National Semifinals (and Prelude Exhibition) Preview

I drove into my downtown office this morning, and even though I don’t live in a REAL city…twas quickly reminded of how much I despise humanity and the bullshit social obligation-fest that is New Year’s Eve.

What am I gonna do tonight? Stay home and watch fucking football. Otherwise, I would deliberately go to bed before midnight. Because fuck your societal mores.

Peach Bowl – Houston vs. Florida State (Noon, ESPN)

They brought back the “peach” element to the corporatization at least, thank fuck. I woulda called it “Peach Bowl” anyway, but still. True story, my ex-mother-in-law ALWAYS called it “Chick-a-fil.” Truly disturbing. Anyway, there are some that believe YOOOOOUSTON is a good footbaw team, and will stay with Florida State. I am not one of them, even though I don’t believe the Noles are any great shakes themselves.

Semifinal #1 – Oklahoma v. Clemson (4:00, ESPN)

Fuck your branding, it’s not a bowl anymore, it’s the goddamned national semifinal. Also, the ESPN Deportes feed will be live on ESPN2 (for both semis), methinks I will pill up and watch as much of that as my brain can process. Viva! First team to 60 wins this one. Psst, it’ll be Boomer Sooner, not Coach Jeebus Camp’s crew.

Semifinal #2 – Alabama v. Michigan State (8:00, ESPN)

The scowling mofo pictured above is the good guy in today’s action, by a longshot. And there is absolutely, positively no change in hell the rankings weren’t manipulated to make sure Satan….ummmm, I mean Saban faced his old team. A marked contrast from the first game, if anyone hits 20 it will be a mild shock. But if anyone does, it will be Roll Damn Tide and we will all has the sads.

Do I really have to root for Clemson now?

If it weren’t for all the dropped passes Michigan State would still lose by being bad at football.

makeitsnowondem

Looks like Michigan State’s got too many Cooks.

blackroseMD1

Oops.

blackroseMD1

Yep. He telegraphed that so badly that I could have intercepted that pass, and I’m half drunk…and old…and fat.

makeitsnowondem

She is the wo-o-o-orst

I made a Skyline-style chili for New Year’s Eve. Come at me.

blackroseMD1

That was a hell of a catch.

makeitsnowondem

Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Barleywine (2013!) is yum.

makeitsnowondem

There’s no blowout that could be more embarrassing to Alabama than losing this game 3-0.

blackroseMD1

I would drink every time they make a first down, but I’d actually like to get at least buzzed tonight.

makeitsnowondem

Gentlemen.

makeitsnowondem

Man, I’m not even feeling it yet.

makeitsnowondem

Oh, no, it’s just that I’ve barely drunk anything yet. This is user error.
