JV NFL Parties Alone – 7 October Open Thread

For the record, I am typing this here preview up before my maybe-not-quite-shitty wolves host Louisville Thursday night, and crash like Icarus and send me deeper into depression.  Bell Biv, DeVoe (DaVoe??), now ya know.

Paedo State at Northwestern (Noon, ABC)

It would be nice if the Mildcats did a thing.  I wouldn’t bet on it.

Georgia at Vanderbilt (Noon, ESPN)

I would suspect that Vandy at least forces the Dawgs to throw the ball, which might at least cause a sweat to get broken.  If not, consider me convinced UGA is for realsies.

West By God Virginia at TCU (3:30, FS1)

This will be good, old fashioned Big 12-ish wacky fun time goodness.  Buhlee dat!!  Bloodeyes will have their defense tested.

Miami at Florida State (3:30, ESPN)

Noles have won 7 straight (most not in close fashion) in this series, but look like a semen-encrusted sweatsock so far this season.  But not really sure Da U that much of an upgrade.  Maybe a washcloth?

LSU at Florida (3:30, CBS)

Ed Orgeron’s bunch is a failure pile in a sadness bowl (h/t Patton Oswalt).  And I have no fucking clue how Florida keeps winning every week, let alone blitzing a rival 42-zip like they done UT last week.  But they keep proving me wrong, so hey, purty cheerleaders!

Kansas State at Texas (7:00, FS1)

Highlighted because Undead Bill Snyder still roams the earth, and will likely fuck up the ‘Horns Big 12-ish run before it even gets off the ground.

Alabama at Texas A&M (7:15, ESPN)

Somehow, the Aggies have managed to win out after that soul-crushing choke to open the season at UCLA.  Whilst the Bruins have gone straight down the toilet.  Sometimes momentum is really nothing in sports and in life.  Anyway, Roll Damn Tide is in town, so A-game better be on display.  We shall see.

Washington State at Oregon (8:00, Fox)

Here’s your game of the week, folks.  Plus it will mix Gus Johnson and Mike Leach.  Need I say MOAR?

Stanford at Utah (10:15, FS1)

Another reasonably interesting FS1 matchup, for the tweaker set.  Or for one’s DVR, since they’s fuckall to watch Sunday morning thanks to International Break bullshit.  Team Secular Big Love is undefeated, with a great defense but always with that suspected glass jaw until they take that first real punch.  Well, here it comes.

FlaSt will not go quietly into that goodnight.

2nd Targeting penalty against OSU, but at least this one is legit.

Also 4th String QB Alert in Maryland! We gotta 4th Stringer on the field!

So if anyone here is watching “The Good Doctor” or “Doogie Rainman, MD”, how is it?

LemonJello

I am interested in anyone’s opinions on The Gifted: Discount X-Men.

Redshirt

I enjoyed the realism of the story. It was able to be a fantasy show but relatable.

Also, DAYMN, AMY ACKER!

Romonobyl

Good Doctor was better than I expected. The kid playing the main character isn’t half bad and the story line allows him to screw up even. Maybe not a very realistic show, but semi-believable.

WCS

Christ.

Brocky

Lol, I have no idea which game you’re reacting to, but it’s just funny for college football woes

LemonJello

Flipped over to Golden Boners v ShitHeels to check the score.

The treatment of U*NC by ND can best be described as Baylor Co-Ed-esque. Or prolapse.

Brocky

So I doubt anyone else is keeping track of the IU game but the small south Carolina school they’re playing is 0/10 on passing, and it’s the fourth quarter

LemonJello

I want to make a sarcastic comment about the attire of some of the ladies at FlaSt v Da U, but since they seem to be wearing their Sunday-best tube tops, I’ll refrain.

Redshirt

Sunday-best “Walk of Shame” or Sunday-best “church clothes”?

LemonJello

Yes.

They go hand in hand in Tallahassee.

With all this rain falling in UNC, I’m reminded that when I become Evil Overlord of the World, all football fields must be played on Natural Grass. Its football, we want to be mud on the jerseys.

OK where the fuck is the remote? It was here last night. I’ve looked everywhere, I’ve run out of logical places. I checked inside the dishwasher

Redshirt

Check under the sofas. If your sofa has a hide-a-bed, check in the sofa.

LemonJello

Check the studio toliet. Maybe you left it in the tank?

If Urban’s kicker doesn’t give him another heart attack, Urban may rip out his kicker’s heart on the field before this game over.

Just one?

Nats just got Jeffery Maier’d.

Redshirt

The man is wearing a Cubs jersey, reached over the fence and caught the ball. How much more evidence do you need that that’s fan interference?

...

No idea. I’m shocked it wasn’t overturned.

Redshirt

Okay, so I went on Google Images to find a meme where its Robert Downey, Jr. and the caption is “Ban Guns? Why don’t you Ban Murder? Get rid of that too.” Sadly, I couldn’t find it. What I did find is all the collective hatred of the Internet from both the pro-guns conservative and the anti-guns liberals. I was unprepared for this level of pure hatred that would kill Captain Planet dead.

So I’ve lost all hope for humanity. Please send assistance.

I got Pumpkin Frosted Mini Wheats, hot damn are they good.

Romonobyl

You’re dead to me.

Uncle Ed?

Romonobyl

Nothing personal, I just loved Frosted Mini Wheats as a kid and view any alteration as a perversion of my precious childhood.
I’m still getting over M&Ms in Chips Ahoy.

LemonJello

Good day, Imaginary internet Friends!

The due diligence period for the potential buyers of Fortress LemonJello ended last night, so I spent the day addressing the myriad and sundry items they requested to be fixed.

Now I get beer and JV fitbaw.

How are we doing this evening?

scotchnaut

LEMON! Me love you long time.

Would’ve been a better movie if they didn’t let the actors ad-lib 80 percent of it.

LemonJello

If you watch it without comparing it to the original, it’s entertaining.

Redshirt

So its like Batman v. Superman. If it was any other movie with them not named “Batman”, “Superman” or “Ghostbusters”, its good?

LemonJello

Pretty much.

Redshirt

Everyone look away. Lemon and Scotchnaut are going to start making animal noises.

Romonobyl

So Justin Bieber is doing the Steampunk thing now?

LemonJello

Can we put him in an iron lung?

scotchnaut

Okay. I may have been dranking.

scotchnaut

I love The Bourne Identity as a movie. I tried to read the book but the dialogue was a fucking joke written by fifth grader.

Redshirt

When I first watched “Amazing Spider-Man 1” I thought it was great. Now after seeing “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, its suddenly not as good. That’s how you know a movie is great. It greatness rewrites your memories and opinions of past movies you’ve seen.

Romonobyl

Also the reason why I hate the movies based on a book I enjoyed.

Redshirt

That’s why I don’t read. I read the novelization to “Batman: No Man’s Land” and thought it was awesome. Every character was great. I bought the comics and was wondering if it was even the same story.

...

Gentlemen.

The Cubs are in the playoffs so I am back on my bullshit.

WCS

Naturally.

It’s the first Saturday of the month, you know what that means, right?

A FRESH NEW BLUE DEODORIZER IN MY STUDIO TOILET

Am I excited? You bet!

Romonobyl

Studio toilet? Does that mean it folds out into a bed or what?

From what I’ve read on the internet, the My Little Pony movie seems to be doing okay. Its not a smash hit, but its not being laughed out of theatres.

Critics either hate it or average it because its not an artsy movie. Fans of the show loves it. Non fans are either in the “that was good”, “I want those 99 minutes of my live back, damn it!”, and “its okay but its harmless” camps.

I haven’t watched it, but only because I don’t want to be the only grown man in a room of little girls and their parents. One lesson I’ve learned from being bullied in school: “When in doubt, don’t stand out.”

But from what I’ve read on TV Tropes, I will definitely rent it On Demand and buy the DVD.

(flash forward to the Open Thread to Super Bowl LXV)

“You plan didn’t work, Hippo. I was convicted under the rarely used of “He’s probably there to do something so lets convict him anyway” rule.”

Romonobyl

That’s why I tend to ignore movie reviews. If it’s your groove, go enjoy, otherwise leave it alone. Not every movie has to be the next Schindler’s List.

About bloody time.

Air Force hasn’t been bad for the last 15 years, and Army actually beat Navy last year.

Shogun Marcus

By that rationale, the Coast Guard should be able to destroy Bama.

Safety dance in CH. Hehehehehe.

Yellow Jackets suck and cause owies, but you can at least kill them. My impromptu flock of fruit flies have expanded beyond the kitchen and have decided to attempt gentrification of the family room. The final straw was last evening when they converted The Dame’s glass of Merlot into a community swimming pool, thus crossing a serious line with her.
I’ve sprayed enough shit around to take ten years off my life and we haven’t seen the cat since, but the little fuckers won’t go away. I’ve lived in this house over 20 years and have never had this problem. Not sure if I should love it or list it.

Romonobyl

I little. They seem to really dig the wine, might try that next.

RUT ROH. ISU just stopped Boomer Sooner on fourth down! 1:15 left, OU with no timeouts left.

Looks like another year without a Big 12 team in the Playoff.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Enemy of my enemy…..etc etc.

Unsurprised

It’s never okay to be for Notre Dame.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Today it is.

ISU goes up on Boomer Sooner, but, there’s probably too much time left.
