Belated Lesser Footy and JV Open Thread

Sorry, forgot I was doing this.

As we speak, Palace have roared back to take a 2-1 lead on City.  At the Etihad.  BANANACAKES!!  There is also Hammers/Moose Hornets and White Power/Barcodes on NBC Gold.

United look for their new manager bump in the spotlight dance (12:30, NBC) in the easiest setting possible – home to Cardiff.

Bayern have a key road fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt (12:30, FS2).  That is mildly interesting.  German sides have such aggressive sounding names.

Tomorrow is all about Spurs at Toffees (11:00, NBCSN), a belter of an appetizer for the Last Real RedZone of the 2018 season.  Everton really need to at least get a point here, show they are serious.

Seems like our Young Boys have run off with their Sugar Daddies on vacation.  No fixtures this weekend.

JV exhibition previews!

Wake Forest (+3.5) v. Memphis, Annoying Jewelry Ads Bowl (Birmingham, AL – Noon, ESPN)

The Deacons are pesky and annoying, as their road win over my Shitty Wolves will attest.  Memphis seems like they choke a lot, so I put $50 on Wake.  Keep the afternoon lively.

Houston (+7??) v. Army, Salute to Jingoism Bowl (Fort Worth, TX – 3:30, ESPN)

I have to go with the JV 500s here ($50 at +220 ML), because I simply refuse to believe Army is any good.  Yes, a defense contractor is the sponsor.

Buffalo (-1) v. Troy, Too Cheap For K-Mart Bowl (Mobile, AL – 7:00, ESPN)

Yes, apparently Mobile is shitty even fer Alabama standards.  One has to like Buffalo here, it’s just ONE dude, man.

Hawaii (Pick ’em) v. Louisiana Tech, Hawai’i Bowl (Honolulu, HI – 10:30, ESPN)

Critical home island advantage has to come into play here.  But you may need professional help if cray-cray enough to stay up and watch this slop.

Field goals and punts should just be banned in non-championship bowl games

Shoulda been you, Bart O’Kavanaugh.

Hooray airport stress from late lyfts!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Well maybe you shouldn’t be hitting the gym right before a flight, is all I’m saying.

Can’t get the Cuse game out at the lake but the fucking Aquarium Channel(?!) is a go.

Horatio Cornblower

What did we do to deserve this?

theeWeeBabySeamus

You bet on Wake +3? I mean granted, it’s Memphis State (yes goddammit Memphis State fuck you John Calipari, and Dana Kirk)…..And Penny Hardaway, you’re a dumbass.

But still.

WCS

WVU Hoops just knocked off noted powerhouse Jacksonville State by two. At home.

Gonna be a long season in the Big 12 (-2).

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yikes.

Horatio Cornblower

I spent a week in Birmingham for work once. I found the people to be friendly and welcoming.

Keep in mind, I’m white af.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Like, straight outta Westport white.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hehehehe

theeWeeBabySeamus

I just told my neighbor it might soon be time to put her dog down.
That was fun.

What? She asked me for my opinion!!!!!

Horatio Cornblower

I mean, if you consider 12-15 years “soon”, that’s true for all dogs.

theeWeeBabySeamus

15 year old Boxer. Two knee surgeries, bad left hip.

This dog loves me. It’s gonna suck to have to kill her.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I iz starting to think Keatts might be moar capable than we thunk.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

You know what’s gonna be GREAT today? LAX and IAH

Game Time Decision

Safe travels.

yeah right

Jesus man! At least it’s not August in Houston. Good luck.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Just connecting there. Then off to Florida with the rest of my people.

litre_cola

I am not a ragemonster today which is nice. Day drinking at the pub so that helps.

yeah right

Taking the over in the Memphis v Wake game was like a goddamn Christmas gift.

Horatio Cornblower

I’ve seen harder hitting in the Pro Bowl.

I kid, I kid.

No one watches the Pro Bowl.

yeah right

Last night the Bulls played Orlando, the O/U was 200.

Final score was 90-80.

I only regret not betting more than 20.

Bulls, Heat, Magic, Pacers, Cleveland and Brooklyn. If any two of these teams play each other take the under.

This has been a public service announcement.

nomonkeyfun

You know what other Germans liked flags?

Horatio Cornblower

Huh. Mourinho gets fired, Pogba gets a start and sets up a beautiful goal. Who’da thunk it?

I mean, it is Cardiff, but still….

“Boo government! Government is bad! Wait, they’re shutting down the government? How dare they! Boo everyone who’s to blame for shutting down the government!”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Enjoying the last few quiet moments in the toilet before I have to go deal with family again, and preparations to deal with even *more* family tomorrow.

Horatio Cornblower

Try to turn those quiet moments in the toilet to loud moments in the toilet, and your family will never come over again.

yeah right

Cherries win AND Man City loses?

Happy fucking Holidays indeed!

You. I dont like your tone.

What a goal by De Brainer

yeah right

There will be no sponsor for the Houston Army game. They were furloughed due to the government shutdown.

Buncha fucking shitbags.

Fuck your stupid wall you orange faced infant cocksucker!

My next court date isn’t until the 22nd.

WOOOOO, NO JAIL TIME FOR tWBS!!!!!!!

yeah right

We recieved an email a couple of weeks ago that said our customer was smart enough to set aside a contingency fund that will allow everyone to keep working in the event of a government shutdown. Not sure how long it will last but I’ll be going to work as normal until instructed otherwise.

yeah right

Woo!

yeah right

Memphis is playing a split squad? Messing with you Mr. Hippo but it’s Louisiana Tech in Hawaii.

And holy crap Man City is down 3-1 to Crystal Palace!

rockingdog

Chelsea not looking good after the break….

theeWeeBabySeamus

Brocky posted this fine young lass on last night’s open thread. I didn’t actually see it until this morning.
But she needs to live on.
Oooooof.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Apparently her name is Calvin.

Just call me Hobbes.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Because any fun you would have with her is imaginary?

Unsurprised

Damn. That’s cold blooded.

Sonofabitch….now I’m not gonna get anything done today!!!!!

Well, I’ll get one thing done. Probably at least twice.

Ian Scott McCormick

Honest question: Is that a real person? I’m getting an uncanny valley vibe. Pretty sure that’s CGI.

theeWeeBabySeamus

The photo is definitely manipulated, yes.

Horatio Cornblower

I imagine that photo has caused a lot of other things to be manipulated too, if you know what I mean.
