Footy Returns With A Vengeance

Or perhaps with a cabbage fart, who can really say in advance smgdh.

Arsenal and the Robins Hood kick off our footy morning (7:30, USA) with the big story being the big fat Forest owner ending his passive aggressive spat with Nuno, and replacing him with another big fat Greek bastard.  This one being the dude who just finished 17th with Spurs.  Oy vey.

Fulham and Leeds get TV coverage (10:00, NBC) over Everton/Villa and Sunderland/Palace because they really want you to buy Peacock premium.  Which Hippo has already done.

Spotlight Dance is a forgettable Spurs/Rum Ham tilt (12:30, NBC), followed by a jump back to USA for Beesus/Chelski at 3:00.  Pass, and hard pass.  Not with alternative sportsball options.

As to JV NFL, the day proffers the following:

Oregon (-28.5) at Northwestern (Noon, Fox)

On the plus side, make it snow’s beloved Mildcats have SUCH a body clock advantage.  On the other side…literally everything else.

Clemson (-3.5) at Georgia Tech (Noon, ESPN)

The Tiggers have done absolutely fuckshit to deserve being MOAR than a FG-favoUred away from Death Valley.  Other than not being Georgia Tech.

Wisconsn (+21.5) at Alabama (Noon, ABC)

Yeah, I’d guess Roll Damn Tide is likely still angry enough to throttle the Badgers.  Because boy howdy, are they bad.  But the GAMBLOR advice is – POUND THE UNDER.  No matter how low it seems.  Thinking this finishes sommet like 21-3.

Georgia (-3.5) at Tennessee (3:30, CBS)

Jawja tends to be the Vols’ kryptonite, pretty much eternally.  One suspects that Happy Appy transfer QB finally hits the wall today.  That said, should UT actually run out to a 2-score lead, I doubt UGA really has the kind of offense to play catch-up.

Southern California (-20.5) at Purdue (3:30, CBS)

One benefit to all these road favoUrites?  You know somebody is absolutely, positively going to end up blowing their own dicks off.  Might it be the Troi Boiz?  Lord, I woild NEVAR stop laughing…

Yinzburgh, But JV (-7.5) at West By God Virginia (3:30, ESPN)

I’m just here so I don’t get fined.  By WCS.  Who would be mighty crochety if we downplayed this whole Backyard Brawl just because Fuckers du Cousins lost to non-THEEEEEE Ohio.

South Florida (+17.5) at Miami-FL (4:30, CW)

I’m not sure this matchup is really good enough (can USF really get another scalp for the locker room wall?) to play hide and seek to find your local CW affiliate.  But the cheerleaders will be hot.

Congratulations WCS.

College football is stupid, nobody denies this!

“After further review, game, blouses, Georgia”

Georgia has two Democratic Senators, (for the nonce), so I’m rooting for them over Tennessee.

Do these Georgia/Tennessee players get overtime pay for overtime? Overtime is the most precious of all the times.”

My keyboard went to some Asian alphabet, what the fuck?!!! Woooooohooooo touchdown!

WCS

Congrats to Rich Rodriguez for continuing to display quality coaching acumen, swapping out true freshmen quarterbacks in a high-stress scenario with the predictable results.

Congrats, Gumbygirl. Yinz have braggin’ rights for the foreseeable future.

It isn’t over, not counting my chickens yet.

SonOfSpam

That’s mean, what with West Virginians neither affording chickens nor being able to count.

(shit, this joke may offend the Alabaman, hopefully she can’t read)

Gumbygirl

Not actually from Alabama! And yes, I can rede reel gud.

WCS

Oh, it’s very over. Do you realistically think this offense can score ten or more in the time left? They’re much more likely to trip over their literal dicks.

Honey, I Shrunk My Balls Alert-

The weather has been cold for a bit but the last two days have been somewhat warm so I’m going in.

Indian Summer fooled me yet again.

Weather: “Highs in the Low 70s and Lows in the Upper 40s.”
Me: “Okay, I’ll close the pool.”
Weather: “Ha! Time to bring back the Upper 80s.”

the qb being named gunnar shows disrespect for charly kirk imo

WCS

RichRod is such an arrogant sack of useless ass.

These refs are liquid cat shit.

Nawt in the #ACC, where academemics matter!

Referee Gary Patterson (over P/A): “The Previous Play is under further… Under further review? The mosh pit itself is over the goal line! Ok, screw this. I quit!”

Horatio Cornblower

Red Sox losing 4-1 after Bregman hits a 316 home run off that stupid Pesky pole and fans start chanting “Yankees suck” proving, once again, that you will never be able to find a greater concentration of stupidity than at any Boston sports event.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

But the Yankees do suck.

Horatio Cornblower

Yes, but they are better than the Red Sox of late.

Fickell’s seat isn’t hot yet, but they are getting the kindling ready.

When they announced Arch Manning sponsorship deal with Warbly Parker that should’ve been a red flag.

West Virginia 7 – Pitt 3 in the 3rd Quarter. This better pick up or else the Backyard Brawl will be relegated to an apartment parking lot.

Horatio Cornblower

Penn State vs. Villanova?

Did they learn nothing from Sandusky?

Horatio Cornblower

I can’t find the UConn game, (it’s on ESPN+, but I don’t have that and also Yankees-Red Sox), but it doesn’t seem like the Fightin’s are getting it done against the Blue Hens.

For those curious, both the people referenced above were actually studying theoretical physics and eventually went mad, taking their own lives and, in the case of Ehrenfest, that of his son, who had Down’s syndrome.

This is among the many reasons I avoid theoretical physics and those who study theoretical physics.

I got YouTubeTV which makes me SOL.

That’s way too much effort for something I care so little about.

/”Finding Your Roots” special episode

Henry Louis Gates Jr: [pregnant pause] “I think you’ll be a bit surprised when you turn the next page.”

Boltman: “Ludwig Boltzmann was my great grandfather? I did not see this coming!”

HLG Jr: “Another thing we found. Do you want to know?”

Boltman: “YES, of course!”

HLG Jr: “Because you weren’t able to connect the dots here, it’s very possible that unrelenting stupidity runs in your family.”

Boltman: “Femur drums can be heard in the distance though, right?”

HLG Jr: “What does your medical insurance cover?”

Googles “How to watch UConn football”

Why does it say “drunk, and with your hands over your eyes”?

Because nothing says Monopoly like being the only game in town and holding your customers out for more money. Even Rockerfeller would be impressed.

Wow, JV Cincy is the one giving the whooppin’ this time?!

YYYEEEEEHHHHHAAAAWWWWW

A wee sweaty head pops up and says
“we’re a basketball school!”

Horatio Cornblower

It’s 31-28 UConn now. They seem to have figured out some things about stopping the triple option, (at least temporarily), and also that targeting is bad.

WCS

This offense is embarrassing.
