Ain’t Gonna Spread FOAR No Roses? Saturday Night Thread

What a cracker between City and Arsenal to start 2022.  City are basically the Roll Damn Tide of the EPL.  They just keep coming, and coming, until the dam breaks.  And it ALWAYS eventually breaks.  Like Bama denying the likes of Notre Dame, I am satisfied to have a team who I have neutral feelings about…crush the dreams of shitbirds like Chelski and the Redshite.  They face off tomorrow, but they have no chance at the title and they KNOW it.  Fookin’ lovely.

Were the Gooners hearing this in their heads?

Tonight’s pseudo-entertainment!

Utah (+4) v. Theeeeee Ohio State (5:00, ESPN)

It will never be not weird to me, this game being on not-NBC.  Team Secular Big Love is very happy to be here (too much so for it to feel like a normal gameday?), tOSU maxed their opt-out potential.  But, you know, their 2nd string has laughably better recruiting ratings than the Utes.  But Kyle Whittingham might be the best pure head coach (ie, factoUring out the GM component) in the JV NFL ranks.  In short…don’t bet this one.

Baylor (+1.5) v. Ole MIss (8:45, ESPN)

Every pundit was lining up to shit all over the SEC’s performance in exhibition season.  But then…uh…yesterday kind of happened.  Look, I was asleep well before midnight on NYE, the odds of me staying up for this is quite slim.  Can Johnny Reb really function as the “white hat” squadron?  With Koach Kiffin at the helm?  I’ve been told that a pre-game walk through The Grove is as neck-spinning as it gets for the pervert.  So, I will say yes.  Show them Texas Yankees what ol’ Johnny Reb can do when he puts his’n mind to it!!

Herbstreit: Players who don’t play in bowl games are the worst.

Matt Corral’s ankle: (breaks in two places)

Horatio Cornblower

Kirk is the worst.

SonOfSpam

He is! I told him he was wrong on Twitter and I expect him to humbly agree now that Corral is Corrippled.

I don’t understand, why haven’t these two college football teams scored any touched downs yet? Did they not see the Rose Bowl earlier?

Horatio Cornblower

Speaking of gambling what’s the O/U on number of US gold medalists in the Beijing Olympics who “test positive” when trying to leave the games and get detained for 5 weeks of quarantine?

I’m going to go with “all of them”

SonOfSpam

Cool, we’re due for a land war in Asia. Been like six months.

litre_cola

Flakes, sleet, sort of a snow mist, freezing rain, then you got blowing snow which is snow that has settled and taken another form of snow, slush, also depends on how humid your part of the country is.

If it weren’t for Big Catholic blowing their lead like a wad on an altar boy, I’d be unbeaten picking against the spread.

I like Baylor, which is a warning.

SonOfSpam

To be clear, I am doing ok on today’s games only. For Bowl Season, I am definitely in the red. Which is why I merely opine on gambling, not engage in it. Thanks for coming (heh) to my Ted Talk.

Horatio Cornblower

Minnesota goalie is playing like he wants to get benched and back into the heated seats as fast as possible.

Which is exactly the way I would play this.

litre_cola

Well a field goal still means the Utes cover…

Should check on my SexiMecsi Beisbol.

Horatio Cornblower

I see the Wild have added mustard brown shorts to their unis, in what I can only assume is an attempt to ensure that they have the most unattractive kit in the history of hockey.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’ve got your unattractive kit right here!

Ha ha ha obviously I’m kidding IS THAT LITTLE GUY ADORABLE OR WHAT?

Horatio Cornblower

I realize the Rose Bowl game is close and all, but the Winter Classic is also on, and they’re playing outside in -9 (Fahrenheit, so it counts), so I’mma watch that.

I generally mock the Apple Watch (points to every DFO Insider post ever), but even I’ll admit that was a pretty damned compelling ad.

litre_cola

Utes are playing scared. Jesus Fuck.

herodotus450

Ignorant American fans are calling this Ute “England Covey”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Utah fans probably blame the punter’s mistake on the fact that he defiled his body with tattoos.

Aw. There goes our 50s-50s Halftime Score!

I have partied with Utes alumni in SLC and they are the exact opposite of BYU folks. Booze? Check. Gambling? Hell yeah. Drugs? The best.

rockingdog

Yooo OMG
And then Utah QB with the big TD run!
Rocking! 💯

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

RTD: [sees that the last four possessions have resulted in touchdowns]

RTD: [turns on television set]

RTD: “Man, I hope there are enough bananacakes left for me to enjoy some!”

UTAH: [scores a 60 yard touchdown on a 4th and 1 QB sneak]

If this continues Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler will rise from the dead to spite the defense units.

Figures-there’s no D in either of Utah or OSU’s names.

Its never a good sign when they go straight for the aircast.

Poppycock!!! Hail Gamblor! I gots 50 CAD (4 chinese jerseys, or 35 USD) Money line on the Utes!

Ute in Australia is an El Camino which are still in production.

How in the heck can the Play Clock be broken in the Rose Bowl?

Like a lot of granddaddies, the Rose Bowl has become tired, repetitive, and in a lot of debt after hiring that Filipino nurse.

Redshirt

Well, after being outclassed on National TV, at least Cincinnati can rest assured its still remains the best team in the state of Ohio.

Bernard with the TD catch for Utah
That’s was Rocking!!! 💪

Keith Jackson and Frank Broyles were the broadcasting duo in my lifetime. I miss not hating the fucking announcers. Herbstreit and Fowler were apparently drunk during yesterday’s game and hungover now.
