Formally Week One FOAR JV NFL (Thursday Night Open Thread)

Is everybody ready for some NIL-fueled FITBAW??  I fuckin’ thought so.

West By God Virginia (+7.5) at Pittsburgh (7:00, ESPN)

A great (read: hate-filled) rivalry gets re-ignited.  Suffer along with WCS, not sure anyone in the Clubhouse has positive fee-fees for JV Yinzers?  Anyway, this is way too many points.  Fuckers du Cousins has a quartered back this year, and that will make all the difference.

Central Michigan (+21.5) at BDSM State (7:00, FS1)

The orange paddles will be out for our MACtion heroes, and I have a weird notion that we could see a competitive matchup here.  Or maybe I am just rationalizing again.  FUCK YOU, I support NC State AND Everton, defense mechanisms are all that keep me alive.

Paedo State (-3.5) at Purdue (8:00, Fox)

Man, an opening week road favoUrite in West Lafayette?  Homey don’t play that.  Purdue Pete brings back quite a bit, at least on offense, and they’ll be jacked up as fuck.  You have to imagine that every B1G coach hates James Franklin with a white-hot passion.  Much like Josh McDaniels, he just oozes “that guy” vibes.

Louisiana Tech (+20) at Missouri (8:00, ESPNU)

Just in case you need a 4th fixture, Louisiana Tech can be a meddlesome foe, even against much stronger programs than Mizzourah.  I’d be sad to see Eli Drinkwitz catch the express train to Sackville, but that’s life in the SEC for ya.  It just means MOAR, rite??

Looks like Fresno State is going to be 1-0. Already should be ranked number 1 in both the AP Coach’s poll.

Two more days, then back to the grind. Life’s a beach.

I haven’t talked about Wrexham today, so let’s fix that.

Welcome to Wrexham introduced us to some new people in episodes 3 & 4. They talk a bit about rebuilding the team, the cost of running a team, and the involvement that comes with being an owner. There is disappointment and jealousy that show their head. If you aren’t invested in this team by now, I’m not sure you have a heart.

This fresh air is making me tired! Au revoir, mes amies!

Fognini appears to be adopting a strategy of bullying Nadal, as he repeatedly implores him to “stop hitting yourself, why are you hitting yourself?”

Am I the only one here who took tomorrow off?

As in drinking like you don’t have to go to work tomorrow? I’d join you but it’s too hot in LA to drink.

I am “working from home”. So, yeah, off tomorrow.

Purdue down 4, 42 yards from glory, no time-outs, and 7 seconds left.

Nice to see Penn State getting victimized by someone forcing it into places he shouldn’t.

Oh this is going to replay. I think he scooped it off the ground.

Horatio Cornblower

I hope they uphold the call.
