Let The Smadness Begin – The DFO 2025 NCAA Basketball Playoffs Preview

Well, the Ides of March have passed, and there were no emperor stabbings. I did not vote by double-secret absentee military fake ballot for my senators to spend the Ides idly. Alas, we must find other distractions until football season starts anew. So we'll turn our attention to the hardwood and

Updates From The VOID – Saturday Open Thread

I thought this was the first time I'd be playing Substitute Teacher for Ye Olde Hippo but I discovered that I had previously substituted when he decided to boycott the Super Bowl when Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Bucs beat the same KC Chiefs playing the Philly Eagles in

Another Year, Another FA Cup Weekend

Upon popular request (wait, is Spam popular???) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAFuD-S-e_E I had intended to do a longer piece explaining some of Lesser Footy's HippoSPEEK.  But I had too much stupid work to do this week, and my mind is forked beyond recognition.  Hate week, though.  I do have time and hate in my heart
