Ugh, it is soooooo close to December. No me gusta.
Yes, I am still being a Bitter Blue about the Prem. Such is life.
Michigan (+19.5) at tOhio State (Noon, FOX)
Coach Samsquanch finally gets the monkey off his back, but I think this is an easy Wolverines cover. Think 23-10 or some shit like that.
Tennessee (-11) at Vanderbilt (Noon, ABC)
Does Vandy add one more scalp to their collection? Shit, aren’t the playoffs murkily aligned enough already??
South Cakalaky (+3) at Clemson (Noon, ESPN)
Chickens don’t win in Death Valley often, but if they do so this afternoon – it becomes a very interesting resume.
Notre Dame (-7.5) at Southern California (3:30, CBS)
One last huzzah for the Irish and their fluffers on their parade of cupcakes.
Auburn (+11.5) at Alabama (3:30. ABC)
War Damn Eagle, fresh off an upset of Bonfire Cult, fighting for bowl eligibility. Roll Damn Tide, fighting to keep their first year coach from the noose.
Miami-FL (-11) at Sillycuse (3:30, ESPN)
A Canes loss puts Clemson in the ACC title game opposite SMU. Not likely, but possible.
Arizona State (-8.5) at Arizona (3:30, FOX)
Sparky finally gets a betting line to indicate their real boy status. Will they blow their conference title hopes in Blax-ville?
This year’s Ohio State-Michigan game (Artistic Interpretation)

It’s a gorgeous day out. Getting some chores done and it’s Christmas light day which is like an 8 hour Taj endeavor.
Just stay out of the way and everything is fine.
Our couples massage wrapped up. I walked in the mens sitting area to see Michigan throw a pick.
I’ve got no idea why anyone wants to be standing outside watching this game.
The Fightin’ Gretchens just might do the unthinkable.
Or the quite thinkable indeed.
Play action fake to the TE int he back of the end zone.
What a spot!
I had a lovely hot chocolate at Industry City… and it’s been slightly dampened that I didn’t even make it out of the first weekend of the LBDC.
I got hit like 15 mins after reading the post.
Yeah, I made it like two hours. Scrolled right into the little bastard while in the car.
Safe to say Ohio State’s QB is concussed as fuck?
…or a double agent…or refuses to get prescription glasses…
One Quarter to go (not counting OTs)
These bitcoin commercials kill me. “Money only has value because someone says it has value.”
Yeah. And that “someone” also has land, and natural resources, and guns they can point at you to force you to do stuff in order to get some of their “money” so you can pay your taxes with it.
Rikki turned into Ammon Bundy so slowly I hardly noticed.
Sex is also a good currency.

Someone’s grandmother once told me “if you have an asshole, you have a way to make money.”
You got her number?
Found a funny (regarding Westham):
Remember when Ohio State or Michigan wanted to win this game?
Welp, that’s my Buckeyes.

I was going to try to do some chores and/or Duolingo during this Arsenal game but I can’t look away from the screen or I’ll miss three goals.
This is what happens when you turf out Sherrod Brown, you bozos
James Connor signed an extension.
Feels like he’s due to stop production now.
RBs all need to pitch in to a Saquon fund to thank him for helping revive their future salaries
I’m watching Ohio v Michigan. Michigan has five losses but seem to have their heads squarely out of their asses.
Maybe halftime adjustments will make it look like Ohio can gain like, one first down.
Three Constants: Death, Taxes and Ohio State playing down to the completion.
in a sane world, the Vols would now have 11.
We’ve gone full plaid at West Ham.
It’s possible I may have posted a Simpsons gif prematurely.
I apologize to all affected. Mostly anyone who took the under in the Arsenal-West Ham tilt
7 soccer points in a half is really sommet
Apparently this is a first for the Premier League.
That’s a perfect free kick.
As an Arsenal fan…
No, no, Westham is still twitching a little bit.
A lot, actually.
…aanndd Ohio State’s QB is dead.
Backup QB wears #33. I sense a lot of handoffs on the way…
He’s a QB. We’re not at Plaid yet, but we are at Condition: Stripes.

oh my god this is getting savage
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Assistant Coach got flagged!
you get a pickerception and YOU get a pickerception…
Huh. That was such an easy finish I thought for sure it had to be offsides.
West Ham is fucking garbage.
There it is…
You stupid _otherfucking du_bass!
My word! This Gabriel fellow is just like malaria — what ever you do, you just can’t stop him from making his mark!
Somebody call a jizzmopper, the UCUM Bowl is on fire!
Yay Arsenal!
Hippo can sense the Magical Pony RAGE all the way down here in Cakalaky

equal parts impressive and unnerving, that
One thing I don’t like about Arsenal is the blacks.
The uniforms, you racist!!
(they are better than the yellow-vomitoriums from last season)
No, no, we get it. The black and green and red makes one think of Africa, which explains your distaste. It has nothing to do with race.
I just don’t like the shape of the continent. It’s a geometry thing!
They waited until 12:14 PM to raise the flag?
Vandy opens the game 100 yd kick return. Amazing
Lee Corso is 89 years old. Maybe retire old man. How long is he going to continue to do GameDay?
He’s been really hard to watch for a couple of years now. My guess is he still enjoys it and doesn’t give a shit how it looks. If that’s the case, have at it, Lee.
Still better than Pat Macafee.
Probably one of those if he stops he dies, they should just give him and people like Boomer a play news set and tell them its real.

I thought they said he was going to leave at some point this year.
Well, the rest of the cast certainly hopes so.

Playing FITBAW in the snow was totes the best part of my childhood. I think it happened twice.
It was more often than not Dec-Feb for me as a kid. Walking on the snow banks on the way home from school got me in constant trouble. Mom could always tell somehow.
For me it was in High School Marching Band marching in an apocalyptic freezing rain downpour during a parade. The cub scouts and veterans were running for cover; we purposefully did our marching dancing cadence over and over again because we were having so much damn fun. It was also so our spit would freeze the keys and valves in place but the fun was also involved.
Forks Up! Beat the fighting Blax’s you Sun Devils.
Heading out to the mountains to cut down an Xmas tree. 100 bucks at a tree lot in town, or 45 mins out of town you give The Scouts/Junior Foresters a donation and cut one down yourself. No brainer.
We didn’t do a tree last year, for the first time ever, and I’m not gonna lie, it was pretty great.
Ever since my kids were all in high school or older, we’ve been Functionally Jewish. First they claimed I was being no fun, then I said “I am happy to have a tree and decorations. So long as YOU do the work.”
Strangely, they all decided I had a point after all.
Having a 7 year old dictates having a tree.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
It was our first year as empty-nesters.
Partial empty nester, but still need to decorate and put up tree. It’s prelit, so easy to do
It’s fantastic. Maybe a string of lights or two. Been decades since we’ve had one.
[reports both yeah right and Horatio Cornblower as subversives to the “War on Christmas” committee]
Not even a string of lights, no kids no decorating
Ooh, I think there’s an actual bounty for guys like you! Let me go check out the Project 2025 documentation…
The bunnies do get stockings and i do one or the wife as well.
Whatever, narc.
Well I guess we know who is Calgary Dick.
Let’s hope SC annihilates Notre Dame like a cameraman on a scissor lift.
I hope SC buries them like Notre Dame buried that poor young woman’s rape allegations against a member of the football team.

And yet I’m too shy and self-loathing to even talk to women. Fucking kill me.
I’m too nice and lack self-confidence. I almost consulted a lawyer to sue Ryan Reynolds for Gimmick Infringement due to “Just Friends”.

Finally! This year’s Refractory Season felt like it would never end!
Fitting that this year it’s right at the end of No Nut November.

Blew your wad early on that one, huh?
Off to run a buncha errands and then gonna try to get the rest of the Christmas lights and stuff done outside as it’s a nice* day.
*Just above freezing and some wind but no snow
Looking for volunteers to help put the lights on the trees.
Today
Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. High near 35. West wind 13 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 8 to 12 inches possible.
Tonight
Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 25. Southwest wind 11 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 19 to 25 inches possible.
Sunday
Snow before 11am, then snow showers likely between 11am and noon, then snow after noon. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 32. Southwest wind 10 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches possible.
Sunday Night
Snow before 11pm, then a slight chance of snow showers between 11pm and midnight. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 17. South wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.
That’s 2.75 to 4 feet of snow in 48 hours, 2.25 to 3 feet of snow in 24 hours and 1.75 to 2 feet of snow in 12 hours for the small town of Watertown, NY. But remember Global Warming and Climate Change are an unproven, woke myth!!!
The fact that it’s snowing somewhere in the world proves it!
Meh, that’s what we call Tuesday up here
-Canadian folks, trying to be nice, but glad that we won’t have to shovel all that snow
Thundersnow! Got to play outside in a snow thunderstorm a while back. About a foot of snow fell in about an hour. “We gotta go out in this!” It was like one of those downpour thunderstorms, where it’s about 10 miles wide, and clear on each side. Except snow.
Thundersnow is the best snow
/Prove me wrong
You can’t!
The fact that there isn’t a cover of AC/DC’s Thunderstruck called Thundersnow shows that we (and I think in this one particular case, BFC will agree with the “we”) failed as both a society and a species.
Watertown, NY, is just off Lake Ontario, so that’s lake effect snow, which in fact is magnified by the effects of global warming.
Also, I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes around here, but I’d murder a hobo to get that much snow around here. I haven’t used my x-country skis or snowshoes for anything other than holding up my basement wall since about 2015.
Careful of what you wish for
Aha! So increasing the global temperature and eliminating lates will reduce lake effect snowfall! Checkmate!
I hate snow.
If Ryan Day loses this game, he shouldn’t even leave the field employed. Or alive.
He brings back fond memories of John Cooper. Couldn’t beat Michigan. Fans around here hated him. Him not being Woody Hayes didn’t help.
Ryan Day looks like the guy you randomly picked off of Angie’s List to come replace your broken garage door spring.
I can’t believe I’m ever in a position to defend John Cooper but here we are.
At least with John Cooper, we’d have the illusion of success until we get a sudden bitchslap of reality that we’re not that good.
With Ryan Day, the fans are in the know, the opponents are in the know, everyone is in the know…except the poor players in Scarlett and Gray.
Morning. This is the best Bears take of the week:

But we’ve revised Hitler as good now. So Caleb Williams being a coach killer should be looked at in a positive light now. I think — I’m not sure I don’t listen to Joe Rogan.
To re-up my comment from last night, what’s this we shit?
Trump is in charge, Snowflake. Shut up and get in line!
I mean, c’mon. B FARE. Hitler DID like dogs, and made very few sexual demands of his mistress. #StoneColdGentleman
So Alabama intrastate football games have killed a high school kid and a college kid in the same year. All I can say is — thank goodness this was in Alabama so no potential has been lost.
