Just Another Sabado de los Footy

I have no overarching theme this week. Keep those brains turned off and treat yo'self. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSjM5B3QNlw Fronk's Hammers welcome Our Brand Is Crisis Chelski (7:30, USA), quite plausibly worth your asshole mind waking you up. I mean, mine's will regardless, why not look on the plus side. I refuse to make any mention of the

After the chaos and near-chaos of Week One, one might have expected a return to form. But outside of Arrowhead Stadium (soUrry, Redshirt), it ain't really happen. We had a whopping TEN games in the early window, which is asking an awful lot of Scott Muthafuckin' Hanson and his RedZone crew.

Terribad Nighty-Night Thread

King Hippo - September 14, 2024September 14, 2024

Oh my cats, y'all. The late slate gets even worse. Please to not shoot teh messenger. Or do, y'all be y'all. Ole Miss (-21) at Wake Forest (6:30, CW) When I first checked this line, it was 21.5. Now, one has to be smelling upset, eh? Wait, check that. Just gas. AGAIN. Georgia

Welcome back, dearest Premiership. Wake and bake, if you so choose, with Men Untied away to Sham Town (7:30, USA). Probably not much in this one. Mighty Whitey take on Fronk's Hammers next in the 10:00 window, sadly it is Peacocked. TV option is Leicester/Palace, which makes no sense and

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 1, 2024 Season

King Hippo - September 9, 2024September 8, 2024

Well, well, well. We are back, and I hope you like your changes served up sudden. So much chaos early failed to make it across the finish line. Except the GREATRIOTS, who obviously went into The Jungle and kicked WKRP ass for all 60 minutes. The one thing every NFL watcher

Some days, one just runs out of thread titles. Is the apocalypse imminent? MAYBE! Kansas (-4.5) at Illinois (7:00, FS1) Oy, if only I had the hostorical knowledge to make an apt John Brown joke here. Illini just might be terrible this season, but are we really ready to trust Rock Chalk

Alas, there is no Lesser Footy to start one's day with. Sleep in if one can. Steerfuckers South (-7) at Michigan (Noon, Fox) How long has it been since not-THEEEE has gone into the Big House as a full-tuddy favoUrite? Long fucking time, I'd bet. But I'd still not touch this line

Closing Out August 2024 in JV Style

This summer has been a whirlwind decade, has it not? But I have good news for you - if you make it to Tweaker Halftime tonight, the calendar will move to September. Unless you are some kind of g-dless heathen on PST, obvs. Western Kenfucky (+31.5) at Alabama (7:00, ESPN) Just highlighting

Oh my cats, so much to watch this weekend. America settles into its ample couches/recliners, booze and/or drugs in hand. Life is temporarily good. The only Friday JV fixture worth watching is a 10:30p kick...but the best Lesser match of the day is an early bird, King's Afrikan Water Pistols welcoming in

You Lookin’ FOAR a Hero – Just Watch (JV NFL) Week Zero

King Hippo - August 24, 2024August 23, 2024

I was thinking of the serendipity (word likely makes no sense in this context, but as you may know, I do a lot of drugs) of the football calendar. Last week, we get eased back in with EPL only. This week, we get the smattering of Week Zero games. Next

A New Lesser Season Awaits

King Hippo - August 17, 2024August 16, 2024

Oh my cats, next week, I will even have a handful of JV NFL fixtures to write up. Our long national/international nightmare is over! FITBAW!!!! You might suspect Hippo is irritated that YET AGAIN the Redshite filth open with a newly-promoted minnow. Especially given that it is in a stand-alone window

2024-25 – Previewing the Prem Once MOAR

King Hippo - August 10, 2024August 9, 2024

These are the teams that will take to the pitch, and our SWAG's as to how they will perform. Take with the appropriate grain of salt. Also, trying sommet new, format-wise. The ded/relegated from 2023-24 simply have their last season's predictions in strikethrough font. I think it's kind of neat, but
