Welcome one and all! I type this as I’m drinking my marshmallow hot chocolate/ dark roast coffee half and half. T’is a most special day as we wind up what has been a very interesting season.
Snack Report: Mini cukes, Pringles, Miss Vickie chips, Doritos, chicken wings, dry roasted peanuts, butter tarts, pretzels and Cheetos. (this is not an exhaustive list, btw) Will I cook chili? It’s too early to tell!
Soccer Tilts: West Ham/Arsehole and Aston Villa/Man U, No U! are featured in the Prem and it looks like Napoli are playing as well.
Men’s College Ball: Ranked Florida Atlantic take on Wichita State in the Peter King Invitational. Hey, 17-3 Princeton has squeaked into the Top 25 despite the fact they’re third in Ivy League standings.
Women’s College Ball: Iowa/Nebraska, usually as exciting as watching the corn grow, is worth a look as Caitlin Clark chases the scoring record. She’s 39 points away which is only 7 points over her scoring average this year. Stealing her thunder in the last game was forward Hannah Stuelke who put up 47 (no 3 pointers) in 32 minutes. The game of the day should be #11 The Fightin’ Whore Ratio’s vs #1 South Carolina at 2pm EST though. Let’s hear it for tiny Creighton which has both the men’s and women’s teams ranked in the Top 25.
Ovie Passes Gretzky!: [whispers out of side of mouth] In most number of empty net goals with 50-something. He’s already the leader in power plays goals (304) and OT netters (25).
Get Your Afrique On: The African Euros final pits Nigeria against the Ivory Coast.
NFL News: Arthur Blank recently cleared the air, saying that Belichick didn’t ask for total control. Blank added, “The reason he wasn’t hired is because he’s just a really, really unlikeable guy-have you ever been in the same room with him for three hours? I wouldn’t recommend it.”
Do your blurst in the comments.
The girls from UCONN are getting pounded.*
*Balls ears perk up
Listen, if I wanted to see a husky get pounded I’d just pick something out of Russell Wilson’s browser history.
/cause of the whole Snow Phat thing, does anyone else remember that?
I haven’t seen anyone in Nebraska this happy since Warren Buffet acquired Burlington Northern Sante Fe Corp for 34 billion in cash and stock!
This is Reedforth Shirtowsky from DFO Sports. Now much has been made about President Biden not having another Pre-Game Presidential Interview, but he says in a statement that it has nothing to do with his diminsed mental capacity, but he doesn’t want to draw attention away from the AFL Champions Dallas Texans led by NFL Superstar Len Dawson and the NFL Champions San Francisco 49ers, let by young QB Joe Mantegna. We reached out to his President Trump who went on a 60 minute rant saying the NFL would never be as good as the USFL, how the woke Taylor Swift isn’t as good or as sexy as his wife and mother and then trailed off wailing “Why didn’t Daddy love me?!”.
I believe I speak for everyone when I say “America is finished.”
When society finally does collapse, where are we gathering to form DFOlandia?
On a small island within an island on Manitoulin Island.
I’m just hoping Dok lets us in on the secret volcano lair details.
I’ll set up a shuttle
Why are we only learning of your NFL Radio Row access now?!
We landed an hour early! That has never happened when I have flown before. We’re so early we have to sit here and wait for a gate to open up. I won’t miss the Owl, yay!
Tell Tay-Tay to move her G6 out of the way, doesn’t she know who she’s holding up?

Pork roast is in the oven and the meatballs are in the crock pot. The labor portion of today’s proceedings is complete.
That’s Rockingggg!
Update: Clark is 8 points away from the career scoring record.
/being one of the top 15 historians on this site I’d say this compares with Pete Maravich as far as drawing crowds. Anyone have similar comparisons?
Just a thought.
Crowds? No. Votes? Hell Ya!

Found a funny;
[during sex] if im good can we get ice cream?
Go 49ers! 🏈
The State Farm Caitlin Clark Points To Break The Career Scoring Record counter tells me that Caitlin Clark needs 18 points to break the career scoring record.
Who’s the sponsor for that?
Geico.
I’ll be trolling Hearts and Yahtzee over at the DFO game thing.
I was doing well for minute, then got pulled aside and tanked.
What time does the spectacle start? I suspect I’ll be walking around Chatham island when it does, but I might be able to catch some of the second half when I’m back aboard and before dinner
Oh, looks like it’s 12:30 start here, so I’ll be able to watch the first half but then will miss the second. They’ll probably show it on Sky Sports, right?
The Google Box says “Yes.”
Google tells me 630pm eastern.
But they also lie.

The weather is kinda rubbish so they’re changing the schedule around, I’ll be annoyed if I’m stuck inside watching the Owl because it’s not safe to go out in the Zodiacs.

I may have had too much coffee.
Sup
Yo
Giggity.
Nebraska women’s starting 5 is whiter than a weekend getaway in the Hampton’s.
[wonders whether I struck a nerve or the joke was just that bad]

So where is wifey today? She’s at a Catholic Women’s Something or Other Fund Raiser Breakfast. Why? Is it because she’s on the God Squad? Nope. Turns out the MIL volunteered to make toppings for the pancakes and then bailed last night. Will MIL still attend and take credit if someone compliments her? Opinions vary.

I hope she just grabbed all the condiments off the fridge door and even now people are discovering the joys of worstecshire sauce and ketchup on pancakes
Soy sauce on Chinese scallion pancakes is the shit!
Toppings?I thought you hat dwellers were required to put maple syrup on everything?
Being a good Dad. Brought the family for brunch at the pub before Dad heads to the mountain and gets blackout.
“heading to the mountain and getting blackout” is also what scotchy tells people before he leaves for a “hunt.”
litre’s theme music later today…
