Welcome To First Hangover of 2021! Lesser Footy Thread

Fuck you, wake up already.  That vomit ain’t safe to have during slumber.

We can has Derby!  Fronk’s Hammers (sounds DIRTY!) travel to Fortress Goodison to face Hippo’s Toffees (12:30, NBCSN).  A win would bring Everton to within ONE lousy point of assdicks Liverpool and we must not let Dour (Formerly) Ginger Cunt Moyes spoil that.  I hear tell that Antonio is back, which should add some intrigue for both Fronk and Mrs. Fronk.

Villa (nobody likes those Midlands cunts) are away to Wakey’s Red Devils (3:00, NBCSN) in the late fixture.  Villa are drawing too many of Everton’s “surprise contender” headlines, so extra thunderfuck ’em.  Could be a watchable match, though.

Plenty MOAR tomorrow, plus some lukewarm JV exhibitions!

Millions of Pussies!  Pussies FOAR Me Bowl – Georgia (-9) v. “Not THAT” Cincinnati @ Megatron’s Butthole (Noon, ESPN)

Do you remember that song being so dirty?  Probably depends on how old you were and first considered moving to the country to eat some of the same.  Anyway, Vegas don’t believe in JV Team WKRP against UGA’s 2nd string.  I am sure that feeds the ire of Cincy’s “van down by the river” head coach.

Scurvy Bowl – Auburn (+4) v. Northwestern @ Stade du Mousey Third Reich (1:00, ABC)

Uh…too bad Hippo is on GAMBLOR hiatus, because I’d moneyline the fuck out of War Damn Eagle here.  Betting against the non-tOSU B1G is always a fine idea, especially when you are GETTING the points.

Perhaps there will be a separate Raging Semis post, depending on the level of headache in the rest of Most Glorious Clubhouse.

The Shite-ing Irish!

yeah right

If you haven’t seen “Soul” the new Pixar movie you should correct that.
Outstanding.

Why didn’t Yeti just use Dwight Yoakum’s far superior version of that song? They charge enough for those damn things, they can afford it!

A Drew from (New) Canaan now leading the Catholics!?

Horatio Cornblower

Sounds pretty much like how they got their start.

Beerguyrob

Knowing there’s a Lily/Gadot commercial that I can’t see makes me hate CanCon regulations just a little bit more today.

I think the thing I hate most about Notre Dame is that they are making me root for Alabama. It’s like cheering for the Nazis in “Sophie’s Choice”.

ballsofsteelandfury

Or rooting for the Soviets against the Nazis during WW2 if you were Poland?

Beerguyrob

Pierogis over borscht any day.

Gumbygirl

Now I want pierogies.

yeah right

Jalapeno cornbread?

Jalapeno cornbread!

Beerguyrob

Needs more chili (to dip into).

ballsofsteelandfury

Or to slather on top of…

yeah right

Goddamn. That texture was perfect.
The thing about eating cornbread with your black eyed peas is if you eat it over the bowl of soup it thickens the texture of the soup and holy crap is that fucking delicious.

herodotus450

Mac Jones has the look, name, and position of the villain from an 80s college sex comedy.

yeah right

I found my greens for my New Year’s meal.

I put jalapenos in my cornbread. Take that Grandmommie!

yeah right

Were she still alive Grandmommie’s response would be, this is word for word mind you, “You little shit ass!”

litre_cola

Peak hungover laziness. I just ordered Wendys for delivery from bed at the end of my 2nd nap.

Beerguyrob

Fulham must have won.

litre_cola

Oh no, they got them some of the #nuAIDS.

Recovery Whiskey

Looks like they’re avoiding using Smith as anything now but a decoy.

Edit: until then

Stupid graphics. The gold Down&Distance marker keeps me thinking that a flag was called on the play.

Redshirt

Except for QB or if a playmaker drops down to them, it has to be best OL available. The OL has gotten a little better, but it has to be better if Burrow is gonna last longer than four seasons.

Redshirt

Oh, yeah. I’ve seen his name drop as an option.

If they remain at 5 or 6, one of them may drop to their spot. If both drop, they may have to decide between Fun Decision to Grown Up Decision.

Redshirt

Yeah, but at 5/6 they can’t really trade down to get more picks, unless a QB falls and a team in the 10-20s see a chance to make a move.

Recovery Whiskey

Fitting this game is in Arlington, since Notre Dame’s post-season record for the last 20 years is a lot like the Dallas Cowboys

Horatio Cornblower

Well that’s just not true at all.

Dallas doesn’t get to the post-season nearly as much as Notre Dame.

herodotus450

You don’t have to rub it in their faces.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Thanks for the Wonder Woman/Lily suggestion there, AT & T.

Redshirt

I’ll be in my bunk.

“It’s awfully hot in here under these studio lights, do you mind if I take off my top?”

Redshirt

“No, please. Bring the Lasso.”

Redshirt

Technically its Lily/Gadot, and I can make a decent argument that at that point, its more of “art” than “sexual congress”.

Horatio Cornblower

Gal Gadot in a commercial with AT&T Lily?

SOMEONE GET RIKKI’S MONKEY’S PAW BEFORE IT CAN CURL!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!

ballsofsteelandfury

They’re just trying desperately to avoid a blowout and all the viewers going to watch replays of the Rose Parade.

Horatio Cornblower

I would like to note that UConn is undefeated against Notre Dame football.

Unsurprised

So is the wind

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m no Bama fan, but I LOVE how they tackle and wrap up.

Horatio Cornblower

I follow this account for just such brutality:

UConn: It’s Coming
@NoEscalators

The two saddest moments in a Notre Dame student’s life are when they open an admissions decision from an Ivy League school and when ND plays in a meaningful college football game

herodotus450

Teams shouldn’t even get timeouts until the second and fourth quarters.

yeah right

I’m going on record and saying that the Northwestern coach is going to get an NFL job. I’d run through a goddamn wall for that man.

Gumbygirl

They were great this year.

yeah right

Holy shit that would be perfect but I don’t want good things for the Bears because fuck them.

Redshirt

Agreed. Northwestern went from Working Bye Week to Force to be Reckoned With.

Gumbygirl

Homecoming opponent.

Redshirt

All due respect, but I’m rooting for the empire in this game, because Notre Dame losing big will cheer me up after Cincinnati made their bed and then explosively diarrheaed on it.

Horatio Cornblower

I’m not a fan of ‘Bama, but it’s never wrong to root against Brian Kelly or Notre Dame.

Gumbygirl

I lived in Birmingham for so long I got indoctrinated in the cult. Even though I went to Georgia! And UAB.

Redshirt

Perfectly understood. I wasn’t even a huge Ohio State football fan when I first went to Ohio State. Then I went to Freshman Orientation and I walked out with a love for Buckeyes football, an unexplained hatred of everything Michigan, and an acceptance of going in tens of thousands of dollars in debt.

Gotta give them credit though. I saw no flashing lights or spinning spirals, and I didn’t drink anything.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Ohioans are still pissed off that they only ended up with the Toledo Strip while Michigan got the whole Upper Peninsula. Never been there, but I bet it’s whole lot prettier than fucking Toledo.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Or Papists, for that matter.

Gumbygirl

My Aunt Mary was on the board of regents at ND for years. She may still be, even though she’s senile AF.

Unsurprised

That’s would make her perfect for them.

ArmedandHammered

I would have thought it was a requirement.

Viva La Tabula Raza

They should have moved the game to Tyler, TX, if they were going to keep the Rose Bowl name.comment image

Notre Dame has no business being in this game

I just got up. Is Notre Dame already down 10?

Gumbygirl

14

ballsofsteelandfury

14 but who’s counting? ??

Beerguyrob

Awesome.

THAT PLAY, I CALL IT A SCISSOR-LIFT, BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN NOTRE DAME HAS BEEN HURT BY A KID FALLING OUT OF THE SKY!!!

Unsurprised

Gumbygirl

Najee fucking Harris. The man!

Horatio Cornblower

ND getting 19.5 points was just enough to keep me from betting the game, (that, and being a total coward when it comes to gambling on sports), and 10 minutes into this game I am sorely regretting that.

Mr. Ayo

I bet an ND alum that Bama would cover by the end of the 1st quarter.

It’s going to be close.

ballsofsteelandfury

Btw, Nacho Fries Bell Grande are friggen amazing.

Mr. Ayo

Damn you. I’m resisting.

ballsofsteelandfury

Don’t. Start the year off on a good note.

As long as you’re not worried about high blood pressure; those sodium numbers are something else.

Mr. Ayo

The Bell Grande version is 710 calories.

Recovery Whiskey

Imagine being Auburn and losing to a private school for lawyers and med students. I guess hiring Boise State’s coach will fix that.

ballsofsteelandfury

Notre Dame is getting beat down today like they were an NFL girlfriend.

ArmedandHammered

Good, has anybody ever lost by more than 100 points in a football game? Because I would love to see ND claim that particular achievement.

Recovery Whiskey

A few times. 222-0 is the record

ArmedandHammered

Holy shit, was tOSU playing a pop Warner team made of polio victims?

Georgia Tech vs. something called Cumberland. If I recall correctly there was a grudge involved between the coaches.

ArmedandHammered

if there wasn’t one before the game, I bet there was one afterwards.

Gumbygirl

Here’s one from Gumby

Ha ha!

Gumbygirl

Taste the rainbow

ArmedandHammered

I doubt any of them were cherry flavored.

Gumbygirl

They would be old and stale.

ArmedandHammered

I always wondered why it was called popping a cherry, is it because blood and cherry juice are similar in color?

Viva La Tabula Raza

The parchment yellow background showing the down and distance info at lower right of the screen sucks. It makes me think that a penalty flag has been thrown on every play.

Mr. Ayo

Are the highlight games the time to introduce new graphics? Just do it at the beginning of the season assholes.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Went in for my annual physical with my PCP the other day, I noticed that he was wearing a polo with an ND logo, in school colors. I refrained from making any snarky comment, and maybe therefore avoided getting a “finger-wave.”

Unsurprised

Time for some new PCP.

scotchnaut

“Oh, you know me.”

Recovery Whiskey

This way you always have conversation for next time. “How about those Irish in the Rose Bowl boy they got their asses handed to them, Bama abused the shit out of those fuckin overrated gloree boys….”

Not recommended if they are also your proctologist.

So much for war damn eagle

Gumbygirl

Time for Roll Damn Tide!

yeah right

New Year’s Day menu?

All about them black eyed peas and cornbread boss.

Gumbygirl

Got any collards to go with that?

Beerguyrob

Easy there Fuzzy. The Masters is in another four months.

yeah right

Not today. Had a fun conversation with one of my co workers who’s also a cook. Told him my menu and he said he’s making the same thing but he’s also making some ox tails. He asked me “What meat are you having?”

I told him “None.” That’s when I realized my tradition happened because I was the youngest of 4 grandsons and my grandmother was a tight ass who didn’t give everybody meat. Which is why every year is just black eyed peas and cornbread and occasionally a fried tater.

Fucking grandmommie, man!
