Primero Sabado Componadora Open Thread

Hey, how y’all like the pidgin-espanol for “combination?”  Although it won’t mean MOAR until next weekend, there’s enough on the JV slate to merit some discussion.

First, the Lesser Footy.  Rise and shine early for the UNDEFEATED, UN-DRAWN Muthafuckin’ Toffees!  This week brings home to West Brom (7:30, Peacock), and the inevitable, crushing letdown performance.  Prove me wrong, shiny new midfield!

Continuing with its lovely, made-fer-teevee scheduling, the 10a window contains only Leeds hosting our beloved Mighty Whitey (10:00, Peacock).  Per Litre, Leeds rested folks mid-week, and got bit in the bollocks and are now out of Caribou contention.  Fulham won 1-nil, and marched on.  But this is the fixture they really need, after a meek showing Week One.

Palace away to Ole Gunnar’s United is your (apparently NAWT) spotlight dance (12:30, Peacock), and this is the type of fixture that has sometimes tripped up the Red Devils of late.  Of course, I predicted them to make the Great Leap Forward in 2020-21, and if such prediction is right…a comfortable home win is in the cards.  We shall have to wait for Wakey Reacts Reasonably.

I guess this is the weekend NBC’s goons lean heavy on folk to sign up for Peacock?  Still, Hammers at Gooners is a tiny heroine drip for the fee-resistant (3:00, NBCSN).  This should be a hammering, and not to David Moyes’ good side.

Another quadruple-header is on tap for Sunday, with the key match (Redshite at Chelski) bleeding 20-ish minutes into RedZone.  No.  Smire.  All but the 2p match (which nobody will watch) are Peacock-only.

Bundesliga and Serie A start in full, with another smattering of HAWT Santander action.  Fuck knows where everything will be broadcast, let’s figure that out together!  Don’t forget your Mexi-channels.

Litre’s descent into madness London Jaguras (Fulham) edition

I got this idea by Horatio watching my meltdowns on Twitter, so week by week I am going to attempt to convey what it feels like to be a supporter who’s club is constantly trying to avoid relegation. This week Fulham got hided in the opener against Arsenal, and beat Ipswich Town in the Caribou Cup. My thoughts this week;

Well fuck, I didn’t think we would win anyway. How the fuck can we expect to do so with basically the same cb’s that got us relegated last year? I hope Mitro isn’t that hurt, why did he start on the bench? Lets bring the new boys in midweek.

Hey, we beat Ipswich Town! Ok, we are ready to beat Leeds just like we did last year! Back 4 are gelling and we will be fine……

Friday night, ESPN televised Campbell at Coastal Carolina.  I shit you not.  So, take whatever competitive morsels you can get, and learn to love it.

Tulsa (+22.5) at Oklahoma State (Noon, ESPN)

Fuck me, it will be strange to see a home BDSM State fixture, without the array of orange paddlers.  It will be almost like my nomenclature don’t make no sense or some shit.

Houston (+4) at Baylor (Noon, Fox)

The ultimate chaos game, was hastily scheduled (like 6 days in advance, poor grad assistants) after both sides lost their opening opponent to teh #NuAIDS.  In other words…take the points, who the fuck knows what will happen.  Plus, BayBay is replacing NINE defensive starters.

Central Florida (-7.5) at Georgia Tech (3:30, ABC)

Holy cats, Vegas sure ain’t buying the Bees, coming off an opening win in Tallahassee.  For so long, the Hitler Mice were underrated, but this seems quite the over-reaction.  I will surely bet this one, and lose.

Miami (+2.5) at Louisville (7:30, ABC)

Both these sides are (foolishly) ranked, for what the fuck-ever that means in a September like this.  The coaches are good, so maybe this will be watchable.

Wake Forest (+1.5) at NC State (8:00, ACCN)

No shit, this is the LATE game this week.  Absolutely fuckall for the West Coast viewer/insomniac/tweaker.  Running joke in Wolven Land is that we finally (for reals, almost every September game of late has been at noon, and reminiscent of the Bataan Death March) get a September night game in Carter-Finley…and no fans can attend.  Wake is usually weakest early (lots of timing-based stuff in their offense), and my Wolven Sort are likely vile shite again.  But you absolutely should watch.  Because I have to, and you don’t want tWBS’ ghost to haunt your ass.
