Just Another Sabado de los Footy

I have no overarching theme this week.  Keep those brains turned off and treat yo’self.

Fronk’s Hammers welcome Our Brand Is Crisis Chelski (7:30, USA), quite plausibly worth your asshole mind waking you up.  I mean, mine’s will regardless, why not look on the plus side.

I refuse to make any mention of the 10:00 TV match.  You should instead stream Fulham/Geordie Arabia, Very Disappointing Everton/Unded Jamie Vardies, and/or Spurs/Brentford (all on Peacock).  Perhaps Sean Dyche will win the Prem sack race with another loss here, but I doubt it.  We’d fuck up the next hire, anyway.  Pray for new ownership by the summer.

Spotlight is a tad dim this week, Palace hosting Men Untied (12:30, NBC).  As you will see below, the JV schedule ain’t so hot, neither.  Such is life sometimes.

Sunday’s USA double is a monster, with Trashbirds/Robins Hood (9:00) leading into Clash of the Titans, Take One – City of Men braving the assault of the King’s Afrikan Water Pistols (11:30).  Will we get an appearance from the distinguished Gov. Cecil Rhodes?  Surely, we must.

NC State (+20.5) at Clemson (Noon, ABC)

Heavy sigh.  Look, I don’t want to write about this any MOAR than you want to read about it.  But it’s really all this window has.  True freshman QB CJ Bailey will lead the Wolven Sort – who have been complete pants to date.  But Son de Clem are mediocre, and still ripe for the picking if the offense can click into gear.  I haven’t given up all hope, for which I thank drugs.  Drugs are good.

Florida (-6) at Mississippi State (Noon, ESPN)

Failure pile in a sadness bowl.  Losing coach might as well walk home (especially if its Billy Napier).

Southern Cal (-5) at Michigan (3:30, CBS)

I know UM sucks out loud, but I still have a hard time imagining Lincoln Riley’s Troi Boiz going into the Big House and winning their B1G opener.  This is tantalizing moneyline fruit.

Arkansas (+3) at Auburn (3:30, ESPN)

Sam Pittman is basically Fat Billy Napier – each loss just throws MOAR dirt over his grave.  With Pig Sooey’s schedule, there’s basically no way out.  A win on the Plains is a necessary predicate to mere survival.  War Damn Eagle…is really bad.

Arizona State (+3) at Texas Tech (3:30, FS1)

Guns Up! for the Satan del Sols, a surprising and mildly impressive 3-0.  They get their Big Twaaaaaalve opener in Lubbock, and I think this will be watchable.  Possibly even chaotic.  If not?  Fall the fuck asleep.

Team Secular Big Love (-2) at BDSM State (4:00, Fox)

Look, sometimes I use proper names, sometimes their HippoSpeak Monikers.  There is no rhyme nor reason to what I do.  DEAL WITH IT, Murrika.  Winner here takes pole position in the Big Twaaaaalve race.

Last night I had pizza for dinner. This morning I had a bagel with tomatoes and cheese and a bit of fresh pepper. It’s nice to be a homo sapiens and have such a diverse diet.

United should be beating Palace by at least 4. They’re totally going to lose 1-0 after Onana concedes a softie, aren’t they?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Found a funny:

Fuzzi Nuzzi was a bear,
Fuzzi Nuzzi had no hair,
Whale juice was flying everywhere,
Cheryl Hines was in despair,
RFK Jr was very sucky,
Wasn’t he?

I seriously cannot recall the last time I had a fast food burger. And since I moved to the lake my pizza consumption is down to maybe four times a year. I’ve been able to hold off any weight loss by renewing my vows with chicken wings.

I am going to take one for the team and do a malt liquor comparison post. What drinks should I get to compare?

Here is my preliminary list:

Olde E
Mickey’s Big Mouth
Colt 45
St. Ides

Any suggestions?

Is that really malt liquor or is it just shitty beer?

ballsofsteelandfury

Oh, I’ve already got a couple of places lined up with good selection.

I just need to know what the peoples want!

scotchnaut

Now that’s a Lisa Nowak-approved malt liquor!

Bailout Flag, Buckeyes? I guess the referees see the red jerseys and are confusing them for Kansas City Chiefs?

I ordered the Charles Woodson official Raiders Whiskey like, September 5th. I got another text today that their weird delivery service Is going to try to deliver again. To my office. Which is closed today.

This has been the MOST Raiders experience….

ballsofsteelandfury

Serves you right for paying full price.

Dhgate all the way

ballsofsteelandfury

$10 on Dhgate

scotchnaut

Does it come with multiple turnovers?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s My Whiskey!

Cannot confirm due to lack of information.

Will check various sources on the internet to confirm report.

I was told by reputable sources that they’re either eating pussy or lying that they’re not.

If you are ever hungover just go to the local pool and sweat it out!

Ohio State and UC on at the same time?

(stretches thumb and replaces remote batteries)

Let’s do this!

BugEyedBoo

Might have to switch to the UC game if The Herd gets beat up too bad.

Redshirt

Perhaps, but OSU usually has an early Brain Fart Game every year or two.

Let me get this straight, there’s a limit to how much you would watch of this guy getting pummeled?

Would like to thank Arsenal for Smith-Rowe and Nelson. Mighty Whitey beating Saudi FC.

Are you tired of the teabag string and tag getting sucked into the cup when you pour the water in sometimes? Tuck the tag under the cup before you pour! This happened to me accidentally one time and has now become canon.

Teabag?
Tell me more

Wrexham game is on Paramount+!

Twas a good win!

I remember when just last week I woke up without a hangover on Sabado. Well, it did nae last. Went out last night with the injured members of Cavalry FC. 20 something athletes can fucking drink.

Game Time Decision

Said the guy that can drink

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

What’s the “eskimo brother” equivalent for hangovers?

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t have a hangover this morning. Apparently the cure is to get drunk by 10:30, stay up until 2:30, then sleep until 11.

Hi! I don’t have children!

/The cat did get me up around 8 for breakfast and I did not feel good then.

Could go for a classic eggs, bacon, potatoes breakfast.

You could go for the Full Irish instead.

Missing the stewed tomatoes or is that just the full English breakfast?

Unsurprised

I thought full Irish was a keg of Guinness

Welp, this match is over. Time to look for something else to watch.

Chelsea looks good. But also not sure that West Ham isn’t just that bad. :/

I woke up early for this shit? Click. Zzzzzzzzzz.

Over here we get Napoli (currently 3rd very early in the season) – Juve (5th) tonight. We’ll see if Napoli is for real this year. I will update with hostess pics, if applicable, and as is the way of our people.
