I bet Joe Burrow is well aware!!! 😋

Or maybe a convenient Five Way?

It’s what makes this one of the best things in the sports universe!

Today I root for every team in a dark jersey. Same with tomorrow, with the exception of Xavier.

Be careful. He seems nice enough, but he’s a bit off and will break into your car at a tailgate! I swear! And I was sitting in the car when this stranger rips my door open! I almost needed a change of clothes, and the rental car people weren’t going to be too happy either!

Was that in Orlando? I’ve been to the tournament in Orlando several times. Great memories!

I don’t care WHERE he comes back, but if he’s cleared and he wants to do it, I hope it works out for him. Seeing that as it happened was one of those “you’ll always remember the moment” things.

I need to see more of Alabama, but the big kid for Perdue looked impressive in the conference tournament. I mostly watch Big East (Xavier guy) until this time of year.

Between Princeton and Furman alone, I completely believe that.

Not quite as good to make a vinaigrette with. 🤷‍♂️

It could be worse. I had a buddy who went to UGA and went back to Athens, GA to be in his college roommates wedding. His buddy got a DUI driving a few blocks from the reception back to the hotel. Great way to start a marriage!

I had an encounter with Wild Turkey on my 19th BDay. A “friend” tried to buy me 19 shots of Wild Turkey. Needless to say, it was not pretty and it did not end well. I no longer drink any brown liquor. The only liquor I’ll generally have is an occasional margarita on the rocks with salt. I used to be a beer guy, but transitioned to wine years ago. I’m boring, but hoping for some points for consistency.

I’m Irish, but Irish cuisine is not my thing. We had steak and potatoes almost every night growing up (except Friday Fish Fries, of course - Catholic too) and will generally avoid potatoes, even eating around them in chowders. I also have red meat rarely, almost always getting seafood when we go out. Having said that, @flaz mentioned prime rib in the BDay thread, and now I’m researching how to satisfy this intense craving! It’s like Pavlov just rang the bell! As far as fluids, that is where I’m a bit more Irish.

#13 Furman wins over UVA as well. I never would have guessed that either. What percentage of brackets are ruined already? Like 97%???

I didn’t see anything on this yet, but I’m having a great afternoon watching this wild ride! The #15 seed Princeton takes out #2 Arizona in the first wave of upsets!

Happy $%%#%&* birthday! We wouldn’t want you driving under the influence of BBQ, or joints. But have a birthday beer or two on @Gugny. He’ll reimburse you, he’s that kinda guy! 🍺 🍻 He’ll get an Uber too if you have too many ribs. Damn you…..now I can’t get prime rib out of my mind now. It’s been a while……

When we were poor newlyweds our big treat was a trip to Ruby Tuesdays on Friday nights. A couple drafts, a strawberry daiquiri and we’d shared the sampler platter. Add a roll of quarters, and you have a Galaga marathon! Now, decades later, we are looking to get a Galaga game to go in the basement. We were never into video games, but we got hooked on Galaga and we’ll stop and play anytime we pass a machine. We had a little box that would hook up to the TV and play at home, but there is something about having the arcade machine and putting your body english into it. I had a brief encounter with Pong when it first came out (1972, I just looked it up). I wonder how many here have never played that riveting game, or might not even recognize the name. Aren’t we all???

“The distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Albert Einstein.

Forget being surrounded, imagine being the source of that negativity. What a miserable existence that must be.

If you find your foot stuck in the railroad tracks with a high speed train approaching, just put on your headphones and close your eyes. All will be fine. As far as you know.

You did that, didn’t you? It sounds like it worked on some analytics girl.

It’s like having your own little Federal Reserve Bank. Piggy bank doesn’t cover this. But you can dip in when you need to.

Is that allowed??? 😋 These contracts are money in the bank for teams, especially those with deep pockets. Set away for a rainy day, because we could put the money up front in escrow. .

With him and Spencer Brown, the rest of the league could not compete with us…….in rebounding. Maybe it averages out? 🤷‍♂️

I’d rather have Beane do that than see an idiot like Rex try to win the season in a meaningless press conference. Full disclosure: I didn’t see the presser, so I maybe shouldn’t comment.
