Better Know a Slave LaboUr Cup Participant – Belgium! (and Some JV NFL)

First, let's have a FUN Slave LaboUr Tidbit - did you NOE that overseers are far more likely than private employers to approve overtime and holiday pay?  Turns out 150% of zero remains zero.  And 200% of zero?  You get it!  I ain't nevar told y'all there would be no maths. Golden

Better Know a Slave LaboUr Cup Participant – Senegal! (and JV early)

My burned-out ass doesn't want to go through all the Prem scheduling - but here is the linky-poo for you to peruse at yer leisure. Let's get to those wacky, "No homo obvs" Senegalese! I mean, before we get into the...not great, Bob!...let's acknowledge that the (Butch) Lions of Teranga have quite

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 9, 2022 Season

Deep sigh with the realization that we are now MOAR than halfway through the regular season.  Nothing gold can stay, Pony Boy. Q-aaron sure served up some delicious Schadenfreude, though.  Not one, not two, but THREE pickerceptions (two in the redzone) against the worst goddamned defense in the NFL.  Apparently, his

Winding Down from Midday – JV NFL Night Thread

By this time, we will be basking in the afterglow of Vols/Dawgs, so you are forgiven for being less-than-fully whelmed at these. Alabama (-13.5) at LSU (7:00, ESPN) Vegas sure thinks that even when Roll Damn Tide ain't that good...they's still really REALLY good.  Death Valley at night will be fun, at

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 8, 2022

Hippo and Other Hippo wish a Happy Halloween to our myriad child-age readers, as well as y'all over-enthusiastic adults.  Git off-a mah lawn. I don't think anyone will lament over a lack of scoring or fantasy stardom THIS week.  I mean, except That's Rikki's Raiders! - travelling to the Bayou and coming back

October 2022’s Last Stand (Open Night Thread)

Michigan State (+22.5) at Michigan (7:30, ABC) I swear, that's SO MANY games with this betting line.  Speaks to the bad schedule, but at least we get a good numerical coincidence. Kenfucky (+11.5) at Tennessee (7:00, ESPN) Trappiest of trap games since TCU/WVU.  I expect this to be neck and neck wel into

MOAR Saturday Funsies – Early Thread

Good morning!  God's in His heaven, MRSA Dreamboat is 3-5.  Let's do some Sabado-ing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLOr7G0ZM4M Leicester and City of Men kick our day off (7:30, USA), and it is worth a viewing.  You can nap later.  Hulk SMASH! the recent "Foxy Footy competence boomlet" - at least, humanity hopes.  USA has the

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 7, 2022 Season

Things happened yesterday.  Let's discuss some of them! Remember how competent Matty Ice was last week?  Well, fucking forget it.  Don T's Suddenly Quite Perky Tits harrassed the fuck out of him, with two back-breaking first turnovers digging a hole the Humps would never climb out of.  Pretty much all of the
