JV Exhibitions 23 December Thread (3:00 EST UPDATE – Bonus Varsity Early “Action”)

Air thine grievances here, y’all.

Birmingham Bowl – Texas Tech v. South Florida (Noon, ESPN)

IIRC, this used to have Papa John attached to it, surely a relief to him not, now that the city done sent all them daaaahhhhkies to vote for Sen-elect Doug Muthafuckin’ Jones!!  No, I’m not tired of saying I told you there were enough good Southern folk to prevent Senator Paedo, even in Bama.  As for the match, the line is Bulls -1.5, and I have no action as I have no feel.  I wanted to, but cannot.

Military Industrial Complex Bowl A – Army v. San Diego State (3:30, ESPN)

I think Army got invited to this mofo the instant they hit 6 wins.  Get used to all 4 of those irritating USAA commercials in heavy rotation.  I put a wee bit of money on the Black Knights moneyline (+205, line is +6.5) as this is their designed exhibition, after all.  And they are used to defending the run.

Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens (4:30, NFLN)

The Ratbirds have morphed into the NFL’s flat-track bullies, as evidenced by their 2nd half curb stomping of #ThePauls last weekend.  One could argue that the Humps have the advantage of extra time to prepare, but the flip side of that is having lost in the Gravy Boat on TNF to fucking Brock…Brock…dun dun dun dun dun Brock Lobster!!  Ha ha, that’s just sad.  Enough time has passed that we can make fun of Coach Cancer for just being shitty at his job.  Which he really fucking is.

When You Think K-Mart Is Fer Snobs Bowl – Appy State v. Toledo (7:00, ESPN)

Not exactly saving your best for last, JV NFL.  Anyway, having bet against the Happy Appies before and lost big, I also put a medium bet on their money line ($75 at +205 line is also +6.5).  I know nothing about the MAC, really.  This gives me reason to watch if/when the late NFL fixture is horse excrement.

Christmas Suggestions

Very few things make me feel Christmas-y, here is one.  Depressing indie-folk singer songwriter Sufjan Stevens, who is also a left-wing hippie-ish Christian (a quasi-Methodist like Hippo) and his nearly 5-hour collection of Christmas songs.  Some original, some traditional with his own tweaks.  Ukelele, of course.  If you must go to a gathering, suggest this instead of the usual musical fare.

Reggie Wayne is still “Young Guy Who Replaced Marvin Harrison” in my mind. It’s insane to see those HoF numbers while he’s doing pregame commentary.

herodotus450

Just like Tory Holt is to Isaac Bruce

Fronkenshteen

Antonio Brown to Santonio Holmes?

herodotus450

Not sure AB has enough convictions to sufficiently take the mantle from Holmes though.

Fronkenshteen

He’s murdered at least 3 of my fantasy teams.

litre_cola

Rae Carruth tried to murder 2 people. People forget that.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That was pretty funny.

In our defense your Hippohighness, we were told the same thing about the Southern not electing Donald Trump last year and this year we didn’t have a president that banned all guns, forced every person to house an undocumented resident (formerly illegal immigrant), and put everyone’s name in a lottery to see who would get a multivitamin pills.

(I only read the Republican pamphlet on what Hillary Clinton would do as President, so my views may be slightly askew.)

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Pamphlet? That was also Fox “News” statement for iteration. Maybe they read it too.

Fronkenshteen

Look at that execution by Army. Putin will be proud to have these guys working for him.

yeah right

I would like to offer a preemptive strike to the annoying Packer backers who are planning evil things against Anthony Barr simply because he made a perfectly legal awesome sack against your asshole quarterback.

Stow it you bloated cheese dicks! If you want to be mad at someone be mad at your miserable GM for letting your free agents walk and for drafting like shit for the past 6 years. The team has invested everything around one fucking player and look what happens when he’s out.
News flash: the Vikings are on their THIRD qb and you won’t hear us bitching because they built up other things like the whole rest of the fucking team.

So shut your fucking hole by stuffing another brat in it you walking fucking coronary.

And merry Christmas.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Ouuuu! Panties in full bunch alert!

herodotus450

Announcer on Quinton in the first half: “He had no momentum.”
That must be why TTech was able to determine his position with full accuracy and tackle him.

Fronkenshteen

Jeebus! USF!

I’m amused that the “bottom falls completely out of bitcoin market” headlines were irrelevant before the ink had even dried, thanks to its absurd level of volatility.

herodotus450

I wonder what the Armed Forces Bowl thinks about the Dollar General going off to start his own bowl.

Buddy’s keyboard got too gummed up with pre-cum (read: he forgot to unplug his headphones and took his all in one monitor right down on his solar paneled keyboard, crushing one of the panels to bits) and will catch you shitbirds Monday night.

O/U is 65.5 here. Damn, they have these lines on the fucking nose.

Fronkenshteen

Jesus, this game!

Fronkenshteen

In the studio at the half, it sounded like Jesse Palmer had a few skinoots on the Over.

Mr. Ayo

OVER!

Update: I’m almost done with this What If book by Randall Munroe (former NASA scientist). Its really good!
I think it would be a cool addition as a college freshman physics textbook……..

Senor Weaselo

I need to get Thing Explainer, What If entertained me and I got it signed by him.

Steelers release James Harrison. Harrison reacts by throwing a boat right over a hedge.

“THAT was fucking close!”

It is tres weird not being at least a little drunky and commenting on here.

/may have to fix that

Mr. Ayo

Let’s see:
Saturday: Check.
After 9am: Check.
DFOer: Check.

According to my maths you should be inebriated in some fashion already.

Sharkbait

*Checks numbers*

Yup. He’s right.

I like it when Ohio State isn’t good at something.

Sharkbait

That’s THE Ohio State not being good at something.

scotchnaut

Hey Hippo, check slack for a sec.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It’s pretty damn tight.

The figurative rope of mortality around my neck.

QB of the Flowers does a good?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Too bad it’s not still called the Papa John’s Bowl.
I would find that amusing given current “events”.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I see the U*NC football fans showed up today for the baxsetballing v tOSU.
(it’s funny because of all the empty blue seats, you see)

Nice!

The tackling is challenged in this game. That flea flicker should have been a 10 yard loss.

Unsurprised

I can’t believe it’s the 23rd. Fuck.

Sharkbait

Happy Festivus.

litre_cola

Shall we wrestle?

litre_cola

This JV game is not very talent laden.

Unsurprised

Speaking of “I work for” Doug Jones, I see people are pissed because his D.C. office is going to be all-white (as is the case with pretty much every congressional office. Washington is 70% African-American and they’re all permanent staff who make the government function without having actual power).

Anyway, someone finally noticed since he only won because of African-American turnout.

yeah right

Eldest right, son in law and two oldest granddaughters are coming by this evening for holiday festivities.
I’m making two batches of enchiladas. One with the leftover smoked turkey from thanksgiving and another batch with chicken and mushrooms. Eldest right is bringing tamales. We will also be continuing the gambling education of eldest granddaughter.
There are gratuitous bottles of alcohol on hand.

It’s time to be festive!

yeah right

Even at 12 years old she’s got a professional poker face.

Unsurprised

Oh my god. That sounds amazing. I haven’t had enchiladas in so long.

yeah right

Enchiladas have to be homemade. Even restaurant quality isn’t the same. Not that challenging either.

Unsurprised

I know.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Enchiladas!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Gratuitous alcohol sounds like a fine idea.
Deal!!!!

yeah right

This extra flex day before Christmas Eve is disconcerting and has great potential for long term brain damage.

litre_cola

Kill it with fire?

litre_cola

My liver agrees.

Unsurprised

That’s awesome.

Grievance: Fox News should be required to cite everything they say

Unsurprised

We need more prominent left-wing Christians.

Unsurprised

Yeah. That sounds about right. It’s all good.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Sounds like a Communist. You know, one of those Muslim ones.
