#NuAIDS Takes Over Bleak JV Schedule – Sabado Open Thread

Good morning, fellow degenerates.  Or should I say “bad morning” – given they’s no Lesser Footy to be had.  Good thing Hippo still has his Footy Manager career, chuh chuh!

You’ve also seen 13 of this week’s fixtures – including LSU/Bama – called off for #NuAIDS reasons.  Needless to say, this seems like a harbinger of doom for the playoffs.  Yes, even at the Varsity level.

Here’s the thought that trikes me – playoff “bubbles” make some sense, especially with 7 teams making el torneo from each conference.  You could have Wild Card, Bitches! weekend as usual.  Then, skip a week to get everyone checked into the Conference bubble – hosted by the #1 seeds.

From there, if you don’t have a second NFL-calibre stadium near-ish by, you could perhaps stagger the fixtures a bit (to allow for field maintenance).  Maybe even one each on Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues.  Then, skip another week (so as not to disadvantage Tuesday’s winner) until Conference Title weekend.  I mean, is that really so hard?

You could also delay the JV playoffs for those off weeks in the revised NFL schedule.  Anyway, to me, that makes too much sense to actually happen.  Oh well.

Indiana (-7) at Michigan State (Noon, ABC)

2020 in a nutshell?  Hoosiers going into East Lansing as a full touched down favourite.  They have looked legit when I have seen them play, unlike Sparty.

Vanderbilt (+17) at Kentucky (Noon, SECN)

Almost no MEANS MOAR games remain on the schedule, yet this one is still too sad to move to CBS.  Or even ESPN2.

Southern Cal (+14) at Arizona (3:30, Fox)

Welcome to the Coalition for the Enlightenment, Arizonans!  Still, Bear Down FOAR Midterms is likely in for a Troi Boiz hiding.  Don’t that sound sexy??

Colorado (+7) at Stanford (3:30, ESPN)

I don’t get this line at all.  The Buffs looked at least like a competent (on offense, anyway), the Trees still look like ded, stacked lumber.

Northwestern (-2.5) at Purdue (5:00, BTN)

Both these squadrons are unbeaten.  I have nothing else to say.

Oregon (-10) at Washington State (7:00, Fox)

Might this fixture be trickier than expected for Quack Attack?  Dread Pirate Mike Leach might not have left the cupboard completely empty, after all.  I mean, gotta watch somethin.’

Florida State (+10.5) at NC State (7:30, ACCN)

Oooooh, looky.  Bonus game, with Purdue moving earlier in the day!  Read all about Hippo’s hatred of Florida here.

Cal (+4) at Arizona State (10:30, ESPN)

Golden Shower Bears finally kick their season off.  Who knows how shitty they’ll be?  But Tempe without coeds to perv upon.  So sad.

UPDATE – CANCELLED!  Just two much #NuAIDS.

Oregon State (+13.5) at Washington (11:00, FS1)

This late enough for y’all, tweakers???

By the way, a quick IT PSA to all of yus ahead of the Christmas shopping season:
If you’re buying yourself or someone close to you a non-gaming machine – buy a business grade machine (ie Dell Latitude or a Thinkpad T-series) – those (unlike mass market units) are still built tough enough to survive long past their warranty period and tend to be actually properly cooled, so they run cooler and quieter as well…
As for gaming machines go with a Clevo reseller, because you get good bang for your buck and you can upgrade those fuckers down the line and you’re not paying the Razer/Alienware idiot tax 😉

Game Time Decision

This. Spend the money to make it last longer than a few weeks

bk109

Or longer, lol – my dad’s daily driver’s a T420 which is pushing 10 years old, but with a couple of cheap updates (more RAM and SSDs) it’s still as fast for normal use as midrange new -U chips (and still have almost 10 hours of battery)… Unlike the 2 newer laptops he chose for himself without my input, which died quick and painful deaths as my dad (to put it really midly) REALLY hammers those keyboard.

Business-grade DELLs and Lenovos fit that bill, lol. But in that particular case I was with a not-too-recent Clevo, but at least it could survive without throttling too much in those temps (even when playing the NFS:HP remake)

but seriously, the … let’s be generous and call it “joke” was to suggest poles and then Ryan Johnson yer expectations and point out that I was talking utility poles. Inititially I was going to go with “your mom’s so old, she ‘members when phone and power lines were on poles”, but then I discarded that, ’cause underground utilities are only really NOW becoming the norm.

Also, I don’t make stripper pole jokes, because I have a distaste for that sort of establishment (ditto massage parlours and shit like that)

Hey herodotus, you should use your magical powers to convince the Red Wings to sign Anthony Duclair. He’ll give you a solid 15 games of production which should help with your team’s multi-year tank.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The cheerleader you should hit on at a bar really stands out in the banner picture, doesn’t she?

Horatio Cornblower

Yes, especially if you’re a Furry.

ballsofsteelandfury

She’ll probably hit on you.

Dunstan

I’m breaking down the scenario like an NFL coach in the film room.

Going from left to right (and excluding the mascot):

You or your wingman needs to approach #1 or #5 first. They’re the friendliest and least likely to shoot you down.

#3 is the designated driver. If nobody pays her enough attention, she’s going to start jingling her car keys and suggesting to her friends that this bar sucks and it’s time to go. If you’ve got a friend who’s not trying to pick up (either because he has a girlfriend or just doesn’t give a shit), he needs to engage her in conversation.

#4 is definitely down to fuck, but there’s a good chance that she’ll either be going home with the bartender or getting waaaay too drunk, so in the end #2 is your best chance.

Yes, I spent way too much time thinking about this. And during my bar-hopping days, my record was closer to Adam Gase than Bill Belichek. (Though really, I usually played the role of the guy who kept #3 busy. And usually, the #3s are about 50 pounds heavier and much surlier than this one.)

ballsofsteelandfury

This analysis is spot on.

Spent the morning at the ER after my knee blasted me out of bed with increasing pain. Red, swollen, (hey, it’s a pornhub search term!), couldn’t bend it enough to put my pants on like a normal person.

Turns out its bursitis, and my somewhat unofficial welcome to Middle Age.

Anyway, at least for the next couple of days I’ll have an excuse to keep my ass as lazy as possible.

Horatio Cornblower

Motrin and Keflex, the latter just in case it’s cellulitis. Nothing good, I’m afraid.

Awww that sucks. Hope its better soon

scotchnaut

Given your line of work, I’m surprised the other knee isn’t hurting as well.

/POW! ZINGO! ZONK!

Dunstan

couldn’t bend it enough to put my pants on like a normal person”

I can relate.

yeah right

Hopefully the keflex helps with the infection. The good news is you shouldn’t require surgery unless the bursa sack burst. RICE is your friend.

Horatio Cornblower

No bursting, just a lot of fluid. Had my first ultrasound, so I told my wife that between that and the pain I know what childbirth feels like and she told me to fuck off.

Unsurprised

Did they at least have the decency to drain some of it?

Gumbygirl

That happened to Gumby’s elbow. It was…not good.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m sorry for laughing at the idea of a guy called Gumby suffering from a joint-related injury.

Gumbygirl

Ha, that never occurred to me! Our last name is basically Gumby with an extra syllable at the end, hence the nickname. He has damaged pretty much every joint, knees need replacement, arthritis in his fingers, you name it. The man is a red hot mess!

Unsurprised

I had this happen to me when I was in my late 20s (hooray for being fat as fuck my entire life) and holy fuck that hurts, especially trying to walk on it. I hope you feel better soon.

And it’s a damn shame about the lack of painkillers. Where’s Dr. Feelgood or even Dr. Nick when you need them?
