squad in Illinois. After a loss back on January 10th they’ve gone on a great run, having only lost one game since.

Damn, I really miss playing basketball competitively.

Trump posted about Mueller “Good. I’m glad he’s dead. He can’t hurt innocent people anymore.”
I’m hanging on to this one…

Don T

Obviously referring to Mueller’s investigation on the NFL NOT having received the Ray Rice elevator tape /yooge wink, sprains neck
Sad day for exonerators everywhere 🤪

Unsurprised

Stupid YouTube age-blocking the video. It doesn’t carry the same weight as hearing him say it.

Mueller had a stricter standard of review than NFL replay.

blaxabbath

Eh. It’d be a headline if he or any of his trash cult considered anything better

scotchnaut

Good afternoon. I shan’t be watching basketball today, mainly because I don’t care. But I did enjoy watching that Kentucky game with Horatio yesterday.

I’m not sure who I’m more embarrassed for: Saint Louis who is being murderdeathkilled by Michigan or MC Hammer in that hardware commercial.

It’s an insurance commercial.

You pay attention to the commercials?

Unsurprised

It seems like a safe bet to just assume it’s insurance.

Since when do hardware stores advertise during sports?

Last weekends blizzard has resulted in working today.
I mean I say work…

Robert Mueller died, which is a shame because I’m not sure Trump will ever be prosecuted now.

Redshirt

I mean there is Hell to look forward to. Knowing that Trump is going to spend eternally being tortured by the flames of Hell due to all his sins kind of makes up for the nightmare we’re in now…I guess.

LemonJello

No, no it does not.

scotchnaut

Get a load of this guy that believes in an actual hell.

Redshirt

The theory of Creationism includes Heaven and Hell would also extend to the concept of Good and Evil. By dismissing Creationism, the dominate remaining theory is Evolutionism which would suggest that Trump is the result of evolution and natural selection.

Based on the available evidence and for the sake of my sanity, I prefer to believe Trump is the result of Evil than of Evolution.

Today’s Facebook Marketplace Adventure:

-this morning youngest kid sees a sectional couch for sale, brand new, great price

-owner says, “I’m here all day, drop by and grab it”

-the kid, who drives a tractor-trailer for us but is not insured for a 3 ton box truck (a story for another time) ropes me into coming along with him and his girlfriend because I, who never delivers any more, is insured for that vehicle

-halfway there the couch owner texts my son saying he’ll be gone for three hours but he can slide open the kitchen window and let himself in

-90lb girlfriend barely fits into window, has to avoid the dishes in the sink.

-owner didn’t bother telling my kid that he would have to bring a ratchet wrench to get the couch out the house

-meanwhile, I have to explain to a neighbor this entire dumb circumstance because it sure as hell looks like a robbery

/I’d love to see what my blood pressure would have been while we drove away.

Here’s what I know about scotchnaut now:

He’s not black.

You kinda nailed that observation. Kudos!

Landed in Phoenix to see Mighty Whitey won and Hearts did too. Will have a happy start to vacation

Record heat is on! They canceled the little league game after ours at like noon.

I wish someone would teleport me to a Waffle House. I’m hungry, but lazy.

Horatio Cornblower

As I said somewhere else, that FEMA guy is pretty obviously batshit insane, but he’s hardly the first person to come to in a Waffle House with no idea how he got there.

Gumbygirl

It is known.

Horatio Cornblower

Speaking as an Arsenal fan I could give two fucks about the Caribou Cup, or whatever it is.

Start the U-17s and let everyone else rest.

Speaking as a UConn fan, hoo boy, are we fucked against UCLA unless our starting PG gets very healthy very quickly, and it would help if that UCLA guy who got hurt yesterday does the opposite.

blaxabbath

Fuck UCLA.

Gumbygirl

I picked them to win it all!

SonOfSpam

AND YOU’RE WINNING THE GROUP SO FAR!

He’s got a day to rest. Now that they’ve got pro level money don’t they also have pro level dirt to rub on injuries (aka extra strong class 1 druggs)?

Great save there by Verbruggen to get a hand on, or even see, that shot from Jones.

If we’re doing ‘unlikely’ crushes, Janis Mackey-Freyer is a Canadian journalist/reporter that worked the international beat for CTV News for a dozen years before moving on to NBC. If her husband were ever to go missing I hope I have a good alibi.

Buenas, buenas. I fear U.N. special rapporteur Francesca Albanese is a MAJOR crush. Her commitment for truth and against injustice, plus unrivaled earring game, is 😍

Has she DONE THE RIGHT THING and accused the U.N. of not doing enough to end the Dumb Iran War?

I refuse to acknowledge her ring.

“This ring? It’s purely ornamental“, she whispers into Don T’s ear after explaining the ties between Hezbollah and Hamas. “My hotel room is just around the corner-care to go for a short walk?”

Trick is to go to bed at six.

Unsurprised

But at least I’m not alone.

/hugs phone

ballsofsteelandfury

I woke up at 6.

Currently pooping Butters-style.

Have a wonderful Saturday, everyone!

Unsurprised

Same.

Horatio Cornblower

I woke up at 5:55 am, because the cat was hungry.

Then I went back to bed until 10:00 am, because I am a grown-ass adult and you can do that on a Saturday.
