Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

In my day, never was longer.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Republicans in disarray!

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

You are here: Home / Sports / Big East Champs!!

    I don’t know how the hell that guy made the last shot.

    And btw, that last bucket by Georgetown was a travel. He took 4-5 steps.

    The latest Bracketology has GT as a 2 seed, which if true is a joke imo. They’re good, but from #22 in the nation to a 2 seed?

    Georgetown deserves the #2 from how they played all tournament, no doubt. 22 in the polls, I don’t care, they made their case.

    As far as WVU, I doubt they’ll get the #1 over Duke at this point…but they should easily be considered and might just miss that cut.

    @gopher2b:

    I’m thinking more like a #2, which is pretty damn good. I don’t think in the top 1-5 the seedings matter so much. You’re going to get a team that you should beat without too much effort in the first round, guaranteed.

    Congratulations to the Mountaineers.

    From my conference, I really hope St. Mary’s, who I normally hate, get selected for an at-large bid.

    Have to be a 1 through 4 to won the Pod (location). They’ll get that pod ownership.

    1’s are set: Syracuse, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky. Locks.

    An 11-part series on Life on Discovery? Sounds like an attempt to sell DVDs.

    And it’s narrated by Oprah.

    FAIL.

    Congrats Cole and Mountaineer fans.

    I was rooting for the ‘eers because I hate Georgetown (born, raised, and still live in the ‘Cuse). WVU just earned themselves a solid #2 seed. Can’t wait until the selection show tomorrow. Hopefully ‘Cuse retains their #1 seed and plays in the Buffalo pod.

    The Gophers won 4-2, to force a third game tomorrow night. There’s no way we make it to the NCAAs if we don’t win the conference tournament, so our next loss is our last. There’s not a chance in hell we make it, but I really want to beat the Fucking Sioux tomorrow.

    I didn’t even realize that West Virginia and Georgetown had varsity hockey teams. Congratulations to the Mountaineers. I think you’re going to draw Bemidji State in the first round.

    @Comrade Mike: They’re 7 in the RPI with the #1 SOS. OOC wins over Butler, Duke, Washington, and Temple. Either they’re a weak 2 or a strong 3.

    @Comrade Kevin: Didn’t St. Mary’s win the WCC tournament?

    Go Hoyas!

    @madmommy:

    Losing in the semi’s of the conference tourney ain’t good.

    True, but the rest of season is too solid.

    And I hate Syracuse and I’m still calling lock.

    themann1086

    @madmommy: Actually they lost in the Quarterfinals. This of course is central to your point ;)

    And grats Cole, both for last night’s win over my Irish and the Conference championship. They earned it.

    The only way Kansas loses is if they beat themselves. Provided they come to play in the tournament, might as well pencil in the Jayhawks as national champs.

    @asiangrrlMN: Hehehe. Mine. Mine! MINE!! Actually I would if I could but there’s that whole damn distance thingie. I bought my brother one (though a different kind) if that helps at all. Oh and I freely confess to slacking on making the cookies this weekend, but as I was productive otherwise for the most part, I’m not feeling hugely guilty about it. At least not yet.

    @asiangrrlMN: I bet if DQ went 24 hours or closed at midnight it would work really really well. Can you imagine being drunk and craving a Dilly Bar? I could totally see that happening.

    @Yutsano: Around here, when she says the DQs aren’t open yet, she means that they’re closed for the winter. gbear disagrees, but I know that at least some of them still are.

    Well my bills are paid for the most part and housework is pretty much caught up. If I drank I’d get smashed right now.

    Bob Huggins builds winning basketball programs. Of course, it’s likely no WVU men’s basketball player will ever graduate until Huggins leaves, but that only bothers namby-pamby types who think that “student-athlete” still means anything.

    As for the Gophers, I have no idea where today’s game came from. 27 points better than Purdue? If that doesn’t get ’em into the tournament, nothing will.

    And as stated above, it’s all irrelevant; my sister’s alma mater, Kansas, is going to win the whole thing.

    Common Sense

    @Elisabeth:

    Still, at the end of the day it’s merely a big 10 title. It’s not like it means anything.

    I kid, I kid. I’m hoping the rumors are true and Texas joins the Big 10.

    @Michael #52: Well, I have only contempt for both Thomases — Clarence for his judicial opinions and Virginia for her political views — but honestly, I don’t have a problem with her occupying her time in setting up Tea Parties if she wants to. Now if a TP-related case came before the Supremes, and Thomas failed to recuse himself, *that* I’d have a problem with.

    Yes John as an ACC (Clemson) fan who didn’t have a horse in the race, I very much agree with you about the officiating

    The only good team in the Pac-10 this year is the Stanford women. The Pac-10 may get two teams into the men’s tournament by virtue of Cal’s strength of schedule (although the Bears lost most of the games that give them that high SOS). But San Diego State’s win over UNLV means the Mountain West probably gets FOUR.

    Nice win for WVU, but if we win the ACC Tournament we get the fourth number one seed – and most likely get the Salt Lake City regional and a relatively easy route to the Final Four. And all you Dook haters can just suck on it.

    Waiting to hear the woofing from DougJ when Upstate New York’s three teams in the tournament (Cuse, Cornell, and Siena) all win their first-round games.

    And speaking of bad calls, the highlight of the day – that ridiculous dunk by the Vermont guy – should have been an offensive foul. He cleared out with his off arm.

    The WV women were in the Big East final, too. But my alma mater is pretty much unstoppable. Go Huskies!
