March Madness 2025, call it!

Great games yesterday. Every time Bama shot a three-pointer I just assumed it was going in. Too funny.

The night cap was a great comeback by Texas tech over Arkansas being down 16 points.

Tech has a kid that grew up a little over an hour from The City. How he ended up in Lubbock who knows.

For his homecoming he buries a three to send the game into overtime. Then follows it up with the game-winning shot with seconds left.

Should be some good ones today.

Had a wild one in The City.

Home court advantage for Golden.

Must have taken his boys to Georgio's where all the hilltoppers like to go for pizza. Those calzones give you extra energy.

What's up with the SEC and Jewish coaches?

Golden, Pearl.

Looks like Flag and the douchebags are going to be too much for bama.

Nice run Sam.

Too bad Texas Tech couldn’t make a free throw.

I think this may be the first time in my life I’ve ever wanted to see Duke win. And it’s been a long time. There was obnoxious Dookie fan in my freshman dorm at UCSD in ‘73 and it was down hill from there.

At least they’re not APSEC.

Sorry about that.

How's your football coach?

Unbeaten AFAIK.

Duke is GOOD.

Tide never got off a shot that wasn’t altered by Duke’s length. Inside. Outside. Oof. What a night.

You weren't the only team to get blown out by them.

Good year. Maybe you need to upgrade to a Jewish coach?

Very impressive. Strong, talented, disciplined. Fucking freshmen.

I saw Flagg scrimmage against the USA Olympic Team last year as a 17 year old and he was incredible.

Duke makes so few mistakes. And if Bama got a stop, Duke scored the next possession. I don’t know if the Tide ever shut them down on consecutive trips! They’re crazy good.

Why limit your argument to the SEC m2? Is Jon Scheyer not Jewish???

Might end up with 75% of the final four coaches eating pastrami next weekend.

Damn straight, Lance.

The Third Ward is ballin'. Maybe too much for Rocky top.

The 14 nails it.

Corned beef on rye.

Lox and cream cheese on a salt bagel.

For the other two.

Mikey · Post by **Mikey** » Mon Mar 31, 2025 3:37 am

This is probably obvious goyim fare but I’ll go with lox and cream cheese on a toasted “everything” bagel, with some thinly sliced red onion and a few capers.

Watching the tournament games, it dawned on me that there’s one particular injury I will never have to be concerned with…it’s extremely doubtful that I will ever bump my head on a rim.

Hope the Third Ward smacks the douchebags around.

I'm taking Florida over Auburn because they have the younger Jewish coach.

This is all very scientific.

Should be fun.

Mikey · Post by **Mikey** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 9:44 pm

Should be a couple of good games. I'm thinking Dook will probably go all the way. Florida over War Eagle.

Too bad it couldn't be Duke and Houston in the finals.

FiatLux · Post by **FiatLux** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 9:50 pm

Houston has some ballers. Wouldn't surprise me if they took out the number one seed Duke

Fuck those douchebags..

Sudden Sam · Post by **Sudden Sam** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 10:10 pm

I’m leaning Florida and Duke.

I may be giving Duke too much credit because of the way they abused Alabama, but their D is about as good as Houston’s and I feel like they can handle the Coogs’ D.

FiatLux · Post by **FiatLux** » Sun Apr 06, 2025 12:12 am

This is nice. Watching hoops without stress. The Western conference in the NBA is causing me a shitload of that stuff.

The three and eight seeds are about one game apart from each other with six games to go. Playin or home court in the opening round.

Was that the one where it looked like he took off a little early? I thought for sure he’d come up short. Must be nice to be able to fly.

That, and I've got a place in Houston and I can't stand fucking Duke.

I’ve been a Duke hater, BTW, for at least 50 years. But these guys are good, and not too disgusting. Maybe it has something to do with the coaching.

The last time I watched Dook the hotness was Zion Williamson. I remember him blowing a foot out the side of his shoe. I remember thinking, "this guy is going to hurt himself."

Dook rhymes with puke, which is what is usually the cause of death in a choking incident.
