Tournament time is an excellent time to hit Vegas, or have a vasectomy, or just be alive. It's beer drinking, wing-eating time. So belly up somewhere on the clock and have a pint of this (no discernible scent; lower ABV), or hit the Total Wine and grab a case of this (Norfolk, VA).
In the interest of spreading the love of good music, we will throw out six suggested songs by certain bands you may or may not know much about. Not much of a time commitment, just a little something to get the flavor and get you going.
In the spirit of the NCAA hoopsters, the next band up is an alt.country classic whose name fits right into Rock Chalk Jayhawk.
Whitney's 6-Pack: The Jayhawks
VitalsWhere: Twin Cities of Minnesota
When: 1989 - Present, with some haituses (hiati?) in there
Who: Gary Louris, Marc Olson (he's left and returned more than once), Marc Perlman, Tim O'Reagan
Never any big hits, but great harmonies and jangly guitar. A nice backdrop to a Friday morning. Enjoy.
"Waiting for the Sun," Hollywood Town Hall, 1992
"Blue," Tomorrow the Green Grass, 1995
"I'd Run Away," Tomorrow the Green Grass, 1995
"Smile," Smile, 2000
"I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," Smile, 2000
"Tiny Arrows," Mockingbird Time, 2011

Danny Manning approves.
ReplyDeletei wasted a lot of commentbreath in the previous thread. bygones.
ReplyDeleteMarshall is the fourth best team in a pretty weak Conference USA, and they caught a break when #1 Middle Tennessee gacked one early in the conference tourney against Southern Miss. Oh, and they lost to the Tribe by 10.
ReplyDeleteAs such, I picked them in 0 of my brackets. And they are currently giving the Shockers a run. Stay tuned.
the tribe fucking *handled* the herd. we should be dancing.
ReplyDeletePlease never assume I'm not dancing, Rob
ReplyDeleteI assumed you meant you were doing this:

Marshall just might win this
ReplyDeleteNice win for the Thundering Randy Moss. And for the lesser D'Antoni.
ReplyDeleteTo Rob's point in the previous post, we really need to plan a tourney weekend summit. Sooner rather than later. Some of you are getting pretty old.
isaac haas has a broken elbow. that sucks.
ReplyDeletecolin kaepernick rolled into bob mcnair's collusion hearing today wearing a kunte kinte t-shirt. troll game on fleek.
ReplyDeleteEric Musselman's wife is quite attractive.
ReplyDeletePlease don't ever use the phrase "on fleek" again, Rob.
ReplyDeleteFuck you Mark.
ReplyDeleteI’m just assuming that you will ignore the byline again and blame Rob.
ReplyDeleteMarls, you sound like your alter ego Nacho Lopez.
ReplyDeleteI’m confused by the agressikn from Marls but am willing to go along with it. Fuck you Rob.
ReplyDeleteWhat my phone chooses and doesn’t choose to autocorrect will never not confuse me.
ReplyDeletefuck all of you no-comma using asshats
ReplyDeleteWho gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
ReplyDeleteTaco Alonzo, Whit. Taco Alonzo.
ReplyDeleteShaka Smart, hot seat?
ReplyDeleteThat would shock me. It would not be smart.
ReplyDeleteCAA holding their own tonight so far.
ReplyDeleteI would rather not shock you.
ReplyDeleteshaka's making steady progress there. no hot seat.
ReplyDeleteBMW now makes an X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, and X6?
ReplyDeleteMy 10 y/o had an outside soccer game in Newark at 720 PM tonight. 35 degrees, 15 mph winds. One of the more miserable experiences I’ve had as a sports parent. Tomorrow’s game is at a much more convenient 520 PM time. In Kearny. Will let you know if I see Tab Ramos, John Harkes or Tony Meola.
ReplyDeletei'm coaching a game tomorrow at 8 am. forecast air temp is 28. and it's 90 minutes from my house, so i've got to get up at 5 to get there on time. and then i have to drive to trenton to watch my kid compete in cheerleading for 3 minutes. sunday, i drive back to nova for a 3:00 pm soccer game. so this should be a fun weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow. Rob has the “eat shit” conch this weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy guy is spent, but I can’t make him stop watching what would be the biggest upset in tourney history.
We are all Retrievers tonight.
ReplyDeleteIt’s going to be about 60 for the game around the corner from my house tomorrow morning. My team will talk endlessly about how cold it is. Florida kids are in no way equipped for the “cold”.
So, um, this game...
ReplyDeleteFun seeing UVA eat shit...
ReplyDeleteTony Bennett is always going to be the guy who was the first #1 seed coach to lose. That program is gonna take a big step back. Body language on the court is turrible.
ReplyDeleteAgree. They're dunnzo.
ReplyDeleteThe person running UMBC’s twitter is the real winner tonight
ReplyDeleteI’d like to disagree with TR but it’s not even like this is a buzzer beater situation. Virginia got handled. No doubt about who the better team was tonight.
ReplyDeleteEat a dick UVA. Wahoo wahoo wah
ReplyDeleteUnreal. I've smoked dope, chewed rope, danced, French romanced, fucked, fought, shot the moon and drove big trucks. I've been to Janesville, Maine, Spain, Spokane, and Fort Wayne, seen three world’s fairs, been around the world twice, looked danger in the face, and seen goats fuck in the marketplace, but I ain't never seen no shit like that.
ReplyDeleteWatching that game w/ my kid, who is old enough to understand the magnitude of the upset, was an awesome time. He’ll remember the first time a #1 seed ever lost, and he’ll remember he watched it w/ his old man. I remember when my first favorite team (Georgetown) almost lost to low seed Princeton. I was at my dad’s apartment during that.
ReplyDeleteHopefully my kid doesn’t remember how much wine his dad drank during the game.
There just is no other story in this tourney for a week or two.
ReplyDeletei might’ve misprognosticated uva winning the tournament.
ReplyDeleteThere was a basketball game on last night?
ReplyDeleteYou mean play basketball?
