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.

Further proof that things are getting worse:

Overburdened Mom: “How about these Sketchers?”
Entitled Son: “Sketchers suck!”

Past Mom: (sternly; matter-of-factly) “You know what also sucks? Wearing newspaper and duct tape on your feet. Since its my money we’re spending you can either get the Sketcher or I’ll hand you the Sunday edition and a roll of tape. You’re choice.”

Present Mom: (softly; meekly) “Okay.”

Unsurprised

Worse? That mom fucking rules.

I present to you, the single most irritating article every written by a team of millennials.

http://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/poor-millennials/?ncid=newsltushpmgHighl__Highline__122717

The content in the article is actually decent…it is just the single most irritating layout I have ever witnessed.

Unsurprised

You had me at HuffPo.

The ‘1994 issue of Wired’ motif. Good choice. https://archive.fo/s5wHh

last 4 min of SouthHam vs. ManU match. still 0-0….

ended 0-0.

Ticketmaster thinks I’m retarded I think (don’t say it).

I’ve got tix to Avett Bros tomorrow night. They just sent me an email for…I dunno, a reminder? But in the email they state clearly that…

This email is NOT your tickets.
Your ticket(s) were sent by mail.

Also, they state clearly that cameras with detachable lenses are not permitted, but those without detachable lenses are permitted. We’re gonna test that theory big time when I show up with my Nikon longzoom which is not detachable.

Considering the guy who’s more or less in charge of everything PNC Arena was a childhood friend and I’ll call his ass at home if need be, I think I’ll be OK.

Unsurprised

Finally, someone who can get decent upskirt shots of pop performers in concert.

theeWeeBabySeamus

This might not be the show for that. But I’ll try….

Texas was a mistake.

Best game you ever eye-balled in real time. It’s super close but this one was bananacakes.

Obviously I’ll mention the Giants SB win in 2007 but I should mention the Russian National team vs. the Canadiens in 1976 and the U.S. team upsetting the Russians in 1980.

Horatio Cornblower

1980 Miracle on Ice.

C’mon, that’s not even close. Unless you’re Canadian of a certain age, then it would be that series vs. the USSR that Scotchy cites below.

Wait a sec-Lanning plays mlb for the first time in college during his senior year and ends up 1st Team All-American?

So is Lamar Jackson going to be any good in the pros? I’m thinking this is another great JV QB whose skills won’t translate over well to the NFL.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Nope. and Yep.

rockingdog

which team is gonna take a flyer on him?

Redshirt

If he falls to Bengals, them. If not, then the Oklahoma QB.

Yep, I’m getting the second coming of David Klingler or Akili Smith.

this Man U southHam match is getting good.

Great call!!!!!! I love video review!!!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m being sarcastic fwiw, but I’m not sad about the call.

Unsurprised

Holy shit. The Jack Palance reference is a nice touch. https://twitter.com/TimProbable/status/808592437669150720

More immaturty from Mayfield. I call him Bakers Dozen becuz he acts like hes 13

Unsurprised

Roy Moore frequently grabs a baker’s dozen when he leaves the house, but he always returns empty-handed. His wife notices that he always has icing stains on his crotch, so she has put him on a diet.

Unsurprised

I ran a marathon reaching for that second sentence.

Forget cocaine. Ambien is a Hell of a drug.

The weird thing is that it’s not really a sleep drug, it’s a hypnotic/memory eraser.

Unsurprised

Oh. That makes sense. I never connected that.

Horatio Cornblower

I used it during an earlier battle with insomnia and all I can say is I would much rather be awake.

Unsurprised

Two shitty products, together at last!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Do better, Cyclones.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I haven’t been watching too closely yet to be honest, but it looked like Memphis was moving way too easily there for a sec.

scotchnaut

Ioway State D is givin’ ‘er.

/that series at least

rockingdog

You unhappy about that USC loss last night? or have you gotten over it?

litre_cola

Or some roofies – D. Sharper

litre_cola

Didn’t you say last night that because of Darnold’s performance more wold start getting “injuries” to not play?

Unsurprised
litre_cola

Yeah I get some approval emails when I post. Honestly if I see it is from a normal commentist I just approve it.

Unsurprised

YAY!

rockingdog

Wat the what!

Unsurprised

The original formatting makes it even better. Does the ‘D’ after ‘XXOO’ mean those are tongue kisses? I have so many questions. We need to give her more Ambien and record everything. For uh … Posterity.

Romelu Lukaku had a head injury. This seems important for Man U…….

Bring back Ibra

scotchnaut

Lamar is going to make a great tight end at the next level.

Unsurprised

But he’s black, which somehow became a bad thing in football because everything sucks.

Unsurprised

Yeah, except that it’s not a joke so much as a sad observation of reality being stupid.

I’m not going to lie. I’m cheering for Penn State later today.

/Okay. Fine. I lied.

Unsurprised

Something about a hundred-hand slap.

I keep forgetting about the Disney Trump animatronic that is obviously a repurposed HIllarybot, and that makes me smile even though I hate every proper noun in this sentence.

scotchnaut

The entire Cowbell’s O looking to the sideline for the next play to be called while at the line of scrimmage is not a good look.

BTW, if you are interested in volunteering more for the new year, one of the most common (and commonly needed) duties at your local humane society is just walking the dogs. During winter they never have enough in the afternoon. They walk the dogs twice a day and prefer to finish in the afternoon before dusk, but because volunteers can only walk one dog at a time per volunteer they finish when they finish.

There is also socialization for the cats and small animals (birds, rabbits, gerbils and hamsters, rats, whatever comes in).

I’ve the thought that ‘Cowbells “R” Us’ sales will drop significantly next week.

Goddamn it. I was posting Rangers girls for nobody because I didn’t see this page go up.

I wasn’t sure what the policy is on body paint.

theeWeeBabySeamus

The policy is that we like it.

Is Lamar’s game going to translate to the NFL?

Unsurprised

It took me way too long to get that joke.

I’ve got Shockers/UConn, Miami (OH)/Ohio State and Wake/U*NC so far.

$200 on Iowa State moneyline, btw (+155)

What can I say? I’m weak.

Is this a safe place to talk about college basketball as well? There’s so much going on today…
