Do we gots some Lesser Footy and JV NFL? By gum we sure does!
Very Disappointing Everton desperately need United to open a can of whoopass on Wolves (7:30, USA), so it won’t happen. But they are a fun watch (I will reluctantly admit), now that they’ve cast Ronaldo off the island. ten Hag is a very, very good manager.
Four meh options in the 10:00 window, with NBC choosing to broadcast Ted Lasso against the Bonesaws (USA). BLECH. I will stream City of Men hosting/ass-blasting my Toffees (Peacock), but only because I well and truly hate myself. Mighty Whitey gets Sham Town, and that might be the best watch for the neutral.
Spotlight Dance is a tasty treat indeed, with the resilient Trashbirds hosting the full-steam ahead King’s Afrikan Water Pistols (12:30, NBC). Hippo is *THIS CLOSE* to predicting that the Gooners actually do win the League. I don’t think there’s any question that their pole position (heh) is anything but fully deserved. If they are a fraud? They’ll stumble here, and badly so.
Since it is NYE, there is also ample JV NFL, starting with…
Alabama (-6.5) v. Kansas State – “Heckuva Job Brownie” Dome (12:00, ESPN)
It would seem that Roll Damn Tide wants to make a point, here. Nobody opted out, even the #1 and #2 projected overall picks in the NFL Draft. Odd for a non-playoff tilt, but Saban is mad about tOSU, and nobody wants to cross him when he’s mad. But the Unded Bill Snyders are ALWAYS pesky, especially as underdogs. Fascinating matchup.
Iowa (-2) v. Kenfucky – Bachelorette Party Bowl (12:00, ABC)
Nashville really is a pretty cool town, even if you dislike country music (as Hippo does, at least in its modern format). But you DO get some opting out here, starting with Will Levis – smartly presering his inevitable “1st round bust” status, rather than suit up one last time behind the Mildcats’ paper mache OL. Team Cornpone, on the other hand, has opted out of 21st century offensing, as a matter of team policy.
TCU (+7.5) v. Michigan – “Take a Siesta” Bowl, National Semifinal #1 (4:00, ESPN)
As is tradition, the first matchup promises to be a wet bag of shit. Bloodeyes are a well-coached, spunky outfit – but their overall team talent is mid-30s, otherwise known as “similar to the Shitty Wolves.” Lesser Harbs should dominate both lines of scrimmage, and win by three scores. Meh, wake me up for the big one later.
Jesus Christ, there’s so much purple on that field you’d think Grimace had been jacking off for four days.
Told Hamburglar not to give him the extra-strength molly
What do you expect from a life-time felon?
Textbook targeting. What in the fuck?
Forget it Jake, this is TargetingTown
Good news, I don’t have to take my niece to the airport! Time to wash my greens. I’m doing a mix of collards, mustard and turnip greens, with some diced turnips. Hopping John and rice too, with lots of hot pepper vinegar. Tomorrow is pork and sauerkraut, traditional Yinzer New Years Day stuff.
Glad things are getting better!
Finally! I have plenty of weed, and Georgia is going to stomp OSU (sorry Redshirt) so it should be a nice New Years Eve.
the JV Shield will do ANYTHING it can to keep Michigan alive
I don’t think that’s targeting, because it looked like he stuck his helmet more between the shoulder blades.
But I’m OK if they call it targeting, because it’s a really shitty thing to do.
I thought they might get the make up call, since they were robbed of a tuddy earlier.
yeah, I didn’t see that but the consensus seems to be that they got well and truly screwed.
HAHAHA! Fuck you Harbaugh, you sanctimonious twat.
That’s a wonderful way to end a game
Trouble with the snap…
Time is a flat circle.
…ahhh. There it is.
Oh, a dirty play by a Tkarkuk, what a surprise.
Even with the misspelling I know you mean a Tkachuk.
Which I probably spelled wrong too. I’ll just go with the alternate spelling “the defendant”
