So Much Lesser, So Little Time

Is everybody enjoying the slow transition to Fall weather?  I know I sure am.  Heat and being a fat fuck don’t go together too well.  But sitting around watching glorious footy?  That’s a bingo.

How weird is this?  Both Manchester teams in the “up with the roosters slot.”  The marquee being Man City and Chelski (7:30, NBCSN).  Pep is as back to the wall as he’s been in the Northwest, and “changing of the guard” talking points will be in the air.  Should make for a fine morning watch.  Or, you can watch along with irritable, sleep deprived Wakey on Peacock (Men Untied v. Aston Villa).  Worth waking up for, no matter your fixture preference.

Only one broadcast offering in the 10:00 window, and it’s Leicester/Burnley (NBCSN).  That’s pretty gross.  You can see Everton’s further descent into Very Disappointing land, home to the ded-fookin-last Trashbirds.  Or maybe Leeds/Hammers, if you want an actually entertaining match.  YMMV.

Ignore the Spotlight Dance (Bees on Shite, 12:30, NBC), but please don’t forget Sunday’s tasty North London Derby (11:30, NBCSN).  It’s good hatred, that one.

Notre Dame (+6.5) v. Wisconsin (Stade du Bearistocrats!, Noon, Fox)

I have no idea why Bucky Badger is favoUred at all.  I will ML bet the Irish, and hope to lose my bet.  Shall we call this the Overweight White Ethnics Derby?

Missouri (-1.5) at Boston College (Noon, ESPN)

When this here fixture was scheduled, bet nobody expected these to have one loss combined.  The A-C-C is A-S-S has two remaining unbeatens heading into this last September weekend – Boston College and Wake Forest.  So, uh…yeah.  Mizzou would also be a good excuse to humblebrag about the resurgence of the playoff-bound #BFIB – but that just wouldn’t be The Right Way.

SMU (+9.5) at TCU (Noon, FS1)

Will there be Blood FOAR the Bloodeyes God?  No?  Bet the Ponies, especially ML.

Texas Tech (+9) at Texas (Noon, ABC)

Steerfuckers South will win this, perhaps convincingly.  Guns Up! just ain’t very good, but that won’t stop the THEIR BACK!!!!1111 bandwagon from filling back up.  Because sports journalists are lazy, you see.

Boise State (-9) at Utah State (Noon, CBS)

Noted both for being CBS national, and for the ridicuous local kickoff time.  Get your naps in, Team Secular Big Love State!

Texas A&M (-4.5) at Arkansas (3:30, CBS)

Pig Sooey are 3-0!  Don’t bet on them finishing the day 4-0, even if I still harboUr doubts about Jimbo’s bunch.

Clemson (-10) at NC State (3:30, ESPN)

SIGH.  Hippo is already looking forward to his depression nap.

Iowa State (-7) at Baylor (3:30, Fox)

BayBay is another surprise unbeaten, and they actually have a rapist’spuncher’s chance of getting to October that way.  Sleeper game of the day.

Reclusive, vulgar Broncos fan. Also a proud fookin' Evertonian. Likely dropped on my head repeatedly as a small child. [Insert George Carlin quote followed by thoughtful nod.]

…AND HERE COME THE PILLZ

Gumbygirl

Wooooooooo!

herodotus450

Would be extra funny if he missed this extra point though

Gumbygirl

Christopher might be Dunn as the NC State kicker.

herodotus450

Lock up your pill bottles, Raleigh-Durham area!
/Whether he makes the kick or not

scotchnaut

Hippo has mentioned ‘shame pizza’ many times. I ask myself, “Is there such a thing as ‘Shame Chinese Food’?” Let’s find out…

herodotus450

Only if it’s made with official “[Redacted]-seed oil of Nanking” cooking oil.

WCS

O AN U NOE DA PILLZ WILL FLOE AT DEH HIPPO HUHZ BULLLLLEEEEEEE DAT

herodotus450

Clamson-NCST football talking guy turns out to be RGIII, sounding not as dumb as you’d expect from either a broadcaster OR a former player. Maybe he’s smarter than we think and he got injured on purpose so he wouldn’t have to play for Dan Snyder longer than necessary.

Gumbygirl

He’s been a pleasant surprise.

scotchnaut

NBC still showing golf like the L7’s that they are.

/my references are the most up to date, Daddy-o!

Stolen from the Twitter:

Forecast for Trump rally in Georgia:

Temperatures in the 70s, IQs slightly lower.

Can you really be “high risk” if you never have any contact with the outside world?

SonOfSpam

Auburn is losing at home to Georgia St. Probably won’t last, but it’s fun for now.

I mean, not as fun as UConn beating powerhouse Wyoming.

herodotus450

Arkansas’ kicker is Cam Little, TAMU’s is Seth Small. WEIRD.

WCS

Wolven Sort with the Mayonegg of drives to end the half…

Gumby joke incoming:
I couldn’t find my pizza cutter, so I used a Bryan Adams cd. It cuts like a knife.

I’m cautiously optimistic.

Sweet Mother of Piss, that was dumb, Wolven Sort…

Hippo just threw a tusk at the television with that dropped TD.

herodotus450

Imagine the football talkin guy outrage if this Clemson QB doesn’t pan out, and all that effort learning to say his name correctly goes for naught.

Trump’s gonna be pissed that a woman forgot to add the P.

Dunstan

That’s the joke I was fumbling for

Anthony In TX

That’s amazing.

Horatio Cornblower

Gonna go mow the lawn and avoid the next three quarters. There’s no way this keeps up.

Horatio Cornblower

UConn is up 13-0.

My arm is numb and I smell burning toast.

These two things are surely related. Also I forgot about my toast.

WCS

You should lose the hair plugs…

UConn just did a double-reverse flea-flicker and is now up 10-0.

Is, is this what hope feels like?

WCS

NARRATOR: It wasn’t.

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t understand how roughing the passer negates an interception, but I’ll take it.

Horatio Cornblower

UConn get a first down courtesy of a Wyoming CB absolutely suplexing one of their WRs.

Seems to be working, let’s see if we can run that back.

herodotus450

I could never keep track which of the CBS announcers is the senile one but, good news for me, they both are now so I don’t have to worry about slandering.

WCS

The entirety of the jorb interview is eating a whole, live razorback within 15 minutes.

Horatio Cornblower

Andy Reid’s application was turned down, as it was felt he was over-qualified.

Viva La Tabula Raza

There’s a guy on the TX A&M team named Bumper Pool.

herodotus450

When he was little we called him Baby.

Meanwhile his girlfriend calls him Snooker
