I can't quote the bible like Zman (I've never been into fiction) but I did want to make life easier for all our friends commenting from their phones so I decided a new post was needed for the Sunday slate of games. And while I was thinking about that I decided I should push some of my musical tastes on the readers of G:TB (shit, everyone else does). You may have never heard of Ratatat. If not, they're just a couple of Broooklyn hipsters who do dope remixes. Very, very dope. You've probably heard of Slim Thug...but you've probably never listened to him. I can't blame you. He's not really my style either. Despite my southern upbringing, there aren't a ton of Southern rappers that I love.
I do, however, love this remix. Don't blame me if it's stuck in your head all day today.
When do games start today, eastern standard time?
ReplyDeleteHoly fuck, someone, please, write something. I am dying here.
ReplyDeleteTJ--sounds like you've had a rough morning...
ReplyDeleteGames start at noon ET. But the important games are at 2:45 Duke v. Michigan, 5pm Mason v. Ohio State and 7pm VCU v Purdue
Thank you Shlara
ReplyDeleteand the irish play at 940...what is up w/that? were 2nd round games on that late last year? i'm in bed by 9 at latest.
ReplyDeletesomeone has a case of the rough moring sundays
ReplyDeletelove the teej's tweets this a.m.
ReplyDeleteTeej is a pretty individual this morning. Huge slate of games on today. I, for one, can never get to sleep on Sunday nights so I'm happy with games going late in to the evening.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark. No one calls me pretty.
ReplyDeleteNow, if you were actually calling me petty, well, that's occurred a few thousand times.
ReplyDeletewashington appears to have the athleticism to hang with carolina. make it so, isaiah.
ReplyDeletelove ratatat. hate pitt.
ReplyDeleteI was actually attempting to call you a pretty bitter individual, TJ.
ReplyDeleteI've got Washington over UNC in my bracket. Mostly because I love Isaiah Thomas.
and this is where carolina takes over. unc and richmond in the sweet 16. i'm so happy.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big Carolina fan, but I love watching Kendall Marshall play. Everything a true PG should be.
ReplyDeleteNice game.
of fucking course
ReplyDeleteUse a fucking pump fake.
ReplyDeletewashington's a really fucking dumb team
ReplyDeleteRob's quickly gaining on TJ in the bitter old man contest.
ReplyDeleteDid that game end on a block too?
ReplyDeleteWhat game on now? Score pls?
ReplyDeleteHello laptop and game action...
ReplyDeleteIf only the Knicks and the Smashing Pumpkins made the Sweet 16, Rob would revert to his days of breaking things while watching sports. Lucky for him Billy Corgan has no game.
ReplyDeleteDUKE, PLEASE FUCKING LOSE
ReplyDeleteAnd I feel about Duke like her feels about UNC (sorry, Dennis), so this just... got... interesting.
ReplyDeleteIf Duke doesn't win, my bracket is screwed
ReplyDeleteHold on, forgive me if this is a dumb question and I should know, but is that dude on Michigan related to Steve Novak of Marquette fame?
ReplyDeleteMichigan has 3 offspring of NBA players--Hardaway, Dumars and Horford. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay Nolan!!
Watching the end of a Duke win is like reading the end of a Diary of Anne Frank.
ReplyDeleteI took Mason over OSU because (a) if Mason won and I didn't pick them I'd feel like an idiot, given my various associations and (b) I'm an idiot.
ReplyDeleteThat Mason player's sneakers are whiter than the Duke Michigan game.
ReplyDeletei always pick duke and unc to lose and they never do. bet with your heart, not your head.
ReplyDeleteI HATE Ohio State. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate that stupid nut head buckeye too.
ReplyDeleteI've felt like Ohio State is the best team in the country since I saw them throttle Florida early in the year, and nothing I've seen since has convinced me otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI don't like Ohio State either but this is a really, really balanced team.
ReplyDeleteMason is rushing their game and has bad shot selection.
ReplyDeleteWHY???
and KQ, don't forget that its THE Ohio State.
ReplyDeletedouchebags..
Mason is d-o-n-e.
ReplyDeleteWhen Ohio State is shooting it like this, it doesn't matter what Mason does.
ReplyDeletePlenty of good seats still available in Tulsa. Texas-Arizona not doing anything for the locals, evidently.
ReplyDeleteDavid Lighty 7 of 7 from three right now.
ReplyDeleteFucking ass whoopin'
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to lie...I'm excited for the new episode of Hawaii 5-0 tomorrow night
ReplyDeleteJamie Maggio won't be working for TBS for long.
ReplyDeleteIs Shaka going to leave the CAA for a bigger conference after this season? I hope not...I like his swagger. We need that in the mid-majors. Especially our mid-major.
ReplyDeleteI could easily see Shaka following Anthony Grant to the SEC to face mentor Billy D twice a year.
ReplyDeleteWhether he leaves this season or later, Shaka's not long for the CAA.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a shame...
ReplyDeletefyi - VCU is up by 11.
ReplyDeleteThe Boilermakers and Jay Bilas can suck it.
ReplyDeleteJay Bilas can EAD and LMB.
ReplyDeletezbaby is so excited about VCU that he just pissed his pants all over my shirt.
ReplyDeleteADL (audible dallas laughter)
ReplyDeleteG:TB's editorial staff should all chip in and send a peck of pickled peckers to ESPN's CBB analysts. So they have something to chew on.
ReplyDeleteAZ/TX game...or, Rick Barnes will assuredly fuck this up.
ReplyDeleteWait, what was Texas down in this game? Did Marv say 32???
ReplyDeleteDerrick Williams thinks Chuck Norris is a pussy
ReplyDeleteEverything's better with Marv. Unless you're his girlfriend and he's biting your back.
ReplyDeleteJ'Covan Brown thinks he can score on anybody. And he might be right.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't stand Texas as a general mater. The school, not the state.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Kimmel is pissed on the AZ sideline
ReplyDeleteWow. Derrick Williams.
ReplyDeleteWow. What a huge turn of events in the Texas-Zona game.
ReplyDeleteUm, foul?
ReplyDeleteDid Derrick Williams' teammate just mouth kiss him?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a replay there.
ReplyDeleteOn the foul...or mouth kiss?
ReplyDeleteRick Barnes...wow.
ReplyDeleteBoth TJ. Both.
ReplyDeleteI thought the UT guy got fouled going up after the offensive rebound. But I also had Texas winning it all on one of my brackets. I guess yesterday was the "we're calling fouls inside of 5 seconds" day.
ReplyDeleteI'm buying a can-am tomorrow. Dope.
ReplyDeleteanyone call kq to make sure she's not out in the neighborhood looking for buckeye trees to chop down?
ReplyDeleteV-C-U mother fuckers.
ReplyDeleteTJ and I had the instinct to shout at Jay Bilas on twitter at the same time.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant or scary?
Jer, I thought he did too, but I am now seeing images/gifs that show the foul just after time expired. But yeah, after yesterday, I was so shocked they didn't call the foul I screamed at my TV in an empty hotel room.
ReplyDeleteI didn't save it on the DVR, but I thought he got hit before the buzzer. Both teams have plenty of fans so I'm sure the play will be thoroughly broken down on the internet tomorrow. Regardless, it's not a call that you can expect to get every time.
ReplyDeleteEveryone will talk about the last minute, but Texas lost it in the first 30. They played it like an NBA game and it cost them.
ugh.
ReplyDeleteand cost me. my beautiful bracket is falling apart . . .
ReplyDeleteI am so overtired and bitter I might spend the entire evening tweeting asshole things at Dickie V and Jay Bilas.
ReplyDeleteShaka is this year's Larranaga
ReplyDeletezbaby just shit his pants in honor of Purdue. This tournament costs me a lot in diapers.
ReplyDeleteTJ, that might be enough to finally get me on the twitter machine.
ReplyDeletevcu's bitchslapped a pac-10, big east, and big 10 team. florida state beats notre dame and they get to take out an acc team next.
ReplyDeleteVCU/USC. VCU/Georgetown. VCU/Purdue. Better TEAM won all three games.
ReplyDelete"Marquette is poop."
ReplyDeleteYes zman, I was wrong with a prognostication about the NCAA tournament, I will go bury my head in the sand, as I am so dumb.
ReplyDelete"TJ" is Gaelic for "thin-skinned."
ReplyDeletei thought it was 'pale skinned'
ReplyDeleteI hope all of you just got to see the postgame video of the VCU locker room. Fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteDion Watters is balling his ass off tonight. Couldn't come at a better time with Triche injured.
ReplyDeletevcu locker room was great. butler and vcu need to have a locker room-off.
ReplyDeleteDammit Cuse.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe I'm pissed that the team I mocked is going to beat the team I root for. Or whatever it was you said.
ReplyDeleteSon. of. a. bitch.
ReplyDeleteFuck.
ReplyDelete11 seeds own this mo-fo of a tournament.
ReplyDeleteFlorida State-Notre Dame. Hmmm. Is okay if I just root for both teams to get simultaneous NCAA violations and be kicked out of the tournament?
ReplyDeleteJust think of it this way -- all the fans of both teams will be pissed if their basketball team is better than their football team.
ReplyDeleteThat game is going to tip at 10pm est? Um, ok.
ReplyDeleteThe TV changes have been 99% excellent, but starting this late on Sunday is kind of annoying. These games used to be over by 8.
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with the games starting late, but I get the beef most people have with it.
ReplyDeleteI'm an hour behind you guys and I might not it until the end of this FSU/ND game.
ReplyDeleteGeesh, I also thought very little of Florida St (not as little as Marquette, but close)...and look at them taking it to the Irish.
ReplyDeleteFlorida State is usually complete shit offensively but they are terrific defensively. I'd bet top 5 in the nation. Best defensive team Florida played all year.
ReplyDeleteI think they were indeed #1 or #2 in the NCAA in FG% allowed.
ReplyDeleteAndddddddddddd...the Morris twins have had just about enuff of Illinois.
ReplyDeleteSo if the Seminoles hang on, Kansas has the 10, 11, and 12 seeds remaining in their region? Wow.
ReplyDeleteYes, wow, very bad for Kansas. They loooove to lose to double digit seeds in the Dance.
ReplyDeleteBYU is playing in the bayou. Neat!
ReplyDeleteGO (fuck yourself) Irish!
ReplyDelete
