JV NFL Schedule/Open Saturday Thread (12 Nov 2016)

I have no words nor fucks left to give. Games of note:

Baylor at Oklahoma (Noon, ABC/ESPN2)

Scoring.

Kentucky at Tennessee (Noon, SECN)

Wildcats still have reasonable chance to win East with win here.

Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech (3:30, ESPNU)

ACC Coastal would be clinched with VPI win. I can’t believe I’m tying this, but THANK YOU, DUKE.

Texas Tech at Oklahoma State (3:30, FS1)

Offense again.

LSU at Arkansas (7:00, ESPN)

Physicality, best SEC West game.

USC at Washington (7:30, Fox)

Just in case, but likely blowout.

Cal at Washington State (10:30, ESPN)

Late night, none of us deserve cheerleaders (apologies to Canucks).

This may take a few extra words but it needs to be said.

My best friend remarried a few years back and I really like his new wife. She’s funny as hell, great to hang out with. She was with us when we did the Vikings at Green Bay road trip that my best friend and I had been planning since like 1982. She’s also one of my Facebook buddies.
She has two children, both were adopted, the son was about one when she adopted him and the older daughter was about 6 years older.

Her ex husband was an uncle to the kids and I guess the birth parents were both just horribly into the drug scene so they were essentially “rescue” children.

When the adopted daughter got into her teens she wanted to go back to her biological parents who lived in drug addled filth down in South Carolina.
Turns out the daughter got into the drug scene herself. This also included her having a newborn that was addicted to heroin.

Anyway, the daughter married another drug addled super citizen and they had legal issues, arrests, warrants out for them etc etc.

They disappeared last August and nobody was surprised by it. They should have been.

That’s her in the mugshot photo in this news story.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/11/us/spartanburg-reacts-to-todd-kohlhepp/index.html

Yeah. THAT story with the girl chained up like a dog.

Her mom is obviously devastated.

My buddy told me this morning.

I have nothing else to add.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Holy shit dude. That is some fucked uppedness to the nth degree.
Hope your friend and his lady aren’t too devastated, but I know better.
Yeesh.

laserguru

Yeah, I didn’t know what to tell him. Buddy’s wife was just in a car accident too. Totaled the car, she’s alright but had a concussion.

What do you say to someone who’s daughter and daughters’ husband were found murdered on a serial killers’ property?

Sorry to be a downer but I had to “ipecac” that story up because it’s like poison.

theeWeeBabySeamus

No worries.
But agreed…what can you say?
I suppose when the rawness wears off, which might take awhile, and grief turns to guilt (ie what did we do to cause this/how could we have stopped it?)…the answer is a resounding “nothing”.
Without going into too much detail publicly, my parents struggle with guilt feelings over something with my brother, the root of which was drugs. And sadly, there’s nothing they could have done. My brother is a sociopath and one way or another it was going to happen.

But still, re: your friends, I just can’t imagine how what they must be feeling.

laserguru

Welp, I officially need a beer and a bowl now.

To better times!

Brocky

this is some really great advice here.

its human nature that we react mostly to how we ourselves are affected. make sure your buddy and his wife knows they did everything they could, irregardless of opportunity, and, as absurd as it may sound, there’s no way to know if the girl could not have had a worse fate.

laserguru

What’s really amazing is the son. He’s in college, plays football. I’ve met him many times, Hell I slept in his room when youngest right and I went to NY, Jersey and Philly for a road trip.

He’s a great kid and you have to wonder… if she would have just stayed with her adopted mom.

JustStopDude

Someone please explain to me Clemson’s ranking?

I realize they are undefeated…but they struggle consistently to beat shitty teams in their shitty conference…

JustStopDude

If Pitt pulls this “upset” Clemson should be dropped out of the top 10.

#2 in the nation, at home, cannot put away a 5-4 team.

Brocky

If i had to guess, the difference between being undefeated and a 1 loss team is more significant than a the difference between a 1-loss team and a 2 loss team.

think of notre dame in 2012. absurdly under-performing, ranked #1 because they were 12-0.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Go ‘Dawggies!!!!
Woof, Woof!!!!

Don’t know why I randomly thought of this, I once heard an urban legend that an actor playing ronald once got fired for using the bathroom at a wendys, while still dressed in full costume, google isn’t any help, has anyone else heard of this?

herodotus450

Sounds more legend than urban to me. Or maybe he got fired for leaving the premises (of Mcdonalds) in costume, like that’s “company property” and can’t be taken home.

Brocky

how weird is it that i’m disappointed by IU football. You’d think they’d have more momentum after beating michigan state, as overrated as they were this year.

Obviously, penn state is ranked, but I really was hoping this year IU could go back to a bowl game, it’d be they’re first back to back bowl appearances since 1991, uncoincidentally, their last bowl win.

2 games left, against #3 michigan, who is going to use IU as a tune up game for their annual OSU tilt, and although purdue is certainly a bottom feeder once again, i’d rather not leave it up to chance.

The key is to not stop with the cheese(s) filling, but also use beef and sausage. But pre-cook the beef and sausage before mixing with the cheese(s), otherwise you will get food poisoning. Plus it’s gross to bite into raw beef and sausage.

My knee is definitely broken. I need to go steal the painkillers my mom didn’t take after her surgery. Also Touchdown WI! And now interception WI!

entropy

Jesus man, if it’s definitely broken, you need a hospital, not painkillers.

Bloody Lethal

Put it in concussion protocol and then it’ll be fine in 3 days.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I meant damaged permanently and needs rehab to get back to ok, not a physical broken bone. All the doctor would tell me is you have to do strength training to trick my body into thinking the nerve damage isn’t there.

Also, struck out on those painkillers. Why didn’t WI have a legalize weed thing on the ballot?

Sounds like patella femoral syndrome.
Start working on the quads and hopefully you won’t have any partial dislocations.

Also, the latest Cracked podcast is a soothing and intelligent post mortem to the election. Well worth watching the games on mute for an hour & change. Cheers!

CATS came back from a 17-2 deficit to win 65-63 last night over (12) MSU. I have on Oklahoma/Baylor now but volume less. I think I might buy into this approach for NFL games too.

Hoosiers beat Jayhawks in OT last night which was just a great game.

It really was a great game.
Happy IU won tho. And I hate IU. But hate KU more.
But yes, it was a great game.

Entirely based on one game against Colgate, (Crest had a scheduling thingy) the Cuse basketball team is going to wreak havoc in the ACC this year.

Entirely based on one game against GaSouthern, NC State is not going to wreak havoc in the ACC this year.

entropy

So, did my early-season look in on the NBA… does the Lakers seeming marginally competent mean I have to pay attention to them this year, or can I safely take this year off because they’re a young team that will probably turn unwatchable by mid-season?

Bloody Lethal

I ask myself that same thing.

laserguru

They’re a lot more fun to watch this year because at least they are on the upswing of the rebuild instead of still bottoming out.

Randle and Russell are entertaining but you still have to put up with Swaggy P.

I’m not a fan but living here you can’t help but be exposed to them.
Don’t worry, they’re not winning any titles for a long time yet.

I am so burned out on Trump already. His clown car is breaking down and he hasn’t done jack shit.

I’ll say this one thing, and then start a Trump embargo: what a fucking coward. He goes to Mexico and chickens out and doesn’t talk about his wall. Now he goes to the White House and chickens out with Obama. Chickens out with Christie (either saying “He’s corrupt and he sucks; he’s fired!” or saying, “I stand by him leading my transition team.”). Chickens out with lobbyists. This guy doesn’t have a spine. He talks tough, and then when it’s time to put up or shut up, he shuts up. He doesn’t want to BE President; he wants to act like he’s President. So the signal has been sent to all the hacks, the lobbyists, those nuts who have been frozen out by the establishment GOP: you can do what you want, so long as you make President (barf) Trump look like he’s in charge.

And so we get a climate change denier in charge of the fucking EPA.

And there, I’m done. Bring on the game wherein men damage each other’s brains for our entertainment.
