NCAA tournament 2011 — running thread

I know that game required a few drinks to make it entertaining, but sheesh, zag.

 

Maybe. TCU begs to differ on that point.

 

"Playing the right way," taken all the way.

Outshone only by the 41-37 Sparty-Wiscy sludge-fuckfest in the 2000 FF.

One of these years we'll have an NCAA game in the 20s.


the ball's gone flat
and there you are
chugging down the court
like a busted car

And now tonight
it's just as well
we know how it looked
we know how it smells

Just one steaming moment, dropped down the hole
One steaming moment, it circles the bowl

it's getting thick
and it's getting deep
the clock runs down
the scoreboard creeps

And when it's done
win or lose
you know how it smells
cause inside you knew

Just one steaming moment, time to enjoy the go
One steaming moment, deep inside you, you know

Feel the ache in your gut
feel the gas in your bowel
Feel the pain in your butt
Think you'll hurl in a towel

More than a fiasco,
It's a goddamn disgrace
They should send the game tape
on a rocket to space

Yes, one steaming moment, a dull pounding pain
One steaming moment, it slides down the drain...

 

Just consider it the long-awaited sequel to "rancid, rotten, soggy, saggy, splitting, flaccid, flabby tubes of rotting animal flesh, languidly floating in a fetid bath of malodorous swill."

 

Only you can take what's been discussed on here and turn it into that. The queen of hyperbole you are.

 

THAT was the National Championship Game?

I know the whole "A win is a win is a win" philosophy; But good grief; That was unbelievably bad.

12-64. 3 2-point baskets.

Pew.

 

Question: Who won?

Answers:

A. Butler.
B. UConn.
C. Everyone who went to bed at halftime.

 

Those CLANKS from the mics under the basket rang in my ears all night when I was trying to sleep.

 

I had "C".

Sure don't feel like I lost or missed anything.

 

Same here.

 

Combined shooting of 31-119. That sucks for junior high. There is a rough cutoff figure for where good defense ends and horrible offense begins, and these two were well below it. Butler was about 20,000 leagues beneath it.
Here was an example of the built-in problem of "playing the game the right way." Sometimes a team needs a guy who can the play the wrong way and still score. That is, somebody who can selfishly take over, ignore his teammates, and create his own shots and most of all free throws. Butler's best players had no experience in being selfish, and their virtue killed them.
I wonder what the Youngstown State players thought about this game?
