FUCK, do I ever hate Halloween.  I know, I know.  But Hippo, you hate EVERYTHING.

Larnin’ of the day:

1. Lookit you, Sparty!  Have that Sparty Party after all.
2. Ole – not ded yet.  Nuno…not great, Bob!
3. Vile Redshite drop points to Trash Birds, despite being spotted a 2-nil lead.  At home.
4. You can bury Texas for another year.  GOOD JERB, BayBay.
5. It is patently unfair that JV WKRP gets “style points” hassle, but Steerfuckers North can shit their pants all they want.
6. We really need a 12-team playoff, and right soon.
7. It’s becoming more than a bit uncomfortable, the increasing level of in-game confusion of CBS’ geriatric broadcasting team.
8. Maybe not as uncomfortable as the Dan Mullen hot seat, though.
9. The 3:30 window, contrary to my “can’t fall off the floor” expectations – was no improvement.
10. Mikel Arteta remains a very handsome man.

Ole Miss (+3) at Auburn (7:00, ESPN)

This week at DFO, we learned that JJ Fozz is a War Damn Eagle supporter.  Things Hippo NEVAR would have guessed for $400, Alex?

Kenfucky (+1) at Mississippi State (7:00, SECN)

We shall see if Blue Moons of Kenfucky is legitimate tonight.  Win or lose, there will be incessant cowbellery.

Paedo State (+19.5) at (theeeeee) Ohio State (7:30, ABC)

That home loss to Illinois.  Woof.  Still, this is way too many points, even in The Sportsball Year of Redshirt.

UCLA (+6) at Utah (10:00, ESPN)

This is awfully late for a student body that’s like, 70% caffeine free.  But this will be one of THREE solid tweaker fixtures this week.  Secular Big Love and Westwood Klavern both need this one.  Bad.

Virginia (+2.5) at BYU (10:15, ESPN2)

This is awfully late for a student body that’s like, 99.9% caffeine free (surely one or two apostates exist).  Bronco Mendenhall homecoming/revenge game, so consider me mildly intrigued?

Fresno State (-2) at San Diego State (10:30, CBSSN)

Those JV Boltmen! really do that “no style points” thingy, but undefeated they remain.  Fresno will be a stern test, even if they’s all out of Emo Carrs.
