Better Know a 2018 Bracket – East and Midwest

King Hippo - March 13, 2018March 12, 2018

On this fine, soggy Tuesday (play-in fever - catch it!), we move to the right half of our scribbled bracket - the cake walk East and the Duke-fucking (ha!) Midwest. Once and again, now and forevs, YMMV. The tepid East is led by vanilla Villanova, who of course gets little to

Better Know a 2018 Bracket (South and West)

King Hippo - March 12, 2018March 12, 2018

This morning, we look at the left wing of our scribbled bracket - the medium strength South and the killer West. As always YMMV. First, the South - led by the ever-steady Tony Bennett and Wahoowa, saviour of Hole-haters like me everywhere. I went to bed angry before he beat those

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Non-Super Sunday Edition (2017 Season)

King Hippo - January 22, 2018January 21, 2018

This will be the last edition of this column for the season, as the prophecy is ended and I have no interest in repeating last season. Stupid Doug Marrone. Our beloved Jaguras, despite the even week, had the P*ts beat. They were clearly the better side, and had a fantastic gameplan that

Didya get that looking glass I sentcha? Cause we about to crash right through that mofo.... Week 19 started much like Week 5, with #OddWeekJaguras punching Yinzburgh in the mouth. Much CBS Narrative was foiled. But this time, down 28-7...Stillers fought back and made a game of it. And what a

King Hippo - January 14, 2018January 13, 2018

Hey, I guess 1 outta 2 ain't bad? Contrary to popular opinion, I stand by my assertion that Iggles/Falcons was a really good footballing contest. At least in the 2nd half, when the yips settled down. It was more about hard-hitting, proper DEFENSING FOOTBAW, like in days of yore. When I was

Charlie Kelly would have loved the Erotic Smashmouthing we saw Saturday evening. Sorry for no bonus Sunday thoughts, blame demon alcohol and that RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! loss. UGH. They will be back, and better than ever. Your smug victory is fleeting, Balls. On to Sunday. Good Lord, did #EvenWeekJaguras ever show up. Unfortunately, that

Yes indeed, we have reached the end of regulation play. To celebrate the absence of the Shitty Clippers, here are your Wild Card matchups: #5 Tennessee Titans at #4 Kansas City Chefs (4:20, ESPN/ABC) As always, KC gets the worst time slot whenever they are part of the tournament. I do believe

What wagers can I get horribly wrong today?? Gator Bowl - Louisville v. Mississippi State (Noon, ESPN) Such a shame that Dan Mullen won't be around for this, as would make for a great coaching matchup. Ville have been disappointing all season long, though, and I don't see any reason why that

I shall leave the night games alone for the night thread, I won't likely stay awake for them, anyhow. YAY, Purdue, winning me $62.50! Military Industrial Complex Bowl B - Virginia v. Navy (1:30, ESPN) It's cold as a well digger's balls on the East Coast (even as far South as Raleigh,
