Sunday Morning Appetizers

Week Nine is upon us. Tremble ye drunkards (from fear, not DTs).

Another interesting College Football Saturday. Les Miles and LSU fucked up hard against Bama. The Okies thrashed the Horned Frogs. Clemson failed to start Clemsoning.  Razorbacks upset Ole Miss thanks to a 4th and 25 conversion in OT courtesy of a lateral. We’ve certainly had a significant amount of memorable plays this year. Spartans lost to Nebraska. However, I have that sinking feeling despite all this excitement, it will just end with Ohio State-Bama in the final.

Updated broadcast maps as per 506: Week Nine, Broadcast Maps

Probably the most random distribution I can recall.

Carl picks Rams-Vikings.

Carl’s Pick, Rams-Vikings

Carl is back to .500 ball, being 4-4.

Thank Christ I am no longer able to sleep past 7 AM.

“Dance like you’re stamping on a human face forever, love like you’ve been in a serious car crash that minced the front of your brain, stab like no one can arrest you, and live like there’s no such thing as God.”

–Warren Ellis

Because it’s Sunday, and everyone needs something inspirational on Sunday.

That should be on a poster.

Hi everybody! I live on the west coast and I am still awake from last night! Lot’s of wonderful telelephone conversations with my awesome relatives in the U.S. and Canada. No motor vehicles or heavy machinery were operated by me during this time.

A DFOLLNIGHTER! Nice!

You are doing good work, sir. Good work indeed. I ended up spending my night reading the last Discworld novel (damn Dok Zymm for putting it first and foremost in my head) and becoming maudlin and then figuring drinks were bad. On the plus side, I now have lots of alcohol for Sunday Foobaw Madness, so there’s that.

Did Team Secular Big Love hold on against Washington and their shitty flag helmets?

Also, I am still totally convinced that DFOTV could do a great NFL pre-game show with various animated guests like Carl and celebrity friends from subversive TV shows (Charlie Kelly, Mac, the gang from Trailer Park Boys). Everyone would be high and it would be glorious.

Yes, yes it did.

What? No Pac12? I mean don’t get me wrong, now that my school dropped from the rankings I don’t give a shit either, but I think I still feel BoS’s gloating through the interwebs that UCLA stays ranked while USC flounders.

IF Stanford can beat the asshole Irish, then I think/hope/pray the Utah/Stanford winner gets the ND playoff slot, and we can have one decent team to root for.

Right now, the “good guy” is Dabo “Coach Jeebus Camp” Swinney and Clemson. This is Satan’s playoff bracket, as it currently will likely play out:

Clemson, Bama, tOSU, ND

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!

I was thisclose to having the double pleasure of a UCLA win + embarrassing USC loss. Alas, the Trojans finally figured out they can run the dam ball..

WTF happened to the Bears?

Covalent Blonde

Welp… guess who is learning to love basketball?

Yeah, not so good from the Bay this year. Here is where my knickers get bunched: quite loud to nearly certain rumbles of Goff in the combine next year, meaning Cal returns to the dregs AND the chances are more than fair that SF will be itching to pick him up–a QB so consistent at throwing INTs that the only noticeable difference between Goff and Kaep is what celebrity look-alike we use for memes, Swquidward or Gosling.
