JV NFL and Hurricane Matthew Say HAI to October Proper

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!!
