DAYS OF THE ROUNDBALL: Some far too conclusive thoughts from an unconcluded round.


Sorry Belmont basketball kids, only placating failure awaits you.

Things we thought we would never hear.
While watching Bruce Pearl toy with American like a cat chewing with a rat with broken hips , we heard the following:

Vandy’s a really tough place to play.

Wait, you mean in sports? Like, not boccie or some crap? Really?

Oh, yeah, that’s right. Vandy does own the state title in men’s basketball right now.

Huh. That explains the flaming borders and stink of brimstone emanating from the Foul Parallelogram of late …

The overrated game.
And by that we mean the game that, on a March day without much madness, was the only thing that came close to being less than sane. Thank you Belmont for playing like you aren’t just used by Vandy to wipe up what they leave behind on the hardwood when they’re done peeing on the rest of the state.

It was a fun scare, though, as Duke’s anxiety always feeds our souls. But ultimately, those fearsome Nashville Bruins realized they are effin’ Belmont and that they were playing Duke, not some NAIA turd sponge that’s been lobbed their way.

Good show, though.


Go Dawgs!

Reality did win.
Sorry, Dick Vitale, but Georgia’s impossible run to the Sweet 16 really was impossible as Xavier took care of business after a brief scare early in the first half.

Take notes Mark Richt: Start petitioning now to play your entire 2008 season in Athens or Atlanta, including the bowl/title game. You’ll have your best shot since the Georgian God is, by default, a Georgia homer.*

Quick hits.

  • Notre Dame AD Benedict XVI’s orders of hustle paid off, killing the hopeful Know-Nothing ticket yet again.
  • We were very disturbed by the overwhelming accuracy of our prediction of brutal victory over Mississippi Valley State. That might have been crime. We’re not sure.
  • Congratulations on making it to the first half, Winthrop, but it might’ve been good if you stuck around for the whole game.
  • We’re still not sure who the hell Davidson is, but we’re glad they won.
  • Dammit, Adam Morrison, must you set new standards for effeminate and ugly for pro basketball players? Go the hell home!

*With occasional assists to Valdosta State and Southern.



DAYS OF THE ROUNDBALL: The Lord’s gifts to Dennis Felton run out.


Today’s bracket breakdown is brought to you by Ween, whose music you may remember from … um … uh, ever seen Road Trip? You know that part where they go shopping at the Target?

Ah, screw it. Ween sucks anyway.

We continue or study of the bracket cutting among America’s youth with a quick and even dirtier dissection of the Western bracket matchups.

Rick James was dead when we found him.

No. 1 UCLA versus No. 16 Mississippi Valley State
So Mississippi Valley State, you’re in the tournament, huh? Must make feel really good to be invited to the Big Dance, huh?

Well, let us ask you this:

You ever had a lead pipe shoved through your teeth into the back of your throat, then had someone pipe in carbon monoxide gas until you just let the pain just faaaaade away … ?

Well … see you Thursday. (more…)
