Games lost without Coach K don't count. They'll be a 2 or 3 Seed and play in NC and the East. Or whatever the easiest bracket is. Probably with Gonzaga as their 1 Seed.

Not so fast--North Carolina is obsessed with the transgender bathroom issue, so there are no NCAA Tourney games in the state this year.

Greenville, South Carolina was chosen as the new site for those first and second round games. Interestingly enough, it will be the first NCAA events in South Carolina since 2002 because they finally agreed to remove the Confederate Flag from the Capitol last year.

Such a wonderfully progressive part of the country.

I know I would be nervous as hell but being put in the same region with Duke wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing since the last 4 times UK and Duke have been put in the same region one of the 2 have won the championship.

Bracketology is dumb tho.

IU scared me last year, they don't this year. Bryant and OG haven't improved a lick...OG wasn't even starting until Morgan went out with an injury -- feel bad for the kid, hope he's okay. To be fair, it's hard to tell with Bryant, b/c they get him the ball only slightly more than we do Bam. They seem much more interested in establishing Deron Davis down low, while letting Bryant roam the perimeter. Just a bizarre squad this year.

They miss Hartman more than I expected.

Robert Johnson is the best player on the team, and while he's a very nice college guard, that's ridiculous. Tom Crean is a joke. At this point, I'd welcome the rematch -- but they are a loss or two away from being square on that bubble. :100points:

Having thoroughly covered the downside of BBdK's homebound situation, seeing that IU breakdown did make me wonder if all of this led to more focus on CBB GAMBOL.

As with most, I'm assuming we'll see Duke and Louisville at minimum before leaving our NCAA region.

I'm not on the Facebook, but the hens and MLM are just about at critical mass. Saw a Doterra window sticker on a beaten-up Vibe the other day - bet that pic isn't on the FB feed.

Also, I don't understand the lass' need for a new purse on a pretty regular basis. That is NOT a hill to die on, though.

I watch all of IU & UofL's games, that's nothing new. I'm a secret fan. [eyeroll]

...actually been working on Euro '17dk. My sympathetic wife agreed to a 10 day vacation around Derby, we had decided previously to take a year off from anything major but looks like we are going to squeeze one more in before looking at new puppies -- so that's given me something to keep me occupied and spirits up. Just finished the bookings today.

Barcelona ---> Athens ----> Santorini [cheers]

If I'm not healed by then, I'll just jump out of the plane. Was back in the ER & hospital this morning w/ some sort of bust capillary or some **** in my wound, which led to me bleeding like a faucet. :cry: #silvernitrate


-We'll have the toughest #2 in our bracket, which will be UNC, Duke, or Kansas.

Watched that Florida vs South Carolina game last night. Painful but say what you want about bball IQ but the SEC has some athletes. South Carolina has legit length and athleticism.

Gotta love what Martin has done there...they should have been in the dance last year. They are 12-0 w/ Thornwell in the lineup. He & Dozier are an underrated top backcourt.

They haven't made the dance since 2004. Hard to believe with as much of a pain in the *** as they've been to our program seemingly.

Was leaving that cyst in there not an option? At this point it seems like it might've been better just to deal with whatever that little rascal brought you, rather than digging him out like he's holed up in the caves of Afghanistan.

Dozier can hoop. South Carolina kid. Good for that program.

Their arena, Colonial Life Arena, is maybe the 2nd nicest arena in the SEC. There's good talent in that state. Zion Williamson Is a junior from Spartanburg and is fng ridiculous.

Can't believe the Rider/Sienna deal got no play in here. One of the funniest coaching moves I've ever seen. [laughing]

@tommyg4uk Im actually a fan of group chats with two different sets of my boys back home. Allows us all to talk **** to each other and keep up with whatever it is their kids are up to these days. Now the group text for a night out or a house get together, negative.

-Headed to Steamboat at 7am tomorrow morning. Stoked to get back out on the mountain and hell, just to see some elevation. Florida can be depressingly flat.

The Ex from Tampa is out there with her family which is fantastic...but I already paid for plane and lift tickets so whatever. My best bud from
Chicago was supposed to be there the first 4 days and my dad the last 3 but my buddy's wife tore her ACL warming up for Colorado on some ****** icy hills in Wisconsin. At first, we thought it was going to be just he and I but she put a stop to that real quick.

So now I'm solo for the first 3 days out there. Should be interesting.

-Started boxing today. Seems like something I'll fall in love with quickly. Excited for that changeup in exercise.

-Speaking of flat Florida, lately when I drive up to the mainland I get a little anxious when I can't see the ocean. I feel like I'm trapped and just want to get to the coast. Obviously central Florida is horrible but it's anytime I'm away from the coast. Weird.

*Going to give Le Moo another shot. Was disappointed the first time around. Hopefully it will deliver tonight.

*Wife starts a new gig on Monday. She's been looking to get out of what she's been doing for the last 10 years and finally found an opportunity she wanted to take. Director of Customer Service for the Louisville Water Co. Pretty good benefits and the biggest thing for her is it should be little to zero travel. I admire her stepping out of her comfort zone to take on a new challenge.

*Jimmy Pastos played it like it should have been played.

*Think we roll South Carolina. Won't have two bad games in a row.

Yeah, I'm sure leaving a massive baseball size infection right above his ******* was something the Doc just overlooked. BBdk, you should let ambulance _chaser_ represent your malpractice suit.

It's been there several years, and was getting worse and infections more frequent. It was very painful and annoying. I'd put off the removal a few times already b/c of what I'd read about what that could entail.

I mean, this is GYERO where we share what's going on with our lives for the most part. I've been out recovering from surgery, which of course I was going to mention & update considering I've been off work over 2 weeks now -- but never imagined so many of you would be so damn interested in the details of this.

Google, or better yet, YouTube 'Pilondial Cyst' and I promise you'll see all you want to see or know for the rest of your life in a matter of seconds.

Did find out today that the reason mine was so extreme & the incision so large is that there were 4 separate 'sinuses' involved, whatever that means. That's about all I know, sorry I can't provide much more information.

-Problem with IU is not having Yogi. Take him off the team and they're pretty marginal. Plus we owe them a lick. The pieces don't work well. Also, like Duke, it's hard to be elite without a really good PG especially if you don't like to play D.

-Employee reviews :weary: Love working with my dudes but these 2 days are exhausting.

-Night 1: found a bed bug in my bed so I kind of slept on the couch. Night 2: Woke up by Pope snoring and had to move to the couch.

So I paid for 2 nights to sleep on a couch b/w the two loudest snoring people I've ever met, bonzo is really close.
