Early Morning Slave LaboUr and JV NFL Regular Season Finale Thread

Good morning, one and all.  Stuff yourselves full of the footed ball offerings, because it’s gonna start tapering off.

I am not paying enough attention to specifically preview the Slave LaboUr Cup matchups.  But by all means, discuss away.

Michigan (+8) at THEEEEE Ohio State (Noon, Fox)

I am really nauseated by Fox’ coverage model in general, but shit – guess I will flip to this game quite a bit.  Thank goodness it is not The (only) Game, but rather just one of many.

South Cakalaky (+14.5) at Son de Clem (Noon, ABC)

If only our Cocks had home field advantage.  Sigh.

Georgia Tech (+35.5) at Georgia (Noon, ESPN)

Another rivalry slaughter, but the Bees earned Hippo’s eternal gratitude last weekend.  Give them thar Dawgs a sweat, at least.

Auburn (+22) at Alabama (3:30, CBS)

Holy cats, why can’t ONE of these underdogs at least play at home?  But something tells me War Damn Eagle shows up here.  They won’t win, but Caddilac Williams has them all feisty.

Oregon (-3) at Oregon State (Noon3:30, FoxABC)

Ah, here we go.  Civil War in Corvallis, we should finally get an upset all the way into the JV barn.  Love me some Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice Beaver.

Iowa State (+10) at TCU (4:00, Fox)

Note the spread being relatively tame – and it’s warranted.  Cornpone State has a meh record, but a very good defense.  Bloodeyes could be running on empty, and looking forward to next weekend.

Is it funny that the author of the misogynist tune “Free Bird” died in a plane crash or is it just me?

Brick Meathook

How on earth is “Free Bird” misogynistic?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s kind of funny to be talking about the grass being greener (see below) because in the week the Dr. Mrs. has been gone I’ve gotten the numbers of not one but TWO comely young lasses for – and I cannot stress this enough – non-romantic purposes (one as a potential housesitter, the other for tennis). And it was so, so casual, too. Pretty sure this is how women view me these days:

(note that the Dr. Mrs. being gone is related to dealing with some family stuff)

Think you can find me one for golf?

Gumbygirl

Is that what you’re calling anal now?

‘Hole in one’ can mean different things to different people.

STOP FILMING ME ON SUNDAYS!

Horatio Cornblower

So far today I’ve had one friend call for a referral after getting a DUI last night and now another is crying on my wife’s shoulder because her husband wants a divorce.

So I wasn’t planning on drinking tonight, but I think perhaps I will. Just not driving afterwards.

Mr. Ayo

Pics of the crying one?

Horatio Cornblower

She’s very attractive and a total sweetheart. I don’t know the whole story, (really any of it; this is my wife’s field), but my professional opinion is that the husband’s clearly an idiot.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’d bet all of my DFO Corporación shares that he’s convinced the grass is greener on the other side of the fence and is about to get hit so hard in the face by reality that the NFL’s independent concussion spotter will take him off the field for an entire set of downs.

Horatio Cornblower

I wouldn’t take the other side of that bet with Hippo’s account.

Redshirt

My advice: empty the shared accounts and go shopping.

Horatio Cornblower

She’s shopping with my wife right now.

I presume you’re looking for someone who is uninterested in opiates, so she won’t bogart yours?

Horatio Cornblower

She’s very quiet.

Damn, we may be on to something here.

Urban Meyer-an expert on the subject of teams completely collapsing-weighs in on Ohio State.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’d be more interested in hearing his thoughts on plumbing.

Horatio Cornblower

I’d be more interested in hearing his thoughts on covering up your star TE shooting someone in the face.

herodotus450

You fools! Ohio State losing this badly means there’s gonna be 6 SEC teams in the playoff! Why are you so happy!

TheRevanchist

Because we hate the state of Ohio as much as we hate Alabama?

Ohio State turned into Rutgers so fast, I hardly noticed.

Apologies to Reshirt, but, this is karma for JD Vance.

That puts it in perspective.

I know the State of Ohio pays literally millions of dollars for this kind of top-notch tOSU football strategy.

Redshirt, watching:

They’ll never see it coming! Or going in!

No question about that interference call.

They’re going to be rioting in the streets up here in Columbus, and not in a good way.

Those flammable couches had it coming!

Ohio State is unraveling.

BugEyedBoo

All that dude needs is a pair of Oakleys and a backwards baseball cap to make that look complete.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If LSU beats Georgia does USC get frozen out of the playoff?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’d be pretty fucked up for a two-loss LSU to get in over a 1-loss OSU.

What a loss this is going to be, though.

I’m going to go play in traffic for a while.

Go Michigan!

I first thought that ball was uncatchable, but he got a hand on it. Would have taken a miracle, but you certainly can’t say that it was impossible.

This game is the event that pushed Redshirt from demented, ha-ha funny Bond villainy to “I will ensure the longest, most painful way to torture you” Gus Fring evil.

Don’t worry! Y’all are on the Protected List.

If you’re going to “make a statement”and go out with a bang, do Ohio, the whole country, indeed, the entire world a favor and take Hillbilly Vance with you.

WCS

Narp. When Shane Lyons was “resigned” last week, Brown needed to win out and and win the bowl game. Lost again last week, and no bowl this year. He’s toast.

Ryan Day is exuding the opposite of confidence over there on the sideline.
