Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

Good I just love it when both teams just stand there and do nothing the final minute of the game. That's so cool.

 

We had a top manager at AT&T named Dan Hurley. One day I took great delight in showing him the agate section that proclaimed he would be the new head coach at Wagner and we got a chuckle out of it. Little did we know …

 

I feel like Dan Hurley wants to be a huge villain and can’t quite pull it off.

 

Lord Farquaad of Storrs

 

The poop is pooped
And there Cal is
He's pushing a baby carriage
He's a man on the run
And all the years
Everyone knows
Just how much talent
He's pissed away
And now it shows
IN ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU'RE SIGNING ON THE DOTTED LINE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, FIVE YEARS IN ARKANSAS IS A LONG TIME

 

He is completely fucking insane, but he's not a bad guy. He's not Coach K or most of the upper echelon coaches.

 

I listen to a two-hour syndicated "Yacht Rock" radio show on Sunday evenings (don't judge!) and because of the Final Four, the host played the Luther Vandross "One Shining Moment" song. It sucked even compared to Ambrosia, "On My Own" and the rest of the Yacht Rock selections!

 

You're gonna listen to a SYNDICATED Yacht Rock show (syndication, what is this, 1989?!) and YOU'RE gonna pass judgment on schmaltz? Sir, I challenge you to a duel!

 

I'll let you know if there's recordings of the host (Captain Adam!) having a Casey Kasem-style meltdown.

 

Apparently, there was some fuckery with One Shining Moment. Some eagle-eyed Nebraska fans on my feed noticed that the dejection clip of a Nebraska player they showed was from the Big Ten Tournament. They're right. Nebraska wore white in their NCAA Tournament game and that clip shows the Nebraska player in their red road jersey.

 

Anyone seen a one shining moment for the women's tourney?

The effort this year was...predictable.

 

I haven't watched any basketball of any kind in years.

It's just another blip on a screen.
