You gots gots to git it! (also Happy Alcoholism Evening, if y'all happen to be Irish and not yet passed out) 12W New Mexico State (+6.5) v. 5W UConn (6:50, TNT) This is where we hope the Fightin' Horatios make their name sake happy drink instead of angry drink. Either way, there will

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

Crowning a #NuAIDS-Era Shempion – Monday Night Open Thread

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

Saturday Night’s Alright…FOAR #NuAIDS Time-Delayed Raging Semis!

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.

#NuAIDS Tuesday MOAR FLACCO Hoopsball Thread

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 Monday Flacco Eight F-ck Yeah! (and Open Thread)

King Hippo - March 29, 2021March 29, 2021

If a dick joke erupts in the forest, and there's no jizz mopper around to deal...does it make a no ofence? 12MW Oregon State (+8) v. 2MW Houston (7:15, CBS) Where's the love, yo? Niiiiiiiiiiice Beaver still a yuge underdog, and they don't even get the late time slot for their victory-starved

#NuAIDS Time-Delayed Madness – Sweet Sixteen y Sunday Noche Thread

King Hippo - March 28, 2021March 28, 2021

Here's where we would ordinarily start pre-dreading Monday...but there's hoops on the schedule Monday and Tuesday! THANKS, #NuAIDS!! Always knew u wuz kewl. 11E UCLA (+6.5) v. 2E Alabama (7:15, TBS) This would be such a no-contest if it were FITBAW. But does the universe favoUr balance, giving the Conference of Shempions

#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!

#NuAIDS Time-Delayed Madness – Sweet Sixteen Nighttime Fun

King Hippo - March 27, 2021March 27, 2021

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! I am expecting a very entertaining shootout here. 11MW Sillycuse (+6.5) v. 2MW Houston

#NuAIDS Time-Delayed Madness – Sweet Sixteen (no Chmura smh) Time!

King Hippo - March 27, 2021March 26, 2021

Our calendars and body clocks are off, I know. Shit, I believe I had an afternoon nap every day this workweek. Scion of the law-talkin-guy profession, me. Thus, the Round of 16 is two days late. But this is one of the bestest gifts #NuAIDS done gave us...because the round is

#NuAIDS Time-Delayed Madness Round of 32 el Fin (and Monday Nite Open Thread)

Alright, y'all. 5 hours or so of hoopsball loveliness left, before we go back to pondering all of our less-than-stellar life choices. 8E LSU (+5) v. 1E Michigan (7:10, CBS) This would make for a fine game of FITBAW, at least before Harbs the Lesser turned the Wolverines program in a hollowed-out

#NuAIDS Time-Delayed Madness – Last Day of Gluttony

King Hippo - March 22, 2021March 22, 2021

I miss the daily orgy of hoopsball already, don't you? 7W Oregon (+5) v. 2W Iowa (12:10, CBS) Talk about wildly over/under-performing expectations. The Pac-12 has been on fire, whilst the B1G has been a dumpster fire. This is a pretty tough ask of Quack Attack, though. 8W Oklahoma (+14) v. 1W Gonzaga
