Onwards Towards Legitimate Autumn Lesser Footy

Summer 2017 is finally going away, thank God, and Lesser Footy wants to be a part of helping you forget.  Won’t you please just let it into your living room and/or recluse unabomber shack?

17th position (almost as shite as Everton!) West Ham host 5th place Spurs to kick everything off (7:25, NBCSN).  Spurs could use a good kicking of somebody’s teeth in, as I was shocked to see them actually a point behind fucking Newcastle.  There’s a reason the saying goes “don’t even look at the table until 10 matches in.”  But holy Christ, have a word.

The 10am window is garbage, with tied for 1st City hosting worst side to open Premier League play in history of EVAR, Crystal Palace (NBCSN) your lead option.  Stoke and Chelsea are on CNBC (meh), and if you want anything else (like the suckfest Toffees hosting yeah right’s Cherries), you’ll have to pay for it.

Leicester host Liverpool in this week’s spotlight dance (12:30, NBC), but in 15th position, our Foxes don’t look to be on form enough to make me laugh at the German Elton John’s misfortunes.  Que lastima.

There is only one, dull Sunday match – Brighton & Hove v. Newcastle (11:00, NBCSN), and you are most certainly not excused from mandatory Commentist NFL London game duty.  Arsenal and West Brom (3:00, NBCSN) is a surprising Monday Night footy matchup, in that the Albion are actually higher in the table (10th v. 12th) going in.

NC State at Florida State (Noon, ABC/ESPN2)

Historically, my shitty wolves have been pests against their hostile Native American counterparts.  They are breaking in a new, uber-skinny freshman QB against several NFL prospects along NC State’s DL.  But the speed and athleticism advantage everywhere else on the field is so great, I still suspect it won’t matter.  If it does, it will be because Jimbo is as stupid as the name would indicate.

Texas Tech at Houston (Noon, ESPN2/ABC)

Mirror image coverage game!  Very interesting interleague, intrastate battle between two programs who live in the shadows of bigger names who produce jack shit.  There is an opportunity in particular for Guns Up!! to progress in the Big 12-ish this season, with so much fire power concentrated in OK.

Texas A&M v. Arkansas in JerralWorld (Noon, ESPN)

Again…I would give my left nut (not like I’m using it anyway) to have Kevin Sumlin coaching in Raleigh.  But if he loses this one, he might as well start packing.  And Pig!  Sooey!! needs a win very badly, too.  Another interesting one.

TCU at Oklahoma State (3:30, ESPN)

On paper, this looks like the first legitimate test for BDSM State, but from what I’ve seen…Bloodeyes don’t have the firepower to keep up, especially not in Stillwater.  Oh yeah, that’s a paddlin’ – just how they likes it.  Weird fuckers.

Michigan at Purdue (4:00, Fox)

I would really like for this to be a trap game, as the Boilers look much improved.  But really, it’s just a weak window of games.

Oklahoma at Baylor (6:30, FS1)

Not too much fun when the rape shoe is on the other foot, eh?

Mississippi State at Georgia (7:00, ESPN)

OK, you beat the tar shit out of LSU.  But that was at home, in front of your delirium-inducing bell ringing.  Go between the hedges and show us what the fuck you really got.

Florida at Kentucky (7:30, SECN)

Lots of really shitty games getting national coverage, but the Gators aren’t much account and the Wildcats just won on the road in Chicken Land (as I warned ya they might).   Interesting match-up alert.

Washington at Colorado (10:00, FS1)

The Huskies and Buffs both lost lots of talent from their PAC 12 title game sides, but this should still be fun to watch.

UCLA at Standford (10:30, ESPN)

Here’s your ultimate in late night tweaker fun-time action.  Two wounded animals, equally needing the win.  But Stanford is wounded and at home.  Can they force tempo against Chosen Rosen and his tribe of Israelites?  Caffeinate to see!

I go have some dinner and the Boilermakers have shit all over the field.

Is this why we can’t have nice things?

So, this is a couple hours late, but Moose’s Harry Potter post below reminded me of this quite excellent video.

Passing on It with the Cornblowers, but we may go see Kingsman 2: Electric Boogaloo tonight. So hopefully Channing Tatum gets me laid tonight.

I think it was Horatio who was going to watch IT tonight. If you watch IT first, you might be in for a freaky night:

Holy crap! They’re doing an episode about Huey, Duey and Louie’s mother?!

Horatio Cornblower

That’s no way to talk about Purdue’s offense, sir.

I don’t give a flying feather about…. oh, wait they’re playing Michigan.

Yay, beat Micihigan you (looks up team team) a Boilermaker?! They’re named after a drink?! Now, this a team that I can…oh wait Its named after a train. Still kind of neat, but not as much as a cocktail.

Did they photoshop the Marlboro Red out of his hand?

Horatio Cornblower

Apparently I’m going to see ‘It’ tonight and am getting laid.

God I hope it’s in the reverse order.

Are the two actions related or it just an amazing coincidence?

Mom took the kid so we have the night to ourselves.

The dog may judge us, but he can’t talk.

Have they finally cracked O’Korn?

LemonJello

They sent Speight to the locker room.

See my (Jameson) Vest kicking field goals all over Miami

Unsurprised

I guess I’ll go for a walk soon. I don’t have anything I want to do more, not that I don’t have a ton of things I should be doing. Oh, God. Why am I making life so hard on myself?

LemonJello

Take the walk, sort some thoughts out, come back and get some things done while also posting here.

Calm down. Walk to the corner store to clear your head. Buy beer and/or liquor. Return home. Watch football. Keep us apprised of your updates and findings.

You’ll get through this.

JustStopDude

TCU is just SMU with discretion right?

LemonJello

They know to bury the dead hookers deeper and cover them in lye?

Okay. New episode of Duck Tales reboot. One minute in, and it looks like the first episode might not be a nostalgic-induced fluke after all.

So Darnold has the poor release of Russ, and a less powerful arm than Wentz?

Don’t forget the vacant, dead-eyed expression of Sam Bradford.

Guys, YOU GUYS! Darnold is the Serpentor of quarteredbacks!
