Technically, it was still summer before. And summer can get right fucked.
It’s not all rainbows and sunshine, as we get NO early morning fixture. GUH. Only three in the 10:00 window, as we go “Sunday heavy” this week, with some “name teams” in Zooropa. City of Men hosting Robins Hood is…asking a lot to carry a window (USA), but I suppose everyone like’s to see HULK SMASH. A well-kept secret is how badass their cheaply bought “backup striker” (Julian Alvarez) is playing. There is also the Uncle Woy Dawby (Palace/Mighty Whitey) for your streaming pleasUre.
Spotlight Dance is…Praise Beesus hosting terlet-swirling Everton?? But the teevee guide says 12:30 and NBC, so I guess it is. Burnley and Men Untied steam at 3p, which is both accurate and weirdly scheduled.
Don’t want to get to deep in the Sunday weeds yet, suffice to say the USA fixtures are awful, while the likes of the North London Derby are Peacocked. BLECH.
Florida State (-1.5) at Clemson (Noon, ABC)
Time for St. Dabo to play the Rodney Dangerfield “No Respect” card, but I just can’t possibly believe this much in a 21st century Semenholes squadron, Both these teams can eat shit, for all I care.
Oklahoma (-14) at Cincinnati (Noon, Fox)
This looked WAY more interesting before JV WKRP lost to Miami last week. That’s the OHIO varietal of Miami, to clarify. Still, anybody thinking Steerfuckers North is legitimately good might just want to think again.
Auburn (+8) at Texas A&M (Noon, ESPN)
There will be panic and/or possibly blood in College Station if Bonfire Cult loses this one. I’d pay good money to watch Bobby Petrino disembowel Jimbo on live teevee, wouldn’t you?
Colorado (+21) at Oregon (3:30, ABC)
When Vegas begs you this hard to bet the underdog moneyline? You really, REALLY shouldn’t.
UC-Los Angeles (+5) at Utah (3:30, Fox)
That said, Vegas clearly believes way more in Westwood Klavern than Hippo does. Original Recipe Big Love all the way, y’all!
Ole Miss (+7) at Alabama (3:30, CBS)
Yes, I get it. Nick Saban is surely pissed off. But he still ain’t got no quartered back. Or maybe he just pulled a genius move in getting the fanbase off Milroe’s back? Because options 2 and 3 sure looked bad, and not-just-bad-for-Bama, PAAAAAAWWWWWLLLLL.
Pulled up the Morganhole fixture on el plus. I see why WCS gets so irritated with these.
Colorado loses by 36 and the announcers absolutely will not stop sucking off Deion.
FIVE minutes to
Wopnernight thread!I was worried for a second Colorado today would have less points than Deion has toes
Fuck your shut out, Duke.
Schools in both Maine and Southern California have bears for their mascots. WEIRD.
Really helps Buddy rack up those airline miles.
There’s three holes in Orono for a reason
The Maine ones are specifically black, making Orono the most diverse town in Maine.
BABY bears!
BRUINS SHOW SIGN OF LIFE
Still gonna lose, probably in heartbreaking fashion.
the Secular Angel Moroni is not impressed, esse.
THIS GUY DEION SANDERS I CALL HIM FRANK STALLONE BECAUSE HE’S A BROTHER TAKING A BEATING ON NETWORK TV
Oregon celebrating teachers like its athletic budget for two seasons wouldn’t fuel the entire state’s educational budget for a decade.
Show me a Social Studies class that get 2 million viewers and you got yourself a deal
Society is beyond salvation. Whether it’s religious fundamentalism, rising fascism, and/or global warming? There is a 0.00000001% chance society will walk back from the brink. Just give us FITBAW and drugs/beer, please.
Hey this country was founded on religious fundamentalism, buddy, show it some respect!
I’m glad I’m old. My portion of the shitshow will be mercifully small.
4th and 23? JV HOTTY TODDY BLITZ!!
And they converted it? Time to retire Saban, I mean Satan.
This Canadian Thanksgiving I’ll be challenging my oldest to a timed half-lake swim. This would have been unthinkable 10 years ago. Shoutout to that whole Global Warming thingy everyone is talking about.
The story of the window is, for me – Johnny Reb is confirmed as a fraud. There’s fuck shit in the SEC West this season. 2nd best team in the league might just be* Kenfucky.
*but really, probably not (I just don’t want to lift Brian Kelly’s spirits in case he’s considering seppuku)
Duke’s second-string QB is named Grayson Loftis? Are we just ignoring this?
The issue with Duke FITBAW is always gonna be depth. You can only hide so many dumb guys in a small school like that, which is why they’ve always been hoopsball-focused
Like he’s ignoring whatever shameful family skeletons are deep in the closet? Yeah, probably.
Oh men. Just got up from a quality nap on the couch. Mrs. Horatio has a shepherd’s pie going for dinner, and Colorado is down 42-0. What a great day.
Now to take a big sip of water and turn on the UConn game…
…and there’s goes the composure and discipline.
OK maybe Alabama only loses 4 this season.
8-4 ought git em in that thar playoff PAAAWWWWLLLLL wut say yew>
Gets them an invite to the Gasparilla Bowl
And still be the third playoff seed.
“We all feel that #24 Alabama earned an opportunity…”
They’re fighting for clicks, we’re fighting for wins.
Someone is carrying a Colorado-sized chip on his shoulder.
This is why I hate players/coaches who talk trash. If you’ve got a point to make, make it on the scoreboard. If you score a touchdown or make a great play, act like you’ve done it before and you’ll do it again.
It’s 100% pro wrestling, these opposing coaches kind of get off on their “role” in all this “heel v face” posturing.
Quick look in at Oregon:
Searching for

I genuinely have no idea what’s happening in this match.
Neal Brown LIFETIME Contract!
stoopid… so very, very fucking stoopid
We keep our mediocrities forever and ever, too. Absolutely kills the fan base, having no hope.
Alabama struggling at home is the way bigger story this afternoon imo.
They have looked consistently mediocre, home and away. Is just MOAR of the same.
“Alabama struggling at home…”
Parking brake go on the trailer again?
Ok, good news, bad news with the laptop my buddy sent me.
Good news, it boots up and soon I can haz GTX4090 goodness
Bad news, laptop is basically unusable with just 8 gigs of RAM and a paltry 256 gigs of storage (my roomie didn’t pay attention to the configurator that the “base package” is so .. basic) so I’ve got to bolt to get me a bit of storage and memory
Everyone can be great when things are going great. But when things go to hell, you find out exactly who someone really is.
Mannie Libbock more like Liability-bok, amirite?
Will ABC switch to a more competitive game for the 2nd half in place of Colorado/Oregon?
Probably a pop warner game going on somewhere
“We now join the Hell Snowball Making Contest, already in progress…”
Why is this announcer ball washing the Colorado QB?
Gotta stick to The Narrative: College Football Edition.
I CALL THESE CURRENT DFO’ERS “HILLARY SUPPORTERS IN 2016” BECAUSE THEY LOVE HATING ON SANDERS.
It’s not hating, it’s watching some loud mouth get his just desserts. Okay, I hate him.
I do believe Coach Sanders.
I BELIEVE YOU’RE GETTING THE SHIT KICKED OUT OF YOU
Oregon better not take their foot off the gas.
My son bet the over – 63 – no way he hits that one
Depends on if Oregon’s coach hates Deion. If he does, the Ducks may hit the over by themselves.

Ah, we’ve got a Jerry Glanville situation. Fantastic.
SIX 3-and-outs for Westwood Klavern. In the FIRST HALF
Second half team?
THIS SANDERS I CALL HIM THE GOAT, BECAUSE HE’S BEEN EATING GRASS ALL DAY
THIS is why he should have kept some of the leftover chum, so they could soak up the beating after halftime.
UConn getting squarshed by the Dookies. Hoooboy, I fear for Lowratio!

I haven’t seen anyone exposed this horrifically since that time I was a teenager and I forgot to clear the family computer’s browser history.
Banner?
… you didn’t use a secondary account (with fast user switching), a livecd distro (that automatically that didn’t retain a browsing history) or even just a simple secondary browser?
Mistakes were made.
Serious question – were you of the dial up generation or the isdn/ proper internet generation.
1st generation. AOL.
In my defense, I didn’t figure out you can sign on to AOL and then open the web browser which would then work if AOL is signed in. I just got lazy and overconfident.
My mom found it hilarious though.
lol, the closest experience to ^ was my parents caught me with a computer* on the can, ’cause I had a nice little food poisoning courtesy of my school’s caffeteria. And no, not a laptop – 21” CRT, Tower and modem cable, ’cause it was rare at home to have uncontested access to the phone line and I distinctly remember the songs I was trying to download from Napster at a blazing 4KB/s 😀
I call bullshit on this Home Depot commercial. In the history of the human race, a family has never walked in there smiling.
THIS COLORADO D LINE, I CALL THEM LINDA LOVELACE BECAUSE THEY’RE JUST GETTING IT RAMMED DOWN THEIR THROAT OVER AND OVER.
Games with the legendary “pop o matic” feature lasted about three days in my house.
THIS GAME, I CALL IT AN AMERICAN INDIAN’S NIGHTMARE, BECAUSE THERE ARE BUFFALOS BEING SLAUGHTERED ALL OVER THE GRASS
A lot of sportsballwriter crow being Carpentered up this afternoon!
And I love it.

NOBODY wants to think about old people fucking, ABC!
My wife is making goulash this week. I expect a prison-riot level reaction from my sons.
Just make sure they’re hungary.
If they don’t like it, just give them some expired MREs. The 4 fingers of death or the vomelette seem to be a sure-fire way to get people to appreciate most home cooking (though in all fairness.. neither is as bad as claimed)
The vegetarian MREs were always the worst in my experience.
Still are – unlike the vomelette – the spinach fetuccine truly is horrible. Somehow it’s devoid of all taste, yet also manages to taste “off”. Honestly, I’d wager that this is actually included into cases as a secret test for infiltrators*. If someone willingly opens one (when not already experiencing the joys of acute startvation), that person most likely is an enemy and should be executed on the spot.
*Like asking about baseball stuff in old movies about Bastogne
I love bad puns.
Alabama might lose 6 games this year
Can you say that again. Slower.

Ok, ‘Johnny Sextoy’ is a pretty kickass nickname for a rugby player or anyone really
“The Chair recognizes the Honorable Mr. Johnny Sextoy, Senator from Alabama.”
Unrelated – If I’m stuck in this town and dealing with these people for one more week, I’m putting in my notice for my day job and resigning my commission. On the bright side…. I got me a care package from Arizona, so I am feeling less genocidal than yesterday evenin’
Have you gone to the pathology museum?
Arizona care package? AMARG packing em up fast these days.
Sadly no, but still plenty of fun. Everclear, Bacardi 151, a laptop (because of a bet we had) and a signed box sets for Babylon 5, Buffy and Angel from my roomie in college.
South Africa’s kicking game is absolute shit.
Yeah, that wasn’t a particularly steep angle for a conversion
Again dammit!

Colorado Buffaloes, that is.
I love this. It is mine now!
Seems like these ducks have some fight in them.
I rescued a duckling from the pool a few months ago. Little fucker was strong! And fast.
