Formally Week One FOAR JV NFL (Thursday Night Open Thread)

Is everybody ready for some NIL-fueled FITBAW??  I fuckin’ thought so.

West By God Virginia (+7.5) at Pittsburgh (7:00, ESPN)

A great (read: hate-filled) rivalry gets re-ignited.  Suffer along with WCS, not sure anyone in the Clubhouse has positive fee-fees for JV Yinzers?  Anyway, this is way too many points.  Fuckers du Cousins has a quartered back this year, and that will make all the difference.

Central Michigan (+21.5) at BDSM State (7:00, FS1)

The orange paddles will be out for our MACtion heroes, and I have a weird notion that we could see a competitive matchup here.  Or maybe I am just rationalizing again.  FUCK YOU, I support NC State AND Everton, defense mechanisms are all that keep me alive.

Paedo State (-3.5) at Purdue (8:00, Fox)

Man, an opening week road favoUrite in West Lafayette?  Homey don’t play that.  Purdue Pete brings back quite a bit, at least on offense, and they’ll be jacked up as fuck.  You have to imagine that every B1G coach hates James Franklin with a white-hot passion.  Much like Josh McDaniels, he just oozes “that guy” vibes.

Louisiana Tech (+20) at Missouri (8:00, ESPNU)

Just in case you need a 4th fixture, Louisiana Tech can be a meddlesome foe, even against much stronger programs than Mizzourah.  I’d be sad to see Eli Drinkwitz catch the express train to Sackville, but that’s life in the SEC for ya.  It just means MOAR, rite??

This has been a great game. Do they normally start on Thursdays? Plusis Purdue and Pedo St a B1G game? I thought that these schools scheduled Devry and Uni of Phoenix to fatten up their numbers.

2nd and 6, down by a TD and approaching 2:00 left, WVU turns to the running game.

As someone who roots for a team coached by Mike McCarthy I can already tell you how this ends.

SonOfSpam

Inbrededly?

Horatio Cornblower

Yes

Horatio Cornblower

They both signaled fair catch. Good correction.

Now maybe WVU’s coach will give the ball back.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

At my in-laws’ for the next four days. Gonna need more booze.

TheRevanchist

We should live stream a drinking game during an Alabama game. Shots for TDs and beer/cider chugs for plays over 40 yards. We will be FUCKED up!

SonOfSpam

Haven’t seen a West Virginia receiver fuck up that bad since the female cousin forgot to take her birth control.

Horatio Cornblower

“Cousin? Sister too fast for you, pussy?”

TheRevanchist

They use birth control in that state? Color me shocked.

Horatio Cornblower

I do have to concede that Pitt upsetting WVU 13-9 a few years ago allowed UConn to back into the Fiesta Bowl, where they were slaughtered like hogs by Oklahoma but still, Fiesta Bowl!

Mr. Ayo

SUDDEN CHANGE!

TheRevanchist

I just assume everyone is watching the Fresno State game. TD!

SonOfSpam

Also, BrittFar in legal trouble and I am okay with that.

/grows tumescent

Horatio Cornblower

On the one hand I don’t approve of drilling people in the head with your helmet. On the other hand Pitt’s devious subterfuge contributed greatly to the demise of the original Big East and UConn’s years in the wilderness so fuck ’em, go head hunt with impunity.

WCS

That’s a very long and convoluted way to say, “Go Mountaineers!”

Horatio Cornblower

Meh. Not like WVU stuck around either.

SonOfSpam

If I was a coach, Id tell my players to blame the media for targeting penalties.
“Well you know it was a bang-bang play and i was just trying to play hard out there so some crock of shit journalist would write something good about me and how high my ‘motor’ is you know?”

Horatio Cornblower

What up, naggers?

Horatio Cornblower

Who among us?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Carefully?

Horatio Cornblower

Depends on the point spread.

TheRevanchist

Went to Walmart for the first time in a long time. Let me tell you, friends and foe (you know who you are), they rearranged the place. Aisles got smaller again. And, yet, a much smaller selection of everything they have to offer. And the groceries were all too damn high, just like the rent.

The only upside was this was still one of the best trips I have had to a Walmart in a decade. I was miserable, but way less miserable than a normal trip there. The card machine for paying asked me to rate my visit. I put a 3 star out of 5, based on the place not being a complete shithole like it normally is.

That said, won’t be going back any time soon.

herodotus450

Last time I went half the checkouts were broken and old people were taking forever on the others. And I almost ran over several pepole in the parking lot most of which I think were drug addicts.

TheRevanchist

Yes. That is 3 star for Walmart.

Gumbygirl

Did you get murdered? Quit yer bitchin’, sheesh!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Sup

TheRevanchist

Thanks to ED, only half of us here.

Horatio Cornblower

My excuse is I’m having my refractory period.

It’s real turn-off.

4th and 30? JV NFL BLITZ!

I caught the very end of the Witch Doctor bounty fight post-gig. Poor [loser of fight], always so close but yet so far.

I blame Hippo.

I’m on pill #6, Hippo. The knee doesn’t hurt anymore, colors can feel me, scotch tastes like prune juice, I want to fry six eggs for no reason.

Anybody had a fantasy draft yet? I had my first last night, in a 12 team league with the 8th pick I started Henry/Adams/Allen and was pretty happy.

yeah right

I liked my results. I’ve got a receiver crew from the Gods.

SonOfSpam

That’s a great start. I had one last weekend, picked 4th out of 12, and started with Kupp/Javonte/Conner. 1st pick took CMC which is a hell of a gamble.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Isn’t CMC who Yahoo had as the #1 pick?

SonOfSpam

No idea honestly, but no thanks.

Horatio Cornblower

They had him #2. Taylor was#1.

Col. Duke LaCross

Doing one tomorrow and running the first tee at my course at the same time. Taking slacker to a whole new level!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I got Mahomes/ChildAbuser/James Conner

litre_cola

I think that was a stretch for Adrian Peterson.

I’m here from the future. You did.

DERPTACULAR ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED

Burden is going to be FUUUUUUUUUUUN. Taking that ball away from the defender there was very impressive.

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

Also, Kansas just added a year to their FB coach, who went 2-10 last year. Kansas football! Feel the ineptitude!

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

Yeah he’s a sharp dude. I think they win at least 8 this year.

Perhaps you should look back to mid-June and consider what your sports-watching options were?

litre_cola

We could go back to 2020 where Hippo and I text argued about Belarusian futbol clubs and Honduran ones I think. FC SLUTSK was a wagon!

I’m hoping I make it to the end of this Mizzou game – freaking sinus infection is wiping me out. After COVID it is not fun

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

Yeah, 3 first half picks are not a sign you’ll have a competitive contest. And THANKS SON!

I was going to make a ‘kissing your sister’ joke about the halftime score of WV/Pitt but Pornhub is way ahead of me and has been for a few years.

Harley Quinn is being wasted on HBO Max. This last episode is one of the best Batman things I’ve ever watched.

Just watched it. Absolutely LOVE this series!

Btw, Bane is so funny on this show!!

All those places are just the next train exit. Stick a New Jersey mafia lieutenant next to a Pittsburgh abortion clinic doctor — I can’t tell the difference.

Gumbygirl

It happens. We don’t like to talk about it.

herodotus450

Teevee said 75 miles between Pitt and WV, do you think there are more teeth or meth cook sites in that distance?

WCS

Push.

Game Time Decision

Meth sites as teeth don’t grow back

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Do burned out meth sites count?

herodotus450

Hmm if there are burned up Jethro’s then I guess that counts as something being cooked

herodotus450

Field-based Goals should only be allowed in the 4th quarter, and possibly after any fair catch as a free kick.

WCS

That’s what pregame is for.

litre_cola

No the pill ingestion is the day after.

scotchnaut

Giants just released Blake “The Tackling Machine”* Martinez and there is much hand-wringing. He’s a slow, competent linebacker-that’s it. As I suspected, the new regime is emphasizing speed at the position rather than run-stopping ability. About time.

*4 to 6 yards beyond the line of scrimmage

scotchnaut

These pain pills are a great ride-I think Hippo just might be on to something here.

I was thinking that this would be a WCS/GumbySquirrel Derby. Am I mistaken?

Gumbygirl went to UAB. Like the rest of the galaxy, she doesn’t care about Pitt, either.

Gumbygirl

I don’t have a tv up here!

Gumbygirl

Erm, wrong. Grandfathers, dad, mom, sister, all went to Pitt.

Wakezilla

It wasn’t a Picasso, but it was nice to see Man United win again. It’s incredibly stupid that the fans over there didn’t keep up their protesting momentum because they didn’t sign another mid. This will prove to be problematic as Erickson is already looking fatigued.
