Fuck everything, another shitass International Break is upon us. And is JV NFL breaking out the good vintage bottles to ease our suffering? Fuck and No. Your platter of turds follows:
Florida at Vanderbilt (Noon, ESPN)
Some peoples would have you believe that the Gators have turned the corner and are now legitimately good. Those peoples will be noticeably quiet after said Gators lose to Vandy. Yes, this is a thing I bet on.
Iowa at Indiana (Noon, ESPN2)
Bet you didn’t expect these sides to be 4-1 and 4-2, respectively. Still, watching this fixture will give your eyes a sad. But pickins is slim.
Oklahoma State at Kansas State (Noon, ESPNU)
The Battle of Who’s MOAR Disappoint and/or Loser Becomes the Side Most Likely to Almost Lose to Kansas.
Georgia at LSU (3:30, CBS)
The first of today’s two real games (both at same time, of course), featuring a good Georgia side on the road against an angry Bayou Bengal side. If’n this was at night, I’d favour LSU outright. Still think they beat a 7.5 point spread at home, but UGA pulls it out late.
Washington at Oregon (3:30, ABC/ESPN2)
Not sure I believe either of these team’s deserves to be ranked as highly as they are, but still quite watchable and interesting a matchup. Should be a night game, fuckos.
West By God Virginia at Iowa State (7:00, FS1)
I put money on Fuckers du Cousins (+7 at +120) to make this interesting. The late slate is fucking garbage.
Wisconsin at Michigan (7:30, ABC)
Two boring as fuck teams that sportscasters love to jism over. Michigan will likely murder Bucky Badger.
Colorado at USC (10:30, FS1)
Not a strong tweaker slate, even. But the Buffs are unbeaten and a 7-point dog going into Watts. Mildly interesting, I’d say. At least there will be Song Girls.
not like I really needed those thumbs anyway, ah can kill mahself without
“Oh Vandy, you came and you gave without taking, (the points from the easy field goal). Oh Vandy.”
-Barry Manilow, modified
why would you try a FG on 4th and 1 (with a GREAT running attack) from THE HASH inside the 10, when you KNOW you have a shitty walk-on kicker??
Every time I watch Vandy in any sport, I always think it would be funny if Lionel Richie showed up.

@Hippo, what was lines on UF/Vandy?
7 or 7.5? I got like +230-ish ML
I made just 3 bets:
$40 Vandy ML
$40 WVU -7 (+110)
$44 (to win $40, standard -110 line) LSU +7.5
Yeah, the UGa portion of my multiple personalities is worried ’bout that LSU game.
as I said in the intro, I think UGA wins on a late score. Likely MexiNERRRRRDDDDD kick
Did Tebow or Urban Liar curse Florida? Florida can’t field a decent team since they left.
apparently a few of they recruits refused circumcision ,, smh
Teebs said he’d perform it for free, daily follow up wound care, too
yeah, I bet Vandy got fired up at the half
Tomorrow’s England game wont start early? It says 10am local. WTF? having that super early game was awesome.
everything cool gets ruined
If you’re a fan of ‘no-name’ products but don’t want to shop today, just check out the Sens/Kings tilt at 2. Due to injuries something called Mikael Boedker will be playing on the top line! Yeesh.
That Duke/GT first half took about 62 minutes real time to play.
So the first half of UF/Vandy was a clinic on sportsmanship, huh?
Florida Men gon’ Florida Man
SPORTSMANSHIP! *silent*
BOOKS! *also silent*
Hey, Yeah Right, your boys got some press!

Fantastic. They also have great food trucks on Saturdays. It’s good to see them getting love.
I think it might be cool to hang out on the grass at the one end of Vandy’s field.
JESUS, Vandy’s D sucks all the hobo asshole.
His face got that ‘been out too long in the sun begging for quarters’ look about it.
So…if the sidelines each get another “team” unsportsmanlike…is the game over??
Which, if any, of tomorrow’s fixtures have your antennae a-twitchin’, Hippo?
I like Chefs ML, but want odds to go up. Also like the Bungles against Yinzburgh, but only medium. Otherwise, don’t have any strong feels.
I was eyeing up the Donks, but now that Kupp and Cooks are starting, I got scared off.
Kupp not dead?
both should play, but I’d be a little wary. Might still run a bit more. I wouldn’t bet the Donks under pain of catapault right now.
It’s amazing how many American politicians and media have found their moral compass now that the Saudis aren’t willing to buy more boom sticks from Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. Maybe if we start blaming the Saudis for Climate change, we might actually save the planet before we all have our skin melt like Raiders of the Lost Ark in 25-30 years.
or accountable for 9/11 or funding Wahhabism
YUP!!! They are the fuckiest of the fuckers, really.
That gets a little too close to having to accept blame ourselves.
UNLESS … Blame England. This time we invade Canada successfully.
Dan Mullen is a whiny bitch, and his team are a bunch of shits.
JV Vance Joseph walked over to call him out, too, and his team walked over to back him up. That was cool as fuck.
/Vandy and JV Vance Joseph force Hippo into early 2nd pill
Kiper had Stidham of Aubie on his QB watch list, which is just fucking ridiculous.
21-3 in Music City. I like getting to be temporarily smug!
AnchorSUDDEN CHANGE WOO!!!!!
seriously, that was a ridiculous FUMBRE drill
Okay, I did all the literature and history quizzes on sporcle (not really but quite a few) and now tis time for beer and football. Huzzah!
Los Gigantes Coach at the Vandy match. SCARY thought for Scotchy, Ian, et al – what if Pat Shurmur insists on drafting his shitty kid to replace Elisha?
What’s all this then? Don’t even think stuff like that.
Tomorrow’s parlay:
Chefs +160 @ NE
Tits +118 vs Ratbirds
Bolts/Factory – UNDER 45.5
$5.00 gets me $51.68
I like all ends of this’un
I’ve got a 3 teamer with Bolts, Panthers and Falcons all straight up. Ten gets you 48.
Black Panthers always worry me, especially coming off a quasi-emotional win. Consistency and road performance are not they hallmarks.
that said, it’s just the ‘Dacteds and I ain’t exactly betting the other end of things, neither…
My thought.
Where you all betting again? Superbook will only let me deposit with BTC and fuck that when it’s this low.
Bovada for me.
5dimes is also difficult to deposit other than fake moneys
Gophers looking good here.
that has exactly 0% chance of lasting past halftime and we all noe it
let me DREAM Hippo! Let me Dream!
as a pillhead, ah can hardly argue with that! 😀
AnchorDOWN 2!!!

Morning Folks.
Over easy eggs are underrated.
Calling them underrATEd makes me think you didn’t clean your plate. FINISH YOUR EGGS.
As long as the whites are cooked, Runny albumen is gross.
I make breakfast potatoes where the potato is cut into half inch slices and pan cooked with some butter and olive oil. Add some onion slices, salt, pepper and cayenne. Cook sloooow, about 30 minutes until mahogany brown. Some bacon and eggs over easy, Hell I can handle sunny side up, a piece or two of toast and you are golden.
Fuck it, I’m going to have that for dinner!
Mr. Hippo, just finished The Last Policeman. I ordered the last 2 books of the trilogy before I finished.
The concept is staggering and to have a tight whodunit while it’s wrapped in this monumental approaching cataclysm is…
Fuck. I’m speechless.
Thank you for the recommendation good sir.
glad you enjoyed! It really is a “skip work because you can’t put down” series, or was for me.
It’s a mystery?
As it turns out yes. It’s a small mystery in a massive concept.
FUN!

Afternoon lizard people. In what can be described as “hell freezing over,” I’m eating lunch at noon after having an orientation for a teaching job where the students will call me Mr. Weaselo instead of Mr. Senor (if that was my real name) after all but sealing it with, I’m just gonna use the term here even if we’re not official, Senorita Weaselo. (I am contractually obligated to say no, we did not bang.)
Make peace with the deity/deities of your choice, is what I’m saying.
Like ah said last night, this Weaselo, Senor…he fucks!!
But I specifically said we didn’t!
but in teh LARGER sense!
Congrats on finding a Senorita Weaselo while I was away.
Vandy’s coach looks A LOT like Vance Joseph and it’s triggering Hippo.
godfuckingdamnit, ah really bet on Vandy.
MERDE, that score’s comin’ back.
ah appreciate the CHEESE IS GROSS sign in Ann Arbor. Do believe I now have a rooting interest in that shitass fixture.
I wonder what they top their pizzas with, there in Ann Arbor. Probably best NOT to know
cheeseless pizza is the tits! Especially if the sauce is super flavourful.
It’s called marinara, dammit!

Nobody on the panel will pick Vandy. I will feel even better about mah ML bet.

I’m going to work, I’m at least 69% still asleep and the train is moving slower than Ketchup out of a bottle. I see today is going to be one of those kinds of days.
Another nice thing about the rain is that I don’t have to walk the dog. She doesn’t wanna go, and I don’t wanna take her.
I think with this Season Premiere, The Walking Dead is now officially too fucking stupid/predictable to DVR.
It’s interesting to look at the AV Club’s coverage and see that every single episode for the last two years has received between a B+ and a C grade. That sounds dull as fuck.
That’s how I felt two years ago. People who watch it now probably just watch it out of habit, ala Simpsons
Found a morning funny:
My cover letter is just a picture of me in a sleeveless turtleneck karate chopping the word ‘unemployment’.
Unexpected rainy mornings in LA are the most wonderful thing.
Yesterday I did errands everywhere and it was sunny, clear and beautiful. I took a nap at 3 PM, and awoke just after dark to rain, thunder, and lightning. Awesome!
Is it possible that all those ribs I ate last night are the reason why I don’t have much of a hangover this morning? Honestly? Could it be?
pork fat heals all things!
There’s friggin leaves falling on the field. They’re in a stadium and they’re getting autumnal looking leaves. So picturesque. I bet hacky writers would describe the air as “crisp.” I should have taken up rugby. Seems peaceful.
autumn leaves blend in nicely will all the blood!
Hung ooooooover.
Also, this soccer match is a goddamn mess. [checks channel guide].
Ah, this is rugby. That explains that.
I am also hungover, with nothing to look forward to. International breaks are such rotten, 3 days in the sun, ass.
I was forced to being awake. We cosleep with the youngin, and her diaper tapped out.
Oh fuck, I been there.
Morning with no footy at least needs some real rock music.

Correction: the Coli is Watts-ADJACENT!
close enough FOAR Coloradan white ppls
/also saw lat night that Buffs are 0-12 in series, average margin of defeat almost 21 points.
//hope my early bets come in so I can bet on CU moneyline!!
I’m not sure you want ML on this one. USC is coming off a bye and the Buffs are due to shit the bed.
Also, for future reference:
How come it ain’t coded special for where a honky should be afraid two make eye contact??
That’s easy. Between the 405 and the 210, cover your ass. Everywhere else, whitey is king.
Of course there are exceptions to this rule. But if you’re wandering aimlessly between the 405 and the 210, and make a wrong turn, shit can change in a hurry.
Or so I’ve heard “from a friend”. Whose name does not rhyme with tWBS.
Also remember:
North of LAX = Brick Meathook
South of LAX = Yeah Right
what colours should one wear to represent with which gang we align?
I assume you mean the 110?
Funny that the non-Angeleno answered this one…
His friend is incorrect, of course.
Yeah.
You guys have too many freeways for a human to keep up with all the right numbers.
/sighs heavily
I think the city of Los Angeles should crush and then annex Beverly Hills.
That’s an interesting border between Playa del Rey and Westchester. This interests no one but me.
When I lived in San Diego the cool kids lived west of the 5. In LA the cool kids live west of the 405.

//ah HATE them
The second part of your statement surprises me.
