EPL Returns and Other Lesser Footy Sadness

Everything still sucks out loud and should be set on fire. It will all be ablaze soon enough, and Lesser Footy exists to hopefully help distract you at least a little bit until it happens.

The early Saturday fixture (7:30, NBCSN)is strong and assy, with 6th position Manure hosting 4th place Arseholes. 6 points separate the two in the table, though, so objects in the mirror may be farther away than they actually appear.

A busy 10:00 window features Soton hosting the Shite (NBCSN), and hopefully beating, well, the absolute shit out of them. Everton host Swans on Extra Time (and will no doubt disappoint me), plus Leicester/Watford (also Extra Time) et al.

Spurs host West Ham (12:30, NBC) and who gives a shit? My local affiliate is bumping it for NC State/Miami. Womp womp.

One sad little game Sunday (Middlesbrough host Chelski, 11:00, NBCSN), and a sadder one for BMNF (West Brom/Burnley, 3:00, NBCSN) and that will be that.

Oklahoma State at TCU (Noon, FS1)

If the Pokes keep winning, that Bedlam game could be mighty meaningful (and not just have a really cool rivalry name). We will see if Bloodeyes have any resistance left in ’em.

Florida at LSU (1:00, SECN)

Re-scheduled hurricane game, SEC really could use the marquee game given all the teams on D-1AA “bye” but they left it in this weird time/channel slot.

Washington State at Colorado (3:30, Fox)

Possible dry run for the Pac 12 title game, much like last week’s Washington/SC tilt. Prelude to the Apple Cup, but one knows Mike Leach wants 9-0 and will be focused on the Buffs. Good game.

Indiana at Michigan (3:30, ESPN)

Time to find out just how shitty Meeeechigan’s backup QB is. Hopefully, hilarity ensues.

Stanford at Cal (5:30, Pac12)

Neeeerrrrrrd hate is still hate.

Clemson at Wake Forest (7:00, ESPN)

Perhaps Team Jeebus Camp will continue sabotaging itself as much as the Fightin’ Petrinos. One can only hope.

Oklahoma at West Virginia (8:00, ABC)

De facto Big 12 title game, and winner has an outside shot at the playoffs (especially if Boomer Sooner). Hopefully, it will be fun, for the alternatives are dire.

USC at UCLA (10:30, ESPN)

Sexy hate is still hate, too.

I think the only reason to keep watching this WI game is to hope they put up more than the 72 Russell Wilson and whichever back, maybe Gordon(?) put up in the last football game I saw in person.

I can take the passive/ aggressive of bringing her up, then responding to a comment with “she’s DEAD.” But it will take me a while to come up with an unrelated gif.

Morning fellers. Looks like WordPress is playing nice with me so far today. But the day is still young and that bipolar thing will probably show up later.
But hello for now anyway. 🙂

This article is more accurate than any your relatives will cite as fact on Thanksgiving

Fronkenshteen

Trying to talk the wife into moving to New Zealand for 8 years. They need teachers for special needs kids and she’s got 8 years experience and a couple of Masters Degrees too. It’s the kind of situation where who knows? Maybe they need her so bad they throw a big bag of money at her, right? It’d be fun just exploring the possibilities. She won’t seriously consider it though, “because my mom would go into a deep depression”. Balls.

A friend of mine moves to NZ about a year and a half ago after getting a job there. I definitely think this is possible. Just get your wife’s to move with you!

Did you forget to mention that Lord of the Rings was filmed there?

You absolutely have to do it. Just ask WhyEaglesWhy about the experience of living Down Under (shut up, NZ qualifies). Bring Mom along.

UCONN is also looking good.

The women I mean. The men look like 5 guys who just met three minutes before tip-off.

scotchnaut

The petty guys on the fan board I follow are overjoyed at UCONN’s fall.

The Bruins look pretty fun too but we wouldn’t know because the fucking Pac-12 network hogs all of their games and nobody here is certain that the Pac-12 network actually exists.

What’s the science involved with trying to play American football at 7000 ft. I noticed Neil Rackers kicked 5 or 6 FGs last time the NFL played a game there. Soccer players described it as trying to breathe with a plastic bag over your head. Sounds delightful. Also sounds like the second half is gonna be a shitshow. What do you do fantasy-wise? Play everyone? Play no one?

Akeem Hunt “good”? It’s him or Dixon.

Well this match is a whole lotta nothin’ so far. Not sure there’s been a shot on goal yet.
You on baby girl duty this morning, WCS? I laughed when I logged on at 6:50 & you were already here.

WCS

I’m always on baby girl duty.

Want some prospective on our new Fuhrer? Go watch the 30 For 30: Who Killed the USFL? It aired in 2009, and discusses a pro football league in the ’80s. Herr Donald turned a potential rival to the NFL into his own thing. Guess how it worked out.

Fronkenshteen

The Central Park Five, too. Jeff Sessions – Attorney General? John Bolton – Sec. Of State? We’re screwed to the wall, man.

WCS

Herr Donald is going to turn the entire United States into the Jets. Sit back and watch the show, I say.
