Yes, you get a guest conductor tonight. And boy howdy, do I ever have a RIPE TURD to present y'all. Cowpersons (-3.5) at Raiduhs (8:15, ABC y ESPN) The twin visages of HI I'M MARK DAVIS and Creeping Death Jerral Jones. The mind just boggles. Both of these squadrons are absolutely putrid, but the

Wasn't a great slate in JV ball, but The Shield made up for it, with a heavy hitting Sunday. OK, didn't start out aces, as the exactly-matched mediocre 3-7 Commies and 3-7 LOLfins squared off in the Bernebau (Madrid). They matched each other pretty much tit for tat, including late 4th

Florida Men (+11.5) at Johnny Reb (7:00, ESPN) Every Lane Kiffin season has, to date, included a WTF loss. Recall how their baffling home defeat to Kenfucky kept them out of the 2024 playoffs. But I think this Johnny Reb bunch is focused enough to avoid the land mine. Plus, it

Narrowing the Playoff Field MAYBE JV NFL Saturday

King Hippo - November 15, 2025November 14, 2025

There is no Lesser Footy again this week. As such, maybe we can look at the macro JV picture, given how close we are to the end (and Hippo's inevitable, crushing depression). I'd say, without hesitation, that tOSU and Indiana are in. As is Bonfire Cult, with Roll Damn Tide (and

A day filled with many games, a few of which were eveb mildly compelling! Let's dive in. Der Fuhrerbunker Klassiker came at us bright and early, with Penix and Dimebag treating us to sub-cromulent slop. Even with Extra Time, Penix completed a grand total of 12 forward passes. Yet he was

Very weak/shallow night pool, let's just make the best of it, shall we? Wake Forest (+6.5) at Wahoowa (7:00, ESPN) Believe it or not, NC State beat both of these. Be funny if my Wolven Sort were somehow the "1" in 11-1 for Wahoowa AND Georgia Tech. Wouldn't bet on it, though. LSU

I mean, did you SEE that puppy abortion Thursday night? Plus, Pirate Kansas is on track to go 0-fer-PAAAAWWWWLLLLLLLL (and is off this week to boot). So no. Maybe the autumn wind is just...a horsey fart? We will see how the Fat Humps do tomorrow. Test Hippo's hypothesis (Hippothesis?). You actually get

With this week, we cross the halfway threshold. One feels the existential dread, knowing it will too soon be not-FITBAW season. To the fixtures! We did get a 1p octobox this week, but it was mostly turds (including Dimebag's wretched showing in a 27-20 loss in Yinzburgh) out there. With one, very

MOAR GAMES, demand teh ppls! South Cakalaky (+12.5) at Johnny Reb (7:00, ESPN) Real talk, y'all. This slate ain't great. But maybe Johnny Reb sleepwalks a bit, what with all the Koach Kliff Khaos?? Steerfuckers North (+2.5) at Tennessee (7:30, ABC) This is the actual, watchable game. Winner clings to the leaky playoff lifeboat,

Good Christ, no matches today until...fucking ELEVEN??? Even then, the action is...not great, Bob! At least Mighty Whitey get an easy win (Wolves are sub-Jest calibre), and we see if the King's Afrikan Water Pistols manage MOAR than their usual 1-nil over Boo-urnley. Everton don't play until Monday night. Huzzah. Paedo State (+20.5)
