So Much #NuAIDS, So Little Game Time Open Thread

So…not sure that the JV world is looking so hot right now.  Almost as many fixtures being 86’d this week as are being played.  And that doesn’t even begin to touch on the hardwood shitshow.

Good thing all Commentists in Good Standing have converted to the sweet siren song of Lesser Footy, eh?

Villa away to Wolves (7:30, Peacock) is pretty solid fare, for the early bird slot.  Come for the Portugeuse Hobo manager, stay for me and Litre screaming about how much of a cunt Jack Grealish is!

Barcodes and Brummies are up next (10:00, Peacock), and Hippo humbly suggests a nap.  Man, a multi-nap day is just proper good Plague Year livin!

Spotlight Dance lives up to its name this week, with the Manchester Derby (12:30, NBC).  A bit of extra spice added by how badly each beleagured manager could use a signature win.  Phrases like “signature win” are poison to British ears, but methinks am safe here.

Let’s try not to linger on Everton’s fixture with noted Tory Cunt Frank Lampard (3:00, Peacock).  All the “yeeehaw, lookit Chelski’ Murrikan player” certainly will make my mood that much darker.  But I will let the “action” on the pitch carry most of the rage freight.  Jeebus, being on piss poor form is ass-flvoUred ass.

Georgia (-14) at Missouri (Noon, SECN)

Do not adjust your non-dials, Mizzou IS actually ranked!  I suspect they either win, or get their asses handed to them.  FOAR reasons.

Utah (+2.5) at Colorado (Noon, Fox)

This here match is being held at 10am local time.  It’s actually NINE by Team Secular Big Love’s body clocks, but one expects they are likely MOAR effective morning persons than Boulder’s midnight tokers.

Navy (+7.5) v. Army (3:00, CBS)

No stand-alone time slot, wonder if they even bother reporting the TV ratings?  At least they didn’t fuck the Military Industrial Complex off to CBSSN.

Wisconsin (-2) at Iowa (3:30, FS1)

Hey, y’all?  Ah see fat ppl!

Cal (-1.5) at Washington State (4:00, Fox)

Yes, this is just an excuse to post their cheerleaders again.  I’m not made of stone!!

USC (-3.5) at UCLA (7:30, ABC)

You know it’s FITBAW in Los Angeles, because nobody gives a tin shit.  Fat Chip seems to have saved his Westwood Klavern bacon, which is most unfortunate.

Stanford (-3) at Oregon State (10:00, ESPNU)

How can fucking Trees be favoUred against a pack of Beavers?  It makes no fucking sense.

Anybody else staying up late, plowing through work with crappy tv on in the background and drinking good scotch hobo style?

Unsurprised

No. I’m procrastinating instead like an asshole.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yeah but the hobo style is fair game no matter what

litre_cola

I am up at 5 am and contemplating doing some work. Just Baileys though.

Gumbygirl

I made a wild rice soup with sweet potatoes, carrots,onions,celery, and collard greens in homemade veggie broth. When it was amalgamated and consolidated, I threw in a can of coconut milk. Hippie heaven!

yeah right

I made a vegan sauce.

I Know!

Roasted red peppers and onions what are you gonna do?

Maybe some chicken parm up in this hizzY?

Got that.

Did he fight hard or did you get him into the pot pretty easy? I assume they’d be easy to take down.

Gumbygirl

Noodle armed from the lack of protein. All you have to do is give that man bun a yank and they jump right in the kettle!

yeah right

The neck. They always give up the neck.

JerBear50

That’s cuz they ignore Wu Tang at their own peril.

Gumbygirl

Chicken parm…yes!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’ll take some.

Unsurprised

It’s weird how many movies I scroll past that I used to love but can’t watch for reasons that come down to being various shades of “too sad.”

yeah right
JerBear50

Woof. Hope Tony Ferguson wasn’t wanting to use that arm any time soon. Evening gents and Zymms.

ballsofsteelandfury

JerBear!! Long time no see!

JerBear50

Still pop in from time to time, but yeah, it’s been a bit. I tend to get on too late when the clubhouse is already passed out.

Tomorrow’s headlines in Gainesville: DAS BOOT!

Unsurprised

Anything to see Florida suffer.

herodotus450

LSU’s patent pending Prevent defense: gives up 50 yards on three plays in 25 seconds to set up the tieing field goal.

Unsurprised

The Orgeron Special

“Amateurs” — Gregg Williams

With the fog and this being 2020, I’m waiting for this to end of a field goal attempt that the referees lose track of in the fog.

Okay, with the fog, it look like he’s kicking into the ship from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Timeout? Well, I guess with Trump trying to prolong the election, Florida is still in election-night-mode.

SonOfSpam

Well shit.

36-35 USC with 8 minutes left.

Unsurprised

They’ll blow it.

herodotus450

Reidian time out management by LSU here, it seems.

herodotus450

Not sure if this game is foggy, my stream quality is 240p, or the glaucoma has finally set in.

WCS

It can be three things!

Mr. Ayo

And a shoe throwing foul! Whacky!

Is that an Illegal Forward Pass or Illegal Kick?

Mr. Ayo

I don’t get it. If you name a game football, wouldn’t throwing a shoe be part of the game?

herodotus450

Denver Broncos Quarteredback coach: “Is that guy available?”

Redshirt

LSU: “They shouldn’t throw it deep. No one can see the passes in the fog.”
Fans: “They shouldn’t throw it deep. No one can see the passes in the fog.”
Florida: “Fuck it, we’re throwin’ it deep. Thrice!”

Unsurprised

Rex Grossman’s Force ghost floats above the stadium, smiling.

Went for a 4.5 mile walk today but felt like a trick hit me in the afternoon so “laid down for a little while” which turned into a 3 hour nap. Still feel exhausted.

Redshirt

Either fog is descending onto Gainesville or Florida is being sucked back into the abyss of which it came.

(crosses fingers for the latter)

herodotus450

It’s the ghost of Andrew Jackson, trying to give Florida back to Spain/France or whoever he stole it form.

Unsurprised

Seminoles?

SonOfSpam

WOOO 69 yard Bruins TD! NICE!!!!

blaxabbath

I want to produce hallmark movies. That’s my dream job.
