Holiday House Saturday Lesser Footy

I guess it makes sense to feature this during Thanksgiving:

Fuck, ain’t that just amazing work?  Now, exit your nostalgic stupor, we’ve got FOOTBALL to watch.

City of Men take on the filthy Redshite, bright and early (7:30, Peacock).  YMMV, but I can’t really bear to watch.

Robins Hood and Trashbirds get the 10:00 window TV coverage (USA).  Fairly interesting matchup, I suppose.  Knifey/Cherries and Bonesaws/Chelski (the Oligarch Derby?) are your primary streaming alternatives.

Depending on how the Early Bird Special goes, the Spotlight Dance (Prais Beesus hosting King’s Afrikan Water Pistols – 12:30, NBC) could have major ramifications at the top.  I can’t quite decide how seriously to take the Gooners as title challenger.  It’s certainly not out of the question, though.  Bees have found a little form, and could make the Clubhouse favoUrites sweat, at least.

Proper good Sunday Funday doubleheader, with Spurs Villa (9:00, USA) followed by angry Goodison Park Everton hosting Men Untied (11:30, USA).  TASTY. as the Brits would say.  A spicy meatball, in the Bosa family.  Either way, worth your time.

Mighty Whitey host Monday Night Footy, against the sentient wet fart that is Wolves (3:00, USA).  I mean, it’s sommet to do the Monday after a holiday.  Lord knows we all need THAT.

tOhio State (+3) at Michigan (Noon, Fox)

Imagine a timeline so dark, that the ENTIRE CLUBHOUSE (including us non-affiliateds) will be rooting hard for the Tree Nutz, to finish undefeated yet again.  And gum up the playoffs yet again.  But man, do these Michigan Men ever need a kick in the shins, seat of the pants, bollocks, AND teeth.  Whatever order you prefer, just keep kicking these assdicks.

Texas A&M (+11.5) at LSU (Noon, ESPN)

No real stakes here except pride, though Bonfire Cult surely would like an excuse to point and laugh at Jimbo.  Who points and laughs back, counting his immense pile of moneys.  LSU has an insane offense, and no defense whatsoever.  So, should make for a decent watch.

Alabama (-14.5) at Auburn (3:30, CBS)

One last CBS Iron Bowl.  This being at Jordan-Hare, one can’t rule out suspense entirely.  Though probably mostly can, after the waste New Mexico State laid to War Damn Eagle last Damn weekend.  Listen, PAAAAWWWWLLLLL, that’s the Bama hype train revving up!

Arizona (-10.5) at Arizona State (3:30, ESPN)

Not expecting much out of this (lame-assed named) Territorial Bowl, but the Fighting Blax deserve some recognition.  A mighty fine turn around in the desert, as opposed to Sparky’s continuing spin cycle of futility.

Original Recipe Big Love (+17) at BDSM State (3:30, ABC)

It’s “win and you’re in” (Big 12 title game) for the ‘Pokes, who will look to avoid stubbing their toe against the Stormin’ Mormons.  An inconsistent lot, but they game Okiehoma a tussle last weekend (albeit in Provo).

Washington State (+16.5) at Washington (4:00, Fox)

Does anybody play down to heavy favoUrite status quite like The Penix Show?  Apple Cup gamblers are about to find out.  I always think there is value in lopsided rivalry games, especially when the underdog needs a win to bowl qualify.  That said, “Coug’d it” is a saying for a reason.

Fat Guy From Michigan Gets Motorized Ride, Echoing His Near Future.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I was very amused at the subtext of Gus Johnson’s call “he got rolled up on, so we’re not going to show [the horrifying consequences of this violent and dangerous sport] to you…”

blaxabbath

I figure this is why Twitter exists? If not there, would that make a good TRUTH account? I turned on the TV when everyone was standing around like a bunch of fucking women waiting for the dinner to serve itself so don’t know if it was on the broadcast of the play.

blaxabbath

I’d banner it.

WCS

Is it just me, or have there been more ambulances on the field than usual this year?

scotchnaut

“It’s called the Damar Hamlin Effect, look it up.”

-Neil deGrasse Tyson, trying desperately to stay relevant

blaxabbath

And here comes the Amazon Prime Life Services Transport Vehicle to the field. All this urgent response to bring us back to the action is brought to you by the good folks at New York Life, Casualty and Life Insurance Companies. Amazon Prime Life Services now available in many parts of the country….

Senor Weaselo

So a friend of mine (who is a legitimate cellist) is doing a Master’s in conducting at UMich (which was at one time on Senor’s undergrad list, and I have no idea why I didn’t go for it on my Great Lakes swing when I checked out Carnegie Mellon and Oberlin and CIM) and is at the game.

He forgot that they don’t serve alcohol, because, you know, college.

Senor Weaselo

Update: The only schools that don’t serve beer are Michigan State, Nebraska, and Michigan. Sucks to be him.

Havertz!!

Gotta feel good for that poor bastard!

I think broads is such a funny term. I have no idea how anyone can take that term seriously in any capacity.

Gumbygirl

That’s one of those terms that you can’t figure out how it got started. What does it even refer to? Who knows? But it is funny, in a Rat Pack kind of way.

Horatio Cornblower

Arsenal slowly realizing that shooting the ball towards the net can result in good things like corners.

Horatio Cornblower

I checked out at 19-0.

Much happier watching Arsenal stagger through the 2nd half against Brentford, seemingly with no interest in taking over first place.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s called “starfishing”.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

with regards to your suggestion below, I wish we’d alerted the band director to his many, many options:

Alcoholic Ice Tea Beverage Update:

Apparently wifey’s friend left behind an Arizona Lemonade can, which I’ll be drinking. And the son has parked two Nestea alcoholic iced teas in the second fridge. That’s four different types of boozy iced teas that I’ll be drinking today. Life is varied and wonderful.

blaxabbath

You always been an iced tea person? Ice tea people just into that stuff from a young age? Grow up drinking that claymation Brisk stuff?

Downhill skiing seems to lend itself to attractive types. A real ‘Daddy’s rich and Momma’s good-looking’ thing I suspect.

Oh man would I like to be up to my [redacted] in her [redacted]-Behramis.

Perhaps with her winnings she could purchase some socks that don’t have holes in them?

/Italian skier makes a slight mistake

Announcers: Oh, that’s a huge mistake. That’ll cost her. Surely that trollop will regret that decision to end of her days!

/Italian skier takes over first place

/Shiffrin loses time over a couple of gates

Announcers: Just sheer genius the way she let up on her speed to set her up for the bottom gates. Truly she is a magical creature who can do no wrong!

Shiffrin was in first with 3 skiers to go. Next one wiped out, the one after her went down the route with the announcers criticizing everything she was doing and is now in first place by more than .8 of. a second, which is insane in speed sports.

Uh, maybe Harrison is worthy of all the hype? Watta catch!

Announcers just said one of the US women does well but has trouble when the hill gets steep.

That would seem to be a big deal in downhill skiing.

Yay! We got the ball!

Why do I suddenly hear Canadian new wave and synth-pop music?

Horatio Cornblower

Women’s downhill ski racing from Killington, VT, on NBC.

Mikaela Shiffrin is probably last to go. Will she be dressed like this?

The Magic 8-Ball says “signs point to no”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I mean what she’ll be wearing will actually be even tighter. Though if she ends up showing more skin it means something has gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Horatio Cornblower

Snow/ice rash is probably something I could do without.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah, anybody who has ever taken a slushball to the face can tell you as much.

WCS

Because kids are stupid and dumb and idiots and horrible we would put rocks, broken glass, wood chips into slushballs and aim for each other’s faces.

Horatio Cornblower

Children are our future, unless we stop them.

Adding these slices of overripe guava to the tupperware containing pineapple is the best decision I’ve made this month. The guava flavor has suffused into everything and OH MY GOD it is so good.

Any suggestions?

I’m guessing that the upside of playing in a Michigan/OSU tilt is that, at the very least, you could always get a job selling used cars.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s assuming you don’t somehow Jets your side into a loss.

Just to give you an idea as to how out of control things are at the Scotch household, I’m currently mixing Smirnoff Ice Peach Lemonade with Seth and Riley’s Garage Hard Lemonade. I’m totally winging it and I don’t care about the consequences!

If Ohio State’s band is there and if they have any balls, they’d play this song in place of “Fight the Team”.

Gravy Boat. Like the one I forgot to take to my SIL’s and RUINED THANKSGIVING! Again. I have one specifically for the holiday, Pilgrim themed, with matching salt and pepper shakers. It will be a cold day in hell before I host the holiday again, so I ‘m pretty sure I promised to give them to her in 2019, when we moved to California. And there they sit, in a drawer in my china cabinet, unused and unloved yet again. Because I was high, because I was high, because I was high🎶

Game Time Decision

Meh her gravy is lumpy and does not deserve a special gravy boat

Gravy was good, mashed potatoes were beyond lumpy. They were CHONKY! Here’s Das Boot, no idea why it’s cattywhompus
