We are fucked . . no way to come back now . ..

one last chance. Please Oregon pull off the upset for all of us fair-weather viewers

 

[HD Springer]

With :57 seconds left there's still time. Oregon needs to stop shooting threes and drive the ball. Wow what a fun yet painful finish. @t-dub im glad I've got no skin in this one. It would be a tough one to stay positive with.

What a Unbelievable finish this has turned into.

Well damn. Sorry but I'm not a very big North Carolina fan. I was really pulling for Oregon.

 

[hinglemccringleberry]

fuck

 

[t-dub]

Fuck . .. by one point . . .

 

[hinglemccringleberry]

dude thats more painful than just getting blown out.

So many missed wide open shots by the ducks down the stretch. All they needed was one more of those 3's to fall. smh

 

[t-dub]

Yeah . .. we failed on the shooting, no doubt about it . .. however it is an important step for our community and university moving foward.

NEXT . . . . we talk about F-1 or Indy Car where the real legends live. Seasons starting now . . .

 

[hinglemccringleberry]

and not getting those freethrow rebounds at the end, really?
OR still has better weed. Was in Portland a few months ago and i picked up some amazing blueberry kush. I miss it

Fuck . .. by one point . . .

I was rooting for you, t-dub. Tough loss for sure. I know it's no consolation to you, but fwiw they did cover the 4.5 point spread, so that's my own personal silver lining. They played strong against a very tough NC team. Congrats on a helluva run.

Thanks @Stu - If we had Boucher, maybe, who knows . . . shit happens . .. I'm glad we put up a good fight.

Baseball is back people! Woo hoo!!!! Time for Uncle Hud.

 

[2 Cycle]

Female announcers in baseball. Do not want. Just not a fan, not even being sexist or anything. Just seems forced and out of place. It sucks

 

[Morty]

Not a fan of Jessica Mendoza I take it. You don't enjoy her insights ?

 

[hinglemccringleberry]

Really needed the Zags to win tonight to help the cause of 'mid major' underdogs when they play the big boys. Booo UNC

 

[grokit]

Sir Gergor?

Rough night for "The Mountain"...

Congrats to the tarheels that was a gritty win.

 

[TeeJay1952]

A close, competitive game...just not a good one.
If NC made their 3's it would have been blowout.
If Gonzaga made their 2's it would have been a blowout.

Michigan and Gonzaga both suffered White Boy Fatigue in their final game of season.

 

[hinglemccringleberry]

So glad I didn't stay home to watch that game. Especially since the favorites won. From what I heard on ESPN radio it was cringeworthy basketball and a sloppy performance by both teams.

Anyone watching Pens vs Caps

Was a good game regardless, and was entertained even when down 0-2 , they just had to give hope though

Pray for Sid!! Is he fragile? He gets injured so much. Or is he just always targeted cause he's so good? Idk the answer but sometimes I think we even play better without him.....but such talent...

 

[hinglemccringleberry]

Loving what the Niners new GM Lynch pulled off in his first draft. Funny how a guy with no prior NFL front office experience has already outdone our former GM Trent Baalke who had a bunch of experience yet still managed to run the team into the ground.

Go Pens!

 

[biohacker]

If the Pens win, I think the Oilers will too. If the Caps win, I think the Sens will too.

I research conspiracies way too much, but I do think like most things in life, the NHL is rigged with officiating because of Bettman. All about the $$$ like most things in life IMO.

 

[duff]

I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist. I just think Bettman is a nug.

Who are you rooting for @biohacker?

 

[biohacker]

I stopped rooting for anyone after I have up on the leafs about 15 years ago I enjoyed the conference finals 3 times in the 90's, but that Gretzky BS resulting in the Habs winning the cup in 93 really pissed me off. At least I have back to back Blue Jays memories

You think Crosby is done? Personally can't stand the kid myself.

 

[duff]

I feel for you.
I'd imagine those were tough years to be a Leafs fan.

Hell no Sid isn't done.
He had another great year!

Ha! Those were the GOOD years! It's ever since then that has been tough! At least it was somewhat fun in the first round this year, rebuilding as always lmao

Dude, if Sid doesn't want to end up like Belak (RIP), he better retire and enjoy some cannabis to maintain some level of cerebral health IMO. I'm paying the price presently for pushing too hard in my profession, and it's not worth it in the end. The brain (and body) can only endure so much...

Back to the game!
