I trust that everyone enjoyed their NFL heroin and their food comas, yes? And now tis time to recover, with our leftovers, shame, and sweet JV action. WOO!!!
Miami at Pitt (Noon, ESPN2)
This game could have meant something, had only the Castrated Turkeys not lived up to their name in overtime last weekend. SIGH. Still, gotta watch somethin’ – and laughing at Da U is always kinda fun.
Navy at Houston (Noon, ABC)
Rarely will you get to see a game between two 1-A teams with a combined record of 19-2 that absolutely positively nobody believes to be any good. That alone piques my interest.
Missouri at Arkansas (2:30, CBS)
Pig Sooey stubbed its toe last week, and needs a win for a decent bowl bid. Mizzou, which has been playing out the string since the calendar flipped to October, needs a road win to get a bowl bid of any varietal.
Washington State at Washington (3:30, Fox)
For a change, it’s the COUGARS who are the good team looking to avoid the road upset in the Apple Cup. I like rivalry games with fun nicknames like that. The Huskies, like Mizzou, are playing for bowl eligibility, and haven’t at least as obviously packed things in. But Leach’s charges have quietly become one of the more watchable teams in the country, from my late night DVR adventures.
Iowa at Nebraska (3:30, ABC)
The Cornhuskers will try to get a referee-aided home upset, like they did against Sparty. Iowa is sort of the opposite of Wazzu, I can’t watch them play more than 90 seconds or so before I change the channel. Again, Nebraska wins or stays home for the Festivus season.
Baylor at TCU (7:30, ESPN)
This game looked like it would be one for the ages, then it looked to be totally inconsequential, then after last week it looks like it might be fun again. BayBay has a shot at the playoffs with a convincing win, provided that Boomer Sooner loses tomorrow. They are down to their 3rd QB, but it seems that any old hobo can step right in and put up video game numbers there. MUST BE FUCKING NICE. Bloodeyes damned near pulled off the unlikeliest comeback of the season in Norman, and after BayBay ruined their season in Waco last year, I’m sure they will be up to repay the favor.
Major Iowa derp.
YUUUUUUUUUGE
My leftovers > The Leftovers
COME AT ME HIPPO
Sic him Hippo!!!!
Defend Carrie Coon’s honor.
Or vagina….whatever.
TEH HELL YOU SAY!!!!!
Carrie Coon FOREVS <3
There it is.
Malachi-this is not your game.
You leave that little big feller alone. We’ll take him if you’ns don’t want him.
You can keep Cooney.
He’s pressing too hard. And no-you can’t have him. I think he committed in Grade 10.
Dude’s got toolz.
I could really use a cup of coffee.
[pees into a cup]
Sorry dude, this is the best I could do. Don’t feel obligated.
Reminds of the Air Force. And college.
Here ya go.

Sooooo…I’m tryna decide if I want to drive to Raleigh (slightly less than an hour away) for the Winthrop @ NCSU game…or just say fuck it, start drinking, and watch that crap on ESPN3.
I’m leaning toward the drinking and the ESPN3, I gotta be honest.
Why drink outside your home when you could drink inside your home?
LOL….well the drinkin’ is either/or. I drive to game in person with no drinkin’. OR I stay home, start drinkin’ and watch game on ESPN3.
Fine, why not-drink outside when you could drink inside? That makes this decision even easier!
LMFAO
One word.
Winthrop.
Yep…that’s why I’m leaning toward the drinking and ESPN3.
Plus, they might beat us. And I want to be drunk for that.
The Fightin’ Leeches are trying their damnedest to lose this game as quickly as possible.
Iowa DERP
Got bailed out. Wow.
HAIL BLECGH, COLLEGE-AGE SON OF BLEERGH
Hey…hockey has broken out in Atlantis.
Must be December.
Bilas takes the NCAA to task on a regular basis. I like him.
Iowa 44 got FUCKED up.
I told my mom “That dude got concussed as fuck, and looks like he’s gonna puke.”
Thankfully, he did not puke on camera.
There’s your boy, within heself.
He DOES have the talent.
I LIKE MILL STREET ORIGINAL LAGER! Why? BECAUSE IT’S GOT “ORIGINAL” RIGHT THERE ON THE LABEL.
/I could be a smarter consumer but it sounds like work
By the way, poutine is every bit as amazing as I had been told it was.
Is there a dish that you could compare it to that you like?
I mean, it’s fries with gravy and cheese. How could it not be fantastic?
washington state whatever girl dot gif
Give it time.
Jeez Arkansas…at this rate you’re never going to score 50 points in this game. Come on now…
http://i.imgur.com/ze9R7nJ.jpg
Those burgers look good.
Ya know…if they didn’t have dog feetz in them.
Dog feetz give them that extra little bit of street flavor.
I thought they were doughnuts…
Tommy Armstrong, Jr….kinda sucks.
As soon as he learns that he’s…..
Nicely played.
Jesus Christ, that Progressive commercial genuinely made me shout in shock and fear. That was horrifying.
Uh, Rangers defense? Anyone?
Anyone? Anyone? That Hawley/Smoot defensemen pairing needs to go back to the AHL for sure.
Sorry eh, it hasn’t gotten cold enough here yet to think too much aboot hockey.
They need to wait until December to start that stuff.
So Creed is what Rocky V should have been. And boo, Ice Celtics power play goal.
Is there any dumber feeling than taking off a sweatshirt, turning around…. and promptly losing it? What the fuck happened to me?
Seizure?
Wazzou at UDub…aka, what if they gave a football game and nobody came.
Nebraska Cheerleaders apparently have a package deal on teeth whiteners. Yikes.
No one wants to watch Iowa, but, we can support Fek’s alma mater with… how do you say (type?) “passive interest” in Klingon?
It’s pretty cool two of the eight people with Internet access in Iowa are here.
Whoa whoa whoa… there are eight whole people in Iowa?
“People” IS a generous term.
Malachi Richardson is going to be a star as soon as he figures out that A. this isn’t high school B. he’s not the star on this team.
Wait…whuh?
With respect to A, he plays 1 on 5 or he barrels to the basket and throws up a prayer. B-wise, he’s not the star of this team and needs to play within himself, wait for his spots and he’ll be the star late this year or next year at the latest.
So it’s a space-time continuum riddle, whereby he gotzta pay he dues now, and be da stah laterz. Solid.
FWIW…for the past couple yrs we called that a Cat on 3,4 or 5.
This year, not so much.
GO HAWK GUYS!

Woo Ice Giants power play goal!
Dajaun Coleman, who is not the son of Derrick, who could have been one of the greatest power forwards of all time but was a ridiculous head case*, is 6’10”, 270 lbs, has two fouls, both on reach-ins.**
*Jimmy B’s autobiography has a side note about Derrick refusing to play a game because he didn’t like the team’s new uni’s
**I tried to craft a sentence with as many commas as possible
Is this like Cooney’s 7th year at ‘Cuse or what?????
For me it just seems like 7. 7 long, long years.
So apparently they invested in the 200w lightbulbs in Atlantis, huh?
PiggyDOWN, lead insurmountable.
It’s a bad year for the Columbia’s, fo’ sho’.
“Navy doesn’t care that the game is over, they keep pressing to the last tick of the clock. You have to love that.”
::Insert crack about how this is the same mindset the military uses with unwinnable wars::
This Pig Sooey/Mizzou game is kinda shitty.
Yeah. It’s doing a terrible job of distracting me from my food/booze hangover.
#WPS
Work finished. Beer cracked. Cuse game started. Is this heaven or Iowa?
U win U get Atlantis!! 4 realz!!!
So, let’s think up a list of stuff Boeheim can do during his 9 game suspension. I’ll start things off…
Finally get caught up on all that internet porn.
Mack Brown always sounds like he’s trying to talk with a penis in his mouth.
Christamighty!!!! Can’t they at least wait ’til goddamned December before they start showing those fucking Xmas cartoonies and shit. Jeebus.
Just got back from Bed Bath and Beyond (didn’t know if we’d have time!) and catching the end of Navy/HOU. How is Navy 15? Are they still living on the triple option?
This will be their second loss of the season, the first being a three-point loss to Notre Dame. The winner of this game will win the AAC West, which for some reason, Navy is in.
And, yes, they still run the triple option.
You can take Paul Johnson out of Annapolis, but…you can’t…
Hell, I thought that was gonna be funny.
Short answers are…AAC schedule, and yes.
Arky catches a break there I think.
Is that reviewable?
I think if Mark Few dragged Gonzaga over to the East Coast and played a meaningful sked he’d have a national championship under his belt. Come at me.
/be gentle, I’m Canadian
I could see the Zags doing more damage in March with a more battle tested club, yes.
but he saw what happened when his predecessor tried it…
Yeah, there is that.
Navy doesn’t strike me as a footy side likely to overcome a 3 TD deficit in the 4th quarter.
So, is this going to serve as the Friday footy open thread? Or should we launch a separate one? WHADDYA SAY?
This usually is how the open footy threads be for college Saturdays. Oh, this shall be OPEN!!
THIS THREAD HAS BEEN DECLARED OPEN!
http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t_original/19e044yem88ftgif.gif
That’s making me feel all seizure-y.
Gonzaga’s uniforms look like a giant tramp stamp.
And Jay, you can never go wrong fouling UCONN shooters
As a wolf, I was pulling for UConn, but not Purvis because fuck that guy.
I’m at best a casual fan. Not even sure who Purvis is.
A win would have been nice but the #18 team losing by 3 to the #10 team is probably supposed to happen. Even if it was at a neutral site other than Wichita.
He’s the guy whose Mom wanted him to play more in Raleigh, thus he’s now in Storrs. Basically.
He started for State, but she wanted him to be the PG (over Cat Barber), not the SG. Which was kinda cray-cray.
Is his Mom a co-worker of Dez Bryant’s? Because that would explain why he wanted to move.
I think she might be kin to the Wilkins clan.
Another very obscure NCSU transfer reference, fwiw. LOL
My wife just turned on ‘General Hospital’ only to learn it’s been replaced by college football. Suffice it to say ABC is getting a strongly worded and probably extremely vulgar letter at some point soon.
Somebody needs to head on over to the Hallmark Channel/
How did marriages survive when households had only one teevee box?
Lookit the UConn comeback! Impressive, or is Gonzaga just overrated monkeyshit yet again?
Believe it or not we’re watching the Hallmark Channel right now. Tiffani-Amber Thiessen’s gonna save Christmas ya’ll!
I flipped over to UCONN, saw that they had cut it to 2 and then promptly fouled a guy so I figure they’re doing better without me watching. Besides there’s 2:20 left in the game so I’ve got at least 40 minutes before it ends.
College basketball time-outs are the worst.
No thumping bass “music” during college timeouts, at least.
One last prayer for UConn…
I’ll take a Big East/former Big East team over a west coast team 8 days a week.
Gonzaga can eat ALL the ass.
Aaron Rodgers, ordering Gonzaga fleece off Amazon as we speak…
They’ve got to be piping in crowd noise for those Atlantic games, don’t they?
either that or every player brought his own Drunk Uncle Roy
JV footed balls and hoops all day, Pens-Ice Buckeyes at 19:00, WVU-Whales’ Vagina State at 22:30…

Also for the “don’t be all jelly” column…I finally broke down and did some food preparation. Big batch of my patented apple/cucumber/zucchini/kale/lime juice.
I tried to go 100% juicer, though I don;t have the discipline. Good way to get vegetables through an old man’s digestive system, also without having to cook wastefully for one. The key is the lime. As with gin drinks, it carries the flavour. You don’t really want to be tasting raw gin (even Bombay Sapphire), you sure as fuck don’t want to be tasting the kale.
I…. I like raw gin. I call it Liquid Christmas.
Glorious weather for reading by an open window with the Houston/Navy game on mute (Mack Brown rules activated). Hooray for a quiet house.
Enjoy it.
It’s 34 degrees and pissing sideways in my corner of fly-over country.

We don’t get much true delightful autumn like this in my corner of the South, usually when we do, it’s on or around Christmas. There are multiple Christmas Days in my teenage-dom when I recall washing my car in the driveway after presents were opened and breakfast eaten.
Typically, we go straight from hot to weenie-shrinking cold. Quick enough to get everyone in the house sick.
The good news is I won more money playing poker last night than I lost on my two team parlay yesterday.
Stupid fucking Packers.
UConn/Zags just tipped on ESPN. 4 Atlantis!!!!
Happy belated Thanksgiving Commentists! Hope you all got your grub on but didn’t pig out, and enjoyed the Bears ruining Dongslinger awareness night at Lambeau!
Looks good…lemme just get my feet under me…

My work is one of those places that is open for business today.
Stupid government contract work.
I had it all set up for my employees to cover so I could have the day off then I looked at the calendar and realized I have to go in and close the monthly billing. And do payroll.
Shit.
That sucks. Can you at least get out early or grab a liquid lunch?
Yeah I can probably get in and out of there in a couple of hours but I still have to go.
Putting on pants is the worst part.
Just don’t pay ’em this week. What are they gonna do, not take the rollover check the following week?
There were 4 people on the bus when I went to work this morning. Then my boss told me to go work from home at 10, which I have happily done. The bus home was full for a bit, but it was all people going to the mall at Water Tower Place.
it me, alive
I wondered how bad that fruit syrup-y sounding high ABV beer would hang over. That bad, huh?
It’sa me, Regretio!
