4 Oct 2025 JV NFL Evening Thread

Much like the Timeline itself, this slate ain’t getting no better.

Guns Up!! (-11.5) at JV 500s (7:00, ESPN)

Talent (the visitors) v. scheme (imaginary JV hosts), in a classically random Big Twalve battle.  Guns Up!! seem to have spent very well, but Houston coach Fritz has his bunch “punching up” successfully like usual.

Miami-FL (-4.5) at Florida State (7:30, ABC)

I don’t want to watch any of this shit, neither.  But maybe it will outperform my low expectations.

Mississippi State (+16.5) at Bonfire Cult (7:30, SECN)

Cowbells have been plucky early, but let’s see how they hold up outside of StarkVegas.  I will likely watch this more than is logical.

Kansas (-5.5) at Hitler Mice (7:30, ESPN2)

UCF shovelling dirt over JV Belicheat’s corpse gets them a bit of highlighting.  These both feel like 7-5 teams to me.

Duke (-2.5) at California (10:30, ESPN)

Yeah, ain’t nobody tweaking up FOAR this.  But it is an unorthodox Late Nite participant (Duke), and two extremely high-variance squadrons.

Dozens of students hung around to see halftime at U*NC!

These pictures were taken before halftime. How is the Belichick experiment going?

Also took my second real live fire-fire call in as many nights! And I’m here till 14:00, so it might get all sorts of strange.

Not going to give meself too much credit, but, I was never sold on “TEXAS IS BACK.” They’ve BEEN BACK since 2006, and have as many national championships as WVU, UCONN, Bowling Green, and Notre Dame COMBINED.

It’s REALLY gonna suck when a 7-5 Notre Dame or Texas gets in the Playoffs, CUZ DERE SKEDJEWL PAWLLLL

Just transferred a John Connor to North Versailles PD.

No questions about finding a “Sarah Connor” at the police station, and the name “Kyle Reese” didn’t come up.

Oh this’ll end well.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Actually, posts like this will send Skynet on a wild goose chase hunting for John Connor in France, so let’s stay optimistic!

WCS

Just keep an eye on who you talk to.

Wait, hold up, I’m getting a little confused. Are we at the part where John Connor is the future savior of the human race, the current savior of the human race, that weird part where he becomes a Terminator somehow because everyone knows cybernetics and organics are plug-and-play, or that last part where he’s dead but its okay, we have a backup savior for the human race or something?

SNL cold open was quite good. Colin Jost as Kegsbreath was on the money.

Overall it was an okayish premiere similar to last year. Hits and misses, but when it hits its great.

Its nice they gave Ashley Padilla a 12:50 sketch which I think she killed. She seems to be the perfect role for the straight man who can play weird/absurd.

SonOfSpam

IT WAS GLORIOUS AND TERRIFYING

Horatio Cornblower

For those of us watching the Mariners game, my son pitched in high school. He once caught a line drive, and I mean a LINE DRIVE, that came back at his head like that Mariner’s pitcher just caught.

I’ve never been more proud while also been more inclined to walk onto the field and grab him by the shirt while saying “that’s enough baseball for you, and we will not be telling your mother about this, ever.”

SonOfSpam

“Oh, big deal. I’ve never been afraid of balls flying at my face.”

-VP Vance applying eyeliner (ironically enough) liberally

Horatio Cornblower

Once when I was coaching my son’s early Little League teams we were supposed to have a game but the other team never showed. I was covering head coaching duties that day so I just did a live practice for an hour, where I’d pitch and kids would hit and then rotate through all the positions.

There was one kid who wasn’t allowed to play first base because he couldn’t catch. I didn’t care, and when his turn came up I told him to take first. He said “but (Actual Head Coach’s Name goes HERE) says I can’t play cuz I’ll get in the face.”

Me: Elton John took balls to the face all the time and he’s made millions.

Kid: Who’s that?

Me: Played first base for the Yankees before you were born. Now scoot.

The other adult coach nearly died laughing.

SonOfSpam

Kids are never too young to learn about Elton John’s gayitude.

Playing company softball where you pitched to your own team I had a tendency to send the ball right back up the pipe. Which is good from a batting perspective – that’s a pretty good way to hit singles – but does not endear you to your teammates.

SonOfSpam

Yeah, when I pitched (which wasn’t often), it was
1) Underhand the ball nice n high
2) Back the fuck up

Horatio Cornblower

In college intramurals I played defensive pitcher. You pitched to your own team, but the defense had to have a guy behind you who would actually field the ball; the pitcher throwing to his own team had no responsibility other than to get out of the way.

Did the at-bat pitcher getting in the way of ground balls lead to fights? Reader, it did.

Mr. Ayo

You have to be kitten me. Free baseball

“That was a Heisman level effort by that player.”

Keep it your pants, Color Commentator. It was a one-yard loss on 3rd & 5. Its a good play, but that doesn’t make him the next Ray Lewis.

Horatio Cornblower

Like a defensive player will ever see the Heisman again.

Bogdanski

That’d take some stabby stabby

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Something something Ray Lewis sacks Mark Sanchez…

I’m going to go change my spark plug wires, because that’s what men do on a Saturday evening. I’ll also cold-check my engine and transmission fluid levels and then compare them to their hot levels and top off as necessary, which won’t be necessary as I do not allow leakages of any sort in my engine or drivetrain. I’ll check the tire pressures too.

I’m gonna have another beer and then maybe hike a mountain tomorrow.

Hey, Tommy Kahnle’s alive! I wonder if he’ll throw 187 straight change-ups this post-season like he did for the Yankees, with very, very, VERY predictable results, last year?

Horatio Cornblower

Started reading the last book, ‘White Jazz,’ from James Elroy’s LA Quarter and I gotta say, really appreciate him getting the incest and mutilations right out there within the first 20-30 pages. Don’t make me wait for it James.

Also, get help.

WCS

comment image

Horatio Cornblower

The books are on the one hand fantastic, because Elroy gets way into police corruption, his characters are well-fleshed out, and he captures noir in a way that very few can beat.

On the other hand, he’s got a really weird fascination with incest, and it would be nice if some of the victims just got killed and not eviscerated in explicit detail. Like, just fucking shoot the guy, Jim, they’ll be just as dead.

If you’re into noir and you know what you’re in for, great books.

But, again, get help Jim.

Brick Meathook

I read L.A. Confidential and it’s great. The movie is also great but they only used a fraction of the book. Having Walt Disney being a pedophile who preys on his young starlets was a nice touch I thought, in addition to all the other well-heeled perverts. It just keeps on going and going.

WCS

It’s almost as if the rich and powerful can get away with anything they want, even pedophilia. Sure, politicians act outraged and call for arrests, but they can’t actually do anything because that would be politicizing the issue, and times are too tense to do that now.

Horatio Cornblower

They only used a fraction of the book because if they put everything in the book in the movie that thing would have been rated NC-53.

I hate it when people treat their fictional characters as therapy sessions.

To be clear, I’m not saying that he’s wrong to feel that way.

Texting with BC Dick. I am in no way a BlueJays fan, but if they win the World series would the Cheeto in Charge request them to visit the White House?

BC Dick

I say they snub the little chub. Go to parliament instead. Get drunk on BC wine and Alberta premium 100% Canadian rye.
Fuck, do it no matter what. That’s what I’m doing tonight.

And you didn’t even with the World Series!

They should score another run, just to be safe.

Horatio Cornblower

Well, Phillie pitchers aren’t getting any close calls the rest of this series, after the pitcher threw the wrong pitch and drilled the umpire in the shoulder at 100 mph.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Curiously enough, the ump blew a call in their favor two pitches later. Maybe he’s more intimidated than mad.

Part of me wants Beck to succeed due to Fuck You Georgia, but I do have a soft spot for the noles due to my affinity in the pass for the db Buckley.

You absoutely should fuck with it, those things really shouldn’t be on the streets until they pass laws making them subject to traffic regulations like everyone else. Right now there’s no one to cite when they pull illegal u-turns and such

What no preview for Ohio State’s only primetime game…against Minnesota. Nevermind, I just answered my question. Everyone’s looking past this game. Knowing my luck, so is Ohio State.
