Ahhh, a Pasta Thursday just in time for Friday.
The State of Our Union
Let’s see if we can’t stir up more shit than President Obama.
Gulf Coast teams, ranked according to their T-Town seedings:
- Vanderbilt
- Tulane
- Alabama
- Ball State*
- Mississppi State
- Auburn
- Ole Miss
- MTSU
- Auburn-B
- Mississippi State-B
- Rhodes
Many of you have been asking about when we’ll make the Sectionals announcement. Surprise! This is it! With virtually every Gulf Coast team competing, this first major tournament of the Spring will also be the last. I see no need to carry this out longer than necessary. Everything gets decided this weekend. Ball State will serve as surrogate for LSU.
The Year of the Dragon
Actually, Ball State is in the blog conversation this week for a legitimate reason. Will Drumright–the fourth best player for Alabama last year (and the 8th man All-Conference)–is bringing the good times back home from Funcie. I love Brian Moore for seeding Pool B this way. Since Alabama and Ball State are practically playing for second place behind tOSU, this is the game I would totally go watch if I were the kind of person who wakes up before 9 A.M.
Prediction: If the wind blows and the sky turns black, Ball State will win this game. Chirp, chirp!
I also really like that Pool D sets up a rematch game for Vandy. Cincy can’t be too happy about it, but who cares? Amir Aschner felt like Cincy stole this one from them in the fall. This is one of two pools where GC could produce a winner, and it will come down to this game. Field 10, 3:30.
Class Participation!
First, match each of the following “Bold Predictions” with the respective team that proclaimed it. Then, rank each “Bold Prediction” in order from “most likely” to “you’re effing hammered”.
- “We will win our pool.”
- “We will finish Top 4 on Sunday.”
- “We won’t be there. Regardless, first games on Saturday and Sunday will be played, and won, still _____ed from the night before.”
Your team choices:
- Auburn
- LSU
- Mississipp State
Too Lame
So… um… you ever have weird fantasies? You know what I mean. Like, say, you’re sitting in class daydreaming about frisbee, right, and you’re thinking about tonight’s practice, and you’re all like, damn, wouldn’t it be awesome if–well, okay, total “Field of Dreams” moment, here–but wouldn’t it be awesome if out of the woods or parking lot some former World Champion would just, like, randomly show up? Just, like, I dunno, it’s stupid, but what if he materialized just to teach us how to play. What if he started coming out for no other reason than to make us a better team and teach us how to win? Wouldn’t that be awesome? But that’s a dumb idea. That would never happen to anyone. And if it did we’d probably just be like, meh, whatever.
Slo Your Roll, Bros
Remember the first time you ever played with a Frisbee? No, I don’t mean the first time you played ultimate in college. I mean the first time you ever played with a Frisbee. Now imagine that moment, instead of happening at a church picnic, happened at T-Town Throwdown.
In a family room somewhere in Madison suburbia, a group of high school guys are playing video games are ripping off Samuel L. Jackson-inspired monologues to pump themselves up for the weekend. Only they don’t realize this isn’t fiction, or even Pulp Fiction. They’re in deep.
Seriously, take it easy on these guys.
1. Auburn
2. Miss State
3. LSWHO?
How about you write about Tulane for once. They’re ranked second here but never get any press. Take the sec dick out of your mouth Rhodes.
There’s a whole vaguely disguised paragraph about Tulane.
In short, they need calling out. They deserve the number two spot because they earned it in the fall, but they aren’t going to keep it if they don’t pick it up in practice. Especially given they have one particularly invaluable resource at their disposal. After lunch I have some free time, I’ll expound.
Seriously, more in here about LSU who won’t even be there man.
There’s a whole vaguely disguised paragraph about Tulane.
And they know it’s about them.
And now there’s an entire post.
tulane?… katrina didn’t wipe them out? there irrelevant? guess we’ll see tomorrow?
