2015 ncaa

jay wright is too handsome to fire

daaaaaang

did they srsly just actually double dribble

SG dang that was dope

:-o my phone died

sorry bout the bracket busting, legume :-o

double dribble almost killed me. I almost died.

hah! I was watching it at a bar with my girlfriend and we met a guy who'd bet heavily in favor of ND. he was nice enough that I set aside my side-eye @ the whole fighting irish thing (which in the long run has fuckall to do with whatever the school is, I suppose) and rooted for him to not lose 200 bucks, which he didn't, much to his own surprise!

it did not bust my bracket bc I did not end up filling one out

there's some story about how "fighting irish" comes from the irish catholic students at ND mocking how they were perceived, but i've never cared enough to remember it.

Cannot see wichita st uni w/o hearing "truuuuue dreeeeeeeeams. Of Wichita."

lolll did not know anything about wichita, least of all that their name is the "shockers"

from their coach's hand signal, Wichita st is running some kind of vagina based defense.

Well that's pretty much the story

fair enough, but the story begins with "along time ago, at rocco's pizzeria" or something

where are the games

gonna need some games

Always amazing to me that it takes so little time to eliminate 52 of 68 teams. It's like Pickett's charge at Gettysburg.

man I could go for some Rocco's right now

go Irish, beat my hunger

lol

I'd even eat their shitty salad right now

I love almost any pizza place that offers green olives as a toppings choice

do feel like the shitty iceberg lettuce, onions, tomatoes, olvie Italian salad is a requirement to which rocco's simply must submit

putting olives with pits in a salad is perhaps irresponsible, though

isn't that everywhere in the USA?

tbrr Bruno's is better than Rocco's, but you're right, Rocco's is like the most rah rah Fighting Irish place there is. I can't remember, is that the place that plays the fight song, with a "light show", every 10 minutes or so?

er xp, to the green olives thing

Rocco's is pretty understated in its rah rahness, i think. just pictures of regis on the wall, etc. we went there for late night pizza during high school, and the current owners (former employee) are very nice. I am not a Bruno's fan. I am typically all about Barnaby's, but I don't really consider Barnaby's to be pizza. It is Barnaby's.

watched many ncaa tourney games on that tv

you know I never went to Barnaby's, because of the sign that said "Beef Bar Pizza Kitchen", and I wondered what a beef bar could be, and I called once to ask what the deal was with their beef bar, and the person on the phone was just puzzled, and so I was embarrassed and never went

lmao

GIS of 'beef bar' yields pictures of much finer looking establishments

'beef bar' maybe just means the pizza looks like this:

yeah. tbh a lot of south bend institutions are not very fine looking

FUCK I could go for that pizza though. midwest pizza rules.

I used to see the football team show up at the Bruno's South buffet pretty often and clean it out, on a sports tip

too much crust!

yes but SO MUCH CHEESE. and the sausage too. stuff of dreams. tbrr I have eaten a bruno's that size all by myself on at least one occasion. maybe over two days, though. I don't get to the big sb very often anymore but bruno's is basically my main goal when I am there.

I am in a city in the south of france right now that has a pizza place that reminds me of Bruno's, and I am going to go there in a couple of nights and eat way too much of it.

It's interesting that Wichita State and Gonzaga are the only small schools remaining. Usually you have some left-field teams but this year the upsets were by traditional powers like UCLA and Michigan State. Interesting year.

mannnn, chicago/midwestern pizza is so bizarre to me as a new york/new jersey native and boston resident - its like pizza cake

i once told this to my supervisor at work, who is from chi, and he got super pissed at the term "pizza cake," like all caps ranting

from wikipedia, anyway

Xavier is smaller and Wichita St. is larger than I expected. But MSU is insane. That is too many students.

wichita st big winner in acceptance rates, though:

Wichita State University: 96%
University of West Virginia: 85.3%
University of Utah: 81.7%
University of Oklahoma: 80.4%

University of North Carolina: 29%
University of Notre Dame: 21.2%
University of California Los Angeles: 18.2%
Duke University: 10.8%

slothroprhymes, you would like rocco's and I feel that you'd appreciate Barnaby's for what it is.

which is a beef bar pizza kitchen

gregg marshall just said his team is "much baligned"

when you malign a baller

if these places are in chicago proper i might have a chance to check 'em out in the near future for possible work travel reasons

"beef bar pizza kitchen" as a single concept is admittedly strange but all four of those things are pretty enticing in and of themselves
