So now that DePaul is done butchering the game of basketball, we bring you another open thread for tonight’s main events: Florida and Syracuse from the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, and of course, the funniest show on television at the moment — Jersey Shore. We’ll get to Jersey Shore in a minute, but first, the game of the night.
Both UF and Syracuse come into the game undefeated. We all already know how good Syracuse has been this season, thanks to Fetch. Since that exhibition loss to LeMoyne (LEMOYNE!), Syracuse has been ballin’ out, and junior transfer Wesley Johnson has been superb for the Orange, averaging 17 points a game. The bigger surprise this season though has to be the Gators. They lost their best player from last season, Nick Calathes, to Greece and are coming off of back-to-back NIT trips. And despite starting the season unranked, a convincing win over Florida State and a win against then-second ranked Michigan State has vaulted the Gators just outside of the top 10.
I don’t feel like getting too much into Florida, because I’m sure I’ll post more about them throughout the season (since I do attend the school), but one name you should look out for is freshman guard Kenny Boynton, even though Florida’s best weapon is, arguably, PF Alex Tyus. Anyways, it should be a good game — at least that’s what I’m hoping for.
Now, onto Jersey Shore. It’s the funniest show on television right now… after just premiering last week. What makes it so funny? Where to start: The Situation. The “guidettes.” The awful fake tans. Then there’s this:
FALCON PUNCH!
Bottom line, the show is television gold, and it airs tonight at 10 … real time, not that fake central time nonsense. /glares at Fetch and SC.
So there you have it. Enjoy our late-game open thread. You know the rules, everything’s open to discussion, just don’t mess with SC’s Starting Lineup figurines, or else he’ll be pissed.
Now let’s enjoy some quality entertainment, and of course, FIST PUMP LIKE A CHAMP!

This comment section is gonna be dead because everybody will be hypnotized by that gif of Snickas getting popped in the face.
Apparently my name would be Juice Box if I lived in Jersey.
/still not going to watch the show
//or the Fiesta Bowl
///full circle’d
Fetch got the same nickname.
/you guys are destined to be together.
//watch the show
///and the fiesta bowl
standard “you shouldn’t hit a girl” bs aside…
that .gif is fucking awesome.
Can I actually make comments now?
/assholes
That’s a bannin’
/empty threat
I’m emailing Paolo to see if he’ll do a guest post
oh God, no. If you let him do that, he’ll start lingering around our comments section.
He’s already e-mailed me about commenting here…
Somehow, I am like his chaperone or something.
He has? Classic. Did you respond to it?
let him!
Let him you bojack ninny hillbilly.

that “LaMichael is Spanish for The Michael” sign is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. I have a terrible sense of humor.
Haha, many people have gone nuts over that shit. The most impressive thing about it was I was able to snag it while co-hosting a drunken live blog. It is pretty funny.
I love the Jesus Cup thing too. I’m pretty religious so I should be offended, but I love it.
did you know that LeGarrette is French for “The Garrette”
Thanks Fetch. My only religion is blasphemy.
That was a fun live blog. Unfortunately it was the one Thursday I decided not to drink.
Hello!
I too am “Juicebox”
Keep hitting the fist pump button.
Works on soooooo many levels.
Feel like I could just watch this on loop and get the whole Jersey Shore thing that way.
Ok, I took step one and found MTV.
Watched about 4 minutes. This is just filthy trash. I’m sure there’s some “holy shit” moments but these people make
genocidenatural selection seem so right/going STRAIGHT to hell
Quit being an uppity bitch. That shit’s funny, and you know it.
In other news, Florida is having issues with the 2-3 zone. They’re only successful when shooting over it. Can’t penetrate at all.
In other news, Florida football is not only losing Charlie Strong, but also one of our best offensive coaches: Billy Gonzales, to LSU.
Oh, and Chandler Parsons is one shot away from being on fire.
/NBA Jam’d
Speaking of not being able to penetrate…
I have no punch line, just wanted to use that segue
I left it open for anyone. Actually figured you would be the guy.
left it open for anyone eh? Just like JPQs daughter
hi-yo!
This thing on?
Shots, shots, shots, sha-sha-sha, shots, shots, shots!
Related, what’s everybody drinking.
/got some Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale, and Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
Winter Lager.
coffee.
/because I have to write a paper
//and it’s -6 right now
Nothing, I ran out of beer and didn’t pay much attention to it until now. I’m going to eat some cookies to compensate a little.
I have H1N1. Currently sucking down some theraflu, apple flavor.
/be asleep by 10 p.m. central at the latest
you sleep with Hef?
/he has swine flu, too
Bad form sir, bad form.
/hangs head in shame
Wow. I thought I’d get some sort of pig fucking Iowa jokes.
You guys never cease to amaze me.
You should probably stop fucking the hogs before they get rendered.
Bad preppy. I take back my fiver.
/AC Slater’d
Dammit, Fetch and SC, we really need to check on the pending comments thing more often. Just approved a couple of comments CursedCleveland left that were sitting there.
T-minus 5 minutes till new Jersey Shore!
/Fist pump like a champ
I’m gonna watch it. Need a confidence booster.
/and probably a booster shot for the flu
//starting to get a little drowsy
You might need a penicillin shot after watching the show, too.
I’m allergic to penicillin. You trying to off me or something?
Maybe.
/damn, you thwarted my plan.
lefty, that celebration ale from sierra is absolute dogshit.
meh, it’s alright. I’m just sad that I can’t get Sweetwater Festive up here.
God I’m so excited
write your paper
/calculus exam tomorrow
//don’t go back to school after you finish, it sucks
It’s not due tomorrow so I’m alright.
I should have added “thanks Dad”
too late now
I’m fist pumpin’ like a maniac.
They should have had some hot girls on this show
Sammi probably looks best. And take away the highlights and diseases, and JWoww isn’t awful.
Sammi’s not bad
JWoww is awful dude. Awful.
JWoww >> Snooki and w/e that other chick’s name is.
/comparatively
One word.
THICK. All of ’em.
/this coming from a guy who likes a little thickness
//BUT NOT THAT MUCH
From Miami, I appreciate thickness. The good kinda thick, though.
Also, I hate these damn accents on this show.
this Angelina girl isn’t horrible. Nice rack anyways.
yeah, but she’s a cockblock.
not anymore playa
nah that would ruin some of the comedic element.
Definitely didn’t have Schnickas in the office pool for first chick to kiss another chick. Fuck.
My bet was actually on all of them. At the same time. With each other. I guess I lose.
Go read the Wikipedia entry on “guido,” specifically the third paragraph. You’re welcome.
GUIDO BEACH!
Haha. So awesome.
Go Terriers.
Kidding. Maybe.
LINK!
Nice to see the BC guys stopping by. BEANPOT!!!!
Florida/SU back on.
Who is the white guy on Florida that just attempted a windmill dunk.
Missed it. But either Chandler Parsons or Lieutenant Dan Werner.
Seems like Florida just can’t get the run they need to even this up. Syracuse is in trouble if they let them keep hanging around though.
Hard to pay attention to the game with this show on.
I turned it off. Was expecting more shock value. Seems to me like they blew their load in the first show.
I’m sure there’s more to come. Can’t wait till Snooki gets clocked.
/I do not condone violence against women.
HUGE 3 from Walker. Gators only down 4 now. Gators are committing unnecessary fouls though.
Guess who is doing a guest post. I am so excited.
/fist pumpin’ like a maniac
I’m so excited.
/I’m so scared.
//Saved by the Bell’d
Some guido juicer?
Ronnie??
/fist pump like a champ
I should get the situation to
That would be the most viewed blog post in the history of the internets
Oh God, yes. Please make this happen. Please.
Fuck yeah. Too bad he doesn’t know what the fuck a computer is, much less how to use one to write a blog post.
The cockblock is leaving. Will they bring in a new roommate?
/the plot thickens
Maybe, maybe not, but it’s ’bout to be sexy time. It’s gonna be a 24/7 pound out fest.
the drunk “I just saw your penis” is the best line ever
That laugh by the situation was hilarious. And slightly creepy
I’ve already co-opted it, and I’m gonna use it everywhere for everything.
Syracuse just keeps Florida to coming within 4 points then keeps pulling away. Hmmmm…. let’s see, how can I pull this all together?
Like how the Situation said he was going to pull Sammi in and just flick her away when she got close?
/did I do that right?
In basketball news: Florida needs to get its shit together. Cuse is letting them hang around for too long.
Kenny Boynton is kinda* good.
*understatement
Snooki makes me simultaneously gag and vomit. She makes me gavomit.
/Scrubs reference for Fetch and TallGuy
I am beyond speechless right now
Why? It’s still a 6 point game.
/probably missing the point
I’m not sure if fetch is talking about the show, or the game.
Gotta be the show. Unless UF gets some stops, they have no shot at winning.
Been a pretty scripted game so far. Get within 4, Cuse pulls away to about 9 but never get to double digits.
Show, of course
Dude my power went out for a few. Just before the hot tub thing. Somebody recap for me please.
Snooki made out with her friend. Then with The Situation.
Syracuse can’t put Florida away. And from what I gather from the comments, neither can these guidos with any of their housemates.
Seriously, who puts charcoal in a gas grill?
/only in Jersey…
The punch!
Syracuse just put a dagger in Florida.
Dagger > punch
Nothing is greater than that punch.
Hot damn, next week’s show should be pure gold. Pure. Gold.
/dammit, UF is going to lose.
//I didn’t expect a win.
There’s a good chance the Cuse are playing for a #1 seed in March. They are definitely no worse than a 3 seed.
That Big East schedule is brutal though.
By basic transitive property:
LeMoyne > Syracuse > Florida
Right?
I forgot about that…. how the fuck did they lose that game? Their defense is on point this season.
A team like Duke that loves to just jack up threes could beat them too. If they run into a hot shooting team that just fires over the zone, it’s always trouble for the Orange.
If I remember correctly, Cuse decided to play man against LeMoyne, instead of their typical zone.
