Wednesday Night Sports Booze Miscellanea Thread
So it's another snowbound night in Green Bay.
Original Six CHI-DET matchup on NBCSN right now (this is Mike Tirico's hockey announcing debut--curious to see how he does).
UNC-DUKE on the worldwide leader a little later. - Who you got?
Paper hotel cup filled with some Terrapin Hopsecutionner (ATL) - What you got?
Wife and kids better have that driveway completely shoveled before I get home.

please send merlin to us. we will make him into a fine bird dog. you probably won't get him back, but don't get hung up on the details...
February 20th, 2019 at 9:01 PM ^
Too cute!

replacing MurderWolv??!

Tillman with 19/10 with the extra load. Big dropoff after him, but Teske still has his work cut out for him Sunday.
February 20th, 2019 at 10:20 PM ^
He’s not better than Maye or Happ or Wesson or numerous other bigs he’s had to guard so far. Shit, I’m more worried about 2 out of the other 3 big men Teske has to guard in the last 5 games
February 20th, 2019 at 8:47 PM ^
I haven't seen a team this ill-prepared for the 2-3 zone from Syracuse since MSU in March.

Bells Official - Hazy IPA

Thankfully Vitale is not calling this game.
The Maize Rage needs a crash course in being a good student section. They need to learn from the Duke crowd. Student section needs to be larger and far rowdier.
February 20th, 2019 at 9:19 PM ^
The current Duke student section needs a crash course from their Duke parents. The late 80’s, early 90’s crowds were far more creative and rowdy.
Example: Throwing Twinkies on the court at GT’s slightly overweight Dennis Scott.

February 20th, 2019 at 9:07 PM ^
Wow. Horrible horrible first possession
February 20th, 2019 at 9:09 PM ^
Bacardi and diets, followed by Tito’s and bubly raspberry...not bad. Just looking for a good UNC v Duke game
February 20th, 2019 at 9:18 PM ^
Go HEELS!!! F those Duke Bitches!!
February 20th, 2019 at 9:20 PM ^
If they don't, send them to Siberia with a sentence of 25 years at hard labor.
February 20th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
If Zion tore his knee on that play, that will be the biggest freak (non gruesome) injury I've seen to a big time player. His shoe just completely exploded
February 20th, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
Zion goes down. UNC just got a gift from the sporting gods.
February 20th, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
Cameron Indoor is full of bricks tonight...good God guys drive the ball more
February 20th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^

Carolina and Duke is basically a street ball game. Run down the court as fast as you can and shoot a three. They rarely run plays in the half court. It's either a fast break or someone does iso.
February 20th, 2019 at 9:53 PM ^
February 20th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
Watching Duke get blown out is awesome.
Watching UNC doing the blowing out sucks.
February 20th, 2019 at 9:54 PM ^
February 20th, 2019 at 10:09 PM ^
Of course. Don't you?
February 20th, 2019 at 9:45 PM ^
I am watching North Carolina kill Duke here (granted, Zion is not playing), and I am thinking North Carolina would kill us. Then I remembered that we already played them, and we killed them. That is a good memory.
February 20th, 2019 at 9:46 PM ^
Carolina struggles in half court games where you have to play organized basketball
February 20th, 2019 at 10:43 PM ^
Yeah that’s the problem with teams like duke and unc. They are badly coached and not very good.
Youre fucking batshit.
February 20th, 2019 at 11:44 PM ^
I mean do you have a counterpoint? Almost all of the losses between UNC and Duke are to teams with excellent coaches who run a system designed to overwhelm more talented teams. Duke lost to Gonzaga and Syracuse, both experienced teams with less talented players that get buy on scheme and discipline. UNC lost to Michigan in a game where UNC's offense was absolutely shut down because they couldn't run out. Obviously they're legendary coaches, but don't look me in the eye and say that Williams or Coach K would be nearly as successful if they had to switch rosters with Beilein. Since Beilein came to Michigan, he and Coach K have the same amount of Final Fours. That's not a coincidence
February 20th, 2019 at 9:45 PM ^
I feel like Duke is basically staying in the game better without Zion because they are playing a team like NC. If this was a defensive and half court game like Virginia or Syracuse, Duke would be struggling worse. Their stars are better in the transition game and Carolina cant hit enough outside shots to open it up.
February 20th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
Drinking some Kostritzer while I wade through Duke-UNC tweets.
If I am Nike's marketing guy in the southern US, I am too invested in some furious e-mail exchanges at the moment due to the Zion Williamson injury.
February 20th, 2019 at 9:50 PM ^
Red Wings mounting a comeback against the despised Black Hawks. They cut the lead to 4-3 mid-way through the 3rd. Dylan Larkin is having a monster game with 2 goals and an assist.
February 20th, 2019 at 10:08 PM ^
Wings just tied it 4-4 with 1:26 left after starting the 3rd down 4-1. LGRW!
February 20th, 2019 at 9:56 PM ^
I hope Zion pulls a Bosa and doesn't return this season even if he can. Why risk it?
February 20th, 2019 at 10:02 PM ^
Never considered that. With so little time left in the season, I can definitely see him doing that. He's gone either way, so why risk going #1 overall?
February 20th, 2019 at 10:08 PM ^
He is making so many people so much money right now. I doubt he even has an insurance policy. Scottie Pippen did an interview a few weeks ago and said he should stop and that was when he was 100% healthy.
February 21st, 2019 at 7:57 AM ^
Let's not forget that Coach K is making money right now in some commercial. Duke is also probably getting some cash for the ESPN series they're doing on them. The hypocrisy stink to high *no religious talk*
February 20th, 2019 at 10:00 PM ^
ICYMI - Zion is out for the game.
February 20th, 2019 at 10:05 PM ^
Seemed like he was holding his hamstring
February 20th, 2019 at 10:09 PM ^
GOAL!!!!
AA with his second of the night. Larkin has two. Wings battle back from 4-1 down to tie!
One minute left in regulation.
February 20th, 2019 at 10:12 PM ^
Zion hurt = Curse of the Knicks
February 20th, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
What brand of shoe was Williamson wearing? Their stock is dropping tomorrow.
EDIT: Nike; the response has been immediate.
February 20th, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
I hate Patrick Kane, and I hate the Butthawks.
February 20th, 2019 at 10:43 PM ^
Correct. I also hate how poorly the Detroit defense marks the proper man, gets caught puck watching etc.
February 20th, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
People paid over $2000 a ticket for this, lol
February 20th, 2019 at 10:25 PM ^
I’m with ya, watching at home is overall better
February 20th, 2019 at 10:38 PM ^
The floor seats were going for $6800 this morning.
February 20th, 2019 at 10:21 PM ^
Macallan 12, neat. No sports tonight. Chicago trifecta on NBC.
February 20th, 2019 at 10:47 PM ^
I prefer Oban or Dalmore but I do like Macallan. Dalmore has a 25 year I really want but I can’t fathom paying $1200 for a bottle
