What wagers can I get horribly wrong today??
Gator Bowl – Louisville v. Mississippi State (Noon, ESPN)
Such a shame that Dan Mullen won’t be around for this, as would make for a great coaching matchup. Ville have been disappointing all season long, though, and I don’t see any reason why that should stop today.
Liberty Bowl – Iowa State v. Memphis (12:30, ABC)
I guess Memphis is favoured because…de facto home game? Iowa State beat Oklahoma on the road, what exactly is the Tiggers’ claim to fame, other than another Paxton Lynch clone at QB?
Fiesta Bowl – Washington v. Paedo State (4:00, ESPN)
Surprisingly (to me), the B1G is doing very, very well in exhibition play, and the PAC 12+ is falling on they faces. I…wouldn’t expect this to be the matchup that changes that narrative, as much as I would like that outcome.
[…] Bowl Games all day. The lovely and talented King Hippo already has you covered on today’s earlier games here. […]
I’m sure you’re all wondering why I gathered you here. It is to field proposals on JUST HOW an expanded playoff system would work fo college. Where do you play the games? And when? There are no wrong ideas in brainstorming, but if your idea stinks you’ll be ejected from the plane that this super villan boardroom is located in.
Speaking of the vomit in my mouth that was that last play, have there been any truly Boise St-esque levels of insanity this bowl season? I haven’t seen any.
some serious dumbfuckery down the stretch
Hook and lateralception! Where he could’ve just gone out of bounds!
the fuck didn’t he just go out of bounds at the 40? DUMBASS
I humbly disagree.
Best play in evar.
And it looks like he was trying to throw it to an offensive lineman, in the middle of the field. Definitely a game winning throw if it connects.
LOL
m’Kay. That was….interesting.
I suspect they didn’t practice that.
Wow UDub QB. Just wow.
I want you to fuck up and even I feel bad for you at this point.
UW has like 2 plays….3 tops.
Dumb QB needs to take a fucking chance
FROM THE HASH, too? Of course he fucking missed.
hahahahaha
So, can I call the FG return?
sure!
this may sound cray-cray…but I’d punt
Doesn’t sound cray cray, but at this point I’d kick the FG if I had a kicker.
Aaaaannnnnd….nope, they don’t. Shit.
it sounds like they kicking sitch is….almost wolven
great googly moogly
I don’t see why Washington doesn’t call the time-out anyway. If you hold them and get it back I’d rather have 1:15 and 2 TOs than :35 and all three.
The answer is because they already did and they can’t light up the TOs well enough, THANKS ESPN.
They got some clock shenanigans there, cost UW like 8 seconds
Short.
Go for it, plz.
Tick tock.
this close, I would NOT kick. Definitely 4-down territory.
Any other human being and I’d be tempted to ask if that’s real.
is president pumkin spice trying to make a point?
penn st has got this.
best case, he misses the FG and UW has maybe 45-50 seconds to work with
best throw he made today
I liked it a lot.
oopsie doodle, now they need 2
one first down from here does it
But sure, go out of bounds. Why da fuq not?
The rarely seen prevent offense!
Which they have now fixed.
Rockingdog reminded me of this, have we gotten a Wildcats vs. Wildcats Bowl Edition yet?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XItRcMuraCI
yup, NW v. KY
Washington – MUCH BETTER CHEERLEADERS. Please show them MOAR
and now HOLY MERDE it’s within 7!!
*ahem*
I will pull for a TD for you, a FG suits my needs as I got in @ -2.5
cool! out of the WildCat formation!
here we go!
Paedo State does seem legitimately good, though. They’re tossing UW around like rag dolls.
Ahh the old bowl game breakdown by conference record. Pointless and meaningless when it doesn’t suit you, and the most important thing and OH MY GOD MY CONFERENCE IS SO DISRESPECTED when it does suit you.
Fuck my conference.
My team won.
/drops mic
all very matchup-dependent, too. The ACC often piles up good records, because our #2 team plays SEC #7, etc.
A record today for Penn State for most offense in a bowl game.
Their record for most offenses off the field, however, remains unlikely to be challenged any time soon.
Clever sponsorship ideas: If not Tostitos, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Del Taco, etc., why hasn’t Ford sponsored the Fiesta Bowl? That thing’ll assault beaches!

Yea dude. It is still weird to me that playstation sponsors the fiesta bowl….
That dude’s gotta be Samoan…right?
Could be Tongan…
OMFG, ask him if he knows Ricky Logo
Now that’s a blast from the past.
Nice.
This was a great joke. I forgot to credit BFC for it, though. I’ll fix that.
I think he credited himself already.
The Browns are going to draft Barkley #1 and he is going to tear both ACLs getting off the escalator at his introductory press conference.
#ThePauls
SUDDEN CHANGE
Change back plz, k thx.
worry not, The Paedos have this well in hand
Backdoor cover tho.
I went in at -3 tho, so UDub would need two 6’s.
they would have to miss an extra point, then go for 2 and miss. Otherwise, it’s just a Hail Mary shot at getting to OT. The back door is sealed shut.
Still, I’m left hoping for PSU to score again just to be sure they really can’t screw the pooch.
I hate rooting for those assholes. I shoulda thought of that before tho I suppose.
Generous spot.
Thank you.
Remember when the Geico Gecko was miffed about being confused with the car insurance company? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
he’s all chill now that he gets that #FamePoon ,, smgdh
The one with the lady from Mad Men?
UW looks like an ACC side out there
One from West Rawlee comes to mind.
Shit. Like I said….
nah, we have a pass rush at least
Hippo win on teh over.
Nicely played my friend.
Johnny come latelys (PHRASING!!) at 55.5 even gets paid
Yup, shoulda gone that route to hedge fo’ sho’.
Is the arm waving thing the new “cereal bowl feed me” gesture? If so, I say bring it on. I’ll just be moving my mouth like this and we’ll see who wins
Hopefully you get a better result than Homer does immediately after this gif ends.
I’ve decided to stay far far away from Wiscy/daU tonight re: betting.
My inclination would be to take Wiscy ATS if the spread was slightly smaller. But nope, -6.5 is too big for that one. And moneyline is useless too.
I’ll take my ill gotten wins today (don’t fuck me Penn State…hehehe, get it?) and roll it onto something tomorrow.
boomeranged all the way back to where I got in! Could have had 4.5 yesterday morn
That I’d have considered.
But truth is, I don’t trust either of those sides.
the huskie corners blow
Paedo WRs are really good, too. That combo = fait accompli
It figures that Paedo State excels at recruiting receivers.
sometimes they just convert tight ends
All fucked up at the local Mexican restaurant. HOW’s HIPPO’s ACTIOn?!?!1!?
I am KILLING IT today. ML Cowbells, ML plus ATS Iowa State, over and Paedos -2.5 in this’un. MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!
YOU ARE MY CAPTAIN FUCKING AMERICA!!!
Just as confusing as evar: Moneyline? Over? +100? Offshore bank account?
moneyline = betting an underdog to win outright (+215 on MSU) – meaning my $100 bet made $215 in profit. I am of the (observation based on my math-inclined brain) that’s how you make money, especially JV betting.
Oh man, I’m glad I don’t gamble then. I always want the underdog to win, and would bet thusly, and would shortly look like this guy, except fatter.
Think of it this way – if you can accurately identify 50/50 upset games (and JV does involve lots of psychology) long-term, and are getting like 2:1 payout on same…
I’ll just live vicariously through your victories here.
I live vicariously thru his wins too.
Mostly because I usually lose a lot.
Today has been kind to tWBS.
Good doggies!
We can has game??
/also 5 points from over bet cashing
//fuck James Franklin with a rusty AIDS-coated dildo
The Aussies did us a solid. Too bad we need to wait till 2019 for any action

I was reading through the comments over on this week’s non-Magary Magary NFL column, and somebody made a comment that was very disrespectful of this site. What the fuck, man? This site is cool with me…
I bet I can guess who it was.
If I’m right….don’t worry about it.
Actually, the commenter accused Will Leitch of being Unsurprised here at DFO. I’m unfamiliar with the history, assume at some point in the past there was a schism of some kind. There’s always some bitterness
oh that’s deffo S*ll B*mm*ns, and he’s TOTES SCHIZO. Do not engage in any way. Not joking about the schizo thing, BTW.
I rarely comment over there, but will keep your advice in mind. I went back and looked, and the commenter was named D*ct*r B*ll, but I imagine that means nothing with all the burner accounts and whatnot over there.
Hey ohhhhh!!!!!
As Hippo said, best to just not engage him.
…They gave Lavar Ball an honorary doctorate?
Just walk away slowly. Nothing to see there.
yep, that his Twitter handle. 100% the same dude
Leitch wishes he were me.
they don’t like that we have the edge Dedspin used to have.
/also see what tWBS said below
the sponsor logo is way too big. it shouldn’t be larger than the Bowl name.
