October 2022’s Last Stand (Open Night Thread)

Michigan State (+22.5) at Michigan (7:30, ABC)

I swear, that’s SO MANY games with this betting line.  Speaks to the bad schedule, but at least we get a good numerical coincidence.

Kenfucky (+11.5) at Tennessee (7:00, ESPN)

Trappiest of trap games since TCU/WVU.  I expect this to be neck and neck wel into Q4, though the Vols keep vaulting over expectations.  Surely, they have to play all meh sometime, you’d think.

Baylor (+2.5) v. Texas Tech (7:30, ESPN2)

Both squadron’s are 4-3, so the stakes aren’t super high.  But still likely a decent watch, in that Big Twaaaaalve kinda way.

Ole Miss (-1.5) at Texas A&M (7:30, SECN)

At least one of these unlikable cretin head coaches has to lose?  I guess I’d mildly prefer Johnny Reb over Bonfire Cult, but they both can get fucked.

Stanford (+16.5) at UCLA (10:30, ESPN)

The JV NFL scheduler monkeys really want you to go to bed, get rested for that tasy London morning matchup.

And like that, Fresno state has taken the lead with 56 seconds left in the game.

And just won

A damn good night. Too bad there isn’t a really late Hawaii game on. It’s like they want me to go to bed.

yeah right

Children of men is almost cinematically perfect. I use almost as a I might be drinking buffer but it’s still pretty goddamn close.

The repeated use the long takes just talks to me.

Incredible film.

I have a love hate relationship with nightmare on elm street. I was scared of freddy as a kid, I found myself drawn towards jason as a teen, then I’ve revisited the original a few times and I’ve found the film’s actual creepiness is overshadowed by its merchandising

Wait Logan Paul is fighting Anderson Silva in a boxing match? What? Why are people paying to watch that?

I’m watching Michigan vs. MSU over broadcast. For some reason the broadcast is jittery, like we’re picking it up from the Perseverance Mars rover. The political commercials are coming in just fine, though. I think I’m watching this because I’m too lazy to hunt for the remote; I damn sure don’t GAS about either of those teams.

THESE GUYS THE HOUSTON ASTERISKS I CALL THEM THE RUSSIAN OLYMPIC PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO CHEATING AND I HATE THEM.

If you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying, etc.

Is Jimbo Fisher a secret Lib who’s mission is to bankrupt Texas Oil Barons by really sucking at football?

so, what is everyone up to? I be waiting for cinnamon rolls and watching women’s rugby, LIKE A GODDAMNED LADY.

Brocky

I’m trying to wrestle this shirt on that I’m wearing for a wedding tomorrow and wondering how my neck got so fat.

Also my dad is watching pre season college basketball which I always forget is a thing

litre_cola

We had too many bananas, so Mrs Cola made banana cheesecake bars. Also while bored made dough for cinnamon buns tomorrow.

Just got flu vaxxed and COVID variant vaxxed.

Gonna go run around on the freeway since I’m a goddamn immortal.

Brick Meathook

I’ll bring a bunch a bunch of Oxy and go with you. If it turns out we’re not immortal we won’t even notice.

Cause El Traffico.

I sure hope it goes better for you than it does for me

Here’s a little photo shoot I did this morning.

These are my original uniform decorations from when I was on active duty. The “fish” on top were presented to me in a ceremony underway by our skipper on my second patrol when I qualified in submarines. The middle is my Sea Service ribbon with two bronze stars (for each additional award) for each year of sea duty with a major deployment. The bottom is my SSBN patrol pin; I got the pin for my first patrol and a gold star for each additional patrol. That’s six patrols total, and when you add in sea trials, shakedown cruises, and exercises I’ve got about 300 days submerged running time total, 40 days at the longest stretch.

I was an engineer so my job was to shovel uranium into the reactor.

I always used replacement insignia on all my Legion and VFW hats, but these are the originals and they sat pinned on my original ship’s ball cap which I kept on a shelf. The badges had tarnished over the years so I cleaned them up with some “Nevr-Dull” polishing cotton. The ribbon looks a little worn but I like it that way.

This photo is just in time for Veteran’s Day on November 11, so I can milk it for all it’s worth.

Gumby has all that stuff in a shadowbox. It’s so old and it’s been moved so many times that things are starting to fall down. We need to unscrew it and glue the stuff back down.

My Dad was a lifelong collector of memorabilia. He made me a cool shadow box when I retired. He was mostly an Army collector. Your Navy service represened here is pretty cool.

Asterisks are basically playing pickle ball out here; trading places between home and second.

Man, when was the last time Tennessee was any good? The Coy Detmer days? The fuck happened to their program? That seems like a state that wouldn’t put up with that kind of mediocrity

litre_cola

Detmers were BYU and Colorado me thinks. Ex Iggles which is why I think I know.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

This is the correct take. Tee Martin > Teabagger

litre_cola

Jimbo wants to get fired. That is disgusting money for jerking off at home.

Wakezilla

Here I am jerking off for free like a sucker
