Rollin down a hill snowballin gettin bigger

The first line of "Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun" characterizes the current state of VCU's men's basketball team, and although it may be more accurate to say "b-ballin gettin bigger," I never let technicalities get in the way of filler posts. Butler is now looking down the barrel of VCU's gun, which is pretty fitting given Richmond's insanely high murder-by-shooting rate.

The remaining members of the tournament's field are now on notice: Shaka Smith has homeboys bonanza to beat your ass down. ESPN analysts should also watch a game or two lest they unexpectedly wind up with a steak on their collective head.

rob said...

right on, z. i spent the day chasing my kids around deecee. ccommencing operation hunkerdown shortly.

rob said...

just heard from our onsite correspondents in houston. all is well.

Danimal said...

Yeah. All good. En route to arena. Flasks filled up and currently strategizing.

Shlara said...

I'm kinda sick of CBS hyping Kings of Leon all day. More Shaka and Brad; less Kings.

zman said...

What's worse -- chasing kids or changing diapers?

I got a nook for april fool's day. The touch screen is funky but it is now easier than ever to blog from the couch.

zman said...

The vcu campus footage is depressing.

Shlara said...

OK, I realize I'm a little loopy from post-op drugs this week, but that VCU behind the scenes story made me cry.

worried about butler's defense vs vcu's offense

zman said...

I'm really into tracys wart.

zman said...

It would've been cool if just one talking head said "I've been wrong about every vcu game so far so I'm picking them to win today."

zman said...

Havoc.

Shlara said...

oh no!!! he can't be hurt!!!

rob said...

getting better looks than i thought they would

Whitney said...

If Joey Rodriguez had this performance 2 weeks ago, Jay Bilas would be telling us he told us so.

And this is my favorite B-Boys song, Zman. Well done.

Shlara said...

I know I've said this before, but I need to say it again. I love Charles Barkley.

rob said...

coincidentally, i hear he has a thing for short white girls

Shlara said...

oh, I have a good Charles story from the 90's that I'll share in person sometime.

zman said...

Is there demand for another fast/furious Movie?

zman said...

"Skeen skeen skeen" as lil john would say.

rob said...

butler's physical style is helping them. they're not getting called for some of the same things that are drawing whistles on vcu.

rob said...

these teams have missed a fuckton of bunnies

rob said...

how do you leave mack that alone?

zman said...

How coul you name your kid Shelving?

Shlara said...

OK, I"m sad for Shaka, the Rams and CAA Hoops. But I'm kind of excited that hottie nerd Brad Stevens has a chance to win it all.

And, is there ANY chance that Shaka will stay next year??

T.J. said...

What a game, what a run. I'm exhausted.

rob said...

red sox may not win a game this season

rob said...

our reporters in houston say that this game is even uglier than it looks on television. they're also reporting that they're shitfaced.

rob said...

this game is a giant shitburger

rob said...

i like butler against either of these teams. write it down.

Mark said...

Hey! I'm spent the night at yet another wedding which means I missed most of the first game. Awesome.

I continue to think that Shelvin Mack is a 1st round level talent. He gets it done, over and over again. As for Butler as a team, they get less whistles due to their style of play. It happened throughout the tourney last year and it's happened again this year. They are the new Duke...mark my words. Stevens will stay and we'll all be so annoyed by them in 10 years.

Kentucky lost and I lost money, but I can't be mad. Kemba Walker is my dude.

Danimal said...

Large arena that reliant center. Damn the NCAA for hosting there. Good times though. Heading over to watch mickel-boobies

Dave said...

mickel-boobies?

TR said...

It's Phil Michelson, Dave. He's been sporting a pair of jiggly B-cups under his golf shirt for almost a decade.

rob said...

dave's c-cups aren't jiggly in the least. he's got some quality man breasts.
