We have yet another dumb-assed international break (right after Spurs beat City to finally create some intrigue at the top of the table), so it’s JV and JV alone this Saturday. Plus, of course, lots of ridiculous, faux-solemn requests for prayers and donations by your favourite ESPN/Fox/CBS teevee foofs. Try doing a shot each time, and see if’n you die.
Notre Dame at NC State (Noon, ABC)
This one could be fun, because of wind and rain. Plus, the Irish are shhiiiiiittttt right now (as the wolven sort are pretty much always), so this could be ridiculous in the elements. Plus, I have to watch, so fuck you, so should you. MAYBE.
Auburn at Mississippi State (Noon, ESPN)
Since LSU/Florida done got postponed, this is your bestest noon alternate viewing. Survival death match for continued relevancy in the still-brutal SEC West.
Tennessee at Texas A&M (3:30, CBS)
OK, so you escaped the clutches of UGA and the Dawg Pound, Butch Jones. Get out of College Station alive and I will believe your balls have really dropped. Clear fixture of the day, for the neutral fan.
Alabama at Arkansas (7:00, ESPN)
Pig Sooey is a tough draw for Roll Damn Tide, as they love a mudder game, and Bama usually can’t just pass them out of one. I think this Nick Saban squad is too good to get trapped here, but I wouldn’t bet my life on it.
Washington at Oregon (7:30, Fox)
Oregon is pretty terrible, but the Huskies will no doubt come out flat, thinking they have already accomplished their mission (did Shrub teach you nothing??!!). Could be interesting, could be a shitshow. Either way, 100 points will be scored, that’s always fun with Gus Johnson in the house.
Florida State at Miami (8:00, ABC)
The game itself has little luster, it’s all about the carnage! Anyway, I’m far from convinced it will actually end up happening.
Washington State at Stanford (10:30, ESPN)
Do any of you late night tweaker game aficianados huff compuster dusters? That seems like a Mike Leach/Eastern Washington kind of thing to me. Anyway, GO COUGS!!
You already convinced me to give up on football. I have gone to rewatching Happy Endings
Can Indiana actually ruin Ohio States season or is the early tie bullshit? I would go to that to root against Ohio State if they actually have a chance
There was an early osu turnover, and Indiana has been laughable but time consuming on offense so far.
I don’t have the actual stat in front of me, but I would bet a lot of money that Indiana hasn’t beaten Ohio State in Urban Meyer’s lifetime.
True story: whenever IU hosts OSU, they take a nice aerial photo of the stadium. Because OSU fans buy up all the tickets, and OSU’s colors are close enough to IUs that it looks like the stadium is filled with IU fans.
If this site is to be believed, 20 in a row. Though that’s not necessarily 20 years.

Whoops. I’m wrong. In 1988 IU beat OSU.
That’s the last time New Jersey increased the gas tax!

I’ve never seen Asa Akira as a verb. I assume it has something to do with taking it up the ass?

What a fucking shithead, calling a timeout on a kneel down play

Joke’s on me: The GABF is in Denver this weekend.
I remember beer…
I had no interest in either team coming in. My reaction to the last play was still
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
College football saturday: GREAT time to advertise your soccer video game.

Bullshit, he was out
their own PLAYERS on the sidelines knew it…but the refs fluff the Irish just as blatantly as the media
Does Indiana have the face of a clock on their helmets to signify their daylight savings time defying ways?
Sadly, they fell in line with everyone else about 10 years ago.
Arizona and Hawaii still defy the rest of us though.
what kind of shit tackling was that??
I’ve mentioned it twice before, this field is holding up great, even though it is obviously flooded on 2/3 of it
I’ve watched maybe 10 minutes of football today, so someone will need to tell me. Has the PA at NC State been blaring out Scorpions hits during timeouts?

NO FUCKING WAY!!!!
/look at you, NC State!
my “fuck YOUR punt up, fuck YOUR punt up” chant worked!!!
Shit, I missed something letting my dog out/actually cig break
Living in Ohio during election season sucks, btw. I have 3 different election survey companies on my caller block list.
And it didn’t help that I declared Republican to vote for Trump in the primary. But it’s fun when the GOP/Trump campaigners call to remind me to vote and I just laugh in their ears before hanging up.
“Thank you for reminding me to vote for Hillary as I had planned to spend Election Day scratching my own butthole and seeing it made my fingers stink.”
FAT GUY WOO!!!

I know the military is supposed to be not political, but I have a brother in the army. They lie to him constantly to get him to be a Republican even though he disagrees with 95% of their platform. I show him facts but he refuses to believe them. Good news, his new plan instead of re-upping is buying a boat and go island to island being a bartender like Archer from whenever Archer did that. He has an awesome dog companion too.
ppl forget lincon was a rupublican and waged the bloodiest american war ever
Welp, football is done for me. Kids want to watch a movie, and my wife is doing professional meeting stuff, so I’m checking out of being a good parent and letting the kids have their movie. Fuck. Land Before Time. Maybe I’ll pull up ESPN on my laptop here.
ND 41 plays, 45 yards?
Oh, is there a Gaelic word for schadenfreude?
but NOT LOSING
Classic NC State, folks.
You know, when I think “nuclear non-proliferation,” I think “NC State.” /sarcasm
And my research area is actually international security.
Well, if Duke Energy could they would definitely sell nuclear technology to anyone with the money.
I really hope Chubb from NC State and Butt from Michigan end up on the same pro team.
Stupid Personified-Thy name is North Carolina State
Still rooting for them though, right?
Of course-I love me the underdog.
I refuse to believe there’s stupidity in North Carolina
No, my brother is stationed there, there is stupidity
Though the RDU “triangle” MSA has like the 2nd highest concentration of post-graduate degrees in teh nation. Both aspects is true!!

I’m cheering for NC State So hard right now…
In a world where “muffed” is an official football term (just used by the ref in the ou-texas game), how can you blame that guy for molesting women?
With all the waxing/shaving going on, is “muff” really a relevant term anymore?
After years of trying, convincing and effort. After years of my youngest daughter going through teenage angst, ambivalence and disdain.
My youngest daughter has officially decided that she is…
A Vikings fan! And she’s swaddling the little yow’un in Vikings gear!
And all it finally took was having an asshole coworker who is a Packers fan.
This is my proudest day ever.

I mocked Soldier Field earlier and half gave praise for NC State’s field. I need to say that really is a great playing surface. I know this is coming after a punter accidentally kneeling, but it is a fucking hurricane and the field looks great
NFL Films were trippy as fuck back in the mid 80’s.

Its honest to god, a re-imagining of Lord of the Rings, using actual Browns players from the 1986 squad.
asshole Governor is forcing game to teeny window in left of teevee box.
That’s the game’s proper biological place
Nyheim almost done broke it.
Did anyone hear a timetable for when the NC State game will be back on? I was actually enjoying the rain game but left for a cig while they were announcing the delay.
looks imminent
Saw it like 15 seconds after I posted. I have no interest in the other games so I just left it on.
I should be interested in the Washington – Oregon game, but for the life of me I couldn’t care less. I don’t even care about the people I know at the game.
I do miss tailgating like I was able to do for UNM games. Because God knows the games were dumpster fires.
Okay — i was fine with wasting my day watching football I don’t care about but I will NOT stand for watching rain delayed halftime #content of games I do not care about.
Maybe I’ll catch you cats around 7pm when Arizona gets whomped by the Utes (at least the state still has Drew Stanton and the Cardinals!).
This latest Trump news makes me want to go out and help politically, not because I am offended, just to make Democrats still vote. Rich white people that claim to hate Trump will vote for him anyways on election day. Trust me. I know them.
As bad a Trump is, there are people who still disagree with Clinton’s platform.
We live in a country of lesser of two evils. I hate that Hillary is running on a platform more right than Nixon, better than probably getting into a war the first time someone disagrees with him or at the very least completely destroy what is left of the middle class
or that it’s generally a bad idea to give the keys of the country to a malevolent crazy person. There’s no “re-do” button after we have a good laugh at the chaos.
Either way, Hillary is gonna win. She was always gonna win. The bummer is that she is a terrible candidate who should only win by a hair against an atrocious opponent. Instead, she’s going to win handily and that will get spun into “America is overwhelmingly for Clinton!” when, of course, it is not and we know she’s just four more years of a slow-acting poison in lieu of Russian roulette with a muzzleloader.
oh, Dems will vote. Especially womenfolk.
I doubt it
For those desperate to watch something they don’t care about-CBS has Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing. You’re welcome.
Flying death!?
I read something somewhere that the vast majority of guys that have tried to break the water speed record have died in the attempt.
A glorious death
This is your regular reminder that John McCain is and always has been a vile piece of shit who will do anything to cover his own ass.

I force some nasty fan letters coming out of this.
But people LOVE Cam
Serious question for my imaginary American friends-
I think Clinton rolling to victory is a given. What happens to the Republican party? I’ve read all that “this is their death” hyperbole-you’ve obviously got a two-party system firmly entrenched. Do they double down yet again? Do they spend more money at the state/municipal level? How do you guys see this playing out?
Nothing.
Because of gerrymandering and the seniority system in Congress, they’ll have this country by the balls until the last white man dies.
Dies?
More like shot by a thug.
I never said “of natural causes”
Please let me live, I just like TV and football and fixing computer problems
Can’t do it, Sally
Trump’s remarks (all of them) are the equivalent of Wall Street laundering money for terrorist/wrongfully foreclosing on homeowners/illegally opening millions of unauthorized accounts over the course of years.
Trump will lose. GOP leadership will say they have made mistakes but are committed to fixing things and returning to conservative principles. They will then thank the public for the opportunity to do better for them next time and retreat to a meeting with lobbyists and their democrat counterparts.
We’ve reached the point where established institutions cannot die. Penn State football, Wells Fargo, GM, the VA….take your pick. Nothing changes, it only gets repackaged.

Is NC State’s field turf or grass? Because if it’s grass I absolutely hope they can have a demo derby because it’s so muddy
Oh it its a turf field dammit
yeah I think it’s some of that fancily designed field turf stuff now, it’s one of the majors here so we upgraded a few years ago

IF RECRUIT STAR RATINGS ARE SO IMPORTANT AND ACCURATE WHY DO WE EVEN PLAY THE GAMES? WHY DONT WE JUST AWARD THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP BASED ON AVERAGE STARS OF EACH RECRUITING CLASS?
It’s like star ratings are complete b*******
Because we need to air commercials. Commercials with real people*.
