DFO overlords are glad I didn’t say “fuck off, cunts” in the title. But seriously…fuck off, cunts. We need a full day of all varietals of footy! Especially with this rather dire JV NFL slate. But as usual, the world don’t care what we need, especially what Hippo need.
Northwestern at Minnesota (Noon, BTN)
Wow, they is some dogs in this window. This’un is flagged because the Mildcats have clinched a berth in the B1G title match, with an 0-3 non-conference mark. With a little bit of luck, they could be 6-6 and play for the championship, which would be the most B1G thing ever.
Michigan State at Nebraska (Noon, Fox)
Sparty is a mere 2-point favourite here. As my preferred college indie band would say, Jump! On that elevator…
Yes, that’s what I’m gonna do… (and yes, this actually made MTV’s 120 Minutes, Hippo was so excite)
Utah at Colorado (1:30, PAC-12)
This should actually be a good game, though the offenses are nothing to write home about. Team Secular Big Love probably has the best mathematical chance to represent the jumbled South v. the Apple Cup winner for the conference title. As such…probably betting the JV Donks here.
Syracuse v. Notre Dame @ Babe Ruth’s Corpse Field (2:30, NBC)
L’Orange aren’t that bad offensively, but they have about as much chance to stop the Irish from scoring as a random assortment of Commentist Party members. Don’t go getting your hopes up (unless you are Fronk).
West By God Virginia at Oklahoma State (3:30, ABC)
On one hand, this is a bear trap of a match for Fuckers du Cousins. But on the other, BDSM State could be emotionally drained after their 1-point loss in Stillwater. Could go either way. And a blowout in either direction.
Boston College at Florida State (3:30, ESPN2)
Two notables. First, BC is a road favourite in Tallahassee. Second, an Iggles win means no bowl for the Semenholes, breaking like a bajillion year streak. Purely a schadenfreude watch.
USC at UCLA (3:30, Fox)
Hey, it’s still a rivalry. Now with race war overtones!! Here’s some more hipster goodness, thematically correct:
Duke at Clemson (7:00, ESPN)
Don’t sleep on this matchup, the Devils TOTES can threaten the 28-point spread.
UAB at Texas A&M (7:00, ESPN2)
UAB is 9-1 against mostly nobody, but TAMU is kinda shitty so could be a fun upset (Blazers are +17 as of this writing). This is that strange pre-Thanksgiving week where most of the SEC takes a virtual bye. BLECH.
Stanford at Cal (7:30, PAC-12)
The Best of the West are all on the internal network this week, as these Golden Shower Bears have looked hungry of late (and the Trees…not so much).
Cincinnati at UCF (8:00, ABC)
Seriously, JV Cincy v. Hitler Mice is the national prime-time selection. Jesus wept.
Iowa State at Texas (8:00, LHN/ESPN3)
Two top 20 sides, in this crap slate, and it will only be available streaming to most folk.
Arizona at Washington State (10:30, ESPN)
Oh, this is tricky as fuck for Mike Leach’s pirate crew. Apple Cup is next, and will decide the PAC-12 North no matter what. Can they stay focused and keep their long-shot playoff hopes alive? Watch and be amazed, as Wazzu has really turned up the defensing in November.
Now snowing at Cornfucker Stadium, guess that 3-nil game will get even MOAR conservative??
THIS CITADEL FOOTBALL TEAM, I CALL THEM THE SOUTH PARK COWS BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY BEAT THE SPREAD!
Louisville, still shitty
Refs just threw a flag on Ray Lewis’ son, who plays for Mary Land…
illegal use of serrated object?
Well they called that on some other guy so Lewis wouldn’t get the rap
SNOWFLAEK!!!111 alert, they has re-scheduled Cal/Stanford
More like ashflake alert
These scholar-athletes need to get used to playing in apocalytpic wasteland conditions imo
SNOW GAME ALERT! Team Secular Big Love at JV Donks

Alas, Pretend Army(SC) is in retreat

If you have time to read this, you should as it is excellent and unfortunately for me, very relatable as I once had a hidden gem of a restaurant go under due to Guy Fereri.

That’s a solid piece. I’m partially responsible for some of the food tourism shit myself.
Fuck it. Anyone want to get some awesome brisket from Franklin’s?
That’s a good article. It’s a difficult thing because you want your favourites to succeed yet retain their charm.
Maryland is choking away their lead like a freshman at summer drills.
Or not. Lol tOSU.
Citadel just recovered a fumble the 2nd Half Opening Kickoff.
Was there even a line on Tide/Pretend Army (SC)?
Alabama by 56

still would nae be shocked if they covered
“And Alabama has won, 54-(-2)!”
Woody Hayes & Bo Schembechler just threw their TV out of a window in Heaven.
Is Urban going to fake a heart attack at halftime?
perhaps have a real one while faking? PLEASE GOD
Holy shit, this Monday is International Men’s Day (19 Nov). Finally, a day where men get their due!
(sees flag for Holding against Maryland) “Yes!”
(sees Ohio State player tackling ballcarrier 10 yards out of bounds) “No, you dumbass!”

Even if bama lost today, would it matter? If they win the SEC they in the playoffs, one loss or none.
Playoff Committee Rule #0: Alabama one-loss teams get in. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Citadel and Alabama are tied at halftime. Heads are going to roll in the Tide locker room.
Puppy heads, to be clear.
I assume a few dump trucks have been engaged to supply the requisite amount of puppies.

Sparty just playing stupid now. And stupid is laying 3.5.
I have dreamed a dream but now that dream is gone from me.
Dammit Terps, you are the Derps.
Ah christ.

He’s killing it too
The Buckeyes did a good? Ah, hell. What’s the antidote to a Cyanide Pill?
SUDDEN CHANGE FOR SPARTY
Maryland’s McFarland has broken 200 yards with 12:44 in the 2nd quarter. At this rate, Woody Hayes may rise from the grave to punch Urban Meyer in the face on the sidelines.
FINALLY a zombie movie I’d watch.
Maryland walks out onto the field to…

MNF is 9-1 KC vs. 9-1 Rams? How’d that happen? How’d we get a Super Bowl preview?
By the time I got my $100 in on Sparty, line was all the way to +1, absolute bananacakes
I grabbed some of that, along with Syracuse and the 10 points.
Man, I thought about the SillyCuse when it went full 10. But then AZ went to 10.5, and I bet them instead.
Citadel ties it up, this is why Alabama is afraid to play at The Citadel.
If Brett Kavanaugh is at the Harvard-Yale game and someone fails to pour a beer on him I will lose all hope for humanity.
/just kidding that hope has been gone for years
“If Brett Kavanaugh is at the Harvard-Yale game and someone fails to force themselves onto him, I will lose all hope for humanity.”
Fixed that for you.

SIGH, I hope so – Marc T., Parts Unknown
Alabama 7 – The Citadel 0, 2nd Qtr. Huh.
I smell an upset brewing, folks.
How many puppies will Saban kill at the half? YES
Maryland is killing it.
Good to see DJ Durkin’s philosophy hasn’t totally been scrubbed from the program.
Shitty Wolves ™ implosion continues apace.
I take it that I’m the only one watching the epic battle of 6-4 Pitt against the 5-5 Deamon Deacons?
Lordy I hope so!
/can’t believe JV Yinzers will be in ACC title match
Maryland running back has 155 yards, averaging 51 yards per carry, not a big deal.
“False start. Everyone but the center.” Perfect.
Announcer: “We’ve secretly replaced the Ohio State Buckeyes defense with the Cincinnati Bengals defense. Let’s see if Redshirt notices.”
Michigan state is better.
And get a load of Spicoli here at QB!

I see Ohio State is looking ahead to the Annual Battle of Destiny against the ferocious Wolverines and have overlooked the Turtles.
The Yale QB is ass.
Yale fumble!
Harvard vs Yale is where the action is at today.

I hope all the
8 1632 team playoff advocates out there pay attention to this Northbynorthwestern game today, cause it would be inevitable to get pointless games like that one with huge playoffs and automatic bids.Show of hands…who’s ever pulled a muscle in their back just from wiping their ass?
Because I just did. Holy hell man, getting old sucks.
This is going to make for a fun drive home tomorrow too.
smgdh
The more I hear of stories like this, the more I’m glad my back gradually got thrown out over the course of an hour and I have no idea what triggered it
I sat there for a minute in excruciating muscle spasmy type pain thinking it’s gonna be really embarrassing when I can’t get up off this toilet and they find me here tomorrow when I don’t show up to check out of the hotel.
Fortunately, I was able to get up and get mah pants pulled up. But it still doesn’t feel particularly great.
Your story is scary. That can happen?
Not my favorite discovery about aging, but apparently it can.
Now I have to go walk around Siesta Key all afternoon and act like it doesn’t hurt.
Yay Florida!!!!!
smgdh
Up around the scapula area? Never pulled it, but yeah, I’ve come close.
I pulled a calf muscle on Thursday, doing the wakeup yawn/stretch
Fantastic feature image.
International break is still the Haves’ coward’s way out of not testing their depth. Have club league games regardless of international matchups, damnit!
Brazil does!
I’m optimistic that the rat problem is under control. The cat spent the entire night (voluntarily) outside and came up with nothing (or else what she caught was small enough to eat) so maybe the blood oranges are safe.
For now.
I know a guy in Angola who may want to borrow your cat, seems some rats have been making off with his diamonds.

I was out shoveling the driveway yesterday. Thursday’s storm dumped sleet and ice for 6-8 hours, then switched to snow for the last 3. This led to (if you were watching me) a spectacular sequence in which my shovel stopped short in the ice; simultaneously destroying itself and my entire lower back instantly.
Just like playing street hockey and while running your stick gets caught in a rut on the pavement and you get a butt end to the stomach. As a youth this was hilarious when it happened to someone else but awful when you are doubled over with the wind knocked out of you.
As someone whose back occasionally pitches unwarranted fits, you have my genuine sympathy.
I put in a 5 team Premier League parlay last night without ever noticing the dates on the games. (In other words, JEEBUS do these THC vape pens work!)
They sure do. At least I can have a happy Saturday for once this EPL season because teh mighty Fulham isnt playing.
The oil is saving me a ton of money, too. I’m spending maybe 1/3 of what I had been.

ARE YOU EXCITE?!
I believe that the Tinker could get us to safety. I am happy it was him and not big Sam or some other retread.
