Winding Down from Midday – JV NFL Night Thread

By this time, we will be basking in the afterglow of Vols/Dawgs, so you are forgiven for being less-than-fully whelmed at these.

Alabama (-13.5) at LSU (7:00, ESPN)

Vegas sure thinks that even when Roll Damn Tide ain’t that good…they’s still really REALLY good.  Death Valley at night will be fun, at least.

Texas (-2.5) at Kansas State (7:00, FS1)

It flat-out offends Hippo that Steerfuckers South are favoUred here, and I bet it does the Unded Bill Snyders, too.

Clemson (-3.5) at Notre Dame (7:30, NBC)

Ugh, where is Giant Meteor when we really need it?  I don’t care about this, but it is a nationally relevant matchup.

Auburn (+12.5) at Mississippi State (7:30, ESPN2)

Remember Cadillac Williams?  He’s now War Damn Eagle’s Interim Damn Coach.  Good luck with that, Caddy.  I can’t wait for the segment where Dred Pirate Mike Leach has a little soliloquy on the sidelines.  Such an interesting breed of cat.

Wake Forest (-4) at NC State (8:00, ACCN)

The Tweaker Gods ain’t bless us, so this is pretty much end of the line.  Wake’s season went splat at Louisville last week, while my Shitty Wolves had to dig out of a 21-3 hole at home against the worst team in the ACC (Virginia Tech).  Safe to say this one lost much of its pre-season lustre.

New thread is up.

Did anyone else see something thrown at Saka before he took that corner? He picked it up and handed it to the linesman.

Spurs are +240 at home vs Redshite. Any idea why?

I turned the tv to Austin City Limits. Lyle Lovett is singing a song called Pants Is Overrated.

It’s not enough for Notre Dame to doom the ACC to a slow death by refusing to join full time. Now the Irish have all but knocked the ACC out of playoff contention. Notre Dame has now won 28 straight games against the ACC in the regular season, including beating both of 2022’s likely division champs this season. Jack Swarbrick also stole Jim Phillips’ lunch money just for fun.

Hey BFC, what was the electric car you recommended back in Baltimore? It was Korean.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Hyundai Ioniq5

Mr. Ayo

Great recommendation. Lofty. Hyundai has been killing it for some time now. If you have the means, check out the Genesis line of luxury cars they make. So choice.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Thanks, Ferris.

Brick Meathook

thanks!

Mr. Ayo

My pleasure

Mr. Ayo

At least Manfred avoided the ignominy of a World Series game 7 getting absolutely trounced in ratings by a regular season SNF game.

WCS

It should be Gary Bettman’s jorb to be booed at the beginning of every championship series game across all sports.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Jaguars-Raiders would probably have gotten triple the ratings.

Is Steely Dan the best ever band that’s named after a sex toy? I say yes.

SonOfSpam

I think there’s a punk band called The Dildos but yes, Steely Dan is better.

WCS

Thousands of shitty grunge and rap-rock garage bands from 1995-2005, too.

I believe Horatio would take exception to this as there is a punk rock band named The Dwarves.

SonOfSpam

Good hustle, prepare for an ass slap.

This is for Ayo:

Mr. Ayo

Um, thanks. Really Nailed It there.

A strong case could be made for the Japandroids.

Mr. Ayo

Sexy Friday just got a new theme!

SMU beat Houston 77-63 so I think the “over” was the right call maybe.

WCS

Expect both to make the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Wait..

Last possession won?

Congratulations to the Houston Asterisks, on not getting caught this year (yet).

Salty, evil Dodger fans are salty.

Mr. Ayo

Congrats to Dusty Baker and exactly no one else.

Oh man I wouldn’t want to be a damned soul tonight…

Mason Taylor is the son of former Dolphin Jason Taylor and the nephew of former Dolphin Zach Thomas.

Good genes, is what I’m saying.

Mr. Ayo

Brian Kelly did a good?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Don’t worry, he’ll make up for it by running over someone’s dog tonight with his car.

Mr. Ayo

Well at least it won’t be the ones Saban is ripping the heads off of right now.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I highly doubt Cerberus would sit still for that.

That’s okay…Dr Oz (speaking at a Nazi Trump rally) told the crowd to call 10 people each tomorrow before the Steelers game to encourage them to vote.

It’s the Steelers’ bye week.

Then they can call them next week, then!

So, Aaron Carter, huh.

I wonder if Shaquille O’Neal’s said anything yet.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Todd Marinovich assures us that he was in no way involved with the sale of the drugs that caused Aaron’s demise.

SonOfSpam

Just because he was an addict and only 34 and they found him in the bathtub doesn’t mean it was drugs, although it was definitely drugs.

He died in Lancaster.

The only cause of death in Lancaster is drugs or crashing an experimental rocket plane which is also drugs.

yeah right

Yep. The second I read Lancaster surprise left the equation.

Gumbygirl

I’m surprised they have bathtubs in Lancaster.

yeah right

Just to cook meth in.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m not, but I’m surprised it was inside a house. I always assumed bathtubs around there were only found in vacant lots or in piles of garbage behind hourly rate motels.

Redshirt

Aw hell, do I really have to root for Notre Dame? Isn’t there an alternative like passing a kidney stone or teaching Donald Trump humility?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

THIS GUY JOHN FETTERMAN I CALL HIM A GUY WHO IS ALLOWED TO DRINK COFFEE BECAUSE HE IS A CLOSER.

AND NOW THE CHEATING ASTERISKS ARE THROWING BATS AT THE PITCHER!

/but seriously that’s their 3rd broken bat this inning what is going on here?

yeah right

LAFC with the win on pennos!

Woo!

I can’t believe the drivers allowed Ty Gibbs to win the race/championship.

No one has balls anymore.

They do, just not made of metal and they are lacking fury

Severely lacking… 🤦

That and no buffering on the internet and all traitors will be shot, no questions asked.

The refs’ simultaneous discussing roughing the kicker while he’s literally writhing in pain six feet away is hilarious:

Already there, come on up!

Please, oh please gods of righteousness and all things good and pure. Do not allow that foul asshole known as Dusty Baker receive a World Series ring as manager of the Asstroles

ArmedandHammered

Not as a manager, player yes.

ArmedandHammered

And these anamatronic assholes on MLB are giving Dusty, the Brady treatment, tempted to tweet to ask them how Dusty’s taint tastes.

Gumbygirl

I have an upset alert for next week. THEEE OSU going down against Maryland. You heard it here first!

Gumbygirl

Wouldn’t it?

Gumbygirl

Correction- not next week, the week after. November 19th. Which is also Gumby and my 40th anniversary. We’re going to the immersive Van Gogh exhibit, and then out to dinner at a really nice resto in Palm Springs, called Copley’s. It’s where Cary Grant used to live. We haven’t been there yet, but we heard it’s good.

yeah right

The immersive Van Gogh is incredible. We sat through the film loop almost 2 complete circuits. Grab a settee if you can.

Gumbygirl

Wait, does it cause motion sickness? Because Gumby is a puker.

yeah right

Not at all but I cannot stress the grab a settee thing enough. Stare straight ahead and all is well.

ballsofsteelandfury

Apropos of this post, I just discovered this guy and he’s hilarious!

His food related vids are really good.

ballsofsteelandfury

Yup. I love his rankings. Pretty much agree with every one.

Redshirt

Based on the perceived bias from LSU being #10 in the CFP Rankings, I fully expect Tennessee to only drop to #2.

ballsofsteelandfury

Clemson Notre Dame is NOT a nationally-relevant matchup. ND sucks balls this year.

ballsofsteelandfury

Their weak schedule doesn’t make ND good.

WCS

I thought if you don’t like Notre Dame, YOU HATE FREEDUM

scotchnaut

You’re thinking of that stupid Army/Navy game.

It’s the Notre Dame Fightin’ Commies, I tells ya!

Oddmakers don’t seem to think Clemson is that much better.
