It's The Big 10's Fault...

11:10a – Guitar Hero is started and Mews’ dreams come true as he earns the right to do an ecore of “Sweet Child O’ Mine.”

11:30a – Andy gets his first crack at Guitar Hero and is rocking the house. At the same time, the Tennessee/Virginia game gets underway.

11:45a – LD returns from Meghan’s and asks Andy, “So does Guitar Hero feel natural?” “Hell no,” Andy responds. “Let’s just say Mews is getting’ the double d’s in the groupies and I’m getting’ double deez nuts!”

12:06p – “The Burger King at Southport and Irving Park was banned by me because they kept screwing up my order. They’re on a working probation right now.” – Mews

12:20p - Clark Kellogg and Seth Davis are verbally duking it out and Special K hands Seth his ass by introducing a new word: “Maestrating.” Take that, Seth, you pansy.

1:08p – Tim: “Have you seen they knocked down the cheap motel they knocked down on Irving Park, next to the Domino’s?”

1:09p – An anonymous contributor says, “My girlfriend Meghan and I talked about having a fetish night where I kidnap her and take her there.”

1:40p – LD is packing up to leave. When asked where he is going, he tells us he is going to dance lessons with Meghan. “There’s all sorts of dancing going these 4 TV’s. What more dancing do you need?”

1:50p – Rafferty is announcing the Florida/Purdue game. He’s already in fine form and knows he has to leave it all on the court after Gus Johnson’s performance yesterday. In 5 minutes we’ve heard, “Puppies,” “Nickel and dimer,” “The big fella,” and “A little blow by!”

2:45p – “What I couldn’t believe was last year, Pittsnoggle’s mom wearing a t-shirt with nothing underneath, and she clearly weighed 400 pounds. I’m glad I didn’t have hi-def for that. That was West Virginia chic at its finest.”

3:00p – Godfrey leaves and heads back to Arizona. “Tell Anne we said hi and we hope to see her next year.” “I will,” Godfrey tells us, “but I have a feeling that she… really… doesn’t miss this.”

3:13p – Brendan: “I wonder how LD’s dancing is going.”

3:38p – With Wisconsin being in the Big 10, not to mention its hippie credentials, it faces elimination and Mews quips, “A badger ain’t nothin’ but a big rat.”

4:13p – At the start of the Kansas/Kentucky game the camera shows our announcers, Jim Nantz and Billy Packer. Billy looks like the following:

-Like he’s been dropped kick by a golf spike

-Like a relief globe of Mars

-Like he fell in some mude

-Like he could be used to aerate a golf green

5:43p – After a prolonged absence, Mews considers giving McNerney the Most Disappointing award.

5:45p – Logan: “Ah, Nick Fazekas, that greek.” Brendan: “Thanks for starting civilization, ya fucks.”

6:09p – Who would you rather listen to? Billy Packer or Dick Vitale?

6:12p – 2007, the year of the suck. There is such low energy permeating practically all games this year. We believe it is all the fault of the Big 10. It has infected every participant and fan this year. Brendan: “I should have flown home yesterday.”

6:33p – The Brothers McNerney roll out, as does Sean. The games are winding down and all that’s left is for USC to kill the clock, not to mention Kevin Durant’s college career. Guitar Hero will commence and we say goodbye to Madness on Ashland.
