Blech, the Turkey Day schedule Gods are much kinder.
At least one can wake up to the Premiership again, and to a classic North London Derby, 3rd position Spurs v. 6th position Arsenal (7:30, NBCSN). 4 points separate the sides in the table, and the Gooners look capable of getting back into the top 4 conversation of late. Herein lies a nice test of that Lesser Footy hypothesis.
Leicester and runaway freight train Man City are the featured 10:00 window match (NBCSN), with everything else on NBC Gold. The best of those being Liverpool/Soton, but I will trudge through all grim 90 minutes of Palace/Everton. No, we still don’t have a bloody permanent manager. Yes, it does look like Watford’s Marco Silva wants to jump ship for some reason and join our merry band.
United host the Barcodes for big NBC’s 12:30 spotlight dance, and we can all root for England’s version of the Unabomber.
Only one lousy Sunday match, 9th position Watford v. 18th position West Ham (under new manager David Fucking Moyes). I am actually betting on Moyes here (+275 to win outright!) given that the Moose Hornets have to be unsettled with all the rumours swirling around their manager. They are a bit loose at the back anyway, which is what Moyes is good at exploiting. Your Hippo tip o’ the week.
Virginia at Miami (Noon, ABC)
How do you spell “trap game?” No, nobody asked you, U*NC. Though maybe it’s high time I quit being so Cane-skeptical (I did bet $100 on them +7 v. the Tiggers in the Title match).
Michigan at Wisconsin (Noon, Fox)
Both these teams play ugly and hurt my very soul.
TCU at Texas Tech (Noon, FS1)
Much more watchable, and Bloodeyes could either be super-pissed, or emotionally spent after their Boomer Sooner disappoint.
Kentucky at Georgia (3:30, CBS)
Did you know UK is 7-3? NO SHIT! Speaking of shit and UK…expect theirs to get pushed in by a pack of angry Dawgs.
Kansas State at Oklahoma State (3:30, ESPN2)
Oh, I could TOTES see Undead Bill Snyder pulling this one off, even as a 19.5 point road dog. Couldn’t you?
Arizona at Oregon (7:00, PAC12)
I’m not sure any defensing will be allowed in this here match, and the last O/U I saw was 70. That’s madness, yo.
Texas A&M at Ole Miss (7:00, ESPN)
Told ya…slim pickins this weekend. Think the Aggies show up for this one and take Johnny Reb to school (and he ain’t like that place).
UCLA at USC (8:00, ABC)
Uh…watch two Top 10 NFL Draft pick QBs play, surrounded by oceans of merde?
Cal at Stanford (8:00, Fox)
Enjoyable historical rivalry, and can expect the Trees to play down to their competition coming off the big upset win over Washington.
Utah at Washington (10:30, ESPN)
Perhaps Team Secular Big Love can keep it close for awhile, and give us something for our tweakers and Best Coasters. Meh, what an underwhelming day.
I need food. Or else I need to stop drankin’.
Imma go look for some food. See ya’s in a bit.
of course the Devils missed the extra point because even on a good GAMBLOR day, God likes to fuck with me a little…
You’re on the list.
Whaddya expect?
/also on the list
//fuck that guy
oh, sweet play, Dukies
/necessary reminder/disclaimer that Duke FOOTBAW ain’t evil
They have managed keeping people from pressing charges or civil litigation!
Anyone see Justice League? Is it as bad as it looks, the worst of Snyder and Whedon with no oversight or budget?
I’ve not seen it. Honestly, looking at the commercials for it, I have no fucking idea who the audience is suppose to be.
I fully admit I am burned out by Super Hero movies and I want them to just stop making them, but I can at least see what people like about Marvel films. Even if they are schlock, they still tend to be somewhat entertaining.
I can’t think of a single DC film I have enjoyed in the last 15 years. They keep turning everything into angry, dark Batman for some fucking reason.
Well angry dark Batman grossed a billion dollars, so that’s why.
But I hate Snyder’s take on these characters, particularly Superman.
I get that dark Batman made an insane amount of money.
I don’t get the fucking attempt at making dark every fucking other thing. It doesn’t work.
Agreed. It was a horrible choice for Superman in particular.
Snyder is no good with original content. And when he has source material, he’s too dependent (300, watchmen).
Bottom line, he’s just not good. He should actually read a comic book.
What’s great is that he did read the Watchmen but totally misunderstood it.
And 300 was a weird homoerotic mess.
Well Frank Miller clearly has mental dilemmas he’s fighting. Most of his later work has shown this. Yes, I agree Snyder looked at watchmen, the shots reflect it. But read it? Nope.
Other than casting (I felt the actors looked way too young to be burned out, middle aged, former heroes), I actually thought that Watchmen was pretty decent considering that they were trying to do in a movie something that should have been done in a series.
I cannot stand how comic book fans think their favorite material transitions perfectly into cinema.
No argument there. There’s a good reason watchmen was always considered unfilmable.
SOAPBOX TIME!!!!
Look, guys. Yinz keep (rightly) complaining about all these shittily made superhero movies, but you go see them no matter how shit they are. Thus, there is no incentive for them to put the time, money, and effort into making same better.
Stop feeding the trolls.
When you’re down 4 scores at home to K-State’s 4th string QB, all of a sudden you just some weirdo asshole in a mullet.
Assuming Duke punches in this “red area” opportunity after the quarter break, everyone with ACCN access should regale in the joy that is Georgia Tech in “hurry up” mode.
Run faster?
they break out that little-used third passing play…
OK guys, get ready for the rush.

post-game interview w/ Bill Snyder: “I will swallow your soul!!”
The Big 12-ish is the best league in JV NFL because of the top to non-KU bottom quality, and the amount of absolute bananas, entropic shit that happens.
Tends to fuck them in a 4-team playoff, though.
There’s no justification for not having every conference champ in a playoff.
It was a pretty bitch move though by the Big 12 to get rid of their championship game because Oklahoma and Texas complained about having to play in one.
The whole “it hurts our chances to get into the Championship” really blew up in their faces.
they brought it back this season
I thought there was a rule (well “rule”) that you had to have 12 teams (and maybe two divisions) to even have a championship game, which was a big reason the Big 11 added Nebraska.
I think it was the fact the NCAA only allows a championship game for conferences with 12 teams unless they ask for a waiver. UT and OU balked at adding more teams and finally changed their mind.
What’s stupid is having a championship game with a full round-robin just invalidates the benefits of having everyone play everyone else.
Yup. They didn’t want to apply for the waiver and the two big dogs didn’t want any extra competition. The Big 12 had options.
Honestly, their big fuckup was not inviting Louisville before the ACC got them.
Hey Sailors!
It feels so late already.
Time to drink
I’m debating whether to go to a dive i like or just buy a bottle of wine and stay in.
BOX, natch.
These Dawgs need a good neutering.
On the other hand, the Cowboys from Stillwater apparently already have been.
This Oklahoma St. football team I call them Ted because they are getting fucked by Skylar on the ground AND in the air.

Back to the drawing board. Wyoming only put up 7 today. It is like they didn’t even exist.
they are ruining my PERFECT DAY
/this window I have two moneyline dogs. Duke (+205, ahead by 10) and K-State (+900, ahead by 22)

Bill Snyder is a sorcerer. There’s no other explanation.
as I say many times, what is undead can never die
twbs…I can’t help but notice that the one you went looking for is now suspended. Did you does a good?
I didn’t do it.
But it happened around that same time.

Illinois QB is named Chayce Crouch, but they should call him Chayce Prone by the end of this game.

OK twitter, you can stop sending me emails about Laura Keeley’s tweets anytime now.
Hippo I swear to god, why? She’s at Columbia Law now, not even in Durham. I never followed her to begin with. But now, she won’t keep her mouth shut, comments on everyone else’s stuff, and twitter seems to think I care.
I hate twitter.
I hate it but love it. Turn your notifications off.
I thought they were until I chased a certain former poster here around for a day or so.
You sillee sillee man.
He had it coming.
Fucking psycho.
I did run across Chrissy Tiegen tho.
She’s funny.
See? Funny.
I have no idea what you are talking about.

I believe said poster still posts on Deadspin and hooboy seeing some of his comments there is… wow.

You’d have been fine giving twice that.
Place Your Bets, Gentlemen-
2-1 Me being blackout drunk and sleeping it off
5-1 Me being sober enough to take the lasagna out of the oven one hour from now.
Is there a time limit on the 2-1 bet. Bcuz that’s eezy munny if not.
