Because we’re men of the people, we’re dropping a new post on you for your commenting pleasure.
Relevant to nothing, wouldn’t Lose Yourself be better than One Shining Moment?
Here’s what we think about Saturday’s games:
(7) West Virginia vs. (2) Duke (2:10, Washington, DC)
Has anyone seen Mike Krzyzewski and Commissioner Valchek in the same room at the same time? Didn't think so. I’m mortally torn on this game. Why couldn’t John Beilein just stay in Morgantown? I’ve not been sold on Duke at all this season, and the Big East spent the first day of the tournament proving its toughness. Huggy Bear lives to kill again, exasperating legions of Cincinnati fans.
(11) Kansas State vs. (3) Wisconsin (4:20, Omaha, NE)
G:TB loves us some Bo Ryan, and the coaching matchup here is more unbalanced than Gary Busey on a meth and Jager binge. As much as we’d like to keep watching Michael Beasley, looks like his next game will be in an NBA uniform.
(6) Purdue vs. (3) Xavier (4:40, Washington, DC)
Purdue spoiled the Baylor dream season, but we won’t hold that against them. The Baby Boilers and their all-court balance move on against the Musketeers.
(5) Notre Dame vs. (4) Washington State (6:20, Denver, CO)
This will be an intriguing matchup of styles. Notre Dame prefers a buttoned-up, all-business look – heavy on Armani and Ferragamo, while Wazzu’s all “hang loose, bro. check out my boardshorts and flip-flops”. Derek Low and the boys squeeze the Irish and win a low-scoring game.
(6) Marquette vs. (3) Stanford (6:45, Anaheim, CA)
We’re on the Lopez Twins’ Neverland Tour Bus, single glove affixed. Cardinal advances, denying the Big East an undefeated tournament. Today’s games notwithstanding.
(8) UNLV vs. (1) Kansas (6:50, Omaha, NE)
I’ve seen nothing thus far to indicate that Kansas will have any trouble any time before the Final Four. Nothing, that is, other than Bill Self’s Sy Sperling beaver pelt. ‘Hawks still roll.
(5) Michigan State vs. (4) Pittsburgh (9:10, Denver, CA)
Rough, meet tumble. I eagerly await this one – probably my most anticipated Saturday game. And not only because I’ll have to live through a children’s Easter Egg hunt and a day full of in-laws to get to it. Pitt in a one-possession battle.
(9) Texas A&M vs. (1) UCLA (9:15, Anaheim, CA)
Yawn. CBS had better be broadcasting the Pitt game in the D.C. area. UCLA easily over whiny Mark Turgeon and the Aggies.

Perhaps UCLA will allow 39 points this game.
Rob, have you seen your boy Bo Ryan doing the soulja boy? i posted in my tourney preview over a D&S. Pretty solid.
Also, you surf slang probably needs a little owrk. I don't think "hang loose" has been used since the late 80s...
Wow, should've proof read that, huh?
bo ryan is a renaissance man.
and mea culpa on the surf slang. i write most things in the persona of an 18 year-old. which puts me back in 1988.
Nice headline:
"Spring Breakers Dynamite Sundeck Of Daytona Beach Shores Hotel"
"Hang loose" may have hung around to see the 1970's, but no way did it creep into the 80's vernacular. A very Endless Summer expression, maybe still kicking for Big Wednesday.
Ah, Spring Break in Daytona. Takes me back. Top 5 crappiest cities I've visited, rounded out by Atlantic City, Dallas, Hartford, and Los Angeles.
And yes, I've been to Cleveland.
But never Detroit.
Reno blooooooows.
Oh, yeah. Horrrrrible. That might bump one of the aforementioned.
i've been to detroit. it's awful. my top 5 worst:
philly
detroit
springfield, mass
atlanta
binghamton, ny
Ok, I've cleaned up my diaper, put on my Triple Paste (reference for the father's in the group) and I'm ready for Round 2....let's just say I was a suckling puddle of drool at the end of last night's game(s). Between the cougar at the NAR suite and the Bruins of Belmont, my meddle was indeed tested on Day 1.
Oh, and I hugged it out with a 300 pound black man I met 3 hours prior to said hug...it was like a Bud Light commercial.
Of course that's my "mettle" which was tested...although I would like to meddle in the affairs of one or two referees I've seen so far...dicks. all of them.
Worst cities I've been to:
1. (with a bullet) Little Rock, AR
2. Detroit
3. Wheeling, WV
4. Scranton
5. Columbus, OH
added a little piece of flair for mark.
Wow, Scranton. I figured they'd been done a disservice by The Office, but maybe not.
Oh yeah, Wheeling is huuuurting...
Belongs in a different thread...but, WTF Jim?!!
Nationals released RHP John Patterson.
Stunning. Obviously the Nationals had concerns about Patterson's lack of velocity, but he still looked like their probable Opening Day starter and they'll only save about $600,000 by cutting him. They're left with a rotation of Shawn Hill, Jason Bergmann, Tim Redding, Odalis Perez and either Matt Chico or John Lannan. This could go badly for them...
Look at that rotation again...
Thanks Rob.
My top 5 (or bottom) worst cities:
1. Akron, OH
2. Lake Charles, LA
3. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
4. Tallahassee
5. San Antonio
I loved San Antonio. Seriously. God you're a dick Mark.
From what I have heard, Tallahassee is a more than worthy inclusion. Nice.
I not sure why, but I really enjoy Geoff's hatred of me.
Yet another reason why I love Bill Raftery, "Gary Williams looks like an unmade bed by the end of the game."
Can I just hire this guy to drink with me and follow me around for a week?
"By the end of a night of hard drinking, Mark's a foreign language CD that's skipping." --Bill Raftery
If I hadn't taken pro-active action, I'd be on my way to adding Belgrade to my list in a few hours.
Thats the worst business trip since my Dad had to go to Somalia in the early 90s...seriously.
Here's one of the problems with matching up two mid-majors in the first round:
Instead of having WKU and Drake (who are both very good teams with exciting styles of play) matched up against major programs and, as a result having neutral crowds involved in the games, we get the two of them playing each other in what's, thus far, the best game of the day. Of course, nobody in Tampa even gives a damn about this game and its deadly quiet in the arena.
Troy, NY is one of the worst places ever.
I'm with you, Mark. Gonzaga vs. Davidson is like watching an intrasquad scrimmage. They're the same team. I'd love to see one of them matched up against an SEC or Big XII school.
at least we've got some entertaining tilts this afternoon.
knock wood.
Did anyone ever explain to Zoltan the Jeff Jones rumor?
the gritty, gutty american eagles!
USA!
Patriot Leage Represent
Somewhere, david aldridge just pumped his fist.
That last AU three figuratively blew the roof off the Dubliner.
Here comes Drake. Drake'in ankles 24-7.
If you're Gonzaga, why not commit a defender to face guarding Stefan Curry? Or eve go box and one?
all four teams for which i'm rooting in this session are trailing. cool.
Ouch. 9-0 run for WKU since I wrote that. I can't catch a Drake.
gimme a drake, jerry, that's terrible.
And Billy Packer just called for a box and one. Shoot me.
Looks like Emmenecker's last game as Point Drake.
Curry's gonna have 40...
he's scoring at a drakeneck pace.
Jesus...you two are killing me.
I like Gonzaga and Davidson. It's hard to watch that game.
Drake and the Fat Man?
In the poker game of life, the Hilltoppers are the Drake.
it's a run on tight ends! metaphorically.
i'm drakeing out in a sweat from the tension.
I was hoping to have my Drake and eat it too.
WKU had their Drake and ate it too.
Fuck. Waiting too long to use that one was a big misDrake.
As legend has it, Jason Vorhees used to terrorize Crystal Drake.
drake a fucking shot already.
bummer. american just doesn't quite have what it drakes.
So far this lunch, TJs had 4 Drakes to my 3.
since i've got the day off, I might as well get draked.
Drake...draking a run...
Tomorrow you should wake and Drake.
So, this curry kids pretty good, huh?
They won't cut to the Zags game...
Can't wait to get home later and drake the misses....
draking a comeback?
sorry - was draking a crap. should've read ahead.
this thread's on pace to drake the all-time record for number of posts.
Adam Morrison's let his hair grow and, well, he looks like a teenage girl (with a wispy mustache)...and Packer just brought up him crying against UCLA...nice.
The officiating is a disaster in this Western Kentucky game. (no pun intended)
So he looks like a teenage Lebanese girl.
Actually, I thought it was Jack White when they showed him. (The White Stripe, not my grandfather.)
A very ugly teenage girl. Like that one that Gob hooked up with.
Sounded like the band was playing the Driveshaft song from Lost.
The guy who plyed Gob was on Human Giant recently. good stuff.
And, I'm a genius. 40 for Curry.
Also, 38 for Jack McClinton (on 12/18). How good would Siena be if he had stayed there?
WKU having trouble draking the press...
I don't know assface...perhaps they would make the NCAA tourney.
Why the fuck is WKU in such a hurry?
Drake!
Wow...thats bitter. I think they already made the tourney and might have a little George Mason potential with McClinton. I forgot that you have such fierce allegiances to schools you never attended, so please accept my apologies...Bama.
Nice to see the crowd in Tampa wake up...
This is why...
I don't know about that charge call...
Stephen Curry's mom just made my all-MILF squad. I'm ready to make her the Naismith winner at this point. Tremendous.
For anyone wondering how a PG who averages under 10 pts a game and made one 3 all year can be his conference's Player of the Year (like me). I'd say today's performance by Emmenecker is enough explanation.
Hansbrough's mom is MILF-rific.
I smell double OT
oh my God
Heart-draker
HeartDraker...DreamDraker...don't you mess around wit me.
Geoff just wrote the headline for the Des Moines Register (or whatever the fuck its called) tomorrow morning.
Nudie magazine day...
was stuck in a meeting. how did drake get their hearts droken?
26 footer at the buzzer...101-99
oh, dear.
wow, the mvc and the caa struck shit in this postseason.
Dude, that was absurd...
I'm sure you guys have watched more Georgetown games than I, so here's my question:
Why was Jeremiah Rivers recruited to Georgetown? He seems like more of a Seton Hall/Rutgers kind of guy.
F that - is K.C. Rivers Jeremiah's brutha?
No, but there's a younger Rivers son who's a freshman and one of the top 5 players in Central Fla. already.
Oh yeah, this just in...Butler's good.
we're gonna get stuck with carolina/mt. st. mary's tonight, aren't we?
Not if you go to Brother Jerome's Sports Cave...Siena on every channel.
Strong chance.
Uh-oh, AJ Price looks seriously hurt.
Someone forgot to tell San Diego that they suck.
they may not figure that out until next week.
pretty good day for the 11 people that attended the tampa sub-regional.
teejay has been all over siena. kid's a savant.
What did Jay Wright say?
No offense to TJ, but Dan Dakich is the Norv Turner of college basketball...
What beverage plan did you go with?
