ALL HAIL Northern Illinois! JV Shempionship Evening Thread

Oh my cats.  They really, really did it!  Northern Illinois’ 700 pound coach and his JV charges redeemed their only single-digit MAC loss (they were 6-1 in such contests), cashing in Hippo’s September prop bet.  $20 at 250 to 1, which is $5K for the maths non-inclined.  Nobody told you there would be no maths, there is ALWAYS MATHS!

At time of writing, Team Secular Big Love State holds a 14-3 lead over the JV BOLTMEN!  If that holds, then a prop bet from the same day would pay out $2K ($20 at 100 to 1).

Question for the class – if I do hit both, is TODAY the best day of my life, or was it the day I placed the wagers?

Anyway, strap in fuckos.  It’s all downhill from here.

Michigan (-12.5) v. Iowa @ The Gravy Boat (8:00, Fox)

I warn y’all – tOSU’s backdoor shenanigans potential is IN PLAY, should the Hawkeyes win.  SPOILER ALERT – they will nae.  I always (well, since like age 22 when I met him) had a soft spot for Team Cornpone, because we had a cat named Hawkeye.  He was a total badass, built like a linebacker.  Jet black.  Like an actual panther, this fella.  He is the first cat I considered my son, though I married into being his dad.  And yes, I did ask him if it was ok to propose to his human mother.  Hawkeye thought it over, then came back purring.  Fuck, I miss that Hawkish man.

Long story short, I am high on cough syrup.

Pittsburgh (JV) (-3.5) v. Wake Forest @ Richardson Plantation (8:00, ABC)

HARF, The Ben retires.  Will they draft Kenny Pickett to replace him?  Enquiring minds really don’t give a fuck.  Deacons is being all disrespected by Vegas, as THEY aren’t the title match participant who lost (at home, no less) to a sub-.500 MAC team.  Whatever you do, must NOT bet the under.  These defensing units are as optional as it gets.

Southern Cal (+4.5) at Cal (11:00, FS1)

The most meaningless Tweaker Fixture in the history of humanity.  Both teams looking…to finish 5-7.  I’m sure there will be dozens of people in attendance.  DOZENS!!

Evening. I’ve had a lot of beer and have tucked into the gummi bears.

TheRevanchist

“Nobody on that Pittsburgh side of the field is going to be drinking Thunderbird and Mad Dog tonight. They’re gonna drink the good stuff after this win.”

I need more analysis like this during college football games.

Horatio Cornblower

I mean, Iron City and Yuengling isn’t exactly fine Champagne…

Are you disparaging the healthful and flavorful Vitamin I ? For shame!

I can hear the cries of all those Ohio State fans right now. Feels good, DFO!

You hear THE cries. Gotta emphasize the correct word.

Wake QB has PTSD and has been benched and that’s not a joke because he’s dealt with depression and I feel for him.

So is Italian food. (I think the proper term is “wop slop” but I’ll leave it to the dagos to confirm) Something about all the flavors resting together like a stripper’s stomach the morning after a gangbang good god how many beers is this

Their ESB is really good. Got it to go from the Sandwich outpost a couple weeks ago. Fun fact, they don’t do taproom pours there until 5. I’m hoping it’s an off season rule.

Horatio Cornblower

I was surprised at how good that one is. It’s definitely out of their strength, and sometimes when they step away from high-octane, hazy IPAs, it can get a little iffy, But that one, (I think Old Man? I forget what they call it), was pretty damn good.

My sense is that they’re still working out kinks in Sandwich and Deerfield, because those are almost always just pick-ups and rarely pours. I’d guess they sort that out over the next few months, (assuming Omicron doesn’t kill us all), and Charlton rules apply to all 3.

Sharkbait

Yup. The Old Man is the ESB. Fantastic

Amalgamation and consolidation.

Ok, so the FINAL FOUR would seem to be set.

Also, just in case there are any Islamic people reading this blog (I hope there are!), this post is not making fun of the Islamic religion; I am making fun of those who are likely overreacting to the hijab. Like Mel Brooks in Blazing Saddles except ten million times less funny. As-salamu alaykum.

Seems like “Michigan up 14-3 at half” would’ve been an easy prediction.

More of the same in the 2nd half, or will wackiness ensue?

That rules.

Horatio Cornblower

I went out to the local sports bar emporium to watch the Wake Forest game with my brother and his girlfriend, whose sons played ball with the Wake Forest player I mentioned below. Just as the serving wench provided me with my second ale of the evening, the music purveyor began to crank up what I believe the youth call “electronic music” and the establishment began to fill with women of my daughter’s age wearing skin tight dresses and the sort of heels certain women in less-than-reputable dance hall establishments are known to wear, as well as young men of my son’s age, the latter preceded by a wall of Axe cologne that could stun a mammoth.

Realizing that I was out of my depth I consumed my ale in rapid fashion and concluded my transactions with the serving wench, before hightailing it to my home, where I intend to drink in peace and quiet, and perhaps hang myself later.

tl;dr I am old and these kids need to turn down their music and get off my lawn.

LemonJello

What type of onion was tied to your belt?

Horatio Cornblower

“Gimme five bees for a quarter” I said to the wench as she brought me my change. I was then asked to leave without further fuss.

LemonJello

Did you operate your own horse less carriage or engage the services of a hansom cab to return to your quarters?

Saturday night’s for the Vidalia awwwww yeah

Gumbygirl

I have a contact headache just imagining the Axe. I’m way too old for that shit!

Horatio Cornblower

I was going to approach the young men and tell them that, in my day, we approached women, (after of course first securing the permission of their eldest male guardian), perfumed only by the scent of our own musk, hard-earned after a day toiling in the #content mines.

But then I decided I’d rather not get my ass kicked, and just left.

Such a shame that both teams used all their offense in the first quarter

Evening, ladies and gentlefucks. I am housesitting for my parents’ neighboUrs for the next several months as they drive their camper van across North America while on sabbatical. It’s sheer bliss to be out of a small basement apartment and get to live in a house with so much light… not to mention the massive TV and exceptionally comfy leather couch that I am currently lying as I flip between the Sens and the B1G title game.

Tomorrow, I test out hotboxing the backyard sauna.

You should get one of the DFO lawyers to look up how “adverse possession” laws work in Canada.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s very hard to carry off in Connecticut, but I think in Canada if you can get some beavers to flood the property, then get a mating pair of loons to establish residency, you either own the property, have established the right of prima nocte upon the wedding night of any female offspring, or both.

As should be clear, I am not admitted to the Canadian bar.

Michael J Fox? Or Muhammad Ali?

yeah right

What are you looking for? You’re a couple of blocks from the Proud Bird. It’s a food court, kinda event space thing but they have fantastic food. If you like barbecue Bludsoes sells their brisket out of there and it’s worth driving to LA for. They make a real nice potato salad and their mac and cheese is top notch.

Name your cuisine, and I’ll help out.

You are a darling dear, as is Balls. We don’t want to go out(high as fuck) so we just ordered from some random Mex place that came up on Doordash.

Horatio Cornblower

I haven’t seen a Pittsburgh player slam a defenseless person down like that since Big Ben got thrown off Tinder.

Gumbygirl

The fake slide may win Pickett the Heisman!

Horatio Cornblower

Now that’s just total bullshit. If a QB is allowed to fake a slide and then take off again when the defense lets up, then a defender shouldn’t be Penalized for leveling a sliding QB. Can’t have it both ways.

SonOfSpam

So we’re putting all our $$ on Pitt tonite, right?

Good. Take those winnings and sniff your own farts the rest of the night.

I’m probably starting Gardner Minshew in our league tomorrow because everything and everyone is stupid especially me.

On the bright side, today there are reports that Big Ben has told people this is his last season.

Also wouldn’t be the first time someone used Brittenni3’s cooch for an ash receptacle.

Duh. Ketamine gets expensive.

So…Alabama #1 (despite needing a miracle to beat Auburn last week), and Georgia at #3. If Michigan wins, they’re #2. If they don’t…uh, what’s the name of our deity for CHAOS?

Michigan wins: Alabama, Michigan, Georgia, Cincinnati
Michigan loses: Alabama, Georgia, Cincinnati, Notre Dame

Horatio Cornblower

Cincinnati is the only undefeated team left. They’re #1.

Chaos is a ladder.

Redshirt

If Cincinnati was in a Power 5 Conference, they’d be #1 if undefeated.

Horatio Cornblower

In all honesty I can’t see them above 3. But they need to be there, with 2 wins against Houston and a thumping of Notre Dame.

Redshirt

Watch the Committee still not pick Cincinnati.

The result of this Georgia game is going to leave the door WIDE open for them to do so.

We have a great view of planes coming in, but I can’t hear them. I brought earplugs just in case. Saw some of the hookers. Gumby says he has “some kinks to work out” and wants to go to the rub and tug next to the Thai restaurant. Think again, buddy boy. No happy ending for you!

yeah right

I could give you a review on that place too.

Which one?

Yes.

If it says Thai massage, man that is infinitely more than just a damn tug.

How is the Denny’s there? “La Quinta” means “next to Denny’s” en Espanol.

By God there’s a Denny’s practically next door.

Wake Forest has a linebacker who went to high school with my kids. At Senior Night for the basketball team, (yep, he played basketball, too), they had 6 seniors, so this kid asked the coach to let the senior bench player have his start. Just a really nice kid. Who could kill me with one hand.
