NCAA Thursday Open Thread

Until this collective group sacks up and schedules a maxi-summit in Vegas for the first weekend of the NCAA tournament, I guess we will just have to congregate in this little corner of cyberspace to track the rise and fall of the hopes of college basketball players, fans, and bettors across the country.

Just to get you in the mood and for the specific enjoyment of mid-major fans and Mark, here is the 2006 “One Shining Moment”.

whitney and i, like many red-blooded american males, used to make a habit of taking the first friday of the tournament off work and hunkering down to drink all day and watch hoops. i miss those days.

Marls said...

Whitney could still do that and follow it up with some rec sex.

zman said...

Does that involve Rex Ryan?

rob said...

rec sex wearing rec specs listening to wreckx n effect?

zman said...

All I wanna doom is zooma zoom zoom zoom over the She Watch Channel Zero sample?

Marls said...

Sexy Rexy having rec sex while wearing rec specs listening to wreckx n effect is a bridge to far.

Marls said...

Who is the athlete most associated with Rec specs? Chris Sabo? Kurt Rambis?

zman said...

Kareem and James Worthy.

rob said...

it me

Whitney said...

Horace Grant.
Eric Dickerson.
Little Joe Washington.

Marls said...

Joe Lavender?

Mark said...

I’m taking tomorrow off. Working from home since about 2 this afternoon. Though my kids 5:15 soccer practice is fucking things up a bit.

I’ll go with James Worthy, Eric Dickerson and Chris Sabo for their respective sports.

Ironically enough, I was invited to a new pickup game on Tuesday night and one of the guys was rocking Rec specs. Surprisingly, he was in his 20s. Unsurprisingly, he was a Johnny Try Hard.

zman said...

I'm a big fan of Johnny Too Bad.

rob said...

suck it, larranaga

zman said...

Are you really hating on Larranaga? Cmon.

Marls said...

Does the SDSU Aztec actually have to be an Aztec?

zman said...

Like the Pontiac Water White drove?

Marls said...

Rob has hated on larranaga for a while.

Marls said...

Is that like the Pontiac Grand Prix?

Shlara said...

Rob + Whitney, your priorities are out of whack
Me, KQ and the other cougars in the outfield will be enjoying a Friday free from work and full of NCAA hoops

rob said...

dammit

rob said...

zed, i lost respect for larranaga after he went to miami and vocally criticized mid-majors’ schedule strength while lobbying for an ncaa berth. disingenuous as fuck from a guy who knew damn well how hard it is for mids to get games from bigs.

Mark said...

I didn’t even know who he was until last Saturday but I am a huge Rob Gray fan.

T.J. said...

This is off brand for me, but I like Houston manbun kid

T.J. said...

huh. welcome to my bandwagon Mark

Mark said...

Nope. I started my bandwagon for him last weekend whilst watching the AAC Tournament. We now have competing Rob Gray bandwagons.

TR said...

Buffalo University must be an awful place to go to school. What companies recruit there?

zman said...

Zubaz.

T.J. said...

This Va Tech/Bama game has all the makings

T.J. said...

I hope you are all up and watching this game

Mark said...

LeBron’s dunk on Jusuf Nurkic is an all timer. Nasty.

Whitney said...

Come on, Hokies. Starting to fade down the stretch.

Mark said...

Don’t like that charge call at all. Charges are just too damn easy to draw.

rob said...

good job, good effort, pac-12

Whitney said...

ACC at 1-3 not exactly bringing the heat

rob said...

yeah, but they’ll get uva and unc through today, and likely clemson, too.

rob said...

and they’re 2-3 if you count syracuse
