I keep forgetting to draft these until I am so deep into #FridayBrain that I can't really formulate coherent thoughts. That's ok, footy has been filled with entropy of late anyway. No need to try to make any sense of it. No 7:30 fixture AGAIN. This is starting to get on

February’s Last Saturday – Open Thread
There is footy, though no early-birder. But a reasonably full day, given that the schedule gets fuckety for the Cursed Caribou Cup tomorrow (hopefully Chelski will be ROCKIN' for a certain dog supporter). Four in the 10:00 window, with USA showing Villa against the Robins Hood. One never knows what to
Title Battle Begins In Earnest – Lesser Footy Saturday
You get the contenders 1-2-3 (in increasing order of likelihood to succeed, in Hippo's view), all on USA/NBC. The filthy Redshite play Praise Beesus early (7:30, USA), with the unsettled Ivan Toney hopefully doing humanity in the good. He's in the shop window for the summer, no doubt. Surely he'd prefer the
Most Unusual Superb Owl (2023 Season) Thoughts
Well, was that a classic or a shitshow? Really, it was both. For 3+ quarters of footy, only the kickers really did anything. Nothing really happened with either offense. Then...everything happened. Except we were 1 second on the play clock away from entering Q6. Two turnovers each way, but only the Chefs

Hey, guess who TOTES spaced that he agreed to Carpenter sommet out this morning? Watch this, while subbing in Mock Draft with K Hippo! Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is "Favourite TV series (including mini-series but NOT moviefilms) theme music/song." Wait 30 minutes or 5 picks before you go
Premiership and Afrika – Togetherness Saturday
Instant Hippo Micro-Thoughts (Championship Sunday, 2023 Season)
A Bored Murrika Turns Its Eyes to AFRIKA Open Thread!
Ugh, another dead/sunless Saturday. No NFL, no Prem. Just more stupid FA Cup ties, including the one I hope Everton loses to Martin Prince's Lutes (10:00, ESPN+) - because it's all hands on deck to keep hold of 17th position in the table. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B61XAN2Ujw Fortunately, the wonky coverage of BeIn has us covered,
Instant Hippo Thoughts – Divisional Sunday (2023 Season)
Void Remains, Week Two
Count down the hours until Scotchy heralds in our last full NFL weekend. Oy. Another weird Prem weekend, two fixtures per day. Arsenal will likely disembowel Palace for the early risers (7:30, USA), followed by a broadcast network-televised slap fight between Robins Hood and Praise Beesus (12:30, NBC). Only one watchable game
