GPJ> I saw your posting on Black Hippy in the rap video thread. Which led me to find Logic and DL his mixtape from dat piff.

Have you heard Make Dat ### Clap by Remo, it's pretty freakin' awesome. (fix the link because it censors the word ###)

edit; also, logic is kind of the ####, right?

This song is decent, not really my style. I'm a fairly minimalist "boom-bap" beat/three verses of ####-talking kind of guy.I liked some of Budden's stuff with Slaughterhouse, but it seems like they really went off the rails when they hooked up with Shady/Aftermath. They did a freestyle to "DOA" that is pretty amazing, I think the whole thing is like 15 minutes? Somewhere on YouTube.

I love this guy:

 
No yeah. Don't get me wrong I saw the Earl posting too. I have that in the mp3 too.

Earl and Black Hippy. But the Hippy I hated besides Chop That.

Deep rhyming liker.

I am on Devils Night after not drinking for a month right now. And I have to stop gambling because I still want to get paid on April Fools day.

 
and when you've just given up hope, and sold your life to the bottle...

"Rum, Sodomy, and The Lash"

i've been on this for two days now. will probably go though St. Pat's.

**edited for grammar. stupid English major.**

apparently, winning a couple of late games on St. Pat's Eve, is a lot of fun.

and not that it matters just one little bit, but these guys Fing rock. punk? close. and better than what passes for rock these days.

 
Things that I like in a team I pick to win a bracket:

1) Up-tempo > down-tempo. A couple of slow teams have won it recently (or, teams that happened to be slow that year: UConn and Duke), but in a single elimination format, I want to stay away from any Badger-y 59-55 slugfests. Too easy for one of those to swing the wrong way.

2) Shoot the 3 well, but not necessarily rely on it. Amazingly, none of the last 10 champions have relied heavily on the 3 or been in the top 100 in 3PTA/FGA. Duke in '10 was the closest, but again, that was an abnormal Duke team. Some of those teams (Kentucky and the last UConn team) stunk from 3, but most had high %'s from 3 when they did decide to shoot (both Florida teams, both UNC teams, UConn '04, KU).

3) Rebound well offensively. Lots of different profiles for championship teams, but they can all hit the glass and get second chances. Perhaps 2 and 3 have to do with playing in unfamiliar gyms, where trey-reliant teams face a disadvantage due to playing in arenas?

4) Have guards that can hit FT's. Another lesson from '04, that Connecticut team stunk overall from the line. Taliek Brown at PG shot sub 60%. All of the bigs were bad from the line. But Gordon/Brown/Anderson could all stroke from there. Easier to put away games when you have guys who can move the ball up court, take fouls, and then knock down both shots.

5) Have momentum coming into the tourney. Not necessarily an unbeaten streak, or a conference title, because weird losses can happen. But I like to see a team with a positive uptick near the end of the year.

The team that checks every box here, ladies and gentlemen...is your Louisville Cardinals.

On them for 1u at +600 to win the tourney :popcorn:
 
Waiting to get off the boat after a weeks vacation and woke up to an unexpected dime in my account.

Don't remember who posted it, but thanks to whoever said UCLA to win the pac-10 (the 1 seed)

Gotta see the final brackets but I have been leaning that way. Starting to like Kansas to make the final as well
 
I'm on Miami -3 and Ohio St -2 today. My bankroll has taken a beating the past two days though, so might be worth fading me

 
Pens/Bruins over 5 1/2 (-115)

Jets (+110)

Magic +9

Heat -7 1/2 (-105)

Wisconsin -2

I went out last night to watch the fights with my trainer and some friends. How my cote bet hit I still have no idea. I rolled all of my UFC winnings into condit. In 5 rounds he coulda maybe won but Hendricks was a beast with those heavy hands.

Did some Irish car bombs last night and otherwise was mixing Jameson and Guinness. Good times.

 
Yesterday sucked. I'm going to have a nice breakfast out, sip on a breakfast beverage and come back home and see if harness racing looks good. I'm up a lot because of that (my pai gow moment) and I'll post picks if anything looks decent. Will definitely play Northfield tomorrow.

 
This week in Nascar. Bristol Food City 500. Starts at 12:15 central.

Menard -120 o Ambrose

Easy money on Paul again.

3-0 on leans so far.

 
During commercial breaks and random boredom moments, The Song Remains The Same is playing on VH1 classics. Jimmy just finished shredding Dazed and Confused.

At what point do we take a piece of Wisky in live betting? When it gets to +6?

EDIT: it's almost there... +5.5

Guess with the tournament this week I'm back in.
