I set the DVR for the Oregon/Arizona State 3OT thriller, but screwed up how long past the scheduled end time to go, so I missed the conclusion. Based on how earlier Thursday night was, I am a bit leery as to what the weekend has in store. Nonetheless, here’s your lesser footy preview.
Want to wake up early on All Hallows Eve and laugh at two overrated, media fellated managers? NBCSN has Chelski and Liverpool for you at 8:45! The real action kicks off at 11, with good fixtures on NBCSN (4th place Manure against 7th place Palace) and USA (2nd place Arsenal – on goal differential behind top of the table Man City – against 12th place Swansea).
Swans are much like my side, Everton (free falling into 11th place in advnce of an 8:30 Sunday morning date with fuckin’ Sunderland). Two progressive clubs who expected much more, and are in danger of falling out of the Prem’s middle class entirely. It’s depressing as fuck, let me tell you. Roberto Martinez may be running out of ideas. As the squad returns to full health, he really needs it to catch fire against the soft part of the schedule, though that’s usually when the Blues lose focus. FUCK EVERYTHING.
You would think after such a crap slate last weekend, this JV NFL Saturday would be loaded for bear. And you would be wrong.
Ole Miss at Auburn (Noon, ESPN)
Sigh. I can only works with what I gots, people. Johnny Reb and War Eagle really is as good as it gets. Nebraska/Purdue is a national broadcast in the noon window. Let that fucking sink in for a minute.
Clemson at NC State (3:30, ABC/ESPN2)
Once every year or two, my wolven sort will pull a game out of its ass and either beat or scare the shit out of a team it has no business staying within 20 points of. I don’t believe today will be that game, but that’s a combination of (i) the ferver of the converted (as a prior believer that the Tiggers would “pull a Clemson”); (ii) my general pessimistic nature; and (iii) the fucking goddamned year/two years I’m having. Many neutral observers think the signs are there. State does have some raw materials to work with. But I have no fucking idea how they expect to slow down Clemson’s passing attack. The Wolfpack secondary is a sieve, to put it nicely.
Georgia vs. Florida (3:30, CBS)
They don’t like people calling it The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party anymore, but it’s the only reason to take notice of it. Well, that and the coeds, right Mr. Musberger?
Oklahoma State at Texas Tech (3:30, ESPN)
An actual game to watch when the first two make your eyes bleed. I wonder what the Pokes fans’ paddles do to Sterling Mallory Archer’s wee-wee. /no homo
Miami at Duke (7:00, ESPNU)
This is the world we now live in. Da U’s hoops team goes into Durham and wins all the time, even when they have an NIT squad, and the Devils ultimately cut down the nets in the real tourney. And the footy squad goes into Duke’s sad, 3/4 empty stadium…and they have virtually no shot. This was even funnier when I figured it was where Al Golden was gonna be fired.
Notre Dame at Temple (8:00, ABC)
/wanking motion
Stanford at Washington State (10:30, ESPN)
I’m actually quite intrigued by this matchup. Wazzu has been really interesting teevee viewing so far, and they’ve been winning, to boot. Stanford has recovered nicely after the early bedshitting against Northwestern (that gave make it snow so much false hope). The contrast in styles couldn’t be more vast. Fire up them DVRs!
Toffees/Black Cats in 45 minutes!! FEEL the excite!
Klopp does get the Dyson ball vacuum tonguebath, but he’s a damn good coach. And he looks like my hirsute Cuban know-it-all buddy goong through an Elton John phase.
Welp, I’m ready for trick-or-treaters. Mixed a pitcher of zombie cocktails and poured them up in test tube shooters. All I have to do is hand them out at the door and put in a pinch of cherry Pop-Rocks and tell ’em “DRINK UP, KIDDOS!”

Like Bojack said, kids gotta learn to drink somehow.
“I LEARNED HOW BY WATCHING YOU, DAD!!!!!1!!”
True story, Halloween was the first time I ever got drunk and I was like 9. The grown ups had the hard cider going and were being inattentive. I like apple juice (who doesn’t?). So we all went deep before the parents realized. When they did it was too late. I blame them for my alcohol problem.
Me too, lights out.
Also if they are persistent I know that mom is with them……. scary.
I be flippin’ between a 53-41 game and a 49-45 game.
WHAT A COUNTRY!!!

Whoa, the fuck stoned, man.

If you just hit the superfecta in the Breeders Cup for about $600 big ones you feel like you’ve earned it.
Any other gambling degenerates watching the Breeder’s Cup classic right now?
The horsey I’ve heard of won (said teh ESPN ticker)
Here’s a close-up of the OSU helmet (the one they’re wearing today) you mentioned earlier.
nightmare yo
Turned over just in time to see the home-stretch!
whoa dawgs
They shitty
#PrayFoarWBS
State may not/probably will not win, but they’ve let Clemson know for sure they in for a fight today. At this stage of the program’s development, that’s all I can ask. Cause Clemson really is talented as fuck.
MAROON 14-0 END 1ST WOO
What’s the deal with Ioway? Good D? Weak sked? Strong voodoo? What’s going on?
The sked part
A kicker who can hit from 58 yards as time expires.
#Pray4HipposLiver
Tis ok, it’s well-exercised. I also can’t punish it in earnest until my kid gets off work. Getting impatient for that.
Bucknell vs. Lafayette LIVE
And they’re not getting murdered!
Tecmo Bowl Live! in Raleigh.
Penn beat Brown, 48-28. The Quakers are actually 5-2 (3-1) this season. Dare I say, they might be semi-almost-kinda-sorta-maybe-JUST-MAYBE-halfway decent this season….?
I like that it’s 2015, and took over 110 years to reach the pinnacle of Temple football. On Halloween night.
GOWLS
Take a gander at Okie State’s helmets.
Pretty dumb of South Cakalaky not to call time out there. Let 40 seconds run off the clock (they had two left), only 98 seconds left, down 7 ball on own 20 now after touchback on punt).
Jacques with his third TD. Syracuse is reduced to surrendering to the French.
I’m brining the turkey. I wish that was a euphemism for something else.
/Sleeman’s Original Draft and Dalwhinnie over here
My favourite aspect of the new Publix near my house is that I can get fresh turkey breast year ’round now. I’m a purist, just kosher salt and veggie oil rubbed into the skin, and celery halves (with leaves) stuffed inside for moisture. A damned lovely meal that produces great leftovers.
That sandwich the next day?-can’t be matched.
‘Cuse looking kinda fucktardey as well.
Sorry scotchnaut….nothing personal.
Pretty impressed they scored 14.
Watching Johnny Reb and War Eagle on mute, whilst listening to random pre-game music in my rare kid-free house (ie, nobody to complain about my selections).
Fucking A man….lock the doors and masturbate.
Shit no, I can’t fall asleep before the Glorious wolven beating.
dvr muddafucka
I’m not the biggest fan of the Cuse football until the school gets behind the program. There’s no reason whatsoever that they can’t be a power and yet…here we are.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
Northeast programs are doomed because they offer this:

Global warming will fix that little problem.

Nice palate cleanser from that awful, awful Thursday.
Indeed. Footy evenings don’t get much more fucked than that.
Yes, indeed, indeed.

Do you know what my favourite Halloween memory is? Seriously, do you know?-because I don’t think I have one.
Mine will be this year, with footbaw on teevee, Vicuprofen in the bloodstream, and my oldest kid home from work and not at a party. I am making her work the door.
CHUH CHUH
U evuhl geenyus.
Wile E Coyote would be proud.
When I was ten I smashed the neighborhood bully in the face with a jack-o-lantern. He dropped his goody bag and ran home crying. We split up his candy and called him a pussy. Good times.
YOU WIN teh Halloween

Wrong goddamned holiday!!!!!
But somehow works anyway.
Fcuk…I need to work on my BAC.
Mine is fucking my gf while we were both wearing costumes (she being Alice in Wonderland and me the Mad Hatter Bunny) and having the too big hat come down over my face and her telling me to keep going as it was turning her on. This was the hat:
OH AN HE FANCY!
Kidding. Mad Hatter Bunny is an inspired costume … literatureally!
That rugby was fun and made the minor league football I occasionally jumped too look like ass.
Yup. JV football sucks monkey balls.
Yeah, today’s early JV slate is a poor showing for what has been mostly a poor season overall (outside of the Big 12 and Pac 12).
I am seriously reduced to scouting BC and FSU.
No interest otherwise in the early slate.
Agree on all points.
Watching these legendary players go out winners is truly gratifying.
And unlike NFL players they’ll actually remember it in ten years.
Maybe
I am Trent Green, AND SO CAN YOU!!!
Well isn’t this just the gravedigger’s biscuits!
That guy got punched in his biscuits.
Is he allowed to kick that chit like that??? I guess so.
So now is he going for a behind?
Fuck….wrong game.
Thank gob and teh bunny jeebus.
AUS winning the Cup at Twickenham would have been more than I could bear.
Agreed. Fuck dem Aussies to hell and back.
We’ve all seen this, but worth having here.

Da Moose is Loose
I trust everyone had a safe one.
THIS GUY DAN CARTER I CALL HIM JOHN CARTER OF MARS BECAUSE HE’S OUT OF THIS WORLD.
Dan Carter is incredible.
Can’t do that AUS. Fuck with the scrum at your peril.
Carter on the money.
27-17 NZL
Fuck the scrum at your peril.
IF I’ve said it once….
Sorry….scrotum. Fuck with the SCROTUM at your peril.
Carry on.
If it’s tied after regulation, do they go to extra time, or penalty beatings?
Ten minutes ET both ways IIRC.
They play three more wickets, and the first team to googly a Heatherton wins.
I’ll googly the shit out of a heatherton.

Kurtley Beale is just the worst.
THIS GUY DAN CARTER I CALL HIIM ALLSTATE BECAUSE HE PROVIDES INSURANCE.
7 point lead restored.
FUCKIN A CARTER WOO DROPPED GOAL FROM 40 METRES
Or 25 metres, whatevs.
24-17 NZL
SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!
Frick…at least spell it meters for fuck sake!!!!

Sorry, lads.
In full Queen’s BBC voice at the moment.
Hectares or GTFO
SHIT KICKS INFURIATE SILL BIMMONS
When NZ used to play pre-Mandela SA, did they call it “All Blacks vs. No Blacks?”
LMFAO
Toju the Militant Black Guy about the NZL nickname.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6yyOju8-BU
Gimme a pair of Speedos, motherfucker
Absolute fucktardery by NZL leads to easy try by AUS.
This match should be over, instead NZL have clusterfucked themselves right into a corner.
21-17 NZL
Is a corner cluster fuck better or worse than a circle jerk?
I guess like most things, it depends on the participants.
Garbage kick time!
NFL teams can learn a bit from rugby, specifically about releasing in a timely fashion. Teams that signed Trent Richardson in particular can benefit from tutelage in this regard.
