Sunday Tourney Portland Peep Filler

Adios, Syracuse. Buh bye, Villanova. After a day filled with early blowout shitbaggery, the tournament once again delivered as the sun went down, though I sure could have done without the Cuse lose. Today promises a little bit of the same, methinks, with possible early wins for Kansas and Wichita State and the real fun hitting the hard wood later in the day (Tennessee/Mercer, anyone?). Anyhoo, enjoy today's themed-filler...




Clarence, now you can throw back a Fireball shot or two. It's brunch. Don't listen to Dave.

  1. Kansas plays like a bunch of jackasses a lot of the time. They have so much talent and athletic ability but they only seem to harness it for a couple minutes a half, which is enough against most teams. I'd like them to lose but Stanford does not look like the team to knock them off.

  2. a Kansas lose would (1) simply make me happy, because f them, and (2) completely detonate that part of the bracket thus making my Cuse homer pick irrelevant

    go Stanford

  3. Ok but nothing opens until 11 because it's Sunday but I feel like its 2 pm.

  4. I would feel bad if my parents named me Naadir. It would be a low point.

  6. for an exceptionally gifted group of athletes, kansas really doesn't play basketball all that well. may the same remain true of kentucky today.

  7. The biggest issue with Kansas is guard play. They're all freshman and thus don't play consistently nor do they take care of the ball like you'd hope/expect.

    In related news, Florida's region has really opened up for them.

  8. For reasons that are not exactly clear to me, I will be rooting for Kentucky. Maybe it's the underdog thing.

  9. This game as a lot of early energy and intesity. Good.

  10. My Kansas-Duke finals match-up pick looking strong to quite strong.

    I'm at Great Wolf lodge in the Poconos. It is painful. Giant indoor waterpark w/ huge lines everywhere. And it appears there is a plus-size male bad tattoo contest, unless that's just a coincidence w/ the crowd here.

    Thankfully, they sell beer here and we have wine in our hotel room.

  11. The tattoo schadenfreude is one of the underrated highlights of resort pools/waterparks.

  12. Lots of fat dudes have no problem with a centered, lower back tattoo that is framed by egregious stretch marks and unsightly body hair. Hot stuff.

  13. My stretch marks are gregious.

  14. These threes are shocking.

  15. Calipari paid someone to make this happen.

  16. Well then. Brackets be damned, last 18 hours have been fun.

  17. That was quite entertaining.

    Cleanthony Early was a beast.

    ReplyDelete
  18. he was. would've liked to see him take that last shot. but van vleet is a helluva player.

  20. were those three point bank shots intentional?

    and i had nothing to do with the guitar or the lyrics in clarence's "family band." he's gone totally rogue on this one.

    ReplyDelete
  21. But thanks for the bad guitar insult, Zman.

    ReplyDelete
  22. No,they weren't intentional.

    Best first weekend of the tournament ever?

  23. I met Rob for maybe 20 minutes roughly a decade ago, but my blind faith in his backing of Tennessee is really paying off.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Too bad that Georges Niang broke his foot. Iowa St-Michigan St would be awesome with both teams at full strength.

    ReplyDelete
  25. And yes, that assumes both teams would advance to the regional final. Probably a dumb assumption based on tourney results thus far.

  26. They really made a Hangover 3 movie??

  27. Florida-UCLA tips at 9:45 on Thursday. I see an extremely unproductive Friday in my future.
