Thanksgiving Hippo Thoughts (and Mini-JV Friday Preview)

Spending holiday time alone is fucking great.  Even if the footy action is a wet fart in a paper bag that has seen better days.

Our erstwhile Fuck Lions started things off, and oh my, they did not have the Turkey Day performance boost they usually have.  Only a series of fortunate events kept them within striking distance late, and they did absolutely nothing with the chances given them.  30-23, bupkus.  The Case Keenum express rolls on.

Surely the Cowboys would rekindle memories of holiday magic?  Uh, fuck and no.  Only the lack of a placekicker kept this from being a complete laugher, as King Laserface slung passes around JerralWorld like they was sperm or sommet.  Eventually, DAK! kinda just melted down and short-circuited.  It was…not easy to watch, that Q4.  6-28.

Somehow, the closest fixture was the least watchable, as Captain Dingleberry and Elisha battled from their respective pillow forts.  C.D. accounted for all three touched down passes (2 for his’n, 1 for they’s’n) and a garbage time FG helped the ‘Dacteds undeservedly beat the spread, even.  Christ, what a game.  I swear, I don’t remember Los Gigantes having the ball at all until the final 3 and a half minutes.

Let’s hope Friday’s JV slate will be an improvement.  Spoiler alert – shit in one hand, hope in the other, see which gets full first.

Miami at Pitt (Noon, ABC)

See, if Pitt were only 5-6 and had apricot bowl qualification to play for, one could have a gambling angle here.  Alas, it’s all about whether Da U will shit all over its dick.  Which it very well might.

Baylor at TCU (Noon, FS1)

All Bloodeyes has to do to make the inaugural Big 12-ish title game is beat sad little rapey BayBay at home.  But what if they don’t wanna play Boomer Sooner again?  What if they try to throw a game to a team that isn’t capable of winning it?

Missouri at Arkansas (2:30, CBS)

Again, this would be cooler if both sides were 5-6 and fighting for bowl eligibility…but Mizzou won last week and Pig Sooey didn’t, so…who the fuck knows.  It’s just a thing on teevee.

South Florida at Central Florida (3:30, ABC)

If the Bulls win, at least we won’t have to hear some dumbass (likely on FS1) go hurr durr, they beat everybody on they schedule!!111.  Who gives a shit, really.  That will be apparent in the attendance, despite a 9-1 side facing a 10-0 one.

Iowa at Nebraska (4:00, FS1)

Hey, come watch some fucker (Mike Riley) get fired!!

Virginia Tech at Virginia (8:00, ESPN)

This will either be a great game, or VPI will win by 30.

Texas Tech at Texas (8:00, Fox)

Isn’t it annoying when all the reasonably watchable games get bunched up together like this?  Anyway, I got the Red Raiders at +10.5 and feel good about it.

Cal at UCLA (10:30, FS1)

This game had better show a lot of leg if it wants me to stay up until 2 am and see who makes it to 6-6.

Well that was a lot of fun. Time to add beer, remove pants, and fire up the chainsaw. Maybe even in that order.

Now Hippo….. WTF did Richt do?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hehehehehe.
Sooooo..daU not back so much again then?

That’s bad for the sprockets.
Probably not good for the camera, either.

scotchnaut

Lovely fakey-fake by UCF.

herodotus450

Directional-Florida QB Quinton Flowers is hoping that if he wins, the Lord of Florida will legitimize him so he might be able to inherit lands from his father.

scotchnaut

I’m not sure where you’re headed with this but I’m along for the ride.

Senor Weaselo

Or considering Pitt, he’d get promoted to Quadron Flowers?

herodotus450

Maybe one day his face will be on our coins; the Quadron Doubloon they could call it.

Senor Weaselo

And now it’s chippy in Florida!

scotchnaut

I’ve got the NC St./Tenn. tilt on the tube. Weird.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, I regret having watched any of Wed night. I’m firmly back in camp “Boycott” fwiw.

I should always know, don’t go against teh Hippo.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Ha ha U no perfect record no mo’, U.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

This is a weird fucking Friday

herodotus450

I’m watching A ham… But it keeps slowly disappearing.

herodotus450

Proof that life is not real and this is just some forgotten simulation:
Pitt has both a Qadree Ollison and a Quadree Henderson on their team. YOU DUN FORGOT THE ‘U’!

herodotus450

Figured it out:
One is the fourth son of Olli, the other is the fourth son of Hender.

scotchnaut

Speedy McWhiterson with the Pitt TD!

Senor Weaselo

That narrows it down… almost none.

Senor Weaselo

Not taking the FG for the bootleg for 6? Game blouses.

Senor Weaselo

No, THAT’S dagger.

Senor Weaselo
Senor Weaselo

Well, that didn’t work.

ballsofsteelandfury

If Da U can score on this drive, the game gets interesting…

ballsofsteelandfury

More ded eyes than a whorehouse

Senor Weaselo

Interesting…

Senor Weaselo

That’s impressive.

Senor Weaselo

Crucial punt, and Feagleson has not had a good punt all game. (It is Feagles’s son, right?)

So my friend sent me Rick and Morty socks and the Total Rickall game. I thought she was sending me a wedding invitation.

Positive: Pants on and I’m ready to go.
Negative: I’ve just been informed that the ladies wish to go with (sigh). And won’t be ready to go for awhile (even bigger sigh).

Today might be the day I gas Dave up and drive east until I hit water.

Senor Weaselo

Black Friday surfing?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Dave might be a lot of things, but buoyant ain’t one of ’em.

At least that’s what I’m counting on.

Senor Weaselo

The Tundra is a bigger/petroleum version of the Hilux and old Top Gear proved what that can survive, ppl forget that.

Shogun Marcus

I forget what finally killed it, except it was Jeremy.

The dick-shitting isn’t in full force, but it exists.

I wouldn’t touch that game with YOUR money.

Please do not mix burritos from Senior Ted’s and anal sex, people.

Shogun Marcus

I think that was in my wedding vows.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Now, now. While I very much like all three of these you’ve mentioned, let’s not go getting all crazy and junk with labels like “best”. At least not until later when I’m drunk….

theeWeeBabySeamus

Well, shit. I guess I should go put some pants on before heading to the Xmas tree lot.
Fool me once….

Later taters.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Spoken like someone who’s never seen me naked.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fine, you have a point.
Fortunately, I’m visibly insane even with pants.
Plus it’s cold out soooooo….I don’t need nobody seeing that.

(I WAS IN THE POOL!!!!)

herodotus450

Are Clemson and Miami already in the ACC Champ game?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup

herodotus450

Welp, guess I won’t even bother turning the Mia game on then.

I get the all powerful joy of going to work today. Probably a short day but still.

rockingdog

It was the day after Thanksgiving
and all through the house
not a pair of pants were fitting
and neither a blouse

Doktor Zymm

At least we get bonus Hippo Thoughts!
I watched 5 minutes of TV the other day where some annoying peoples were debating whether the Cowboys gave up at the end of the Eagles game last week. Sounds like they will have more to talk about this week. Poor Dak, he is living life in Romo’s shoes. At least he hasn’t cracked any ribs yet!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m going to miss at least some of the early shift of games today. I had forgotten that sometime in the past few days I had agreed to go buy a Christmas tree today. I suspect I was drunk at the time.

Holidays suck.

Viva La Tabula Raza

But it’s just 8 different styles of dreidls, so no big deal.

Doktor Zymm

I’m just gonna unpack the box labelled ‘X-mas’ stuff, there be two tiny fake trees in there

theeWeeBabySeamus

Well just rub it in, why don’t ya?????

By the end of the weekend, I fully expect this place to look like a retarded band of elves on crack showed up. But the niece and the mom like it that way, so if it keeps them off my ass for the next month, it’s worth a little pain now (both figurative and literal).

Game Time Decision

i’ve successfully outsourced most of the Christmas decorating to my kids. They did it all, other than me bringing up the boxes of all the stuff and setting up the tree itself ( it’s fake and in parts).
Will be it idiot on the roof in the next few days getting the lights put up outside.
