King Hippo - November 26, 2021November 26, 2021

Congratulations on surviving another gluttinous holiday. We will speak softly out of respect for the massively hungover. The Shield paired the traditional No-Fuck Lions with the Bearistocrats! this season. You might expect hilarity to ensue, and the participants did NOT disappoint. The game was close throughout, a fact overshadowed by its

It's a fine slate of action, too. The footy gods want you warmed up for the real shit come Sunday afternoon. SO CLOSE!! Start things off with Man City hosting the Redshite, with the winner laying claim to being top challenger to United (in the largely meaningless early going). There will

Don't mind me, I shall gladly sleep and bask in the sweet 36-hour glow of the Small Bears occupying sole possession of last place* in the NL Central. Gotta take those small victories when one can. #1W Gonzaga v. #1S U*NC (9:20, CBS) CBS got the final they wanted, and will likely

Seriously, this was almost one of the more intriguing, non-evil final events of college hooping EVAR...if Kenfucky could have just guarded that annoying white fucker. Now, I will have to stress drink tonight. Fuck you, Coach Cal. #7E South Carolina v. #1W Gonzaga (6:09, CBS) Frank "Heart of Darkness" Martin v. Mark

Don't know about you, but when I think ELITE HOOPS, I think Pacific Northwest (first two semifinalists) and SEC, Pawwwwwwwllllll (3 of today's 4 sides). Also, congratulations to Brocky's Hoosiers for making the best coaching hire of the offseason, NC State alumnus Arch Miller. He's a good man, and a

How do you ensure getting your cheer and/or dance squad featured on the preview post? You beat one of the hated Blues, that's how... #4S Butler v. #1S North Carolina (7:09, CBS) I've never wanted to hear a cringeworthy Jim Nantz "The Butler did it!!" pun MOAR in my entire stupid life.

Hey, at least we got rid of Notre Dame! Documenting the atrocities... #7MW Michigan v. #2MW Louisville (12:10, CBS) Welp, the Wolverines did not go out with a whimper like I thought they might. In fact, they looked good enough to represent an even fight with the Cardinals, the lone non-evil ACC

King Hippo - March 14, 2017March 13, 2017

Have you EVAR wanted to see the Venn Diagram of a CBS wet dream? Well, it's the cast of Big Bang Theory discussing the 2017 South Regional bracket. U*NC and Kentucky on a rose-petal lined street to a regional final matchup? YOU BET!! And UCLA along for the ride, just

Your “Selection Sunday” Evening Open Thread

It's a little late for a hangover song, but damned if I'm playing U2. So, it is Selection Sunday. Now, I typed this late-Friday night, because I plan to be drunk most of Sunday, and won't have the vision nor temperament to get this completed. CBS is taking 90 FUCKING MINUTES

FA Cup Starts in Earnest, No Everton/Foxy Footy TV??

Way to go, 2017. As of this writing, Fox Sports Go is all borken (won't let me log in under my cable login or brother-in-law's Dish Network one), so I can't even check for a random secondary feed. I will likely be stuck listening to the terrible radio

Due to family bullshit, much of my coverage was radio, and my TAEKS are evens less informed than usual. Caveat emptor. Oh, and HAPPY DAY AFTER OVEREATING SHAME, EVERYBODY!!! Crazy Eyez managed to go 31-37 and still stink up the field and single-handedly lose the game in Romonobyl-like fashion
