  1. At the risk of making people sadder: if Gorilla was still alive and upright by April 2001, I’m pretty confident it would have been Gorilla/Bobby for the gimmick battle royal But yes, there’s a “Gorilla Monsoon commentating on Don Callis” match out there too. I can’t find it on YouTube right now but it’s a Kurrgan match.
  2. Gorilla Monsoon almost commentated the entire Vince Russo WWF era
  3. wondering what's a more interesting contrast between fanbases in a 16 seed play-in game.. Howard vs Wagner: Federally chartered HBCU vs a Lutheran college on Staten Island Grambling vs Montana State: Louisiana HBCU that used to be an Ag school vs Montana school that also used to be an Ag school
  4. my quick picks are trying to remember a few factors 1) teams that play scuzzy defense did well in the tournament last year and quite often in recent years 2) NCAA is randomly screwing a few teams geographically (especially in 7/10 matchups) 3) Rick Barnes always sucks in the tournament 4) Gonzaga is better in the tournament in years when they aren't great during the regular season So my quick picks for the final four are UConn, Arizona, Houston, and Gonzaga.
  5. in which Rick Pitino's son winning a conference tournament might have helped keep Rick Pitino out of the tournament
  6. got a play-in game for a 10 seed in case you wanted a reason to have to pay attention to play-in games before submitting your brackets
  7. NCAA doing their best to prevent another UConn/Florida Atlantic/Miami/San Diego State final four by putting UConn/FAU/SDSU in the same region this year
  8. Duquesne is in the tournament for the first time since 1977 after taking a big lead in the first half and having a very sloggy 2nd half Semi-related: i'm gonna try to pick every defense-heavy team I can in the tournament because this style is clearly suffocating college basketball and winning tourney games in the process
  9. and the Ivy League title game ends in brutal fashion for Brown as they choke away a 6 point lead with a minute left and Yale beats them with a layup at the buzzer after Brown missed 2 free throws (also Brown was playing for their first tourney bid since 1986)
  10. and this Saturday of championship games ends with Grand Canyon winning the WAC, and one of their guys dunking at the end of the game, leading to a UT-Arlington player trying to knock him over and another player throwing the basketball at the dunker. Also Grand Canyon got to shoot like 800 free throws on the way to a victory. Sunday: time to find out if Brown or Duquesne can end their tourney drought, or if Temple can make the tournament despite all logic to the contrary
  11. Oregon wins their tournament as the Pac 12 walks off into the sunset. Long Beach State wins their tournament with their head coach that they fired before the Big West tournament started. Also it's worth noting that the Akron/Kent State game ended in an astounding way (a Kent State player intentionally fouled with his team up 1) Edit: and Grambling is in the tournament for the first time ever
  12. today's autobids so far American East: Vermont MEAC: Howard Mountain West: New Mexico Big 12: Iowa State Big East: UConn MAC: Akron MAAC: Saint Peters ACC: NC State CUSA: Western Kentucky still got Pac-12, SWAC (Grambling State aiming for their first bid ever), Big West (Long Beach State fired their coach this week and now they're playing for an autobid), and the WAC left tonight Tomorrow it's Brown/Yale for the Ivy League title, Florida/Auburn in SEC, Duquesne/VCU in A10, Temple/UAB in AAC, and Wisconsin/Illinois for the Big 10 So, there's a 16-19 Temple team playing for a title and Duquesne hasn't made a tournament since the 1970s and Brown hasn't made it since 1986
  13. last Friday: a Temple game is under investigation for suspicious betting this weekend: Temple wins 4 games in a row to make the AAC title game as an 11 seed
  14. the magic of conference tournament season, when Houston is averaging under a point per minute in the title game (34 points with 3 minutes left in the game, on the way to being 30-balled by Iowa State)
  15. Russ looking for the most subtle way to suggest having Justin Fields be Kordell Stewart so that Russ can keep playing QB
  16. Just thought up the idea of the State Patrol being flunkies for Big Bubba during the Ray Traylor WCW run. Guessing Bubba couldn’t bully the State Patrol and say that state patrolmen aren’t real cops like prison guards, since wrestlers prefer not pissing off highway patrolmen if they can avoid it.
  17. the Saturday schedule if anybody is interested in constantly watching Conference title games American East: UMass Lowell at Vermont, 11am (Eastern) on ESPN2 MEAC: Howard vs Delaware State, 1pm on ESPN2 Mountain West: San Diego State vs New Mexico, 6 on CBS Big 12: Houston vs Iowa State, 6 on ESPN Big East: UConn vs Marquette, 6:30 on Fox MAC: Kent State vs Akron, 7:30 on ESPN2 MAAC: Saint Peters vs Fairfield, 7:30 on ESPNU ACC: North Carolina vs North Carolina State, 8:30 on ESPN CUSA: UTEP vs Western Kentucky, 8:30 on CBS Sports Network PAC 12: Oregon vs Colorado, 9 on FOX Big West: Long Beach State vs UC Davis, 9:30 on ESPN2 SWAC: Grambling State vs Texas Southern, 9:30 on ESPNU WAC: Grand Canyon vs UT Arlington, 11:30 on ESPN2
  18. Had a 2 hour delay at Indian Wells due to bees. Then the beekeeper showed up:
  19. Clearly the Varsity Club angle here involves finally getting Kevin Sullivan back into the WWE for the first time since the 1970s Also, Kevin Sullivan might look just as scary these days with his Whitey Bulger look than he looked in the 80s trying to be Charles Manson
  20. as a Canadian citizen, Chris Jericho can run for the UK Parliament
  21. Marquise "Hollywood" Brown to the Chiefs
  22. Jericho would want to be in Kate Middleton's segments to get the rub off of her recent popularity
  23. if Kate Middleton showed up on AEW Dynamite, I think they could average 825k for the show. Depending on if she shows up during the part of the show where people are switching off of Big Bang Theory and some of them stick around
  24. Really, if not for the whole desire to end the show with Mone, they should have ended the night with the implosion of Bang Bang Scissor Gang. Putting Joe's title defense that early in the show was sort of an "angle alert" thing which really didn't lead to much of an angle aside from a reminder that "Swerve still wants to get Joe". This probably isn't just a AEW thing, but TV main events almost exist in an isolation chamber where you don't see the people in that match until just before they go on.
  25. the dancing I remembered from last night was more about the hand movements
