Reasonably OK Evening Slate Open Thread

Universe apparently thinks we’ve suffered enough.  But not Hippo – fuck that guy, he’ll watch his team lose to Duke (8:00 on ACCN if interested – and you ain’t) and learn to LIKE IT.

Ballsy: Losing to Duke is not good. However, beating Duke in the 1990 NCAA National Championship by a record margin is SO SWEET!

Kansas State (+1.5) at Texas Tech (7:00, FS1)

Guns Up! again.  But it’s West Texas, do they ever really go DOWN?  Though one is supposed to call one’s doctor after 4 hours.  Assuming one is some kind of PUSSY.

Ballsy: Any excuse to post this picture. I really like this outfit:

Arizona (+8) at Washington State (7:00, PAC-12)

How massive a let down will Bear Down FOAR Midterms have after letting the Troi Boiz off the hook last Saturday?  Apparently not much, says Vegas.  Hippo says bet the absolute monkeyfuck out of Wazzu here.  The Pacific NW might have the three most prolific (or at least fun) passing attacks in Oregon, Washington, and Wazzu.

Ballsy: I agree on betting Wazzu. Zona is going to get rolled. Also, WHERE MY COUGETTES AT??

Auburn (+11) at LSU (7:00, ESPN)

Yeah, it’s his first season On the Plains – but I don’t think it’s ever safe/wise to go 0-3 in SEC play.  Not in that state full of lunatics.  Brian Kelly would also gladly kill your kid (on a scissorlift or otherwise) to get a win here, too.

Ballsy: Am I the only one that remembers when Auburn was good at football? Bo Jackson is rolling over in his proverbial grave. He’s still alive, right?

Wyoming (+10.5) at Air Force (7:00, CBSSN)

What does Brokeback’s alma mater have to do to get a little RESPEK?  Beating Guns Up! and Fresno won’t do, apparently.  They need to travel east and fuck up the Zoomies.  Which they’ll do tonight (bet it and don’t forget to tip your waitstaff).

Ballsy: Wyoming is indeed sneaky good. Take the points.

Southern Cal (+3) at Notre Dame (7:30, NBC)

Troi Boiz – again – ain’t got no defense.  The as-always-overrated Potato Famine Krew ain’t got no offense to speak of.  Sommet’s gotta give.  Watch it end like 15-13.

Ballsy: For teh Hippo:

UC-Los Angeles (+3.5) at Oregon State (8:00, Fox)

Do not adjust your dial, this matchup truly is worthy of Fox primetime.  It’s basically the inverse of UW/UO, in that two nasty, physical defenses will pound the shit out of one another for 3 hours.  I have to think that DJ Ukelele and the Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice Beaver home crowd make the difference in a close one.  Because Chip Kelly can get right fucked.  And put on a manzierre already, there are kids watching FFS.

Ballsy: I am still pissed that UCLA did not admit my niece. Go Beavs!!
