October Sabado Smorgasboard

All varietals of footed ball, represent.

We kick off bright and early, with our intrepid Robins Hood hosting Chelski (7:30, USA).  Is the big fat Greek about ready to fire his SECOND permanent manager of the season?  Remember, they qualified for Zooropa last season, so this turmoil is of their own, dipshit making.  As the Mad Season song goes Our pain is self-chosennnnnn.

Speaking of self-chosen pain – Everton away to City of Men (10:00, Peacock).  Hey, at least Jack Grealish gets the week off!  USA is showing Trashbirds/Geordie Arabia instead.  YMMV.

Tasty London Derby in the Spotlight, as Mighty Whitey welcome the King’s Afrikan Water Pistols (12:30, NBC).  Come for the 2nd screen viewing, stay for Clubhouse barb-tossing!  Folk seem to think maybe it is finally Arsenal’s year.  If so, they need to win matches like this.

Your JV NFL slate, now fully James Franklin-free!

LSU (+2.5) at Vanderbilt (Noon, ABC)

Oh my cats, y’all.  The Bayou Reacts Reasonably, an underdog to FUCKING VANDY???

Washington (+6.5) at Michigan (Noon, Fox)

You might say this is just Hippo’s slavish devotion to the BOW DOWN!! banner pic, and you might be right.  But SO IS HIPPO.  Just LOOK and behold their glory!

Steerfuckers South (-5.5) at South Cakalaky (12:45, SECN)

Oh man, is this EVAR a trap game.  Boomer Sooner rushed John Mateer back, and Texas still pushed their shit in.  Now, they pretty much how to double down, as opposed to letting his throwing thumb owie (which seems kinda important for a quartered back) heal properly for the meat of their schedule.  Schedule gets really rough after this week, and they can’t afford a slip up.

Bonfire Cult (-7.5) at Pirate Kansas (3:30, ESPN)

Bobby Petrino didn’t get the win last week, but they were much MOAR competitive.  Trap game for Bonfire Cult?  A defense-first team is always going to be somewhat vulnerable to getting jumped on the road.

Johnny Reb (+7.5) at Georgia (3:30, ABC)

Shoes optional, y’all!  Is Koach Kiffin’s Korner coming back?  Is Daniel Tosh even still alive?

Guns Up!! (-7.5) at Arizona State (4:00, Fox)

Stern test for Tech, and they won’t be able to throw much with their backup QB.  But their lethal front seven should be enough to carry the day, and ASU has QB health questions, too.  BET THE UNDER.

Been watching Death in Paradise and now I’m thinking it’s been way too long since I’ve been to the Caribbean

Doktor Zymm

I should learn Ffrench (French with a Welsh accent) and open a bar in St. Something

yeah right

Same. Last time was almost 20 years ago.

Gumbygirl

I survived the Corona No Kings demonstration. Didn’t even get shot at! Just shows to go ya, Nazis are pussies. Did get coal rolled twice, by some needledick in a hilariously large pickup. Compensating much? I take great comfort knowing he will never in his punkass life feel a tit.

yeah right

Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!

I think my upstairs neighbors from Hell are moving out!

I’m gonna break out the dance party music as soon as I confirm.

Four fucking years of listening to the upstairs assholes who refuse to take off their shoes on HARDWOOD FLOORS and it could be coming to an end.

Happy fucking vacation to me!

litre_cola

I’m gonna break out the dance party music as soon as I confirm.

If you need a playlist I got you. F my BIL

Gumbygirl

Feliz vacay, amigo!

yeah right

Gracias!

Ridiculous trickery by Ole Miss on 4th and everything

litre_cola

Funny human too.

Doktor Zymm

I’m going to a champagne tent event tomorrow, so I’ll be watching Red Zone on my phone while sipping some bubbles and not wearing my fanciest pants!

litre_cola

No touching in the champagne room.

Doktor Zymm

But what about the champagne TENT?

Horatio Cornblower

Loopholes!!

litre_cola

I would assume that is in international waters. If you have to bet on a monkey fight, let me know.

yeah right

No zooma zoom zoom in the boom boom room?

herodotus450

People who “have a favorite commercial” shouldn’t be allowed to vote

BC Dick

Agreed. But I do like ladies deodorant ads. And the ones with hamburgers.

herodotus450

What about the one with the funny animal who talks? And that one catchy jingle?

Doktor Zymm

That would probablt eliminate most ad executives which can only be a good thing

herodotus450

Clemson losing to another unranked team. Oh No.jpg

litre_cola

Home. Shit game. Got made of fun for the Micheal Jackson statue as is expected.

2000’s House music is severly underrated on this continent.

BC Dick

It is rated just right, party boy.

litre_cola

At what point am I going to throw a chair at you in Mexico?

BallsofLacrosseAndMapleSyrup

Hour one
Set the tone

litre_cola

Then throw on the Sean Paul, because anytime he plays IT IS A PARTY

Gumbygirl

On the plane?

BC Dick

I’m coming off the top rope for you, hermano.

H/T Balls, I got you homey.
Why yes my wife has elected to stay at the hotel with her mom and Decilitre, and left BC Dick and I to our own devices….

BIL on BIL action near the West Coast is the niche porn that gets me hard!

OH FUCK YEAH!!!

Send me the play list

litre_cola

Sent.

I am really sorry with what has happened to Luke Fickell at Wisconsin. Hopefully they can finally let him go and he can get his career back on track.

Bets on Ohio State -25.5 and Over 41.5

Horatio Cornblower

Man, if you’re an LSU student assistant I’d start checking wind forecasts for the next week.

Activation phrase acknowledged. Will proceed with mission.

Horatio Cornblower

There’s going to be 15 minutes of added time thanks to VAR looking at things that didn’t need to be looked at

Horatio Cornblower

Fulham fans after that play

Horatio Cornblower

I couldn’t find BC-UConn on the teevee box, but I did find Yale-Stonehill, in the Other Battle For New England

Horatio Cornblower

I will continue to pronounce Gyokeres as “jerk ass” and you cannot stop me.

WCS

I’d have called them, “chadwuzzers.”

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t disagree with them taking that PK away.

Now, if Fulham tie this game up, prepare to see my position swing violently in the other direction.

Horatio Cornblower

Fulham’s keeper should sue for lack of support.

Fox promoting a holy war, smgdh.

Jesus, what an assist from the head flick. Didn’t even notice until the slow-mo, but that was deliberate.

Horatio Cornblower

Audio so bad for the Arsenal game NBC just apologized.

Mr. Ayo

It’s super fucking annoying. FIX IT ALREADY YOU SHITHEADS!!

Horatio Cornblower

They are working towards a fix, OK!? And I know this because they keep showing a graphic saying that they are working towards a fix even though nothing is changing!!

scotchnaut

I believe that’s called a “blessing in disguise”.

scotchnaut

LSU gonna regret that

WCS

DickRod went 3-8 in his first season at WVU, 4-8 first year at Michigan. He went 8-4 his first season at Arizona, and 9-4 inaugural year at Jacksonville State.

I think we’re getting “Vintage” DickRod this second-first year in Morganhole. We’re sitting 2-4 (0-3) and already losing 7-0 to UCF less than four minutes into the game.

Still beat Pitt, though.

Jimbo

WCS

WVU gets a pass interference call on the first play on offense, promptly goes three-and-out.

Downed the punt inside the UCF one, though!

UPDATE: UCF takes first run 49 yards. Sigh.

LSU has a defender with the last name of Breaux. As in, “Nice tackle, Breaux!

I really hope this works, but won’t be surprised when it doesn’t.

EDIT: yep dammit it’s funny, click it

They’re not hiring Brian Kelly.

Doktor Zymm

There was just something on the radio about how many Americans are buying into English footy teams. Apparently they even have a Whatsapp group

scotchnaut

Look at you, Vandy!

Senor Weaselo

Wait, Georgia Tech is ranked? What hellscape do we live in where… oh, right.

scotchnaut

If Indiana is #3 in the country everything is on the table on fire constantly.

WCS

I’ve never had a problem with The Nerds of The Deep South.

scotchnaut

Apropos of something, the job Bobby Cremins did turning around a 4-23 GTech team and winning a few conference championships was incredible.

WCS

Josh Pastner not doing much surprised me, too. Guy was pretty damn good at Memphis, itself a very solid program. GT seemed to be a natural move, if for the ACC if nothing else. A lot of people were wrong believing that work.

Senor Weaselo

Enjoying my 2 1/2 hour lunch and they have on… Georgia Tech vs. Duke and the end of Barcelona and Girona as the lead-in to the game that inevitably decides the German title (Bayern-Dortmund)

Horatio Cornblower

Who the hell is Molly McGrath?

yeah right

Wha fuck?

NotShogunButShogun

How in the hell is OSU only 25.5 on Wiscy? The real line should be O/U halves coached by Fickel.

litre_cola

There is only 1 man for the Forest job. IYKYK.

Remember this moment forever.

Horatio Cornblower

Well, there’s moment that’ll last forever. Or ten minutes.

Senor Weaselo

Go Fightin’ Razers, crush the competition!

Horatio Cornblower

Fightin’ Horatios play the Chestnut Hill Eagles in the Battle for Football Surpremacy of New England at noon, something that absolutely no one should care about or be impressed by.

Saudi Arabia wants to host an NFL game. Oh Goodell has a permanent erection right now.

Oh my, Cherries!

Also Mighty Whitey will lose by minimum 3 nil today. Khaaaaaaaaan has not signed any back up strikers and both are hurt. THIS is why Silva walks at the end of the season and we are left with some useless lump and the relegation cycle kicks off again.

Fronkenshteen

It’s going poorly for Forest, but at some point don’t you just have to play through a bad streak and stop firing managers? Or am I just being all boot-strappy and stupid – you know, American?

Fronkenshteen

it is?! Oh man.

litre_cola

RumoUr is Silva…

Horatio Cornblower

Have they even considered Aaron Boone?

yeah right

And he’s gone.

Fronkenshteen

I want this miserable fat bastard in the Forest owners box to get so angry he just gets up and sprays the pitch with submachine gun fire at the full-time whistle. I know he has it in him.
