As y'all may have heard...we had Lesser Footy WWIII this past week. Of course, there are still fixtures this morning (Hammers/Chelski being the highlight, spotlighted at 12:30 on Big Boy NBC)...but there's a turd in the punchbowl, over-powering the flavoUr. DFO's crack(head) team of Lesser enthusiasts tackle the big issues! Hippo

All good things come to an end. The same maxim applies to Wahoowa's two year reign as Hoopsball Shempions, provided we don't have a zombie apocalypse prevent the conclusion of Zags v. Bay-Bay tonight. West Indy against South Indy, in the clash of our lifetimes! Everton threw away a win against

And then there wuz FOUR. Rage on, y'all! 2MW Houston (+5) v. 1S Baylor (5:14, CBS) All Texas early on, but not with the squadrons one is used to seeing. It's been easy to overlook, overshadowed by Gonzaga's dominance, but the JV 500s and Bay-Bay have looked mighty strong, too.

King Hippo - March 30, 2021March 30, 2021

True story - I had to take some Benadryl yesterday afternoon, fell asleep at the Niiiiiiiice Beaver half - and missed the rest of the evening. I was suitably punished with some horrid, cold sweat nightmares at the end of my coma. In the MOAR strange, yet still true category? Should

#NuAIDS Time-Delayed Madness – Sweet Sixteen Back End (PHRASING)

King Hippo - March 28, 2021March 28, 2021

God, look at my mind, ass over elbows into the gutter. Yesterday provided three really compelling fixtures, and then an assault on one's senses. 75% is a fantastic success rate, unless you are an airline pilot or some shit. 5W Creighton (+13.5) v. 1W Gonzaga (2:10, CBS) HAWT Jesuit on Jesuit action!

Thoughts and prayers to Scotchy, trying hard to delay his nightly passing out. Boeheim needs him! 15S Oral Totes Counts (+11) v. 3S Arkansas (7:25, TBS) One assumes the Oral admissions office is working overtime. Speaking of thoughts and prayers!
