2022 Post-Plague Madness – Thursday Session the First

Hey howdy, imaginary friend-erinos!  Have you enjoyed the last few weeks of sportsball respite? FUCK NO, YOU DIDN'T.  Neither did Hippo.  And especially not Other Hippo obvs.  Let's look into the first orgy of basketballing matchups, shall we? (also Happy Alcoholism Day, if y'all happen to be Irish) 11S Michigan (-2.5) v. 6S Colorado

AFL Beat! AFLW Finals and AFL previews!

This week, the regular season ended. Also, I must share this glorious mullet once again: And I must share two more things: Our Collingwood hero has fixed his glassesAnd he has gone full blond! Welcome to Balls of Steel's AFL Beat! Finals are about to start! Let's get right to it! *** Week 10

Nighttime Conference Tourney Thread-erino

The Lesser Footy was...less than engaging.  As such, I didn't really learn anything.  Let's talk about conference tournament finals instead: Texas Tech (+2) v.
