“At Least the Wolven Sort Don’t Play” JV NFL Night Thread

Yes, indeed.  At least that’s one pissed-offedness trigger that’s on bye.  Huzzah, universe!

Ballsy: It’s a good thing my alma mater sucks at football and I don’t like them because they rejected my niece. That way I can enjoy college football without any aggravation.

Texas Tech (-4.5) at Original Recipe Big Love (7:00, FS1)

I think this is kind of fun, anyway.  I imagine the Oil Money babarian hordes invading the bizarre Stormin’ Mormon politeness brigade is quite the culture clash.  Viva realignment!

Ballsy:  I think Hippo keeps showcasing Texas Tech games just so I can keep posting this picture.

Michigan (-24) at Michigan State (7:30, NBC)

The one where we get to see if Mark Dantonio has an all-timer of a pre-game team talk.  Otherwise, this will be just another B1G snoozer.  Bet on the latter.

Ballsy: It would be nice if this game was close. 24 points is A LOT in a rivalry game…

Duke (+14) at Florida State (7:30, ABC)

The Devils go into Tallahassee with probably the last real shot to derail the Semenholes’ undefeated regular season.  Which would be fitting, given how frequently the roles have been reverse in JV hoopsball (FSU long being Duke’s bogey side).  But Riley Leonard likely won’t play, and his backup completed a grand TOTAL of 4 forward passes in their 24-3 beatdown of NC State last week.  That…uh, won’t suffice this week.

Ballsy: No way The Dookies beat FSU. No way.

Team Secular Big Love (+6.5) at Southern Cal (8:00, Fox)

Nobody has laid a bigger, stinkier turd this season than the Troi Boiz in South Bend.  I guess we’ll see if they have any capacity to right the ship, starting now.  Complete clash of styles, this.  GO UTES.

Ballsy: How many hot and wet USC Song Girl pictures can I find? LET’S FIND OUT!!

Arizona State (+26.5) at Washington (10:30, FS1)

Kind of weak sauce on the Tweaker front, but Sparky will do their best to get their hands on some hot Penix.  Plus, I just love U-Dub’s banner pic so very much.

Ballsy: We are truly blessed. Tonight, we have FSU, ASU, and USC cheerleaders on tap!

Home. That was a good show, they have obviously been playing together for years. The crowd was digging it.q And these casinos have the sound and lights figured out in their concert venues. My old ears and eyes appreciate that! Wandered around the parking lot like a couple of old stoners searching for the car, but we can use the exercise.

Gumbygirl

Random q, how weird!

TheRevanchist

It’s a conspiracy!

Mr. Ayo

Happy to hear!

Also, can you confirm the venue was or was not an actual casino?

Gumbygirl

It is a purpose built concert venue attached to the casino.1

Gumbygirl

Now there’s a 1. My phone is acting up, awesome!

Mr. Ayo

Woah. A random 1. After a random q.

1 and q. What does it mean? Or is this just the beginning of the riddle?

Gumbygirl

Beats the shit out of me. My phone is going all Ouija. Spooky!

Guess that’s it for Sparky.

Mr. Ayo

So the soon to be 2-PAC is a bunch of clown frauds? I’m shocked! Shocked, I say!

Mr. Ayo

SUDDEN CHANGE! THE HUSKIES ARE BACK! BOW DOWN!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Headed to bed, but it looks like another PAC-12 AFTER DARK…um…I don’t want to say “classic” when a total of 10 points have been scored after three quarters, but..something memorable, at least, is brewing.

WCS

I have never met him like most of the Left Coasters, but I am absolutely, categorically convinced Balls can hit a driver further and straighter than ASU’s kicker just did with whatever the shit that was supposed to be.

WCS

SHA’KHLOR will not accept that offering. Holy piss in a bucket.

ballsofsteelandfury

Thank you and I’d like to think I could too. I was a soccer player for fuck’s sake, I should be able to do better…

Horatio Cornblower

I’d like to go to bed, but ASU is currently up 7-3 on undefeated Washington, and I don’t think I can.

Horatio Cornblower

I have continued on to purchase Xmas gifts for Mrs. Horatio and daughter Horatio.

Buzzed shopping is drunk shopping, and I’ll regret this next month. For now, however, I’m ahead of the Xmas shopping rush, so fuck it.

And how do you plan on explaining this when it arrives for Lowratio before Thanksgiving?

Horatio Cornblower

After everything he’s had to put up with from this site all year you think he’s getting coal? Hell no. He’s earned those wheels.

Horatio Cornblower

On the site I’m using to get hockey jerseys they also sell football jerseys. In the past I bought their “Creamsicle” jersey, and they were nice enough to put ‘Selmon’ on the back and ’63’ for the number.

Today I notice you can get a ‘Meadowlands’ jersey, which they’ll customize with your own name, even if it’s Taylor, and give you a number like oh, I don’t know, 56 for instance. And it’ll be better quality than anything Fanatics puts together.

Gotta get them to make a ‘Forum’ hockey jersey.

Senor Weaselo

I’ve heard of the others, pero ¿qué es joda?

Don T

joda comes from joder
joder is fuck around
but more often annoy
que se joda means fuck it
but joda means party

tl dr vibe determines meaning in Spanish

ballsofsteelandfury

Joder can also be used as an expression of frustration. ¡Joder!

ballsofsteelandfury

And, of course, it also means “to fuck”

yeah right

We should really have relegation for under preforming states.

I still haven’t figured out where they get relegated to but..
My first two votes are Florida and Arkansas.

We’ll just send them elsewhere.

Horatio Cornblower

Every time Texas threatens to secede my response is “motherfucker I will hold the door”

But in terms of relegation I would probably toss Mississippi and Arkansas. We need to discuss who would be coming in. I’m inclined to give Puerto Rico statehood, (Don T sends ghost to my house to pull my feet), and then I think we’re left with Guam. Does the US have any other territories? I could look it up, but it would interfere with my hockey jersey shopping.

That’s a trade I’m willing to make in order to render Ted Cruz, Greg Abbott, and their ilk completely irrelevant.

Indiana can fuck right back to the Frenchies, and promote DC.

Fuck! DC was right there, and even in the continental US.

American Samoa?

Exactly! And the Mariana Islands.

Horatio Cornblower

Both excellent choices.

Gentlemen!

The discussion is about relegation!

Cast your 2 votes please.

WCS

Missouri and Indiana

Doktor Zymm

Oklahoma and Mississippi

Horatio Cornblower

Mississippi and Arkansas.

I will admit that Sarah Huckabee Sanders has a lot to do with the second choice.

Hookworms and racism lately guide the first one.

WCS

A cousin of Ms. Sanders, perhaps?

yeah right

Ladies and gentlemen, this discussion has been completed.

[using best JFK voice]

The former great states of Arkansas and Mississippi, you can collect your lovely parting gifts at the door.

There may even be Rice A Roni

yeah right

That was empowering.

WCS

Arkansas is the Indiana of the South.

yeah right

Tell me you’ve read Frank Bill?

Horatio Cornblower

I’m late-night shopping for various hockey jerseys and college sweatshirts. So far now have one vintage UConn sweatshirt and am debating adding a Spokane Canaries hockey jersey to the list of things to explain to Mrs. Horatio later on.

herodotus450

I haven’t seen a Penix get taken the other way this much since I was back stage at the Library drag show.

yeah right

I needed a good stupid movie day and I made it happen.

War of the Worlds and Hacksaw Ridge.

War of the Worlds was actually pretty ok on second watch.

Hacksaw Ridge was like Forrest Gump goes to war again.

“I’ve got to save my good best friend Bubba!”

WCS

Back Ye Olden Days, Big Daddy Drew called Hacksaw Ridge “Buttchug Mountain” and I’m still laughing at it.

Folks. Back from a ‘Day of the Dead’ party featuring tacos and margaritas based around Mexican sodas. The tacos were good, anyway.

Let’s all see if Utah has a hero for a kicker!

Horatio Cornblower

It seems that Utah does, in fact, have a hero for a kicker.

WCS

Brocky

…fuck I want tacos now

Brocky

You know my town is white as hell when you can’t get authentic Mexican food after 10:00 pm

Horatio Cornblower

My town is lily white, but fortunately we took the precaution of living 5 minutes from a town with a significant Latin/Hispanic population, (and then we moved all the mills to the South! Suckers!), so we have no shortage of excellent Mexican/Caribbean/Latin food options.

Also heroin, but that’s neither here nor there.

yeah right

It sounds like a great day!

But fuck Utah.

WCS

Alas, but one +1 to give.

Gumbygirl

Filled up. Show’s about to start. I am high.

This is why I wanna start some sort of common sense consulting firm. Companies can pay me to look at their ideas and in this case, ask them what the cinnamon toast fuck they are thinking.

Horatio Cornblower

Just programming Clippy to show up: “It looks like you’re trying to post a picture of Hitler. Do you want to reconsider that, or just go ahead and torch your entire life?”

Sharkbait

Is climate pledge arena doing their part by playing with half the lights on?

Mr. Ayo

Apparently. Switching sides halfway through the period.

Parents are watching “Under Siege” and they can’t believe this is one of the movies where I actually root for the bad guy.

Reason to support Tommy Lee Jones: He was actually on the USA side, but was betrayed and tried to be killed by the CIA. No wonder this guy flipped out. If the CIA sent him a letter of reference and a really good fruit basket, this may not happen.

Reason to not support Steven Seagal: He is openly insubordinate to the Executive Officer. I don’t care if he’s an asshole, he outranks you! He gives an illegal order or is disrespectful to you or to the crew, tell the Captain (who’s your best friend it seems) and he will bust his ass.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You know that Jaxson’s mom does yoga.

Brocky

I feel like that’s kinda a given at this point because most D1 quarterbacks seem to come from upper class families with the disposable income to send their kids to football camps and have their wives work out 5 times a week

What about Mormon schools? Gotta get them ready to annoy the public as missionaries.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I think the “execution” part should be incidental. Like, if they survive the launch, they should be free to go.

ArmedandHammered

And holy shit is “Fall of the House of Usher” on Netflix a mind trip.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Can I bring a cake?” is the question the Dr. Mrs. asked her friend’s husband, who invited us to the friend’s birthday dinner. A foolish question to ask, in my opinion, because it conveyed the impression that she wanted to bring a cake. So of course he said “yeah, bring a cake.” And now she’s irritated and proposing things like “we’ll just go to Whole Foods in the morning and get something” and I’m thinking (but not saying) “hey, wait a minute here, when the hell did this become a ‘we’ problem?”

Doktor Zymm

You should make flash cards with standard phrases like “Is there anything we should bring?”

Can’t root for them tonight. Sorry.

No apologies necessary. This ass whooping will suffice

Not the ass whooping I expected

So, which of these teams should I be rooting against?

ballsofsteelandfury

Yes

Yes.

Mr. Ayo

Yes

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yes.

Horatio Cornblower

Maybe.

jjfozz

I’ve noticed that today’s cheerleaders aren’t as . . . top heavy as they used to be.

ballsofsteelandfury

I think the tops are crushing the boobies

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Modern sports bras have also changed the game

Doktor Zymm

It’s also much more of a sport nowadays, most of those gals are close to professional gymnasts or dancers with all the associated eating disorders and hormone screwups. They’ll grow bigger boobs when they retire.

Senor Weaselo

I’ve seen the documentary Bring It On!

ArmedandHammered

Or a rapist, which explains a hell of a lot.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Or Darren Sharper, who is both of those things.

Horatio Cornblower

Or Jim Jordan, who is not and never will be the Speaker of the House.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Brock Turner did, and he’s still in Ohio and going by his middle name now apparently.

The Gophers have won! They’re making really odd stilted movements dancing in the streets of Duluth* tonight!

That’s also when the glacier usually rolls in for the night.

After all this waiting, you finally are going to see the Cult with Gumby?

Got it in one, woooooooooohooooooooo!

I could have sold the tickets the other day, but I didn’t want to make him feel bad.

LemonJello

After the concert, just casually comment on how you wished they had played all your favorite Cure songs.

Gumbygirl

I’ll sing him a Lullaby.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Then go home and look at some pictures of him.

Horatio Cornblower

Could you have sold them to a sanctuary? Because that would have been fire, woman.

LemonJello

I know the B1G* isn’t the most “academically rigorous” conference, but these college** kids put so much eye black on, even for a night game that you could almost accuse them of wearing blackface.

I find it almost bemusing how little I care about college football. I SHOULD be into it based on my other likes and dislikes but I just can’t get excited about it.
