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.

King Hippo, You know what the best part about Notre Dame missing the postseason?

Their fans are LOSING THEIR SHIT

first losing season in how long for kelly? String Him UP!

ITS SO GLORIOUS! Its almost patriots schadenfreude day, but in november

Horatio Cornblower

Instead of stringing Kelly up, might I suggest running him up on a scissors lift during a high wind event.

It seems more…justice-like.

WCS

Those fumbles inside OU’s five, and that pick-six aren’t figuring into this. Not at all.

WCS

All-time classic.

Welp, just found a swarm of fruit flies in my kitchen, but couldn’t find a cause. Dumped out my small appliance storage under the counter and found a hastily placed, uncleaned waffle iron in which flies were trying to desperately crawl out of on the way outside where they’ll justly freeze to death. Contemplating strangling the boy in his sleep.

Unsurprised

No.

Wake him up first. He should know why you’re murdering him.

Gratliff

The whole “My dad just doesn’t realize I can cook, so I’ll start at 6 am while he’s still in bed” phase has only recently started. No fires as of yet, but I’m not ruling it out for tomorrow!

That was bad ass!

Except for my married friends; they will fuck mash those puppies on you.

What the fuck is up with that?

*NOT COMPLAINING; just need some data.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Not fuck mash, more like fucking mash. That takes on a different meaning without the “ing.”

This is my mom and dad….

I don’t even give enough of a shit to feel despair anymore.
But I do need to watch that. I’ve ignored it ’til now.

Spanky Datass

Agreed.
Also who the fuck am I gonna follow and more importantly watch on TV when Swansea gets relegated?

Spanky Datass

That’s probably the right way to go … dammit.
I was thinking “Peaky Blinders is great and it’s set (mainly) in Birmingham sooooo … West Brom Albion?”

jjfozz

Big thanks to all of you for your respones on Slack, last night and today sucked. can’t get that shit out of my head, but laughing – along with bourbon and tits – is the cure for worrying about your death.

theeWeeBabySeamus

W love you, ya crotchety fuck.
And I do not give you permission to realize your own mortality.

Now for the “Who tries too hard to make it look real and concusses the other” show.

Nothing. That’s the problem.

The last line of defense to nuclear annihilation is that the military officer holding the football beats him to death rather than allow him access to its contents. In that event, we are fucked.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Huh. So I can check my Zazzle product sales & see what each poster sold for (accounting for sales & different sizes), and see what town they went to. Pretty cool!

I call it “acquainting myself with my customer base.”

Brocky

just don’t raise your expectations too high.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Beastmode Ate My Baby

Sales-wise? Nah, I’m about where I figured I would be. The HRTN merch is for the funz.

Brocky

not for the sales, for how stellar my home locale is

Beastmode Ate My Baby

It doesn’t give me detailed info. Just a first name & town. I know who a few of you are, but it’s all very general.

And you’re talking to someone who lives in Eastern WA, so…

litre_cola

Do you make the same amount for each? The discounted covered the cost to canadia

Beastmode Ate My Baby

It gets reduced, since it’s based on a percentage I set of the total price. But really…

It doesn’t matter.

I’m just going to keep adding HRTN merch, and I knew Zazzle had fairly regular sales going in, so it’s not a big deal.

laserguru

El Segundo was me.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Did you get the poster yet? It seems to arrive pretty fast for West Coasters.

laserguru

I did.

If you go to the earlier comments you can see a picture.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Hey, that looks great! I’m really happy it turned out so well.

laserguru

It looks great in the guitar corner.

That’s my Gretsch and my Fender Strat.

Okay, I love IU basketball as much as any true hoosier, but being ranked at 6 is way too high

Gratliff

Before becoming a joshi legend and moving on to become WWE’s go-to Japanese Murder Ninja Demon, she made a living doing graphic design for Nintendo DS and mobile games. This naturally led to bikini photo shoots/kicking people in the face. It’s a logical progression.

She seems nice.

Oh she’s a total sweetheart

She has her moments.

great minds eh?

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Having done some design work, I can testify that it does make you want to kick people in the face.

Who do you like Kovalev v Ward tonight?

I like me, for not buying it, waiting to see if it’s any good, then watching it for free on HBO next week.
