Dr. Pangloss says:

This is the best of all possible worlds. Nobody wants to lose in the first round of the conference tournament… especially against the last place team in the conference… but there are benefits to be had from the situation. Look at the last three games as a wart. (Not hard to do…) sometimes you have to damage a wart all the way down to where it bleeds or your body won’t attack it. Consider it done. We’ve got a week of rest and work without the physical banging of 3 more games in 3 days.

Totally off-topic morning thread question:

I read, and was subsequently fascinated by, this question in Deadspin’s mailbag on Tuesday (language and content a little salty — only words — so consider it NSFWish).

You’re only allowed to use five condiments for the rest of your life, and you have an unlimited fresh supply of them stored in your hand. Each finger can dispense one condiment.

Which five condiments are you choosing, and what condiment goes in what finger?

Also, good morning.

Easy.

1. Cholula hot sauce
2. Ketchup
3. Head Country Spicy BBQ Sauce
4. Buffalo Wild Wings (screw them!!) Spicy Garlic Sauce
5. Grey Poupon country-style brown mustard

Done and done.

agreed more condiments need wooden tops

when your in a fitful condiment withdrawal the wood offers more friction with which to open condiment

Assuming a reasonable supply of salt and pepper available under normal circumstances:

1) HP sauce
2) Big Rick’s Chipotle BBQ Sauce
3) Ring of Fire Hot Sauce
4) Miracle Whip
5) French’s Yellow Mustard

arranged in finger order, 1=thumb and 5=pinky

Impossible.

I could come up with at least seven different barbeque sauces alone that warrant being in the conversation.

This is a problem when you are condiment centric

I am trying to think of all the condiments I really like

as you posted RPT, I could think of at least five of nearlly all kinds of condiments though it would be hard to find that many Katchups methinks.

Let's start with

Thumb – Honey – indespensible for Radio guys during Cold/flu season
Index – Ketchup – the undesputed king of condiments
Middle – Mustard – Gulden’s spicy brown, because F-you, that’s why
Ring – Cholula Hot Sauce – to keep things spicy.
Pinky – Soy Sauce – high-blood pressure be damned.

With the above sauces, you could approximate many staples that would be left behind.

This is completely unreasonable, I want to have a rotation of condiments per finger

(I really like how CMA coachs BB and I think if I can emulate that in more of my life, things would be totally tits)

1. Pinky = Katchup, because when I feel like Dr. Evil, I kinda see red

2. Ring = Yucatan Sunshine Hotsauce, habenro based + carrots….spicy and sweet, like the marriage

3. Middle finger = Gates Spicy BBQ, ‘cus eff you all, I like something from KC that isn’t masterpiece (though it is still good)

4. Pointer = CJs BYFO sauce, when I point at someone, they’ll know

5. Thumb = Mayo; when I make a sandwich it’s all good

Oh, hell

I’m treating this as strictly condiments I put on finished food as opposed to things I use in the preparation of food.

1- Heinz Ketchup
2- French’s Yellow Mustard
3-Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan garlic sauce
4- Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce
5- Smoked sea salt

Has

one of ESPN’s ‘lock’ teams ever not made the tournament?

I'm not sure, but Missouri is definitely in.

Even if the committee de-emphasizes strong finishes, we’d still be in because quite frankly we finished the season by losing to the likely number 1 overall seed and had a slip-up against a bad team. Even after Kansas we’d still get an 8 or 7 seed, we don’t go from that to out in just one bad game anyway.
