I wonder how Todd Svoboda feels this week?

I wonder how MaxPowerrr feels making a Sunday joke on a Wednesday?

 

[Mattox]

New Cal Cast today. No guest. Just about this year's team and Selection Sunday/NCAA Tournament.

Why do I so easily get duped into eating Panera Bread for lunch? It's awful. Just awful. You know how hard you have to work to make a basic *** turkey sandwich unappealing?? And the portions are a joke.

- I was considering a trip to Indy before the invite even though I hate Indy and will never come back never ever ever again. I appreciate it and promise to come strong. Looking forward to soaking it all in without the pressure of gameday. Expect an Adrian-level early morning arrival.

- March is fun but what an emotionally taxing month.

- You don't want me or BKH in your bracket in the College Basketball Name Game.

- Featured on my all-time classic March Hype playlist:

Till I Collapse- Eminem
Eye of the Tiger
Run This Town- Hova
Let's Go- Trick Daddy
Jump Around
No Easy Way Out- Robert Tepper
Lose Yourself
We Will Rock You
All the Above- Maino
Power- Yeezy
N's in Paris
Thunderstruck- AC/DC

It's 30 gotdang degrees outside.

Feels like 15. I want my March back!

 

[mashburned]

Hope Gillie is OK. Acting better now?

Or maybe Gillie just hates you now. Understandable.

panera = mac n cheese [smoke]

 

[BBdK]

Maino [laughing]

Adrian-level early is pretty damned early, bub. That will mean you have to arrive and be cracking one open before anyone else is even up or getting ready. Good luck. I'll either be at Patachou or out scoping the Ice situation.

Does tgh's 4 year-old like his filet mid-rare, or medium?

Totally forgot. Y'all let me know and I'll put in a call to my guy at St Elmo's so they can get his wagyu cut ready. TIA.

 

[BBdK]

Medium Rare since he was 2, iirc. Only REAL truffle butter too, none of that infused oil ********.

Hopefully, with age, he'll learn about the finer marbled cuts.

- You don't want me or BKH in your bracket in the College Basketball Name Game.

I mean, my job is basically an advanced College Basketball Name Game now.

 

[BBdK]

Was thinking last night about the prep that's involved for the job, probably underappreciated.

Neither New Orleans or Mt. St Mary's players had names on their jerseys...and Anderson/Kellog were calling the game (by name) in the flow, clearly not referencing a sheet while doing so. I get that's their job to be prepared, but most people don't realize (I assume) the work that goes into being able to do that, especially on short notice in the tourney for teams they've never seen.

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

Speaking of Brian Anderson, he is becoming one of my favorite CBS guys. His call of the Notre Dame elite 8 game in 2015 was fantastic.

 

[buckethead1978]

We are up to 50+ entries. Good job GYERO'ers and an all-time number of lurkers. Here's the link again:

How do I pay?

Anderson was also a last minute replacement in that game for Marv Albert, who was supposed to work it but I think he had the flu.

And in relation to the broadcast of that particular game, maaaaaaaaaaaaaan, EFF Len Elmore and his jacked up teeth.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

I like Kevin Harlan and Ian Eagle and Bill Rafferty. Most other folks can get pumped - JEEM Nantz, in particular.

 

[Geese Feeder]

Len Elmore can DIAF.

Loser.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

Little known fact:

most play by play and color guys are raging acoholics. Like, an inordinate number of them. Some in legendary fashion.

Pat Summerall, Harry Caray, David Feherty, Pat O'Brien, Howard Cosell, Bill Raftery, etc.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Harry Caray

Never would've guessed. The guy was only openly drunk on 95% of the broadcasts he was ever on.

 

[TransyCat09]

Anderson was also a last minute replacement in that game for Marv Albert, who was supposed to work it but I think was dressing up like a woman and biting a prostitute he paid to chill her body in a tub of ice to mimic the effect of having intercourse with a corpse.

IIRC

Larry Conley was on Leach Report yesterday and wasn't real high on the Cats chances.

Guess he hasn't read KENPOM

 

[cawoodsct]

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

KenPom:

11> SMU
12> Baylor
13> Duke
14> Saint Marys

:joy:

 

[BBdK]

KenPom only counts when you want to use it for YOUR agenda/team. The rest of it is #fakerankings.

 

[GrandePdre]

How much pressure must be on Sean Miller this year? He's got a gift of a bracket as a 2 seed with Gonzaga as his 1 with a Final Four in his back yard looming. If he doesn't get there or win it this year, he may never get there.

 

[BBdK]

Sure he doesn't want to let Mattox down, either. Can't imagine.

 

[cawoodsct]

We need Miller to keep failing for another 6-8 years, so he comes here when Cal retires.

 

[_Chase_]

Seems like some KenPomBall on here posted something about him basically cooking the books in order to look correct at the end of the year. Apparently, I took that post as gospel because I don't give much of a **** about Kenny anymore.

 

[_Chase_]

Good point, Cawood. Kentucky definitely wants to hire a failure to follow Cal.

 

[GrandePdre]

I love these, but this one is :joy::joy::joy:

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Not sure I can handle watching Sean Miller sweat through his suits on the sideline. We need someone without sweat glands or pores imo

 

[cawoodsct]

Good point, Cawood. Kentucky definitely wants to hire a failure to follow Cal.

Just be close enough like Cal was before he arrived would be fine by me.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Is Ken Pom a guy?

[tommyg4uk]

I think Archie Miller will be the better coach...let him coach NC State for a few years and recruit against heavyweights, then come in after Cal.

 

[_Chase_]

Is Ken Pom a guy?

Don't think so. I think her name is actually Kendra Pomeroy.

 

[BBdK]

Still give him the edge over that creeper Jerry Palm. What an awkward mess that guy is.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

I honestly thought Jerry Palm was 75 years old.

 

[SAECATFAN]

I am philosophically opposed to Kentucky hiring coaches that have won a national championship already. Just not sure the desired “I will kill someone to win a title” drive is there when they have already reached that summit, particularly when combined with a blockbuster Kentucky contract.

Sort of like PTI railing against max contracts for old ball players, I guess. In a perfect world Sean Miller would get close to answer any remaining questions, but not win it. Similar to Cal (who sucks) and Memphis.
