So, I’m guessing Black Friday & Cyber Monday really brings out the Russian bots. I’ve deleted over 150 in the last three days. Most are easy to spot – the spoofed names end with “-pycle”, or have emails ending in “.ru” – but there’s always a few that you want to let sneak by, because their names are so ridiculous. #protectthebrand
So, it’s been quite the day of college football. I was torn all morning: I want Ohio State to lose, but it’s funny when bad things happen to Jim Harbaugh. I almost got both wishes. Also, I wish they’d put the Iron Bowl on at night, but I understand that most ‘Bama fans have to get home before 8:00 to avoid breaking their curfews so it makes sense.
Don’t forget – there’s a full day of football tomorrow. Pace yourselves tonight. For example, I plan on apple cider for the Apple Cup.

God, these all look awful. Just think, if it all goes the right way, somehow the Seahawks lead the NFC West by the end of the night. Those fuckers are just aching to have me buy playoff tickets.

Scotchy’s got you in the AM for the early games. SOMEBODY SEND HIM SOME BOOZE!
I was listening to the War Nerd Radio episode on the Russian civil war (post-October Revolution) and one of the factions had a policy of releasing enlisted POWs but executing all of the officers, except for some whose men begged for their commanders’ lives.
It’s a fucking tragedy that the Union didn’t pursue this policy during our Civil War.
I find John Dolan’s writing and politics to be extremely taxing at times. Especially his twitter feed, he will make very questionable leaps of logic to satisfy the argument that “US=Bad/Russia=Good” whereas I think a more appropriate view would be both are fucking bad at times.
I found “Pleasant Hell” to be just absolutely miserable. That said, I will love him forever for being the first person to spot the hilarious badness that was “A Million Little Pieces”.
I still cannot fathom how that jackass got Oprah to believe his autobiography.
In other news: The Bears signed a 7-year agreement with Dr. Pepper to be the drink at Soldier’s Field; the cola option is RC and Diet Rite.
They still make Diet Rite?
There’s a couple of oddball establishments round here that have it as the cola.
Royal Crown Cola is da best.
I miss Buff Joe’s
My mom used to like Tab, ‘course she added a bit of Canadian Comfort to make it palatable.
What about Mr. Pibb, the poor man’s Dr Pepper?
I have a soft spot for RC, which I do not understand because every time I get it it’s terrible.
But still better than Pepsi.
Reason #1,004,380 never to attend a pro game.
when u think about it shouldn’t all three of Bama, Auburn, and Jawja be in the playoffs??
Seems legit.
(not being jokey)
Just add Clemson.
/feels dirty now
naw, Boomer Sooner can represent the Yankees
I’d prefer that, but barring a loss next week, Tiggs ain’t getting bumped.
No. Fuck the South.
Dammit Grant, get back in yo’ tomb.
SHERMAN WAS A PUSSY!
Stonewall or G(it)TFO
Wisconsin is certainly making their argument the way they curb stomped Janice County Beauty and Technical Correspondence University today…
Like how Bama did to upstairs weekend dental assistant school last week?
Correct me if I am wrong, Wisconsin has only had two opponents with a winning record…
Bama’s out of conference schedule is a joke, but let’s be real here, Wisconsin’s schedule both in and out of conference is weak sauce.
You can’t control your conference being good or not. You do control your non’s. But you do it years in advance. Like BYU was supposed to be better as they were good at the time. You also control the when. Putting in a late “bye” is beyond weak.
Damit Luke Falk throws an INT……
YES YES NO
Probably, definitely, turn off the lights.
Turn off the lights for all three, best if I stay invisible.
/looks in mirror
Romonobyl do be teh smrtest amongst us.
I only act stoopid.
I have to agree here. I do think the third one is attractive but something about that look suggests you’re gonna lose a rabbit pretty soon afterwards.
Anal, anal, anal.
Wazzu’s QB has a real candyass arm.
Hehehe…suck it Dabo.
I did NOT see this but wholly endorse the sentiment
He got an unsportsmanliek flag.
Jesus didn’t save him from it.
They still kicking the Cocks into the ground tho.
Sigh.
where’s your GOD NOW???!!
Apparently in the South Carolina student section, throwing bottles at Clemson players.
Hell, if that’s true I might actually go to church again.
sounds liek Him ,, smh
Whoooo Punters!!!
the best part of FOOTBAW ,, ppl forget that
/also they gets all the trim OBVS
This is another reminder of how much my birthday is going to suck.
well, Mister Man, I was sure my birthday was gonna suck….and then it did.
Hehehe.
It is not coincidence that this will be the 2nd year running I’ll be in Vegas foar mine.
When is?
(yo bday that is)
Next week
Me too!!!!
Well, technically barely into the week after.
http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/2d/2dd1d3efe67b006d4d46b3a86693fd0ca27c9b431b42fdc761bcee9ce7d515dd.jpg
Your birthday is going to suck because Emily Rajhoweveryouspellit is going to be wiggling around in a bathing suit on an 80 degree day in the tropics?
That’s, um, interesting.
Meanwhile I’m going to be rained on all day in Portland.
Got it.
For an extra $50, someone else can do the sucking on your birthday
/has no idea what the going rate is
$50 can probably buy a lot of meth here.
the weekend is finally ending. FUCK!!!!!
why did I only bet $55 on the under in this ND/Stanford contest??
That’s why
oh YEAH! scores can happen fastly
Heehee, Camera Harding-ghazi-gate begins!
Yea I dont get these big fancy TV commercials. I would totally rather have an LCD projector……
The makers of these big fancy TV’s would rather you don’t.
Also, considering a 55″ Ultra4K is now hovering in the $300 to $400 range depending….they have a point.
Its fucking unreal how insanely cheap TV’s have gotten.
Indeed. I’m regretting my purchase of a new one only a month or so ago. It’s dropped $30 since then.
Im looking at getting a 50″ 4K HDR. What did you get if you dont mind me asking?
The one I just got is actually a Hisense 43″ 4kUltra. (the room my Vizio 55″ was in was too small for it, so moved that one to a diff room). They have bigger sizes tho…giggity.
Walmart. The nation’s employer…apparently.
Great picture tho, and much prefer how it works than the piece o’ shit Vizio.
Maybe Ill take the Vizio off the list then. My setup cant really support a 55″ but a 50″ will do nicely in the space I have
This particular Vizio….great picture. But the firmware has been fucked from the beginning. It randomly does things on its own. Like turn itself on and off, or forget how to adjust resolutions from channel to channel.
Never have figured out why. Firmware updates no fixxy.
MAGA!
/Make Asia Great Again, by buying their insanely cheap electronic products.
//don’t mind if I do
Honestly bothers me not at all. If we’re not smrt enough to compete, so be it.
WOO, betting the under and cheering punts!!
So sue me, I bet Condi would be pretty cool to watch football and drink beer with.
Sheeeesh, you’ll bet on anything these days.
Also, I agree.
Given that she had been considered for Commish ahead of the Rog, I think that alternate timeline would’ve been better.
We also may not have gotten stuck with Tillerson at State
You almost couldn’t help but have two improvements there…
“Every time 4 o’clock is close enough to 5…” you’re one step closer to full blown alcoholism. Now get back to work, rummy!
I’m not sure if ‘Man v. Food’ is why every country hates America, but it certainly should be why every country hates America.
Didnt the first host quit because the show was literally killing him?
God willing
Yes. He never admitted how much he gained but he was apparently well past 300 when he left.
At least he got paid to blow up to that size. I did it for free.
What used to amaze me about that show, the few times I saw it, was that the food never really looked appealing, even if it was served in lethal quantities.
Restaurant Owner: “Our challenge is for you to eat 17 wings dipped in the sauce made of the blood of unborn dragons and ghost-chili pepper. You have 4 minutes and cannot drink anything for two days afterwards. if you do it you get a T-shirt and your name on our bathroom wall.”
Me: “Fuck you”
Oh yeah, home movies. Do you have anything stronger in the bar?
I just ate an entire pizza. I made a huge mistake.
puke it up, make room for MOAR mistakes!!
Drink some water first tho. Puking dry-ish pizza is not fun.
I miss college.
Because you didn’t order a second one for later?
Fucking rookies.
Pretty much, yeah.
shitting their dick again, Washington State.
Miami thanks you for the distraction attempt, though nobody really pays mind to non-LA sides West of the muddy river…
Don’t the parents of this no-snow-temper-tantrum-having little twat realize that driving her to an expensive resort in the mountains so she can see some white stuff for Xmas is just going to lead to her becoming another insufferable rich kid using a different kind of white stuff until she blows all her money and winds up on the street blowing hobos for meth money?
I don’t know which is funnier: them knowing and setting up their shitty kid to be a terrible person, or them being surprised ten years from now.
Lets go Cougs! They got a number…..
yeah, bitch!! Not in mah cracker state!!
This all makes sense other than…
WTF is up northern New England? Hannaford Supermarkets?
You don’t gotz no walmarts AND no edumacations????
Maine is a universe unto itself, my friend.
Ayuh!!!!!
Stay on the coast from Portland on down and you’ll be fine.
Somewhere, you’ve made Stephen King shed a tear.
And he’s already written a book about it.
This is a very fair point. Portland is an excellent city. But keep going north and you’ll run into the kind of people who’ll fuck a tree.
https://www.amazon.com/Beans-Egypt-Maine-Carolyn-Chute/dp/0802143598
(incidentally that is a really good book, even if you’re not into tree-fucking)
Kennebunk/Kennebunkport, and Old Orchard Beach are good spots too. Other than that, I’ll pass on the tree people.
They’re mainly in New Hampshire. It’s the south of the north. NASCAR, Walmarts, mullets, cammo 30 racks of natty light…
Universities shouldn’t count. Theys basically state employees. I mean if the governor has a say in your budget and income (tuition freezes and such), yous state.
Every Walmart state should be vaporized. Unfortunately, we’d still be stuck with North Carolina, Utah, and New England, but it’s a good start.
I ate and drank like a hog the last two days so I said I was going to go light for the next few and tonight my wife made a macaroni & cheese with bacon and leeks and holy shit I am going to die by 11 pm (EST) of cardiac arrest.
I say this finally gives us a realistic shot at an all-ESSS-EEEE-SEEEE final, what say YEEEEWWWWW??
WELL PAAWWLL, IT ONLY SEEMS FAIR AND DECENT
Fuck and No. Nonononononononononononononono. Fuck.
Brady Quinn? As an announcer? Ok……
You sure that’s not Martha Quinn?
You sure you’re not watching ‘Best In Show’?
I also missed the very end of the Iron Bowl, btw.
Did Saban eat any children?
only the ones Roy Moore ain’t fuck…
Tough state to be a kid.
well don’t be born their then snowflaek
Hehehe…this made me chortle with way too much volume.
It’s like the hunger games, but with mental and physical penetration.
Let’s go gigantic trees called Cardinal for some reason, kick some Irish hiney please.
Their Welcome to Stanford driveway is lined by palm trees, not pine trees. But pine trees are their mascot. Whodafuk knows.
Havard of the West,,, ppl forget that
Got away from the GF. Now hanging with my friend a big USC Trojans guy so I be drinkin and watchin this Apple Cup.
He pulling for U-Dub so they get the Trees next Friday?
Yea.
as a neutral, I really want to see Madman Leach take another swing at the Troi Boiz for all the marbles. So. Much. Fun.
I watched The Purge: Election Year on Thursday. It was way better than it had any right to be, but the best part was my (black) friend’s running commentary about how Frank Grillo keeps questioning the B-characters’ integrity (two black, one Mexican) even after the black guy and the Mexican guy just murk twelve motherfuckers to save Grillo and his boss’s lives and then several times subsequent. What I mean to say is that privileged white people are pains in the ass even in utter anarchy.
Can our donors bring in Robert Mueller to shitcan RichRod? We can call it a warmup.
@Hippo…no lie…
I was so disgusted I turned it off. Haven’t watched the end yet.
I’ve never been so less happy to have both a win and $$$$$.
Sadly, this probably buys Doeren two more years.
last 20 seconds or so, got a pickerception that the Hole lineman thankfully didn’t give up on running down, or that would have been a REALLY bad beat.
I turned it off when DD tried to pull a Richt with McClendon.
I didn’t even notice, there were gaps when I watched the Iron Bowl more.
Christ, he’s stupid.
I’ll watch the rest later, but boy that pissed me off.
Glad we won, glad they covered. Sorry DD is ours.
who amongst you would really say no to a bath with Mike Leach??
Fucking Cocks…always fucking me over…
Is DFO poker still a thing?
Not lately, but I think that’s more a function of us always being worn out from watching so much shitty football.
I expect things may pick up again in the offseason.
I played a tournament last night for the first time in a long time. I sort of forgot about it.
like that phase of watching poker on the teevee box, it came and it went with blazing speed
Oh shit, Todd Graham started his post game interview by thanking God.
Graham gets busted diddlying a 16 years old camp counselor in 3…2…
More football! Yea!
Wanna break your pugs brain?
1) Tell Google home to play a lullaby.
2) A bit in on 1, tell Alexa to do the same.
The head swiveling would break linda blair.
Insert-Cajun-Name-Kicker is always so good for LSU
I feel like there’s an obvious joke here I’m missing.
Oh, can I complain about how terrible college sports are over here now?
Don ‘t taze me, bro.
WAR DAMN EAGLE
tonite we are all imo godbless
also, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Fuck Carolina, no matter how shitty we play, it can’t be shitty enough to lose to you.
It was the War of Northern Aggression ,, ppl forget that!!111
THAT WEST VIRGINIA DEFENSE I CALL IT ‘THE CUMBERLAND,’ BECAUSE IT HAD SO MANY GAPS LEADING WEST TO OKLAHOMA!!!
(yeah, it’s late, but I was watching at the gym and just got back)
My prayers to Beelzebub worked. Get fucked Alabama.
Now if only South Carolina can beat Clemson the college play-offs will be in complete chaos and Phase One of my plan for world domination can commence!
I can’t decide whether to offer further sacrifice to GAMBLOR on that one or not.
What’s the spread? I don’t see Clemson losing but SC might make it a little closer than it should be.
13.5
Gun to my head, Clemson. However the phrase “gun to my head” is also why I don’t bet on sports.
Didi mao! Didi mao!
I think my niche is gonna be small bets moneyline on upsets. I can break even-ish doing that. Trying to maths out the spreads is too frustrating.
