Early slate was great, so is the night’s. THANK GOD for days like today.
Florida Men (+7.5) at Bonfire Cult (7:00, ESPN)
Billy Napier is a man of nine lives, and if he goes 2-fer-Texas tonight, perhaps he will even get an extension. Bet the under here.
Non-Pirate Kansas (+14.5) at Guns Up!! (7:30, Fox)
Guns Up!! spent big on this team, but they also spent WELL. Dunno if the Twaaaallllllve get more than one team in the playoffs, but I’d be surprised if Texas Tech no make it.
Georgia (-3.5) at War Damn Eagle (7:30, ABC)
The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. Don’t think anyone ever went tree-killing over this matchup, but ah sure ’nuff do enjoy a nice Southern yarn. My maternal grandfather (ie, the non-raycess one) was an absolute master.
Michigan (+2.5) at Troi Boiz (7:30, NBC)
Classic offense v. defense matchup. I think the Wolverines might be slightly MOAR fradulent (especially on the Coast), but that might be wishful thinking (as SC is really the only squadron that could knock ND out of the playoff picture).
Original Recipe Big Love (-2.5) at Arizona Fightin’ Blax (8:00, ESPN2)
Is the Big Love hype train getting a bit overcrowded? SIGNS POINT TO YES. Come on, you Blax!
Arizona State (+8.5) at Team Secular Big Love (10:15, ESPN)
So much Big Love, so little Tweaker Time ,, amirite?? Plenty of eye candy in this one, but as an old I am sure I will fall asleep with the TV on.
THIS GAME I CALL IT CARTHAGE ILLINOIS BECAUSE THE MORMONS ARE GETTING ABSOLUTELY KILLED BY THE OFFICIALS!!!
Here’s another counterfeit “Tommy’s” hamburger stand; a bunch of these dot the SoCal landscape. I think this one used to be a “Tomy’s” so this is an interesting new take. I wonder if they make imitation-meat dykeburgers or something like that (“It’s Better Than Real Meat!”).

Is the one on Sawtelle still boarded the fuck up?
Where on Sawtelle?

Man, the refs couldn’t have fucked Auburn harder if they used a Steely Dan. Preferably a size 10.5 (Rikki,,,don’t lose that number)
I’m not sure if ‘Angry Samoan Football Coach’ rates higher or lower on my ‘Things To Avoid’ list than ‘Rabid Kodiak Grizzly Bear’ but I do know that they aren’t separated by much.
In a related note, the refs in the BYU-Arizona game are tempting fate.
We exceeded expectations for sure.
Have a glass Cubbies and tell me if you’ve heard this before…
Wait until next year!

So, Kentucky Fried Chicken has apparently rebranded Colonel Sanders. He is no longer a kindly & portly Southern gentleman, but now a psycho rage-freak who assaults his own employees.
Well, now the Ricketts and Steinbrenner families can go back to doing what they love most: donating large amounts of money to voter suppression efforts.
Got poured an Oban. Drank 1st sip like wine. Do NAWT recommend.
Last time I had Oban I was at a friend’s wedding at a vinyard, where they’d fucked up the scheduling and brought in staff who clearly had not bartended. I ordered a scotch and pointed at the Oban bottle, which had about four fingers left in it.
The kid behind the bar dumps all four fingers in the glass and then says, I shit you not, “oh, the bottle’s empty. I’ll have someone bring up another.”
I told him it was OK, as I did not want to spend the rest of the night heaving up good Scotch, then went back to the table and said “if any of you like good Scotch, now would be the time to order it.”
I know nothing about Scotch. Why no recommend? The wine sip, or the Oban in general?
Oban is good, but the recommended sip size is different. A third to a half depending on your sipping habits I would say. And first sip is totally different between the two
The swish in the mouth is different and even the way you want to breathe around the mouthful
Sounds complicated, thanks for the 411.

Its a good thing my dad has passed away. I’d hate having to explain why Portland is like that. My usual go-to was “hippie shit” but this seems to be a few levels above that.
I’m nawt sure furries have a direct lineage from hippies

I thought I smelt Michigan Schadenfreude baking in the oven!
Guy currently pitching for the Cubs has the same windup I had when I threw batting practice to Little Leaguers.
Weirdly, he seems to be able to hit 91 doing it, and I doubt I ever cracked 70.
Cracking 70 is how Pete Hegseth spends his weekend after cases of Coors Light go on sale.
The friend I picked up at the airport at 11:30 last night flew in from Kentucky, and took the precaution of getting me one of these to say thank you.
It is very good. I’m going to take over one of Sharkbait’s Friday cocktail reviews and it’s going to be “pour into glass. drink. repeat as needed”

Great job, Roger.
He looks like a very, very, very good boy who deserves some treats.

Hey, Georgia/Auburn, Dragon Ball Z called, they want you to wrap up the 2nd quarter!
Luckily for these refs, Auburn fans have to go home immediately following the game to satisfy the conditions of their house arrests, or else they’d be dead (lots of calls going against Auburn, you see)
“Luke Fickell. Paging Luke Fickell.”
Like x1000. I can’t believe this guy was supposed to be the way of the future. They’ve had shit luck with qbs getting hurt early every year but how can you elevate U Cincinnati so much and then just shit the bed in WI?
Simple. UC is/was a destination school for the 3-star and 4-star recruits and Jr. College Transfers who want playing time vs. competing with two to three year Sophomores and Juniors, so they can turn that into playing against on Sunday. Luke Fickell was able to use that an elevate UC to a Big 12 school. They did struggle after he left and them joining the Big 12, but they seem to be turning the corner.
I don’t know much about what Luke Fickell did in Wisconsin, but I know what I do know. They compete with Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State in their conference, and in regionally they compete with Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas. All the premiere 4-star and 5-star recruits will either go to OSU, UM and PSU or the SEC first. Even if you do get the 2nd place recruits, you will have to play against the larger teams in your conference instead of lower tier teams.
Don’t get me wrong, Wisconsin is a much better program than Cincinnati. However, when you go to Wisconsin, you get their schedule and opposing recruiting teams.
I know OSU/UC Luke Fickell. I loved him. It pained me that he got tired of waiting for OSU to open up and he left for Wisconsin. Even with what’s happened, part of me is hoping that OSU/UC Luke Fickell may become the DC or a position coach for the Bengals, because if he can get the same motivation into those Bengals players that he got from the Buckeyes and Bearcats players, that defense will play far better than they are now.
I know OSU/UC Luke Fickell. I don’t know Wisconsin Luke Fickell. I don’t know what they hell they did to OSU/UC Luke Fickell to turn him into Wisconsin Luke Fickell, but hopefully he can salvage his career. But it needs to end. For both sides, it needs to end.
tl;dr The grass isn’t always greener.
Well, at least we’ve managed to keep mediocre white rap group on the very edge of relevancy for 4-5 months every year.

With windshield washers freshly repaired, I’m just driving all over Southern California washing the living shit out of my windshield while moving.
UPDATE: I just purchased brand new wiper blades after this video was shot, even though these were not that old (wiper blades get more sun damage than wear out here). I treated myself to deluxe overpriced Bosch blades, the Apple of auto parts.

Overpriced and incompatible with every other brand of everything?
TEN MINUTES of game time has elapsed in this hockey game (thats half of one perioud), meanwhile ONE minute has elapsed in this Georgia Auburn game.
Every time I look over its literally in slow motion
They better hurry up. The Draft is in six months.
I’ve had hamsters that didn’t live as long as this latest Auburn possession.
I’ve also tried owning cats and hamsters at the same time.
It’s always fun watching baseball and basketball playoffs because I get exposed to this whole ecosystem of TBS and TNT shows whose existence I would never know about otherwise. It’s so strange to me that there are totally people whose viewing experience is based around those networks, but there absolutely are.
next time you friendly neighborhood Ohio State fan is complaining about Ryan Day just show them this

/am with BC Dick
Flammable!
I’m pretty impressed they managed to take this to 5 games, but nawt at all sure they can win away. It is pretty fun around Wrigley during a playoff run, so would be happy to see em go on!
Note, BC Dick wants his own bottle of Malort and will exchange local wine/spirits with you.
Definitely doable, and also LOL. I should be in Chicago again next week (govt shutdown allowing), will grab a bottle during a grocery/beer run
GunsUp!! might be close to that tOSU/Fightin’ Brockys ELITE tier.
Finally watching the new Naked Gun. Talk to you in a few hours.
It’s great!
James Franklin/Paedo State is the only coach/team to lose as 20 (or more) point favoUrites this season. And he’s done it TWICE.
All other such heavy favoUrites have a 67-0 record.
That, my imaginary friends…THAT is how you get fired.
Maybe a walk-on with a hose can save him.

That coach in the gray shirt who’s like “I see somethin’ in him…” is so adorable.
On the one hand this thing hilariously demonstrates how even an older and retired NFL players is just so much better than even a D-1 hopeful, and on the other hand, how the hell did Hulu see this and say “we need to make an entire series with Glen Powell” based off this clip?

It helps if you’re also a total asshole.
Back in Cali, spent the morning setting up my portable solar panel (GO DIE IN A FIRE YOU CAUSED, PG&E!) and generally doing some rearranging and organization (still getting the details worked out of my new hammock setup). Then horseback, grocery shopping, and now I’m home and settling in to try out a new bathrobe.
First impressions: this is way cozier than I would expect from a waffle weave, this is supposed to be a summer robe but it’s definitely not, far more of a late fall robe. It’s comfortable and fits well, but the pockets are weirdly low and not that easy to access, especially while sitting or hammocking. A good robe, but nawt a great robe, and definitely not a backup for my current waffle-weave summer robe which is what I was looking for.
I humbly request a weekly robe review series.
Weekly might be a bit much, maybe monthly, or bi-weekly during the off-season. Or it could just be a fill-in for when other columns have time off
I was not aware of “waffle weave” so I’ve already benefited from this hypothetical feature
Well, guess I’m ready for some baseball
