October 2024 “JV Alone” Footed Ball Funsies

Because the current Darkest Timeline isn’t enough for my asshole brain, I am reading Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’72 at present.  Holy shit, was that drug-addled lunatic ever a unique and insightful author.  Highly recommended.

Now, to the games.  Hopefully, you remembered to sleep in.

South Cakalaky (+21) at Alabama (Noon, ABC)

Oh man, somebody’s gotta PAY for last week, even if Nick Saban isn’t there to slaughter puppies no MOAR.

Washington (+3) at Iowa (Noon, Fox)

This is…such a shitty window.  And the best game has a team playing on a 9a body clock, for an 11a LOCAL kickoff.  Fox really sucks in how it time windows its JV coverage.

Texas (-14.5) v. Oklahoma (3:30, ABC)

Red River SHOOTOUT.  I would note that BOTH Texas and Oklahoma have (for decades) overwhelmingly, and almost-exclusively GOP governance.  So next time your racist uncle tries to bellyache about the Demmycrats hurr durr safe space woke mob.

Paedo State (-4.5) at Southern California (3:30, CBS)

Look, we all know that the Paedos will drop the soap in the showerthe ball at some point.  Why not today?

California (+3) at Pitt (3:30, ESPN)

The ACC is such a hot mess that this fixture has become both interesting and potentially relevant.  Still mad at the Golden Shower Bears for choking the Miami game away.

Arizona (+4) at Original Recipe Big Love (4:00, Fox)

Oh, this gon’ be LIT.  Stormin’ Mormons have the makings of a special season cooking, and the Fightin’ Blax will give that Golden Plate hypothesis a stern test this week.  Probably the game of the window, since Steerfuckers North are unlikely to put up much resistence to their Southern steer anusbedellows.

I wish this was evidence of the Shield trying to reduce injuries and not just ass-covering.

blaxabbath

I’d be so far up the union reps ass if I got that fine.

Someone is going to receive my flood of anger. And you volunteered, Some Dick.

Mr. Ayo

No surprise that Paedos have no familiarity with Trojans.

SonOfSpam

yeah many of sandusky’s conquests were not of pregnancy age or gender

Unsurprised

Thompson had a great article in ESPN magazine right after 9/11 that was dead on balls prescient.

yeah right

He wrote some great shit on Page 2. That was the best stuff the 4 letter ever did.

Doktor Zymm

Looks like I’m getting the SF proposition political ads on Hulu. Silly politicians advertising outside of the city to people who can’t vote for the stuff they’re promoting!

Ooh, I have time to play the new Civ monthly challenge today!

Doktor Zymm

Oh boo, the new one isn’t here until the 16th

yeah right

Folks, I woke up today on a mission.

The other day I noticed something moving on my red pepper flake bottle.

I have pantry moths.

Motherfucker.

I grabbed a trash bag and started throwing shit out.

Then I noticed they got in my semolina flour.

My fresh pasta flour!

Then I put on my war face and called in the air strike.

This aggression will not stand, man!

Mr. Ayo

Burn it all down. Collect insurance. Find a new apartment.

Wait, first step is remove all valuables.

litre_cola

Kill it with fire

Redshirt

Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Doktor Zymm

Airtight containers for flour and sugar and such should go on your xmas list. Those things are great

yeah right

Completely agree.

I think they hitchhiked in one of my bags of chilies and I have (had) a LOT of chilies.

litre_cola

Moar Oban. Hell MOAR white wine!

Mr. Ayo

Fun fact: I call vodka white wine to seem classy.

litre_cola

Very potatoey?

Mr. Ayo

My tasting notes on Kirkland Vodka are subtle hints of citrus and rose and the texture is silky.

Titos is better, but can’t beat the Costco price.

Doktor Zymm

An excellent value!

litre_cola

IMO Titos is phenomenal

Doktor Zymm

Chopin was always my favorite fancy vodka, but Titos is a solid bar staple

Mr. Ayo

Never heard of that one, or had it. Looks like my local liquor store has it though. Will try!

Doktor Zymm

It’s potato-based while most of the premiums are grain-based. Gives it a light, sweet note in the finish. Super good. Also try and pick up some Zubrowska if you’ve never had it, buffalo grass infused vodka, mixes great with apple juice

Mr. Ayo

*starts vodka list in notes app*

SonOfSpam

Someone is having a more interesting day than I am so far.

HOWEVER, I just dropped off my family’s completed ballots, which is to say, FUCK YOU MAGA!!!

Gumbygirl

I tried to drop ours off yesterday. City Hall was closed at 3:45, no sign on the door. Their regular hours weren’t even posted. I think they’re closed on Monday for Indigenous Peoples Day, so I will turn them in Tuesday.

SonOfSpam

We’re lucky to have a drop box nearby, which helps my “avoid people always” strategy.

Gumbygirl

The drop box is inside City Hall. Not convenient!

yeah right

I handed mine directly to my mail team with explicit orders to deliver it directly.

They’re a good crew.

yeah right

Solid baseball game.

Tigers punched way above their weight this year.

SonOfSpam

And, like the Commanders, the Guardians found success when they got less racist.

THERE’S A LESSON HERE.

Brocky

So I’m in a bar enjoying a mid day meal, been watching the baseball game on mute for like 30

And I’ve just realized it’s the Spanish broadcast…

Do with this information what you wish

Brocky

Also the game was on delay

Love my inlaws. As they shoot Akavit, I get this.

You’re saying these Cocks need to stiffen and stand tall then they can start pounding away?

Oh, they also need better penetration.

Need to pull out of a blitz at the right time too.

I sent the kid and wife off at the airport this am. Hit the gym and got home to turn on some Georgia Tech v UNC rando action.

Got a punt return td out of it. So this time alone is looking good.

Also, how does UNC have 4 noncon games already?

Here’s my problem with ‘tough old white guy LIKE YOU says vote Kamala’ commercials.

Every single dude who looks like them I’ve ever met is 100% voting Trump and possibly hanging out armed at ballot boxes over the coming weeks.

I want Rihanna, Colin Kaperknic, and Tupac’s hologram in a commercial like, “Vote Kamala and you can say it.”

Mr. Ayo

COCKS!

Jedi mind tricking them to ask me to open a white. I think MIL is on board at noon. That is too damn far away.

A white drink you say?

Say a prayer for my MIL-she wanted to host a Thanksgiving dinner on Monday but everyone chose something else to do, so now she’s switched it to Sunday and calling all her nieces and nephews to guilt their parents into showing up. This is what trying to grift and steal money from your kids for over 50 years gets you.

blaxabbath

It truly is a time of Fuck Your Feelings.

WCS

I would wager if you took her on a weekend “hunt” of yours, you and your wife wouldn’t hear from her very much again.

scotchnaut

Just as an addendum-I’d like to remind you that my SIL has “hard water” at her place so they wash their clothes at MIL’s place (10 minutes away) for which MIL charges a monthly fee. I’d also like to point out that BIL is a forgetful guy and sometimes leaves money in the pockets of his pants. MIL keeps everything she finds because of course she does.

Mr. Ayo

Why have enemies when you can have family.

— Q.A. ron

Don T

Dear family: I hate the “in law” formality. My love and devotion for you is overwhelming. That is beyond question.
Still, there’s mandatory tomorrow and I finally got my ass in shape to be in the couch all day, without shifting.
Happy Thanksgiving, save me the giblets.

Clemson-Wake Forest is the JV equivalent of finding an old, unnoticed brown stain in your sheets.

I have edibles with me to take the edge off in the morning. Watching Scotland play with UW Iowa in the background.

She would not be allowed on Italian sports TV dressed like that. Ladies do not wear sweatshirts here. They show cleavage.

If I made it with You, Zymm in Vegas, I can make it here.

I got no sleep last night. Zero. I have trouble sleeping during the day. Gumby has had a whole string of bad nights, so I don’t really expect tonight to be much better. By the London gamr tomorrow morning, I will look like this guy

Working on 16 here and starting to get a little silly.

Also, Mizzou is hosting UMass this week? That’s a way to prove the doubters wrong, guys.

blaxabbath

ASU beat Utah at home last night. Big deal for ASU.

I love it. Utah is clearly way overrated (UA beat them too; OK St nearly beat them) — which has been coming since the offseason — and now ASU is started to have hope. And what’s that thing RockingDog says about hope?

Most importantly, this guy’s comment is awesome. Dillingham will be out of ASU faster than you can say, “110 degrees in October!”

Woke up to a message from the school Friday around 5:00 in the morning that due to an armed and dangerous fugitive being pursued through the town by police, school would be cancelled for the day. A couple of hours later we get a follow up message saying the suspect was in custody and after-school events (the football game) could proceed as normal. An hour or so after THAT comes the update to the update saying due to “the effect of the tragedy on the school community” the game would be postponed. Through the grapevine of this extremely small town, I’m hearing a 17 year old kid attacked the parents of his ex-girlfriend. Stabbed the mother to death and stabbed and shot the father. Monday is a holiday, thank god. Then on Tuesday I’ll introduce the kids to “Dark Side Of The Moon” or some fucking thing. Anything to give them advice and a perspective on life that is universal, curious, and broad. Because NOTHING happening in this place is worth ending your life over.

blaxabbath

Deny the family ever existed.

2Pack

There has been a few of those here lately. Teenagers killing girlfriends and in some cases families. Not sure how much violence in the media has to do with it, but I suspect that, and inattentive family situations are contributing. I just don’t recall this many happening in years past.

BugEyedBoo

Gets directed inward sometimes too. This happened at a high school back home that was situated right next to the interstate. Kid went to school, made a big scene, then a few minutes later stepped out of the trees right in front of a semi.

Social media doesn’t help. Personal experience with my daughter, even the ones that have a lick of sense get caught up in it, and what the rest of the school will think. Which was a thing back in the stone age, but social media causes a positive feedback.

2Pack

Yeah our peer pressure was word of mouth. Today it’s amplified with social media.

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t understand this sort of behavior at all, mostly because my ex-girlfriends’ parents liked me more than the ex-girlfriend did.

Also I will bet $100,000 that the kid in this situation is white, because he is ‘in custody’ and not ‘shot to death while resisting arrest,’ which is a real missed opportunity by the cops, because there is no chance anyone would complain about it given the circumstances.

blaxabbath

If he were black, it wouldn’t have been labeled a tragedy. It would be proof that The Threat is at Our Door.

BugEyedBoo

You mean transgender illegal immigrants.

Fronkenshteen

Not sure who he is because he’s a minor and the news won’t reveal the name. But I know he was found one county over by a search helicopter responding to a vehicle fire. He burned himself up somehow, was apprehended, and was airlifted to a D.C. hospital. Lot of blanks still to be filled in. The ones filled in already sure stink, though.

blaxabbath

Cut they smell of charred flesh.

Fronkenshteen

Put in a 6-team parlay at 12:00

WAKE FOREST +20.5 vs Clemson
Missouri -27.5 @ UMASS
Wisconsin (ML) @ RUTGERS
ALABAMA -21.5 vs S. Carolina
ARMY -27.5 vs UAB
Washington @ Iowa UNDER 41.5

This was the result of approximately eleven minutes research and I’ve barely watched a minute of college ball this season. Any parts of this look doomed to explode on take-off to you sharps in the clubhouse?

blaxabbath

I mean, the methodology alone was enough to make me start researching How To Open A Sportbook.

Fronkenshteen

Tough, but fair.

blaxabbath

Also, these CFB spreads are insane. And I can see Missouri up 26 in the 4th and the conference chair calls in, “run it up. We’re going to document how bad everyone does ATS as the next filter decide who stays and who goes.”

Mr. Ayo

I can’t imagine my day being ruined by Rutgers, but here you are.

Good luck and god bless.

Hunter Thompson’s description on Edmund Muskie is absolutely amazing.
