Yes, how about read the comments where I actually explained it in excruciating detail two comments ago

Can anyone explain what in the fuck this means? The title seems to be incomprehensible without context

Not to mention, all the games were played in one place, meaning that the advantage of being a good seed and often getting to play closer to home were minimized. Same with bringing big crowds. I can't remember if there were fans but I'd image fan base was minimized.

Bingo - driving back from Tennessee to Cleveland after the 2017 was horrific. Special thanks to Cincinnati for having road work going on all along every freeway!

Yup. We live in Ohio along the path of totality, but are considering heading to Texas since we're about 80% likely to have a cloudy day.

Your thoughts might be closer to actual history than anything I've read. Now I have starting point. ;-)
Hate it when things like this gnaw at me ....

I'm going to guess that it is a literal reference from ye olde years ago. Suspect that square racquet lawn tennis or jousting stick iron boys competitions paired up into matches by pulling numbered seeds out of an opaque cloth bag. At some point, some bespectacled enthusiast might have suggested that competitors with more success than others deserved a higher ranking on a matching tree and "seeds" were carried over as the non-clementure.
*citation required...I completely guessed this

They are starting to change the "not get paid" thing. Have you heard of the new Name Image Likeness (NIL) policies?

Hmm, so Reddit hasn't had any real growth since mid 2020. And with all the bots they might have even shrunken in terms of real-content.

Word to the wise - don't plan on returning home the day of the eclipse. Get a place to stay the day before AND the day of the eclipse, and drive home the day after when the roads have cleared.
I saw the 2017 eclipse just east of Hopkinsville, KY. Afterwards the parkways were a parking lot, it took us three hours to go 30 miles to US 431. Cellular data was completely jammed so no luck using navigation apps - if you had pre-downloaded area maps, GPS might have worked, since GPS itself is passive. Gas stations at the parkway exits quickly ran out of gas - we finally found gas about ten miles north of Central City. The Ohio River bridges at Evansville and Louisville were backed up for hours; we slipped across the lesser-known bridge at Rockport on US 231 where there was no back-up.
I live and work in the Indianapolis area, and I will be advocating for the office to close at 2:00 pm that day to allow the staff to get home before the roads are clogged - the eclipse ends right around 3:15, so the afternoon commute will be virtually impossible.

Ahhh it's an American basketball thing. Thanks for the detail. This was very interesting.
