2022 March Madness

San Diego State with a huge choke job.

[hhcmatt]

San Diego St 10-17 from the FT line to give that one away

[hskr4life]

Vermont hanging with Arkansas currently... if they could somehow pull that off, all Teddy Buckets would have to do is beat Vermont for a probable date with Zaga.

Saint Peter’s was impressive.  They made free throws and Kentucky didn’t. How many had the Peacocks in any of their brackets?

None-- but I'm loving it so far!

I did. But I'm not going to show my bracket to you. Because... I lost it. Or my dog ate it. I don't know which.

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet. John Groce and his Akron team are up by 2 against UCLA shortly after halftime.

UCLA hasn't shot well, but goodness has Akron put the clamps down. That is a well coached bunch. Can't believe Groce didn't have more success at Illinois.

This is just the guy that appreciates college basketball in me, but what a gutsy win by Creighton. That's a team down their top ball handler that had no business being in the tournament with that roster, then lose their best player/big down in OT and they win a tournament game. Fuck em, but let's call a spade a shovel.

Too bad about Iowa…

Went to the Kentucky message board to see how they're coping. "Ron Mexico" wrote:

I’m in a dark place. My wife is going out of town this afternoon and my dropping off my kids at my parents. Meeting up with a buddy I haven’t seen in months and we were going to drink and party all day and night. I’m trying to snap out of it, but I’m in a depressed malaise. How do I get out of this folks? Blacked out drunk by 3? Do drugs and sleep with a hooker and ruin my marriage? Cancel all plans and eat ice cream and watch Disney+ with my kids like an emasculated eunuch?

Help me. I don’t know what to do. How are you guys getting out of this dark place? What can we do folks? Let’s help each other get over Cal stealing our joy

 

[49r]

Poor Kentucky fans, they've had it so rough.  Really feel bad for those guys...

[hhcmatt]

Surprised that crank calling 'The Rooferees' didn't make the list inbetween hookers and ice cream

FTR - That is not me  I've had the Ron Mexico moniker since this board started.

I never trash talk on other teams boards. I have been known to throw passive aggressive barbs on twitter though.

Ha, glad you saw it. There were plenty of other UK fans to make fun of, but that one caught my eye.
