Wafer Thin Mints – JV NFL Winds Down Open Thread

Man, oh man.  We needed a third late show here.  This is some dire fucking shit.  But let’s get on with it.

Ballsy: It’s 2 AM, we’re slightly drink / heavily buzzed, and that large blonde is not looking quite as large. Speaking of,

B1G Twenty Soon! Title Match – Iowa (+22) v. Michigan @ The Gravy Boat (8:00, Fox)

Twenty-two fucking point spread.  Despite Team Cornpone having maybe the best defense in all the land.  But come on, we all could see this one somehow ending 21 to -3.  Iowa can and will find a way to limbo below the pole on the ground.  Michigan is on my list (like ND, U*NC) of team that I refuse to watch play unless defeat is more or less assured.  So, Hippo will instead watch…

We Still Exist! ACC Title Match – Louisville (+1.5) v. Florida State @ Richardson Family Plantation (8:00, ABC)

Oy vey.  The last two weeks sure took some shine of this’un.  As you all know by now, FSU lost their starting QB (leg pointing wrong way) in their pseudo-bye week against North Alabama.  And his backup looked pretty….backup-like in a very underwhelming finale against the Florida Men (who do NOT have a great defense).  Louisville, on the other hand, lost at home to the Blue Moons of Kenfucky.  Woof.  Their only ACC loss was to the worst Pitt team I can recall.  So this matchup is all about the Cards – if they play like they do at their best (especially on defense), they’ll win.  Otherwise, FSU will score a defensive TD and grind out sommet like a 24-6 win.

It’s not pretty, but it’s all we got.  God bless the forthcoming 12-team playoffs.

Ballsy:  Florida State will most likely lose, which will crack a gigantic window open for one of the hated teams to sneak in. The question becomes: Which hated team will it be? At least we know it won’t be Notre Dame!

Since this is the last JV Footy Saturday Night, Mr. Hippo will take a well-deserved rest. Thank you for writing these and keeping us entertained all these weekends!

The NFL will have some Saturday games soon, so Scotchy will fill in on those nights. Hopefully, we will get some fresh hobo stories.

After that, my goal is to fill this slot (Phrasing!) as fully as possible (PHRASING!) so as to make you all deeply satisfied (Seriously, are we not doing Phrasing anymore?).

Enjoy the games!
