Weeeeeeeee’ve Got A Diamond…In JOE BIDEN! Saturday Open Thread

Editor’s Note:  Balls did not write this.  King Hippo did, but there was a scheduling error and this is our half-ass way of fixing it.  Sue us in Federal Court, if you want.

Yes, you can safely call him President-Elect Biden now.  Sen. Kamala Harris will be the first woman (and first person of coloUr) to serve as Vice President.  Better late than fucking never.

As the November sun breaks through the clouds, here is your Lesser Footy/JV NFL viewer’s guide.

Wake up bright y early for United’s visit to Goodison Park (7:30, NBCSN).  Which side is more in freefall?  Everton will lack the talismanic service of Richarlison one last match.  So don’t expect much scoring from the royal blues.  All one has to do is concentrate defensive resources on Dominic Calvert-Lewin.  Not that United have been much good at that, recently.

Leeds go to Palace (10:00, NBCSN) is the epitome of a contrast in stylesUncle Woy wants to bore you to sleep, Marcelo Bielsa wants to piss in your face for 90 minutes.  Contrasts are part of what make the Premiership so much fucking fun.

Team Knifey are away to Chelski and Tory Cunt Frank Lampard (12:30, NBC).  For a spotlight dance, this sure smells like a hiding.  I recommend JV NFL.  As is the case with the horrid stream-only late show (3:00, Peacock).  It is a Fronk/Litre Derby, though.  SEND BOOZE/WEED.

Michigan (-3.5) at Indiana (Noon, FS1)

Know why the Wolverines are favoUred?  Name brand is really the only justification.  Lesser Harbs would be facing the sack, but they might just hilariously run down his contract, even at the cost of a null set recruiting class.

West By God Virginia (+6) at Texas (Noon, ABC)

Steerfuckers Sout\h are overrated, every single year.  Fuckers du Cousins?  They just show up and hit you in the mouth.  Or they slip on their own shit/piss/vomit.  Big Twaaalve always entertains.

Florida (+3) v. Georgia (3:30, CBS)

World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party!  Man, that would be hard to socially distance.  Fortunately, Gov. DeSantis ain’t believe in no fake news, libtard, Moooooooslim virus like #NuAIDS.  Be a REAL SHAME if he contracted it.

Vanderbilt (+19) at Mississippi State (3:30, SECN)

I like matches like this, because I am sick/mean.  Not sure that Cowbells could score 20+ against an empty field.  Unless away to LSU, obviously.  Dread Pirate Leach will eventually get that thing turned around, though.

Oklahoma State (-12.5) at Kansas State (4:00, Fox)

Yeah, I get it.  BDSM State will be pissed off at losing their undefeated season.  But hasn’t anyone considered…they’s just not very good?  I mean, like every fucking season?  As always, LOVE the Unded Bill Snyders as a huge dog, especially at home.

UCLA (-6) at Colorado (7:00, ESPN2)

Apparently, the Buffs are starting a converted safety at QB.  And I still bet they beat Balls’ lot.  Chip Kelly can eat shit, now and forever.

Clemson (-5.5) at Notre Dame (7:30, NBC)

Look, I get it.  We all hate both these monkeycunt squadrons.  But assuming you want only ONE of them in the playoffs (with Roll Damn Tide and tOSU pretty much written in the stone), you better root for the Tiggers.  Hey, at least they has a Black QB now!

Stanford (+8.5) at Oregon (7:30, ABC)

Lookit all this West Coast action!  Contrasting styles, JV NFL edition.  Let’s see if the Trees can bounce back from a horrid 2019.

Washington State (+3) at Oregon State (10:30, FS1)

Not only do we welcome back the Tweaker Fixture ™, but we get some Niiiiiiiice Beaver!  And they’re even favoUred!  Enjoy.

Balls Note: If everyone is not tuned in to FS1 for the Cougars trying to lick the Beavers, we might as well shut this site down.

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

If you don’t keep the Trump 2020 Fuck Your Feelings flags flying from your dumb boat forever, you’re a cuck. Sorry, those are the rules.

I’m not getting the Indianabanana game. This doesn’t bode well for the Biden presidency.

King Hippo

Better Ask a Brocky:

Has Indiana FITBAW ever beat Paedo State and Meechigan in same season?

Brocky

lemme check ……

probably but i haven’t always been super into it.

I saw a bunch of disappointing IU football games during my time at campus, never got tickets to games with high profile programs.

just IU football last year felt like a validation for keeping the faith

John Adams used his one term to create the Navy. Trump used his to create the Space Force, so they’re pretty even Id say.

scotchnaut

If the latter had an ounce of creativity “The Space Navy” would be a reality. Galleons and Junks, oh my!

Dear Trump Cult,

This may sound dickish but I mean it sincerely: I hope you’re someday able to find joy in something. Constant anger and contempt for everyone and everything who doesn’t measure up to your impossible standards is no way to live.

TheRevanchist

I just had a bowl of Cheerios. I think it counts. Quite healthy for me compared to the big breakfast burrito I want to go get.

herodotus450

(Scouring Wikipedia for more faux-intellectual joke fodder)

The election was set apart by unpleasant mudslinging and shameful allegations that eclipsed substantive issues, for example, civil administration change.

Ahh, the good old days of 1884.

Gratliff

Didn’t they used to accuse each other of cannibalism and shit in the early 1800’s? The idea that there was ever a more civil time was an illusion

herodotus450

They/we used to fucking murder people in public, by cutting open guts and stuffing testicles into mouths, for entertainment. Which is also the fate I wish on people who opine about “the good old days”

They won’t do anything substantively different from Trump. Biden couldn’t even maintain his support for a mask mandate for a day.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

FACT CHECK: FALSE

King Hippo

The fundamental decency of this President-Elect…is such a welcome contrast.

Gratliff

I’m gonna need Betsy to climb on to one of her yachts and disappear into the horizon. It may just be because she so directly affects my day-to-day life, but I still feel like she was the single worst piece of a just god-awful administration.

I’d like that yacht to then capsize and she gets eaten alive by a shark.

I’d go 2nd after Stephen Miller. It’s too bad Jews don’t ex-communicate.

As a country, today we’ve defeated tyranny and fascism. This is a great victory and a glorious day!

Gratliff

Well let’s slow down a bit there

SonOfSpam

No, he’s right. Another four years of Cheeto and Barr would’ve done incredible damage to our nation. (Of course, Barr hasn’t been seen in a month and may be dead)

yeah right

I practiced this speech last week when the Vikings beat the Packers.

Gratliff

I agree with all this. However, correct take would be we defeated *a* fascist.

Gratliff

And by “we”, I mean half of us. A lot of people go beyond being okay with America’s brand of fascism, and actively desire it.

SonOfSpam

And we need to put them all in work camps with the final solution being their deaths.

What?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Re-education camps better solution.

Threw on ABC news for a minute since it’s on the same app I was watching anyway, and what a cursed fucking panel that is.

So much talk about the politics here, while all of you are missing what’s really important and rare that’s happening – EA Games actually found a way to make money in a non-scummy way ! We’re finally getting a 4th Mass Effect game (and a proper remaster for 1-3!) 😀

Also, on the poltics side – is it ok for me to be a bit bitter about the result, ’cause I was legit hoping for Al Franken to get the nod (before he got railroaded I mean) instead of Biden?

Gratliff

A Democrat just won the presidency, so it’s time for half the country to act super concerned about the deficit

Viva La Tabula Raza

Lindsey Graham is already on the record with this very issue.

Gratliff

Nothing as predictable as federal politics

Unsurprised

No one tell the wife, but her decision to make my life hell with the bathrooms was actually a good thing, ’cause basically all the pipes so far have been ticking time bombs and one may’ve actually been low-key legit burst (with the fun question of “if it was burst, where the fuck did it leak to” hanging over my head) XD

Also, Hippo, thanks for yer assist with ManUre, but I’d have been happy with just the draw y’know

Edit: I think this is as good an excuse as any to buy me a proper boroscope kit from Bosch (maybe a FLIR as well), right?

for anyone reading this, my father and grandfather spent the majority of their adult lives in either maitence or upkeep of some kind:

take care of your shit in fall. dont wait till next spring. if it goes tits up in the dead of winter you wont be able to get a quick appointment because most plumbers and heaters will be busy with other calls, and 9 times out of ten itd gonna be you freezing your ass off in the garage or in the basement trying to fix it.

and when spring does roll around you’ll be dragging your feet because it’ll still feel too cold and be basically winter, then june hits and you want to go outside. take care of your shit, bite the cost or you’ll pay more in the long run

bk109

I concur – it’s never a smart idea nor a cheap solution to punt even non-essential repairs into the nebulous future. Also, working construction in high school pays off as more than just a motivator to go into IT, ’cause contractor rates are FUCKING INSANE year-round 😀
