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.

Reclusive, vulgar Broncos fan. Also a proud fookin' Evertonian. Likely dropped on my head repeatedly as a small child. [Insert George Carlin quote followed by thoughtful nod.]

Holy. Shitballs. Alabama.

Saban’s salute to the Jets was far more successful than anyone could have possibly imagined.
