Autumn, indeed, is proof that God loves us. Football everywhere, y’all.
Team Knifey host Everton early in the morning (7:30, USA). Midweek, the Toffees very narrowly averted disaster (ie, losing in the Cursed Caribou Cup to team #92 out of 92 in the English Football League). But fuck it, at least we made a soccer point. Finally. Must at least snatch a Draw here. Probably won’t.
Chelski/Forest is USA’s broadcast pick for the 10:00 window. Meh. Discerning viewers shall opt for City of Men/Mighty Whitey on Peacock.
Trashbirds host their second straight Spotlight Dance, and hopefully they turn up for this’un – especially with the Bonesaws on the menu (12:30, NBC).
Lastly, the King’s Afrikan Water Pistols close out the weekend, hosting Men Untied for Sunday brunch (11:30, NBC). Our first stupid international break follows, so enjoy it while you can.
JV NFL, WOO!!!
Wahoowa (+28) at Tennessee (Noon, ABC)
Jeebus, nobody is expecting anything near competence from UVA, but a 4 TD underdog? Lots of orange, make sure to flip around to give your retinas a rest.
Colorado (+20.5) at TCU (Noon, Fox)
Do you like Narrative? Of course you do. At least Fox thinks so.
Utah State (+23.5) at Iowa (Noon, FS1)
Good Christ, it appears that Vegas expects Team Secular Big Love State to score negative points on offense? RISE TO TEH CHALLENGE, Aggies.
tOhio State (+30) at Indiana (3:30, CBS)
I recommend a nap here, especially in the Brocky household.
Boise State (+14) at Washington (3:30, ABC)
Yes, this truly is the most competitive of our early matchups. Not sure I’d call it “compelling” but I guess if nap-averse, one has to watch something.
While the Sanders kid was throwing for 500+ yards I was peeling 20 pounds of baby beets. We are not the same.
New thread is 5:55 DFOST, just a heads-up
Even though I missed CO’s 2nd half, I will never regret a nap that good.
CM Punk was just fired from AEW.
I guess he’s no longer a Cult of Personality.
/Right song, right?
I believe that’s the Cure of Personality.

Just got in from Calgary ‘s Highland Games. While the games were good, and a couple of records were broken, the exhibits around it were tiny. I’d say it’s like a quarter of the size of Vancouver ‘s.
Ohio State’s season just ended.
Jr die?
Close call. Landed hard on his shoulder with his arm stretched out.
Also, only scoring 10 points to Indiana isn’t really instilling a lot of confidence in the offense.
Highland Park vs Grosse Pointe: Who ya got?
Highland Park in Dallas versus Grosse Pointe
Ohio State’s other QB wears number 33?
This isn’t working. Found Sponch! in Yinzburgh.
Ah, Gamblor, you got me again you magnificent son-of-a-bitch.

Well the festival is based on self-reliance from The Man. That theory is about to be tested.
God I hope this turns into Lord of the Flies with a quickness.

Did Pitt steal the Rams unis or vice versa?
They were wearing something similar when my sister was a freshman in 1974. My parents were there in the late 40’s, early 50’s, but I’d need a Ouija board to ask them.
Season finale for Sunday Gravy is locked and loaded for tomorrow.
One of the questions I get is what do you cook during football season?
Today I’m making chile verde and a pot of pinto beans. This time of year I go back to my tried and true recipes.
Plus Ralph’s had Hatch green chilies! Bet your ass that was the inspiration.
It smells insane in here right now.
Doing playlist. Shaggy, Afroman, Biz Markie, Bobby McFerrin, English Beat, what else do I need?
Musical Youth
Free Bird!
Kool and The Gang
Bad Bunny.
Iron Maiden, Steve Winwood, Genesis, Ultravox, Queen’s Mustapha Ibrahim (blare that from your car’s stereo and mysteriously people would avoid parking next to you :D)… Or, y’know, you can explain what sort of playlist yer targetting. Ah, and for shits and giggles – Дискотека Авария – Зло
Eurobeat for driving!
Ramones.
Christ, the ABC feed for Boise/Wash looks like booty. I don’t think its even 720. I hear the PAC12 Network is gonna have some nice equipment for sale the Mouse should buy.
for years my local abc affiliate did the same thing for nba finals games. like watching on a 2010 blackberry
I gotta say, watching someone do something they’ve loved but haven’t gotten to do in too long is a joy. Which is to say watching Senorita Weaselo, a hotshot swimmer throughout her school days, be in a pool for the first time in what has to be almost 10 years was a wonderful sight.
Even if it kept us from going to the Six Flags literally across the street from the hotel. (Though in fairness it looks kinda meh and she wants to take me to Great Adventure.)
Swimming >> crappy amusement park
The screams of people in a roller coaster is a hilarious swim soundtrack!
Did DHOP take over a Pizza Hut?

-20.5 point spread lol! Vegas didn’t factor in coach Prime
lol gus didnt know that run out of bounds won the game
1sr down
Buffs pull off the upset. Took down a Team that played in the National Championship game
“Played” is a strong word… maybe “appeared.”
At least against TCU the Sanders kid looks like a hell of a QB.
Washington better get use to the 12:30pm PST kickoff. its their new timeslot
First to 50?
Buffs game is great
Crazy shit. Looks like college football alright.
As long as you don’t like tackle football.

Football talking guy: “I wonder if Colorado is trying [an incredibly common and obvious football strategy] here?”
Nice “celebrity coach PI” bailout call there.
It’s good, normal, and fun to play football in these conditions.

COL/TCU will have less defense in these next 7 minutes than January 6th
TCU just Ashli Babbitt’d themselves
He’s turning into one of the Great Old Ones before our very eyes.
In case yinz didn’t know the Iowa coach (or coordinator?) has a real, no-foolin clause in his contract that Iowa has to score 25 points per game or he’ll be fired after this season. Iowa currently at 24 against Utah St.
25+ points every game, or they have to average 25+ over the season?
The reporting is unclear on that; my FOIA request for the full contract text is still pending.
If it’s the average the last few games could be interesting if they’re at like 22 ppg.
Based on the TCU TD I’d say Colorado has already adopted Deion’s approach to tackling: Don’t.
COACH PRIME has recruited some insanely fast guys. I’ll give him that.
Watching this team, though… when they have a bad day, I get the impression they’ll start jawing at each other very quickly. Sideline fights are always entertaining!

Sanders strikes me as a delight to play for when things are going well and an absolute “throw everyone not named Sanders under the bus” nightmare when things go wrong.
I am eating an enormous salad for lunch, because we are going to the local fair tonight and I am going to do enormous damage to my cardiovascular system there.
BC Dick is visiting, it’s 28 degrees C. Basically the last days of summer are here. Oh we gunna drink.
That’s what I did last night!
Someone at my Chicago bar is playing margaritaville because of course they are
That song’s a lot better when you listen to it like it’s an alcoholic lamenting all of his choices rather than as an ode to getting blasted on margaritas like everyone thinks it is.
Buffet had so many better songs than that one, but it’s going to be the one every radio station plays 17 times the rest of the weekend.
PLAY ‘COME MONDAY’ YOU COWARDS!!!
Welp. VA v Tennessee has gotten pretty bad, regardless of VA just now finally scoring a touchdown.
Gotta channel surf and see if I can snag Marika calling the Napoli game starting here.
Wish me luck boys.
Screenshot!
HARD… hitting… ANALysis … amirite Balls?
Prepare yinz bungholes for COACH PRIME all f’n week.
I made about a quarter before I was sick of it.
Not sure why anyone would cover that LOSER next week?
Alcaraz’s opponent Evans looks like a right proper Scouse.
