JV NFL 30 December Afternoon Offerings

What wagers can I get horribly wrong today??

Gator Bowl – Louisville v. Mississippi State (Noon, ESPN)

Such a shame that Dan Mullen won’t be around for this, as would make for a great coaching matchup.  Ville have been disappointing all season long, though, and I don’t see any reason why that should stop today.

Liberty Bowl – Iowa State v. Memphis (12:30, ABC)

I guess Memphis is favoured because…de facto home game?  Iowa State beat Oklahoma on the road, what exactly is the Tiggers’ claim to fame, other than another Paxton Lynch clone at QB?

Fiesta Bowl – Washington v. Paedo State (4:00, ESPN)

Surprisingly (to me), the B1G is doing very, very well in exhibition play, and the PAC 12+ is falling on they faces.  I…wouldn’t expect this to be the matchup that changes that narrative, as much as I would like that outcome.

[…] Bowl Games all day.  The lovely and talented King Hippo  already has you covered on today’s earlier games here. […]

I’m sure you’re all wondering why I gathered you here. It is to field proposals on JUST HOW an expanded playoff system would work fo college. Where do you play the games? And when? There are no wrong ideas in brainstorming, but if your idea stinks you’ll be ejected from the plane that this super villan boardroom is located in.

herodotus450

Speaking of the vomit in my mouth that was that last play, have there been any truly Boise St-esque levels of insanity this bowl season? I haven’t seen any.

Senor Weaselo

Hook and lateralception! Where he could’ve just gone out of bounds!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I humbly disagree.
Best play in evar.

herodotus450

And it looks like he was trying to throw it to an offensive lineman, in the middle of the field. Definitely a game winning throw if it connects.

theeWeeBabySeamus

LOL

theeWeeBabySeamus

m’Kay. That was….interesting.

rockingdog

I suspect they didn’t practice that.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Wow UDub QB. Just wow.
I want you to fuck up and even I feel bad for you at this point.

rockingdog

UW has like 2 plays….3 tops.

rockingdog

hahahahaha

Senor Weaselo

So, can I call the FG return?

rockingdog

sure!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Doesn’t sound cray cray, but at this point I’d kick the FG if I had a kicker.

Aaaaannnnnd….nope, they don’t. Shit.

theeWeeBabySeamus

great googly moogly

Senor Weaselo

I don’t see why Washington doesn’t call the time-out anyway. If you hold them and get it back I’d rather have 1:15 and 2 TOs than :35 and all three.

Senor Weaselo

The answer is because they already did and they can’t light up the TOs well enough, THANKS ESPN.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Short.
Go for it, plz.
Tick tock.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Any other human being and I’d be tempted to ask if that’s real.

rockingdog

is president pumkin spice trying to make a point?

rockingdog

penn st has got this.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I liked it a lot.

theeWeeBabySeamus

But sure, go out of bounds. Why da fuq not?

Horatio Cornblower

The rarely seen prevent offense!

Horatio Cornblower

Which they have now fixed.

Senor Weaselo

Rockingdog reminded me of this, have we gotten a Wildcats vs. Wildcats Bowl Edition yet?

theeWeeBabySeamus

*ahem*

rockingdog

cool! out of the WildCat formation!

rockingdog

here we go!

herodotus450

Ahh the old bowl game breakdown by conference record. Pointless and meaningless when it doesn’t suit you, and the most important thing and OH MY GOD MY CONFERENCE IS SO DISRESPECTED when it does suit you.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fuck my conference.
My team won.
/drops mic

Horatio Cornblower

A record today for Penn State for most offense in a bowl game.

Their record for most offenses off the field, however, remains unlikely to be challenged any time soon.

Senor Weaselo

Clever sponsorship ideas: If not Tostitos, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Del Taco, etc., why hasn’t Ford sponsored the Fiesta Bowl? That thing’ll assault beaches!

rockingdog

Yea dude. It is still weird to me that playstation sponsors the fiesta bowl….

theeWeeBabySeamus

That dude’s gotta be Samoan…right?

Horatio Cornblower

Could be Tongan…

theeWeeBabySeamus

Now that’s a blast from the past.
Nice.

Unsurprised

This was a great joke. I forgot to credit BFC for it, though. I’ll fix that.

comment image

theeWeeBabySeamus

I think he credited himself already.

Horatio Cornblower

The Browns are going to draft Barkley #1 and he is going to tear both ACLs getting off the escalator at his introductory press conference.

comment image

theeWeeBabySeamus

Change back plz, k thx.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Backdoor cover tho.
I went in at -3 tho, so UDub would need two 6’s.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Still, I’m left hoping for PSU to score again just to be sure they really can’t screw the pooch.

I hate rooting for those assholes. I shoulda thought of that before tho I suppose.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Generous spot.
Thank you.

Senor Weaselo

Remember when the Geico Gecko was miffed about being confused with the car insurance company? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Unsurprised

The one with the lady from Mad Men?

theeWeeBabySeamus

One from West Rawlee comes to mind.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Shit. Like I said….

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hippo win on teh over.
Nicely played my friend.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup, shoulda gone that route to hedge fo’ sho’.

herodotus450

Is the arm waving thing the new “cereal bowl feed me” gesture? If so, I say bring it on. I’ll just be moving my mouth like this and we’ll see who wins

Unsurprised

Hopefully you get a better result than Homer does immediately after this gif ends.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’ve decided to stay far far away from Wiscy/daU tonight re: betting.
My inclination would be to take Wiscy ATS if the spread was slightly smaller. But nope, -6.5 is too big for that one. And moneyline is useless too.

I’ll take my ill gotten wins today (don’t fuck me Penn State…hehehe, get it?) and roll it onto something tomorrow.

theeWeeBabySeamus

That I’d have considered.
But truth is, I don’t trust either of those sides.

Spur

the huskie corners blow

Unsurprised

It figures that Paedo State excels at recruiting receivers.

Fronkenshteen

All fucked up at the local Mexican restaurant. HOW’s HIPPO’s ACTIOn?!?!1!?

Fronkenshteen

YOU ARE MY CAPTAIN FUCKING AMERICA!!!

herodotus450

Just as confusing as evar: Moneyline? Over? +100? Offshore bank account?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Oh man, I’m glad I don’t gamble then. I always want the underdog to win, and would bet thusly, and would shortly look like this guy, except fatter.comment image

Viva La Tabula Raza

I’ll just live vicariously through your victories here.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I live vicariously thru his wins too.
Mostly because I usually lose a lot.

Today has been kind to tWBS.

Spur

Good doggies!

Spur

The Aussies did us a solid. Too bad we need to wait till 2019 for any action

Viva La Tabula Raza

I was reading through the comments over on this week’s non-Magary Magary NFL column, and somebody made a comment that was very disrespectful of this site. What the fuck, man? This site is cool with me…

theeWeeBabySeamus

I bet I can guess who it was.
If I’m right….don’t worry about it.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Actually, the commenter accused Will Leitch of being Unsurprised here at DFO. I’m unfamiliar with the history, assume at some point in the past there was a schism of some kind. There’s always some bitterness

Viva La Tabula Raza

I rarely comment over there, but will keep your advice in mind. I went back and looked, and the commenter was named D*ct*r B*ll, but I imagine that means nothing with all the burner accounts and whatnot over there.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey ohhhhh!!!!!

As Hippo said, best to just not engage him.

Senor Weaselo

…They gave Lavar Ball an honorary doctorate?

litre_cola

Just walk away slowly. Nothing to see there.

Unsurprised

Leitch wishes he were me.

Spur

the sponsor logo is way too big. it shouldn’t be larger than the Bowl name.
