Welcome to the JR and Henry live blog for the Final Four.  It’s 4:40 and the television is on.  The players are slowly rolling in.  I just mixed my first cocktail.  JR’s getting his ass whipped Kid Dynamite for the 100th consecutive time in Tyson’s Punch Out.  G Baby, our host, has a cold Smithwick’s.

Why is Ernie Kent on the pregame show?  Probably trying to get that Harvard job.  Lord knows he ain’t even qualified for that. The Razorbacks, and that damn buffoon Broyles, still don’t have a coach, although the crew is full of laughter at those on Hogville posting that Jerry Tarkanian is the next coach of the Razorbacks.

The menu tonight is quite extravagant.  G Baby had some lobsters and crab cakes flown in today from Maine.  Fresh boiled shrimp and lots and lots of booze.

Here are the players:  JR, Henry, G Baby, Gibby06, DY, Hero Harris, and the dames.  Via satellite, the Sheikh and Lo.

Tip off is in 25 minutes.    Track the games with us.  It’s certain to be a ridiculous time.

 4:47: Just watched “One Shining Moment.”  JR wants to know where was Scotty Thurman’s shot in the national title in 1994?  Mad Dog Madsen sighting.  Dude is straight up WHITE.

4:51 – Who puked on the court?

4:53 – Gibby06 (Ohio State); G Baby (Georgetown); DY (Georgetown); JR (Ohio State).  And the correct answer is, Georgetown.  As of this posting, the Razorbacks still don’t have a coach.  Nice work, Frank.

4:54 – Nice shirt Craig O’Neil.

4:55 – Alright, here’s what happens when you put a bunch of lawyers in the room.  Freaking lawyers.  Two of them are huddled in the corner talking jurisdiction in the Paul Eells case.  Barf.

4:57 – DG just plowed through the front door.  Hair in tact.

4:59 – Shaikh has it from an inside source that a deal is in the works to bring Stan Heath back.  Seems more plausible to us than anything else save hiring Porter Moser.

5:01 – Waiting for the annual “Hello Friends” spawns a conversation about the death of Anna Nicole Smith.  Who gives a damn?

 5:05 – Second round of drinks coming out.  That didn’t take long.  Prime viewing spots being gobbled up.  DG brought cigars, I suppose to celebrate his latest haricut, but who knows.  JR will smoke one fo shizzle.  DG laughing at his own jokes.  Does Georgetown have 5 fans at this game?
