JV NFL Sabado Open Thread

Alas, no Lesser Footy (outside the minor league/GAMBLOR realm).  Doggone international breaks make my arse chafe.  But we have a reasonably decent September slate to keep one sane-ish.

Cincinnati (+16) at Theeeee Ohio State (Noon, ABC)

As much as we would all like to see JV WKRP do a thing…I wouldn’t bet on this being competitive after Q1.  But Redshirt will no doubt keep us updated.

Syracuse (+2) at Maryland (Noon, ESPN)

The Orange might be the 2nd best side in the ACC.  Though that might be damning with faint praise, I still think they’re better than B1G cannon fooder like the Turtles.

West By God Virginia (+13.5) at Missouri (Noon, ESPN2)

Another spread I don’t get.  Yes, Fuckers du Cousins looked pretty anemic Week 1, but they didn’t lose to fucking Wyoming (though my GAMBLOR balance appreciated it).  Also, this:

Texas A&M (+17.5) at Clemson (3:30, ABC)

Yes, sadly, Son de Clem is indeed that good.  Even I can’t talk myself into betting Bonfire Cult here.  Depressing.

Nebraska (-4) at Colorado (3:30, Fox)

Ah, the memories of the old Bill McCartney “crips v. bloods” game.  Go watch that 30 FOAR 30 if ya haven’t already.

Illinois (-20.5) at UConn (3:30, CBSSN)

No respect for the Fightin’ Horatios, I tells ya!!

San Diego State (+7.5) at UCLA (4:15, PAC-12)

Chip Kelly is failing so hard in Westwood, it’s hard not to masturbate to it.  Aztecs are always a tough out.

BYU (+3.5) at Tennessee (7:00, ESPN)

Prior to Week 1, this looked like a pretty good matchup.  Now, Team Big Love gets to feel the vengeance of a Vols squadron that’s mighty embarrassed.  Seriously, Georgia Fucking State??

LSU (-6.5) at Texas (7:30, ABC)

Look, I hate Steer Fuckers South as much as anyone.  But last weekend showed us that no non-Alabama SEC PAWWWWLLLLL side out to be laying points on the road to a legitimate opponent.

Arkansas (+6.5) at Ole Miss (7:30, SECN)

I will end up watching lots of Pig Sooey/Johnny Reb.  FOAR REASONS (see banner pic).

Cal (+13.5) at Washington (10:30, FS1)

Nap strategically, they’s two interesting tweaker matchups.  The Golden Shower Bears are always a weird team, and UW is replacing lots of talent.  At home, they should still pull it out (PHRASING!).

Stanford (line pending) at Southern Cal (10:30, ESPN)

This was more intriguing before Troi Boiz’ QB done had his leg tore off, but it’s highly likely they have another dude MOAR capable than whatever shitmonkey the Trees trot out.  Plus, quality pervert times.

Army has no chance in OT with that offence, right?

Mr. Ayo

You mean Michigan has no chance in OT with that offence, right?

Spur

Told you. it was too far.

Spur

Does the kicker get promoted if he makes it?

Mr. Ayo

His discharge papers are currently being processed for disrespecting the Troops.

Spur

Code Red tonight for that kicker

herodotus450

HA! Army kicker’s notable accomplishment: has never kicked a field goal.

Mr. Ayo

There’s always a first time!

Spur

He’s gonna miss.

Mr. Ayo

Blair Walsh isn’t even watching.

scotchnaut

I’ve never said this before. “C’mon Army!”

herodotus450

Army is doing it!

Spur

bogged down in some shithole ?

herodotus450

Well, Ann Arbor…

SonOfSpam

Maryland’s 4th string (assuming) white running back (named Jake Funk) just went 80 yards on 3 plays.

1) Really good name, especially for a cracker.
b) Syracuse might not be good.

Mr. Ayo

Is Syracuse not playing zone? Even booger picking coach wouldn’t give up a 60 burger.

SonOfSpam

Carmelo still has 3 years’ eligibility left, just saying.

scotchnaut

Army’s D is great at penetrating.

herodotus450

MOAD

Mr. Ayo

Short answer. No.

Mr. Ayo

Harbs is the current coach. I’m saying he’s done now.

Mr. Ayo

Unpossible.

herodotus450

OSU-Cin announcers just laying in to Antonio Brown. “Diva wide receivers don’t win super bowls. Antonio Brown isn’t worth the trouble.” Not even trying to sugar coat it. Then they just caaaaaasually mention that Mike Mayock is an old colleague and friend of theirs.

SonOfSpam

Wasn’t Santonio Holmes kind of a diva?

herodotus450

Well one of the announcers is Dan Orlovsky, so he probably doesn’t think that catch is very impressive, closeness-to-the-out-of-bounds-line-wise.

SonOfSpam

“He didn’t even get a foot out before he caught the ball.”

herodotus450

“Lavert Hill,” French for “The green fields of France.”

scotchnaut

Me: “I don’t feel like running today. Tell you what, I’ll give you $20 to run for me.”

Son: “Nope.”

Me: “You know, you get your laziness from your mother’s side of the family.”

Son: “Wha…”

scotchnaut

Btw, I ended up going running, thinking I’ll just put in 20 minutes and that’ll be it. Lo and behold the legs felt great and I shaved 6 minutes off my best time for the specific route that I ran. This is why you should always force yourself to exercise when you don’t want to.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I am currently in an argument with the Dr. Mrs. because the “service engine soon” light in her car came on and I am arguing that it is probably because the car is literally at the exact mileage for the next scheduled oil change. She is not satisfied with this explanation.

Mr. Ayo

But you’re right. #StaySingle my friends.

scotchnaut

Does the Doctor have an alternate theory?

bk109

Ehm, you can get yourself an OBD-2 reader from Amazon, lol. They’re literally a couple of bucks and are invaluable for preventative maintenance (and error ID). I personally have one in each car I own, lol, and I iz one happy camper 😀

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I already did that at Autozone yesterday. We tried to read it three separate times and it wouldn’t give a code. The cashier was like “Check engine soon light? Your mechanic probably set it to trip for an oil change or something.” She witnessed the whole thing, and emerged saying “that guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

bk109

That’s the thing, lol – if it doesn’t show an error immediately (errors are retained until they’ve been cleared even if it’s been resolved), then it’s just the service interval coming up. I’ve had that happen to me on basically every car I’ve own, lol (in fact I had it on the RS7 last week, but I reset it after replacing the oil). You can easily check by googling the interval reset procedure for your car, lol.

Spur

I miss Brady Hoke. ‘Member that time he killed his QB?

Spur
scotchnaut

Army up? Oh my.

herodotus450

They just threw an interception at the 5, instead of scoring a touchdown to go up 21-7.

Spur

Should have called in the Air Force for that throw.

scotchnaut

Some teams just can’t stand success.

herodotus450

All downhill since they put up that “Mission Accomplished” banner at halftime.

scotchnaut

Did anyone wander over to their fantasy site and pick up Tyrell Williams?

Spur

scotchnaut

Announcer: “Can Syracuse get the stop?”

Me: “That is an excellent question.”

Mr. Ayo

“Can Syracuse get A stop?”

JustStopDude

Just stop…. He’s already dead!

Mr. Ayo

Wait, Oakland made 300k out of this AB deal?

herodotus450

It was all just an elaborate tax evasion plan

Spur

No wonder Trump begged for a franchise

herodotus450

“Wait, these guys get 300+ Million every year for just existing? And then they made a rule prohibiting themselves from spending that much paying their players? Who do I have to bribe to get in on that.”

bk109

Actually possible, lol. Apparently the 1mil signing bonus was tied to his attendance of practices, so when you figure the fine money into it and… well.. hiliarity ensues

Spur

Michigan let Army throw +10 yard pass on them.

bk109

the army… throw a forward pass… Mate, you should probably switch to coffee now, ’cause you’re hallucinating 😀

Spur

scotchnaut

Sillycuse taking a pounding.

tomsellecksmoustache

Damn Maryland.

JustStopDude

Hit the over at the start of the second half…

bk109

Btw, is there anywhere in the rulebook specifically spelled out that one’s pass rush can’t be using exoskeleton suits donated by Boston Dynamics in lieu of the more normal pads? Just asking for a friend 😉

litre_cola

No CTE here, no sir.comment image

bk109

Problem with the CTE narrative is that CBSSports and PFT have run quick jaunts through his “colourful” past, where the leitmotif’s always been “Yah, he’s been an asshole since day 1″… Doesn’t hurt to have himself checked at this point, tho. If for nothing else, to raise his capital a bit, because I am just not seeing people lining up to sign him for the money he thinks he’s entitled to… If anything, the price that Oakland paid to trade for him is a good gauge on how many potential suitors he may have, lol

scotchnaut

This Brown saga reminds me of the time Frank Thomas left the White Sox after 15 years. A very candid team rep. said, “Thank god he’s finally gone. You’ve no idea how bad it was behind the scenes.” If memory serves there was a non-stop parade of agents, consultants and family members walking into various team official’s offices complaining about things as petty as another teammate getting positive press in the paper.

Spur

Did Hippo get in on this HOT Army +22.5 action?

scotchnaut

You’re only human. How could you possibly resist?

scotchnaut

Thing is, the Cuse qb has okay numbers but the D sucks balls.

Redshirt

That tremor in the Force you all just felt. That was me. Sorry about that.

JustStopDude

Damn that was hell of a fart…

scotchnaut

Forces pulling from the center of the earth again?

JustStopDude

Wow… What an offensive game by MD… They should be proud…. Wait… It’s only the second half… What the fuck?!?!

Spur

Dame, who did Maryland sacrifice to gain these skills ?

herodotus450

We’ve replaced Michigan with Iraq’s Imperial Guard, let’s see if anyone notices….

Redshirt

BWHAHAHAHAHHA!

Spur

herodotus450

ppl forget last year’s Madden cover:
comment image

bk109

Not really, no, lol. The title song was about as horrid as well with the delightfully ironic refrain of
Please, somebody stop me
Stop me, stop me
Oh, somebody stop me
And Lord if i’m doing it wrong then please stop me

… Guess what, sunshine, you stopped yerself 😀

JustStopDude

Jesus Christ… The Terps are still scoring…

Spur

Looks like there is a Sikh Army candidate. Nice.

herodotus450

Hey, there are other teams in the big 10 besides Maryland.

Redshirt

Well, now that Ohio State has this game in hand, I’m going to watch some porn.

(switches to Michigan losing to Army)

Spur

Fuck Urban Meyer.

Senor Weaselo

I really don’t want to.

Redshirt

Oh, good. UC’s QB just broke his shoulder and now are sending a Freshman against Ohio State.

Spur

BUSH PUSH

Spur

Ohio State puffing their chests while they beat up on subpar teams, cupcakes if you will.

herodotus450

Yeah who do they think they are, Tennessee?

scotchnaut

Cupcake Wars!

Redshirt

Yup, this ones over.

JustStopDude

Thought experiment…. How far back would we have to go back in time, with the best current college team…say Bama… And play against that year’s superbowl winner, and the college Boys win?

They play NFL rules, but the college kids have their training gear, and their coaches….

Today Alabama slaughters the 72 Dolphins right? Like not even close. Or am I crazy?

herodotus450

Plus, most of that 72 Dolphins team is dead.

JustStopDude

I mean we got atime machine. We are taking the Alabama team back in time…

scotchnaut

Cool. Do you think Huey Lewis has one more hit in him?

JustStopDude

I hear oxy is a new drug…

Redshirt

I just want the Alabama Hurricanes to play the ’85 Bears or the ’70s Steel Curtain.

Spur

Army will run left, up the middle or right here. – Magic
