Happy 2019 Lesser (and also JV) Footy Thread

Everton hosting Leicester right now (NBCSN), with my Toffees needing all three points, and needing them badly.  I think we shall get them, but then again I am a moron.

Next up is Arsenal hosting Mighty Whitey (10:00, NBCSN).  Litre’s boys have been a little more alive of late, but this will be a severe test indeed.  Arsenal have been a bit nondescript on recent form.

Finally, mighty Cardiff host wee Spurs (12:30, NBCSN).  Surely Pochettino will be playing for a point in this one, yeah?

EDIT: Hi folks, Rikki here!  This post has been updated to become your official home for open threading on the JV bowl games happening throughout the day.  On guard!

That unfinished endzone’s gonna bother me for the entire game.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Always good with some Tom Petty intro/bumper music. That Mike Campbell outro solo is beastly.

Jake Browning better be ready…..

Ya know how in the 50s they’d have those “visions of the future” with flying cars and flat telescreens and robot maids to replace women? My vision is to someday have the technology to accurately calculate when a sporting event is actually gonna fucking start.

herodotus450

They have to be separate, we don’t have the technology to make a robot that can effectively clean in only 23 hours and 57 minutes per day.

I was kinda rooting for this.comment image

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey Hippo, you saw what Richt did, yes?

theeWeeBabySeamus

OK, should I drop a G on UGa?

Mr. Ayo

Absolutely

theeWeeBabySeamus

You’re just screwing with me now.

Mr. Ayo

I’ll venmo you another G for myself if that helps.

rockingdog

yes yes yes

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, that’s kinda where I’m heading too.

They’ll probably beat it, but when they go ground, and backdoor cover? Not worth the risk.

SonOfSpam

It’s your money, so yes.

theeWeeBabySeamus

GODDAMMIT!!!!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I really don’t give a shit about LSU or UCF, but I’m rooting for a turnover and a UCF score here so I don’t feel stupid.

Senor Weaselo

Wait, which one is Hitler Mice?

litre_cola

Well they do have to play Devry, and the University of Phoenix in Conference play.

Mr. Ayo

UCF. I’m waiting for the Hippo translator to update.

theeWeeBabySeamus

LOL. teh Hippo Translator 3000 is still in development.

Senor Weaselo

That is eternal.

COME ON, MIKE BROWN! DO IT!

Redshirt

NO! DON’T LISTEN! YOU’RE OLD! YOU’RE RICH! RETIRE! LET YOU DAUGHTER TAKE OVER!

You’re talking about a different Mike Brown are you?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

No, I’m talking about the Bengals. Hiring Hue would be hilarious to me.

litre_cola

They save money on not paying guys for interviews. Abides by the Rooney rule. He will come cheap.

Checks out.

Redshirt

To Bengals fans, it will be a slap in the face, and end up with the fanbase abandoning the team, the lease not getting renewed when its up in 8 years or so, and the team moving out of Cincinnati.

To everyone else, it would be hilarious.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

so what’s the downside?

rockingdog

alright LSU gonna get the W.
Whats next?

Mr. Ayo

The Urban Meyer Retirement Bowl

Redshirt

Can he just die? Is that an option?

SonOfSpam

“And the final score is Washington 35, Ohio St. 3, and Urban Meyer’s been drawn and quartered at midfield. Good night from Pasadena.”

litre_cola

I put money on Paedo St when they were down big. That field goal was fucking bullshit.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Who’s got two thumbs and is now really kicking himself for forgetting to bet LSU?

Mr. Ayo

Poor Hippo. Really being dumped on today.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’M TALKING ABOUT ME DAMMIT!!!! I INTENDED TO DROP A G ON LSU AND FREAKING FORGOT TO PLACE THE BET.

BC gets cancelled and I forget to bet LSU. Jeebus.

Now how am I gonna buy all the vodka i need next month????????

Mr. Ayo

Drop the G on UW losing big.

Or stick to the plastic bottles on the bottom shelf.

SonOfSpam

I liked McSorley more when he was beating up anyone who looked sideways at Gretzky.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You mean like Bryan Berard?

SonOfSpam

I am only familiar with Kings players and that goalie who got his neck sliced open.

BONK!

Insert “I haven’t seen Penn State make a bunch of young males nervous since…” joke here.

Unsurprised

Penn State defensive coach Jerry Sandusky raped dozens of boys and Joe Paterno knew and looked the other way as did others who consciously ignored it or actively covered it up, and the whitewashing has continued to this day because everyone involved with Penn State is a fucking bastard who deserves to be buried neck deep in a field full of starving dogs.

Unsurprised

Fuck it.

Mr. Ayo

I mean, that’s what started all this.

Jesus. That rail will have a (literal) ton of weight behind it. That very easily could have killed that man.

Mr. Ayo

What is a Kikuchi and why did the Mariners just give it 100MM?

Mr. Ayo

So #1 for the Mariners. RIP Felix and Paxton.

JustStopDude

Mumble mumble…GUMBO!!!!…mumble mumble…

That was one hell of a DERP!

SUDDEN CHANGE!

You have LSU on the ML or ATS here Sir Hippo?

“Gotta lot of faith in our defense, just have to make the stop” said the Cowbells’ coach after the game, explaining the loss.

Surprised they didn’t shoot Sammy Davis, Jr. when he opened the window, then claimed they thought that the window latch was a gun.

Unsurprised

They wouldn’t have needed an excuse in 1966.

The Winter classic had a camera being worn by the referee. I’d kill of uncensored audio from that.

If LSU has to forfeit due to not having 11 players due to ejections and UCF wins 2-0 (assuming they don’t have the lead), how would that count in regards to the spread and over/under?

scotchnaut

BECAUSE YOU TOUCH YOURSELF! HAH!

/wait, what?

Targeting! Drink.

Mr. Ayo

Way ahead of you there.

Deep cut.

I get your reference from my reference.

and the unintended reference that neither of us was expecting.

Let me go to the reference section of teh library.
I forget where teh library is….shit.
