Yes, our long winter of discontent beckons. Blech.
We jump straight into the 10:00 window, there being no early match. Which kind of sucks. Anyway, NBCSN brings you Man U hosting the surprisingly competent, 9th position Seagulls of Brighton & Hove. CNBC has alternate viewing, in the form of Spurs hosting dire West Brom. Barcodes v. Moose Hornets on NBC Gold is a much better bet.
5th position Redshite host resurgent 3rd place Chelsea in the 12:30 big NBC spotlight dance, which for once lives up to its moniker. I will at least stream it, since the local Raleigh, NC network affiliate is showing Boston College/Syracuse JV action instead. Sad!
Sunday brings us three fairly intriguing fixtures, with the 8:30 opener – Everton’s visit to St. Mary’s (Soton) only available on NBC Gold. Both these sides (16th and 14th) are on poor form, and in need of answers. Anyway, I shall be watching and hoping…and still waiting for a permanent manager.
As for matches normal humans might watch, 6th position Arsenal visit 7th place Burnley (9:00, CNBC), followed by runaway freight train Man City’s visit to #10 Huddersfield Town (11:00, NBCSN). One expects the visitor “name side” to hold serve, but each match could be more difficult sledding than the untrained eye might expect.
On to the full, bountiful JV slate!
Georgia at Georgia Tech (Noon, ABC)
There Will Be Rushing Attempts.
Ohio State at Michigan (Noon, Fox)
/imagine picture of lukewarm pool of jism
Florida State at Florida (Noon, ESPN)
Fun Fact! Both these sides are 4-6, and both have re-scheduled patsy games next week, while real teams play for conference supremacy. One of them will get bowl qualification out of said sad exercise. The other…just MOAR realization of just how deep the hole is.
Indiana at Purdue (Noon, ESPN2)
Two 5-6 teams that hate each other. Yes, please!!
Alabama at Auburn (3:30, CBS)
Match of the Day. DUH. Winner takes all, and yes, I believe War Damn Eagle gets into the playoffs if it wins out. I also believe Roll Damn Tide gets in at 11-1 with a loss here or to UGA. Spoiler alert – I don’t believe either hypothetical loss happens, leaving Bama the only SEC PAAAAAWWWWWLLLL!!! representative.
Iowa State at Kansas State (3:30, ESPN2)
The Undead Bill Snyders will probably lose here, just to make BDSM State folk even angrier. Cyclones remain one of the year’s better stories.
West By God Virginia at Oklahoma (3:45, ESPN)
I don’t wanna say “trap game” but….FUCKING TRAP GAME.
Vanderbilt at Tennessee (4:00, SECN)
Oh, the humiliation of it. To be 0-7 in SEC play, and face similarly 0-7 Vandy…at home, on the last day of the season, each with nothing to play for. Could easily be the lowest single point of Volunteer sports history. I will watch more of this than I care to admit, because I’m really fucking weird.
Clemson at South Carolina (7:30, ESPN)
There are usually fights in this one, more than sufficient reason to tune in. Rednecks at night, y’all.
Texas A&M at LSU (7:45, ESPN2)
I wish I attended a university where a football coach could enter the season finale a ded man walking at fucking 7-4 in the toughest division of the toughest conference in JV NFL.
Notre Dame at Stanford (8:00, ABC)
Hey, everybody, it’s the one time a year I pull for boring-ass Stanford.
Washington State at Washington (8:00, Fox)
Apple Cup, y’all! Neat name, neat rivalry. Wazzu has already beaten the Troi Boiz once, so they really need this win as a major step forward for their program. Huskies can only play spoiler in favour of the Trees.
Colorado at Utah (10:00, FS1)
Not a great tweaker match-up, but at least it’s 5-6 v. 5-6, and Team Secular Big Love always gives a good effort.
Huh. Just imagine if Ohio State lost.

IS DFO Poker still a thing?
You know what?
Shut down the NCAA.
Arizona fans experiencing in just how bad of shape Ann Weaver Hart left that institution. It’s a decade rebuild for that school to, hopefully, return to where it was. The school is about 6 months into that rebuild. It’s going be a rough ten years.
Me: Alexa, order take out
Alexa: Again?
Me: DON’T YOU DARE JUDGE ME YOU FUCKIN HOCKEY PUCK!
The plays in this Arizona/ASU game are fucking nuts.
In other news: Scientists had to delete Urban Dictionary’s data from the memory of IBM’s Watson, because it was learning to swear in its answers.
Gettin ready…..
That Hole OL saved me a fuckton of money with that tackle LMAO
role dam tied
wore dam angel
Of COURSE you won’t find toilet paper within 15 miles! Worry about the supply of leaves and corncobs! Tumor corner, how apt.
We should have a live look-in at Toomers Corner. Yea Auburn!
Party!!!!!
So who plays against USC if Stanford looses?
Stanford done with conference games. Wazzu if they win, Stanford otherwise.
Is Wazzu…….Washington St. or Washington?
State
Found it: No. 13 Washington State (9-2) at No. 17 Washington (9-2): If WSU wins the Apple Cup, the Cougs will play USC in the Pac-12 Championship. If UW wins, Stanford wins the North.
Yuuugee game in the Washington networks
The band.
I’m glad you idiots aren’t on the committee either. You fucks would snap your spines bending over for bama. Shitty Announcing.
4TH AND 22? JV NFL BLITZ!
WOW, Unded Bill Snyders strike again!
Sparky TD! Comeback is looking good.
Tate is hurt. ASU wins.
I would enjoy Bama not being in the playoffs immensely.
Auburn looks like they gonna do it!
I’d still leave tOSU or the ACC champion out instead. Wiscy deserves it if they win out.
FIRST DOWN WOO!!!
wheeeee, bailout late hit. Stupid illiterate Tarholes
Dilly dilly!
33 or 35-21 would be JUST RIGHT
Auburn’s RB just broke his ankle.
as gross as the Cowbells QB?
Wait did they just loose their 2nd string RB?
They’re down to the fourth-string now.
oh God, a WHITE boy??
Who would still start at 50% of div 1 schools.
Good news, the cover now looks safe, bad news State could still fuck up and lose outright (I don’t want THAT part of the bet coming good)
Oh no. Auburns top running back looks hurt.
Yooooo Auburn defense is good
Is Alabama Schadenfreude Day on the same level as Patriots Schadenfreude Day?
Nope
Not even close.
But still splendid.
Not really, no cause they can still get bailed out by the selection committee.
Fuck them, but not quite as hard as New England, and Duke basketball.
What’s the food and drink of choice for Alabama Schadenfreude Day?
…and start the excuse making for Alabama still making it to the Playoffs despite shitting the bed.
What in the fuck is this? How do you review a no flag thrown?!
Too Many Men is reviewable.
The Charlie Sheen rule
I thought that was when they give the kicking team extra time to clear the excess snow from the field.
Nice tie-in.
Then every play should be reviewed for holding, and then they’ll never finish a game.
That’s not what she said.
Okay, I’ve been offline for about two hours so I trust that…WHAT THE BLEERGH?!
What the hell happened to Alabama?!
They morphed into the Bengals so slowly, we didn’t notice.
Who substituted the Browns for Bama?
“Iron Bowl” sounds like a code word the judges on Iron Chef use when the mystery ingredient is going to be Chipotle.
Alternate joke: They’re gonna need a bigger Iron Bowl to contain the gargantuan shit that Alabama took on that last play.
“Chef Miguel, you have brought shame on your family for generations to come with this e. coli-ridden fajita burrito bowl. Take this katana and go, do the right thing. You are banished from Kitchen Stadium.”
“So…you’re finished with that?”
– Andy Reid, gesturing towards the unfinished burrito bowl.
Fuck yeah my friday
If Alabama’s name was “Wisconsin” instead, would they even be ranked?
Nope. Especially after that bye-week bullshit last week.
But Mercer is a TOUGH Div-1AA opponent. The toughest. And what is is bama supposed to do? Play a real team?
Auburn pleases me. It will do nothing to aid my jv squad, but angry saban is my favorite as he should always be sad.
Auburn making moves.
For Ratings sake you can’t have two sec teams in the playoff, right? Otherwise I’ll have to start rooting for Alabama apparently…
WVU scores! 45-17 Boomer Sooner. THE RALLY BEGINS
Ron Howard: It wasn’t.
Great week last week, a big bag of hot garbage gambling this week.
Back. Oh shit this Iron Bowl is good…
Manny Wilkins INT as ASU tries to drive before the half.
UA up 24-14.
Add a 15 yard unsportsman like. Few plays later and it’s 3rd and 2 on ASU 46 with 14 secs left.
I am glad I am not able to get that game. I would be very angry.
Want the feed url?
found one for the second half. uggh
Interesting…
State had 1st and goal, ended up missing a FG. Q4 will be with booze on top of the pill I just took
That ball hit the turf. No touchdown.
nice try for the volleyball set, though
nope, just almost
No fucking way.
