JV NFL – Last Chance to Stop the Tiggers

Yes, I have convinced my dumbass self this is an actual possibility.  In the range of 30%.  SIGH.

Michigan at Michigan State (Noon, Fox)

We will always have that punt oopsie-doodle game.  Remember?  You’ll see that replay maybe 20 times during the broadcast.  Sparty was good last week, so don’t expect a repeat.

Oklahoma at TCU (Noon, ABC)

Bloodeyes have had a rather bad season, but taking down Boomer Sooner would make everything all better.  The Big Twaaaalllllve is effectively out of the playoff conversation, so they might as well entertain us with anarchy.

Illinois at Wisconsin (Noon, FS1)

Noted because I bet on the Fightin’ Snowflakes.  $40 ATS (+24.5), $10 ML (+1450).

NC State at Clemson (3:30, ESPN)

DABO! must be stopped.  For Notre Dame and tOSU are making the playoffs, without question.  Wouldn’t it be nice for someone other than Roll Damn Tide to be the good guy?  This is Ryan Finley’s moment, and he’s very ready for it.  Question is whether NC State’s defense can put him in position to win the game late.  I think they can – the wolves do physical, and Cuse showed how much the Tiggs don’t like being punched in the mouth.  Definitely the game of the day, and the rest of the window is vile shite.

Mississippi State at LSU (7:00, ESPN)

I have a sneaking suspicion the Bayou Bengals could be a bit letdown emotionally.  But it’s under the lights in their Death Valley, and I am wary to bet on this version of Cowbells.  But interested to see how it plays out.

Oregon at Washington State (7:30, Fox)

I really don’t think either of these sides are very good, but Wazzu has the GameDay hype adrenaline going for them, and Quack Attack is coming off a big win, and I love fading teams like that (especially ones that ain’t so hot).

Vanderbilt at Kentucky (7:30, SECN)

For some reason, I am drawn to this matchup.  Perhaps an early Bananacakes warning system is at hand?

Arizona at UCLA (10:30, ESPN2)

It’s a sad excuse for a tweaker matchup, but this slate is super light.  At least there’s the White Supremacy Bowl hook!

Go on. Stomp on the helmet midfield logo. You know you want to.

And the internet is slow-ish here. I’m calling Justin Trudeau and giving him a piece of my mind.

Let him know good work on the legalization.

I will. I’m tough but fair.

Horse collar tackle by Bama defender, Tennessee gets the personal foul call. Business as usual.

Redshirt

The same thing happened in Cincy-Temple. Cincy hits a Goldberg-esque spear on a receiver. No flag? Coach goes to question it. Gets flagged?

Booth actually calls the booth review for targeting. He’s ejected but no penalty yards because the coach’s penalty stands.

Tenn is gettin hoseda just like the fahkin Greatriots.

Stupid Progressive Lady. Her sister moves into a new home and all she really cares about is getting her business and a nice commission.

UH-Navy and TxTech-Kansas seem a lot more interesting than the marquee matchups.

Y tu mama Etienne?

Colorado @ Washington is on FOX Business? I know its sports broadcasters, but part of me wishes it was Fox News personalities commenting on the game and inserting their conservative slant.

“And Washington scores the typing touchdown! You know this wouldn’t happened if Colorado’s defense built a wall to stop them. But do you hear that from the liberal media? No! Because all the lying liberal media cares about the Huskies! THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT THE BUFFALOES AND REAL AMERICANS!”

scotchnaut

I’s at our camp and it’s figure skating or Harry Potter instead of the Clemson game. What good is a wife that won’t go for the premium sports package at both places? “Saving money“, indeed…

You can simulate the Alabama game by finding 11 ants, and then stepping on them.

scotchnaut

I’ve got that game and a few others but I want everything and can’t have it. Being a middle-aged white guy really sucks sometimes.

theeWeeBabySeamus

The 11 ants and stepping on them works for the NC State/Clemson as well.
The 11 ants being NC State, currently.

Did Alabama just tell Tennessee that 28 comes after 0, and Tennessee doesn’t know enough to argue back?

I’m against politicians being confronted in their personal life, with some exceptions for when they really deserve it. This is one of those cases.

“Lets cut taxes for the upper class.”
(one year later)
“We need to cut Medicare and Social Security. We can’t afford it.”

That argument would make more sense if you didn’t reduce the income flow.

Viva La Tabula Raza

That’s been the strategy since the 1980s.
Also, notice that the deficit once again no longer matters, since a Democrat is not in the Oval Office.

Gratliff

No insulation for politicians. These scumfucks go out of their way to avoid looking their constituents in the eye for 6 years and then pop back in to rally the base before elections. I hope he gets stuck in a fucking six pack ring.

Redshirt

That’s why I said exceptions. There are some good politicans. Only about a dozen or so out of 500+ but there are some good ones.

Unsurprised

Fuck them. They’re trying to kill people.

Redshirt

I’ll sit in the corner. I hate Alabama but for personal reasons I hate Tennessee more.

This is more the lesser of two pieces of shits.

Pro tip: Trying to use that as an excuse won’t work on a cop when pulled over for speeding.

Thank God he was wearing a helmet!

Viva La Tabula Raza

I was going to stay in today to watch these football matchups, but it looks like for the most part they are going to be glorious slaughters. Thank goodness the bar opens at 4.

Just turned on my teevee, how are the Vols doing? Oh. Oh my.

WCS

It’s already 21-0 Satans with 8:08 left in the first quarter.

Total yards: Bama 143 Tennessee -24

This Saturday In October, indeed.

Fuck Clemson.

Sorry, but it needed to be said.

JustStopDude

Isn’t always implied?

theeWeeBabySeamus

It is at my house.

Senor Weaselo

U*NC-Clemson, and you are forced to watch and root for one of the teams to win that game at gun/knife/other weapon-point. Who do you root for?

theeWeeBabySeamus

The meteor.

theeWeeBabySeamus

And I’d also be hoping that Maryland and ECU were playing somewhere close enough that the impact crater would take them out too.

JustStopDude

Evening boys. It’s about 10pm here. I did the training classes here in the Netherlands. This is the first integrated steel mill (massive complex) where I could not taste the metal in the air. The place is spotless. Their furanaces release less carbon than the workers coming into work, which is even further amazing because about 30% of them bicyle into the mill.

Their staff is top notch. Drives are boring, even to the people that use them. At no time did one of these guys nod off. No one picked around on phones. This site bought a full sized drive just to have to train their people. It’s a working drive!

One of the power cells retain for $120k. The simulator has six. They even got the water system which is another $100k.

I’ve never been to a site this nice, with such a well train crew and a commitment to safety.

I need to go in on Monday to set up some stuff for the commissioning of the real drives. Their boss Wilco is asking me to come in early.

He is going to offer me a job. I get this all the time…and this is the first time ever…it’s not a firm no.

litre_cola

That country is amazing and the quality of life is superb. I spent a few months there redoing wine lists for hotels in our group and it was sublime. I stayed in Haarlem which is where I want to retire to.

JustStopDude

I’ve been hanging out in Uitgeest. If I had the money…I would kill to retire in that village.

ballsofsteelandfury

I would seriously consider it. The Netherlands is a wonderful place.

Plus, your multiple language skills would go over great there.

Unsurprised

DO IT

You’ll need a legal advisor.

If ever a game was going to be called a tie for incompetence, it this Mich-MSU one.

Meh, Juve already screwed it up by tying Genoa at home.

TCU, present.

I don’t get it. Temple puts a live owl on the field and everyone goes all cute. But if Cincinnati put a live bearcat on the field, everyone would probably freak and run.

Sounds like fun football weather.

Now that hit in UC-Temple is targeting. HA! THEY CALLED UNSPORTSMAN LIKE ON THE HEAD COACH!

His own players are holding him back.

That’s not targeting in Winter Wonderland. He’s going for the ball, not the helmet.

HOLY SHIT! THEY OVERTURNED IT!

Ah, good. God has realized His mistake and is wiping the state of Michigan from the face of the Earth.

I see they took my dismissing comment that they can both go f*ck themselves a bit literal.

I think we’ll cover ATS fairly easily. But down there, I don’t think we’ll win.

Don’t believe it. It’s a ruse.

I suspect he might be ready to commit homicide by about 7pm when NC State once again misses a last second FG to notch a crushing defeat (that’s what happened against Clemson two yrs ago, btw).

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hehehehehe

theeWeeBabySeamus

I was in the mountains of SW Virginia that day. Stupid family shit. I couldn’t get a signal on the phone. Ended up in a store run by a VT fan. Asked him if he knew what was going on. Very cool dude…he pulled it up and told me…

Him: Tied, you guys are going to kick to try to win.
Me: We’ll lose in OT.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, I didn’t see a replay until a coupla days later. Which was probably a good thing or I’d have driven off the mountain road into a ravine just foar general principle.

Senor Weaselo

Blair Walsh went to NC State?
