Your Saturday Evening “Ruck Over!” Open Thread

I hope you’ve enjoyed staying up late / waking up early to watch the Rugby World Cup LIVE! from Japan.

The Russians needn’t have bothered getting out of bed.

Having attended the Rugby World Sevens last year in San Francisco, I can only imagine the bacchanalia. BeerBrother, who works for a Japanese company, said that all travel to head office has been suspended for the month because the costs are too high given the tourism. And as a gaijin working for an American subsidiary, he didn’t qualify for executive tickets. I say good thing, because the nightmare fuel that are the mascots

are enough to ward off going there until the tournament’s over & they’re put to sleep.

Don’t forget to check out Rikki’s award-shadowed 2019 World Cup Preview. It’s chock-full of stats & enough secret links to hardcore anime to keep anyone interested & occupied for hours.

Satisfaction may vary.

Just leaving this here, when the Washington State Cougars blow a game, the term is “To Coug It.” Up 49-17 in the 3rd quarter at home was peak Coug.

ballsofsteelandfury

Pornhub search term?

Hi. Went to a party tonight with people I worked with at Disneyland in the 1980s. We are old and drunk.

And UCLA is the best team in the country.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Nine scores and you still lose? Sounds like a gangbang on epsteins Island

Unsurprised

/HUMS HAIL TO THE CHIEF

Unsurprised

I don’t know what’s worse for Wissou. Leaving UCLA more than enough time for another score, or having to remain in Pullman.

ALXMAC

Yes.

What video game wizardry is this? WA ST leads UCLA 63-60….with 4 mins left in regulation?

Just home from the Stone Temple Pilots concert. They fucking kicked ass. Not Scott Weiland was impressive, and the rest of the band is still absolutely incredible. The warm-up act, Rival Sons, thinks they are a rock band, when, in fact, they’re an average jam band. Wifey astutely pointed out their singer is a cheap knock-off of Steven Tyler.

I’m more than happy to do a Boots on the Ground write-up, if there is interest.

Horatio Cornblower

Steven Tyler is a cheap knock-off of Steven Tyler.

Seriously Tyler, wrap it up.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Liv Tyler has become a cheap knock-off of Steven Tyler, unfortunately.
That chick has gone batshit.

“I don’t think this ends Notre Dame’s play-off hopes…”

No shit asshole, we all know how TV ratings work.

So, you’re saying Cris Collinsworth told you how cheat?

Col. Duke LaCross

So, Colorado girl let me know today that she’s holding off from drinking for awhile. And I offered to join her in sobriety in solidarity. So am I an idiot, or the biggest idiot who ever idioted?

Viva La Tabula Raza

I don’t know where you are located in relation to sober Colorado lady, but if you are getting some good mogambo out of this deal, it’s probably not a bad deal. If you are far away, you can say you are not drinking and still drink, as long as you don’t drunk-dial her.

I am not a person to whose advice you should listen under any circumstances.

Col. Duke LaCross

About 400 miles away. And I don’t trust myself to not drunk dial or text.

Horatio Cornblower

Look, I’m not in your shoes or your situation. All I did was read your post about your one (1) actual physical meeting with this girl. Based on this, and based on my own experiences with women who are not her, and as a person who is not you, I would politely and quickly excuse myself from the situation and run silent, run deep, but definitely run away.

But, and I must stress this, this is your relationship. It has nothing to do with a bunch of invisible people on the internet with whom you occasionally discuss football and make dick jokes with. You are the one who has talked with her, you are the one who has met her, you are the one who has seen how she acted during the one and only time you were together. It is more than obvious that there are red flags all over the place with her. If you go forward with this you do so knowing what you face, Only you can say whether or not that risk, and hoo boy are there risks, are worth it to you.

I will say that any further contact with her should be on your home turf, or at a minimum on her turf but well away from her current crowd. Based on your story those people are flat out dangerous and to be avoided.

Vaya con Dios, my man.

Why no intercept, Adimora?

OK, you have redemption, young man.

Sad Notre Dame fans realizing that their team has been grossly overrated will never not make me giggle.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Burn Baby Burn.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Nice tackling UT! WTF!?!?!

Horatio Cornblower

Hey folks, I am lit up like a Xmas tree, just returned from directing a horseshoes tournament where I had to issue rulings for and against various drunk rednecks and I’m still safer than a student assistant taping a Notre Dame practice in high winds…HOW THE FUCK YOU DOIN’????

Viva La Tabula Raza

Hey, I’m drunk too! Welcome aboard, shipmate!

Horatio Cornblower

Thanks!!

Hi Horatio! I harvested all my weed today! I am celebrating by drinking an unremarkable Trader Joe’s Oktoberfest.

Outstanding news RTD. I am hoisting one of these in your honor, although if I’m being honest I was probably gonna do it anyway.

I really, really like Fromm as an NFL prospect.

Viva La Tabula Raza

GO FOR IT UT!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Gives me a stiffy that a cat couldn’t scratch. Not just a Blue-Veiner, I mean a Diamond-Cutter.

herodotus450

Well these two games went from interesting to over pretty fast.

King Hippo

WHAT A FUCKING CATCH, especially dragging the back leg like that

herodotus450

I think calling that timeout was an even worse time management decision by Brian Kelly than the first half debacle.

Viva La Tabula Raza

This Jameson’s is not bad. Maybe I’ll try some more Irish at some point, maybe some Bushmill’s.

King Hippo

oh God, NEVAR mix brown liquors, especially after 40

Viva La Tabula Raza

Oh no, I did not mean at one sitting. Never will I cross the streams!!!

Horatio Cornblower

You cannot drink Protestant whisky and Catholic whisky in one sitting man, you’ll create another schism!!!

Viva La Tabula Raza

As an averred atheist, that is my aim.

Connemara for the lightly peated

herodotus450

Real relatable references by the CBS crew to Joe Theisman, fucking 40 years ago.

King Hippo

and how the media used to be somehow even MOAR in the tank for the Domers

herodotus450

I’ve NEVER seen/heard announcers blatantly, explicitly calling for a penalty on a team for their players going down with an injury. CBS-bois are harping on it two times now against ND.

King Hippo

Brian Kelly team unsportsmanlike? That’s un-possible!!
