Wrapping Up Mandatory Eve

Good gracious, I know everyone is as excite as I am for LOLFins/Jaguras tomorrow.  Imagine the maelstrom that Fair London’s ticket scalpers must be enduring.

Until then, here is how we pass the time:

Alabama (-17) at Mississippi State (7:00, ESPN)

Oh, you poor Cowbells.  Be afraid.  Be very afriad.

NC State (-3) at Boston College (7:30, ACCN)

Speaking of fear, I couldn’t be MOAR terrified.  Especially as a road favoUrite.  Chestnut Hill is where dreams go to die.  And the ACC front office no doubt wants to see Clemson win the Atlantic.  Fuck.  Fuckity fuck.

Ole MIss (-2.5) at Tennessee (7:30, SECN)

I see y’all, Volunteers supporters.  I just don’t believe yet.  Then again, y’all is only up against Lane Kiffen here, and he’s a fuckwit.  There Will Be Points.

Iowa State (-6.5) at Kansas State (7:30, ESPN2)

One of The Athletic’s correspondents called this “Farmageddon” which amused me greatly.  I am really a very simple Hippo.  Unded Bill Snyders as a significant home dog?  GIVE ME THAT ACTION ALL DAY.

Air Force (+3.5) at Boise State (9:00, FS1)

This would be all kinds of fun, if only it were snowing.  Stupid galdurned LIBERAL JEW LIE!!!111 climate change.

Arizona State (pick ’em) at Utah (10:00, ESPN)

Trick or treat?  How about tweak or twerk?  The world’s most (rightly) lauded coeds invade a hidden visual gem (Utah is quite lovely, as are the ladies of “The U”), in our first true “pick ’em” of the year.  Remember, this is Herm Edwards’ Sparky.  THEY IS TOTES GONNA BLOW IT, just a matter of when.  Tonight seems about right.

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.]

Aperol was on sale for $10, so I picked up a bottle. Never had it before. Should be fun trying it.

I am more bitter than Tucker Carlson is at Gruden for stealing his thunder. Things might work out.

Goodnight peeps! If I’m up at 6:30 watching that game tomorrow, won’t I be surprised!

We will let you know what happened! It will probably be stuff like passing and running and touching downs and tea!

Horatio Cornblower

I hate that “What’s a bearsquatch” kid so much. You want something to be afraid of, you ginger pussy? You’re going to go to school for 16 years only to find out that your degree qualifies you to be a cubicle drone with, at best, middle-manager potential for some service-industry job that will eventually be done by some dude in Nepal who barely speaks English but who is willing to do your job for $160 a month, because that’s the fat end of the hog in Kathmandu, motherfucker, and don’t you forget it. You? Oh, you’ll find something else, but you’ll be in your late 40’s by then, and whatever you do find will have as much career future in it as an assistant UConn football coach after Randy Edsall gets sent to a farm upstate to play with the other coaches. Meanwhile your shrew of a wife, the same woman who gave birth to and subsequently coddled a child to the point that he’s now pants-shittingly terrified of a clearly mythological creature that is half-bear, half-a-thing-that-has-never-existed, won’t stop spending money on absolutely useless garbage as though you were still employed at a job that paid a living wage, so you wind up taking a graveyard shift at the local Gas-N-Go, where you spend all 8 hours propping your eyeballs up with toothpicks and praying to God that no one you know comes in and recognizes you. That’s something to be afraid of. Now shut up and give Daddy some peace and quiet so that he can drive to his mother-in-law’s house and be passive-aggressively cut to the depths of what he laughingly calls the remainder of his soul about the standard of living he’s failed to provide for the shrieking harpy you call ‘Mom’.

/commercial cuts to the car hurtling through a fence and over a cliff. We pan to a close-up interior shot, Mom screaming at Dad, who has the apotheosis of a peaceful smile on his face.

What I take from this is the UConn sucks.

A Utah player flexing is taunting?

Fuck, wait til they find out about them showing up on my doorstep wanting to talk about ‘The Prophecy’

ballsofsteelandfury

I believe this is the “We don’t really believe in that Mormon shit, we just live in this state” college team.

ballsofsteelandfury

UCLA will beat Oregon next week to ensure that no PAC 12 team figures into the National Championship picture yet again.

Hippo should bet a lot on this.

ballsofsteelandfury

Meanwhile, USC will go into Notre Dame and either cover or win outright.

THIS IS BECAUSE ALL OF US IN THE WEST COAST TOUCH OURSELVES AND WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS!

Yes.

I just hope USC-Notre Dame ends in some sort of inferno.

If TWBS were alive, I’d bet you a trip to the Capital Cabaret that doesn’t happen. 😂🤣

That was one of the best BOTG ever.

Horatio Cornblower

I can’t understand what “one of” is doing in that sentence.

SonOfSpam

Honestly, Oregon ain’t it anyway. Pac-12 has quite a few good teams, no great ones.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Dr. Mrs. is amused that I have very strong thoughts about the political machinations of the girls on the Babysitters Club.

SonOfSpam

Glad the weed plant delivered a bountiful harvest.

“I have very strong thoughts about the political machinations of the girls on the Babysitters Club.”

I just am amazed at the line jumping. Thoughts?

I kinda feel like Derek Carr recommended this to Seamus at some point.

Having said that, I am old and think Phil Ochs is a little loud.

WOO Bruins win on the road against a mediocre Washington team.

We’ll take it.

Galaxy and Portland locked up at 1. RIVETING.

He was just saying he was happy he didn’t get hit by the golf balls TN fans were throwing at him.

All I’m saying is that you shouldn’t throw golf balls at anyone over a stupid game, but if you are going to throw golf balls at Lane Kiffin over a stupid game, you fucking well better hit him,

ballsofsteelandfury

Who brings golf balls to a football game???

Horatio Cornblower

Tennessee fans, apparently.

litre_cola

Hippo is still awake?

litre_cola

This is usually Ayo, BFC, Dunstan time.

Horatio Cornblower

Hey!

litre_cola

I know where you live and what time you showe…. do law. It is late for you.

Horatio Cornblower

I took Monday off and it’s only Satur…Sunday morning.

Not optimistic about making the MANDATORY London game, not gonna lie.

litre_cola

See you there. I am listening to music drinking whisky and I know I will be up in 6 hours and change.

Horatio Cornblower

I’m drinking beer and whiskey and watching sports and have absolutely no intention of being awake in 6 hours.

-My cat and dog, in unison: Guess again, fuckwit.

litre_cola

OH new Colapug agrees.

yeah right

Hooo.

West Coast still up in this motherfucker.

Sharkbait

East coast still kind of a thing!

Power, brother.

I haven’t seen Tennessee throw away this much money since they voted against Medicare expansion.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Well, at least most of them aren’t full of piss.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I don’t know why you feel so confident about that being the case.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m looking it up and going to the subreddit reminds me that, hey, I’m banned from that subreddit. I can’t remember why, specifically, but I do remember that I told one of the mods “go ahead and ban me” AND THEY DID.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

They’re actually censoring any kind of reaction posts about the fan behavior. It’s easy to remember why I got banned; I probably said something about how COVID was going to affect the season last year.

herodotus450

“The cheerleaders are leaving the field!” Oh no, not hte cheerleaders!

herodotus450

Fitting that a trash state like Tennesseee is throwing trash onto the field at the end of this game.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Hey how’s this for a modification of baseball extra innings rules for the regular season: the away team bats in the tenth and gets as many at-bats/outs as it takes for them to score a run. As soon as they do, the other team oh never mind it doesn’t make sense if they score multiple runs on the same at-bat.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Unless…they get to keep scoring until they get another out. And then the opposing team has that many outs to score that many runs.

Hmm. I actually think there might be something here.

Gumbygirl

Just flip a coin.

Horatio Cornblower

I just want both teams to have fun.

Human herd behaviour is strikingly illogical

Collin Cowherd behvaior is equally illogical

It’s coming. Good.

It’s one of the few times when I wouldn’t mind if the boys had to sit things out. I’d rather him stew in prison for a few years instead of getting a free Epstein.

Senor Weaselo

And now another moment in the kitchen with the Weaselos:

Senor: Oh yeah, I got one of these (shows off meat thermometer).
Senorita: Oh nice. We don’t have one, my dad’s always eyeballed it.
Senor: Yes, but I don’t know what I’m doing.

I honestly thought this was gonna go a different direction, and will answer no follow up questions.
