Flacco Eight Preview/Game Thread (Saturday Edition)

Oh, this is an unflavored ice milk kind of tournament, no doubt. So without further ado…your first set of Flacco Eight matchups.

2W Oklahoma vs. 1W Oregon (6:09, CBS)

Nothing but chalk here. Hopefully, that streak breaks with the mildest of seeding upsets, because I will quit watching this shitshow the instant Boomer Sooner loses. I mildly dislike (Nova) to detest (U*NC) every other team remaining, and I have no intention of listening to Jim Nantz jerk them all off next weekend.

2S Villanova vs. 1S Kansas (8:49, CBS)

Definitely an old-school Johnny Reb classic in this geographically correct regional final here! Nova has been white hot all tourney long, so it would make sense for them to hit a brick wall here and lose by 40. Fuck Kansas, same boring-assed team every goddamned year.

Went to bed early and just now made some salmon and rice. I feel like a cat.

Only the whitest of trash.

That turns a Par 3 into a Par 4.

Nice.

The very definition of a “studio band”. Since we’re on the subject, I saw them headline the 1997 National Cherry Festival in Traverse City, Michigan and they were to this day the 2nd worst band I have ever seen live. But I lost my cherry that night so I ain’t mad.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Could have been just a bad night, but I’ve heard that from others too.

ALXMAC

So does Wendys have have patent on square patties or does no one else do it b/c they suck?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Good point; you don’t want to be associated with that shit.

Mr. Ayo

What’s next? 8 sided? This must be stopped!

ALXMAC

Maybe it’s like cake: everyone wants a corner piece, but I sure as shit ain’t sharing my doughnut or burger with anyone else.

I broke my own rule of; NEVER read YT comments, damn it.

ALXMAC

Not your fault. There is a reason that stereotypes are often true.

And this is the one that you don’t link. Sigh.

Watching the last quarter of Port Adelaide/St Kilda. I know I got here late. I was busy doing nothing/watching shows on Netflix I have already watched, but stopped in here and thought I should watch the end of the game.

ALXMAC

2/10 Would not eat. Where are the buns?

Just another example of why you should ALWAYS wear safety eye protection when doing activities with a possibility of projectile materials.

Man, trying to have an Australianish sleep schedule just for the weekend is rough. This game is awesome and close, but I might have to watch the second half tomorrow.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

“Australianish sleep schedule” ……several things pass by on the euphemism camera roll.

HALFTIME!

They just described the first half as ‘high-quality, pulsating footy’

Doktor Zymm

50 – 50, the announcers are digging the close game 🙂

Mr. Ayo

Did I miss the part of the newbie guide that explained all the whistles during play?

Doktor Zymm

I think it’s any time there’s a mark, a foul, out of bounds, or any other stoppage of play.

Mr. Ayo

Damn Mark, always making things complicated.

Doktor Zymm

I feel like I’m getting the hang of watching this stuff. Reading the Wikipedia article helped too.

WCS

Just getting to it now, and I see it’s 56-50 Kilda. This might actually be interesting.. that said, wifey wants to watch Big Lebowski, and I’m wasted. You’ve been warned when I post that I’m so excited that The Nihilists have gotten within six on a side kick (or your normal nomenclature; the royal miss, Dok).

Doktor Zymm

I read the preview, it was expected that Port Adelaide would win pretty easily. Not happening 🙂

Giroux was unconcious for 5-10 seconds. Flyers beat reporters already tweeting out that the training staff says he’s fine.

If Playoffs == True
Concussion = Lolz

Mr. Ayo

Just a minor upper body injury imo

Doktor Zymm

This is actually a pretty excellent game. Worth trying to find a stream for y’all who don’t have it televised.

Doktor Zymm

St Kilda doing damn well so far, excellent.

laserguru

I survived 5 bars with the DFO So-Cal chapter and I didn’t even get a lousy t-shirt.

How the fuck you doing DFO!?!?

Senor Weaselo

I feel like the key word in that is “survived.”

laserguru

Correct you are. And on second reflection I’m not sure I did.

Doktor Zymm

Wow, these people in this sport that has a lot of kicking in it are really good at kicking!

Gratliff

Flyers lose because Steve Mason gets lazy and doesn’t think he needs to bother flipping off his mask after it gets knocked loose because there’s 1.5 seconds on the clock. Giroux likely concussed. Hooray.

Doktor Zymm

I love the backwards throwin
