Announcer: With the die for the most part cast across the board it looks as if everything is settled as everyone knows where they stand entering the post season. But there is still the formality of the final week of play to contend with. For some a opportunity to try and build momentum, for others a time to try and fine tune for the upcoming battle. So no matter if there is a championship possibly in the future, or if the oncoming light looks to be the train of relegation it's time again for BB2NIGHT!

You know old friend, we have been through a lot. Almost 20 seasons in the slaughterhouse, almost all as 'rivals', we have even broken bread together AKA My Dinner With Deronimo that time I had business in your area, hard to believe that was four years ago!

I have always thought of this game having a almost old school 1980's style pro rasslin feel to it in many ways. It seems like there is almost a predestination to the seasons even before they start. And I knew the moment that you ended up on the other side of this ledger that we would have to face off in a proverbial 'loser leave town' situation. Now you can swerve everything and no show this evening and dump yourself into the 6 hole automatically and give Jason the pleasure of his desire to be done with the grind of this death house and I can work with the Tigers, which to be honest MIGHT be a better stylistic matchup for Moi. But that's not what you want is it old boy? No you want to get the pleasure of putting me into my place. Well I got news for you pal, it ain't gonna be that easy! https://youtu.be/_3Z9wYn5nRA

Ha, agree. I believe there is some underlying rivalry algorithm that pits old rivals against each other. Just replaced my college roommate in this league to play against the team I have literally played against the most (plus history with Flathead, losing to Ice, and Arizona). But we both know it doesn't matter what I do tonight. Tigers have to win to pass me, so it's on them to "pick their opponent." P/D has to be too great even if I fold if we both lose. You can definitely count on a TIE though (probably both sides).

Also, it seems like a decade ago. I think I've eaten inside a restaurant once this last year, that feels like the longest March ever endured. I'm just begging we don't cancel March madness again... Feel like college basketball was the only one severely affected/penalized. And it'll be the most Virginia Tech thing ever to be the first team disqualified from the tournament for covid...

Or maybe ice is trying to avoid injuries?

Very much the case.

Now the question is, do I stand pat or do I throw all the chips to the center of the table and bring in a ringer at the last second?

You have 20 min from now and like 14 players to decide.

Lol, I'll try

Tonight was almost like a rasslin match. Oh my guys tried every dirty heel trick in the book. Put your starting back court on the shelf for the night, but all that donning the crimson mask did was make your guys salty as they got a taste of their own blood, and liked it! got a big in early foul trouble, and who is behind him, a god damn beast of a man. And when it comes time to call off the dogs what is backing them up? someone even better! I mean the game went from being marginally competitive for three periods to a complete squash in the 4th. Really am not that surprised however. But we will show up Saturday, who knows we might even keep it sorta close. But barring half of your roster getting leprosy and the other half getting the clap this thing is done, though to avoid the latter you might want to tell your guys to stay the hell away from the generals cheerleaders.

But in reality it is the very DOOK thing to do. Though it's a croc that FSU gets a triple bye. I know seminole nation is susceptible to have to get a triple by.... But this is not what any of us were thinking. Me thinks it's a conspiracy from K since cook wasnt making it anyway to avoid the infamy of having to actually go to the NIT.

Neither of our teams have that problem. But you buddy boy we got a problem tonight,well your Hokies got a problem, and his name is Walker Kessler....or as I have glossed him, #walkertarheelranger man I would love to see that catch on. I think ole Roy has been sandbagging on this guy all year, letting the other guys get the minutes because hey we got good big men. Let everybody think we just got a "project" guy when in reality we got Dirk Nowitski incarnate. .

Ok maybe I am just being myopic, maybe because it's the first time in 2 seasons the boys got me biscuits (bojangles does 2 sausage biscuits for a buck the next morning when the heels score a hundred). And I have to remind myself the boys were playing a Notre Dame team which is rather shall I say Generals like ! Simple fact is this, my boys ain't sniffy a natty, probably not good enough to get to the 2nd weekend. But we are good enough to win a ACC tournament in a season where the league as a whole is wanting. Ga tech our #4, VPI A #3? GETTHEFUXKOUTTAHERE. Of course I know what this will get my boys, a 5-12 matchup against the NC university system that used to be called "Woman's College" aka UNCG and a nice slab of humble pie topped with some of legendary yum yums mint chocolate chip ice cream.


But let's not get ahead of ourselves, no matter who wins tonight. No matter who wins this shooting match, all that really matters is UVA does not
