Half day from home today. All my employees are on PHX time (3 hours behind). My day is from 7-11, so as soon as they start logging on, I’m off.
I considered letting be my "gimmick" when I got my feet wet in this thread. The "scout" or the motivational pep talk dude. Then I realized how much work that would be. God bless that man.
Funny line from the Hogville message board
I hope we get Theiro back as well. Cal won't know who to play, but at least he'll have options.

I think your posts that breakdown what you are seeing are always appreciated around here. Your ball knowledge has a lot of respect in this thread
I've always been a 1 bracket guy, but for charity/fun I did a 2nd this year -- did the autofill "All Chalk" option, just to see how it stacks up vs the field. I'll be rooting against it obviously, but have a feeling it may do quite well this year.
Kate on State reference on KSR. 😂
What a time/season.

We rolling out this lineup at some point next year?
Obi Agbim
Otega Oweh
Treysen Eaglestaff
Yaxel Lendeborg
Hannes Steinbach
Can we not find a center with a first name and last name I've never heard before? Steinbach basic AF.

Remember when you'd be so excited for an NCAA Tournament game, only to find out that Len Elmore would be the analyst?
Dark days, man.

Lappas is the one that drives me up a wall, spitting all over the place. Such a weirdo
Pete Gillen was hard to listen to during Championship Week on CBSSN.
I may regret saying this, but I don’t think UConn is very good. I think Florida would absolutely hammer them.
Hurley has earned a comically charged first round exit or absolute destruction (20+ points) in the 2nd round with his behavior.
The bracket has aligned well for either.
If UL really thinks it's a 4 seed, prove it by beating a 9 seed. Seems pretty simple to me.

Absolutely, most would agree with that but I’m always intrigued by these 8/9 vs 1 games. Gonzaga/Houston another one
Hoping all 8 seeds get wiped out. And I mean ALL.
That Texas - Xavier game was pretty awesome. I'm all in on the first four now. Nice little lead in to the greatest sports day of the year.
There are certain guys - for maturity reasons - would have benefited by another year of college. Boogie was one. I think Tre Johnson could be another. He had bad body language in that game last night. Another year at Texas where he's the leader as a sophomore could help him out. Won't happen of course, but whatever.
I'm not on social media (except this I guess) but been getting some GREAT screen shots from some hens in the hood going at it on line. A nice little precursor to the games today.
I'd rather be a 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 seed than an 8 or 9.

UL went from being so pissed that the committee shat all over them with an 8 seed, then they pivoted to:
- greatest 8 seed of all time (false, that would be UK*)
- they'll go on the greatest run of all time to the final four (false; that would also be UK 2014 - remember that team, CardNation?)
I just absolutely love that everything they ever do or ever have done in their pathetic existence, UK has already upstaged and eclipsed it. Tickles me to death.
*I can't remember if Villanova was an 8 or 9 seed when they beat Georgetown in Rupp.

Said it before, but Pat Kelsey is definitely "that guy" at the bar. The very first one that wants to "throw hands"
Kelsey is a f’ing runt. What’s he max out at maybe 5’4 in shoes?
The pictures of Kelsey and Pope shaking hands at our game in December kind of made me cringe for him.
Up until the 4 min mark the ncaa stripes allowed a free flowing game. Something Id like to see at 7PM tomorrow but not holding my breath.
Bombing triples obviously helps.

* Took off work today and tomorrow; first time in quite a while I am able to just enjoy the basketball for the entire opening weekend.
* Did 3 brackets in the name of charity. #1 is serious picks but UK winning it all in the name of love. 🤪
# 2 is serious picks with Auburn cutting down the nets, and # 3 is pure fantasy. Just picking what I wish could happen in every scenario.
* Doing a shrimp boil this evening. I got a weird craving that just came up out of the blue. That should keep me fed for a couple of days. Base liquid will start with Long Board Lager.
* I love Jeopardy and have watched it faithfully for 45 years plus. I have to admit that I am starting to really struggle with clues about current popular culture, especially TV/streaming shows. I have no idea how contestants keep up with all the obscure (to me) shows streaming now on various platforms.
There are the mainstream things, example White Lotus, that I know and watch, but for every one I have heard of there must be 10, I haven’t.
* I am so happy that the coach of my University of Kentucky Wildcats is Mark Pope. I don’t think it can be said enough that what he has managed to accomplish this year with this team (that I absolutely love) he has managed to cobble together and coach up to be more than ever expected, is amazing. We might not have the horses to go all the way and I know it isn’t likely, but we certainly have the heart, and I will be cheering, and probably cussing like crazy, to try to lift them up. No matter what, this season will have a special place in my heart and I am sure looking forward to what can be possible in our future!
* Go Cats!! Beat everybody!! 💙

Imagine getting a home game as an 8 seed and getting run out of the gym.
Agree. Even Matt Amodio, Immodium or whoever he is said last week that those clues should be relegated to Colin Jost's Jeopardy show for the same reasons.
Kelsey is the guy who may start stuff, with his big mouth, but he always has someone to protect him vibe.
