I suspect many of you are just as frustrated and furious about recent developments as I am. I’m grateful that between Curling and Basketball and American Gods I’ve had enough distraction that I have not yet damaged equipment I can ill afford to replace or gotten arrested (I’m always depressed, anxious, and angry, that’s my …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 2, Evening
Once again the division is arbitrary, I’ll drop it in the Regional Semis and Finals next week. As I say every year to TMC who rolls her eyes in that “You know you’re barking mad” way, only the first week is an insane crush of work. After that it gets much easier. Oh, and in …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals, Day 1- Evening
Oh, you thought I was being obnoxious? You don’t know how obnoxious I can be. Next time with bag pipes. This will be a very instructive night. You’ll be able to directly compare Mississippi State to UConn on ESPN. They are a powerful program, worthy of respect. Since they don’t play UConn head to head …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 2, Afternoon
Same Format as yesterday with New and Improved Results from the second day of the Round of 64. Actually there were a fair number of upsets with Iowa, Oklahoma, UC Irvine, Oregon, Washington, Liberty, and Ohio St. advancing to the Regional Quarterfinals. That’s 7 of 16 or 44% (well, 43.75%) which is pretty remarkable. Though …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals Day 1,- Afternoon
Letting my freak Flag fly. Ok, arguably Baylor had a better day than UConn because margin. They also had a weaker seed being #1 and all, I don’t begrudge them. Not so many upsets, there rarely are in the Women’s Tournament during the Round of 64 since there is such a difference between the Premier …

The Breakfast Club (Drugged orangutan and other bad ideas)
Welcome to The Breakfast Club! We’re a disorganized group of rebel lefties who hang out and chat if and when we’re not too hungover we’ve been bailed out we’re not too exhausted from last night’s (CENSORED) the caffeine kicks in. Join us every weekday morning at 9am (ET) and weekend morning at 10:30am (ET) to …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 1, Evening
Think it’s over? Four more games including one that won’t start before 9:40 so you better DVR Saturday Night Live (not that I’ve even checked if it’s a repeat). Evening Games Time Network Seed School Record Seed School Record Region 7:10 pm TBS 1 Gonzaga 31 – 3 9 Baylor 20 – 13 West …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Round of 64- Day 2, Late Afternoon
Not really it’s own thing so much as an arbitrary division. I have no quarrel with Baylor being a #1, never too soon to see them leave. Late Afternoon Games Time Network Seed School Record Seed School Record Region 3:30 pm ESPN2 5 Gonzaga 28 – 4 12 Little Rock 21 – 10 East …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 1, Afternoon
New and Improved with Special (and a subtly different pain in the ass) Table for Results. Oh, you want me to talk about it? Next week maybe when I’m not quite so sleep deprived and the load is easier. All about the process I am. Since I’m batch processing these you’ll get outcomes in the …
