Nighttime Boogey Hot JV Action Open Thread

Fortunately, the nighttime offerings from the JV gods are improved. Ballsy:  Hippo, why no mention this morning of the traditional Big 10 Battle between USC and UCLA??? For shame! California (-6.5) at Stanford (6:30, PAC-12) And the band is on the field!  Nothing is ever quite going to top THAT.  The Golden Shower

Reflections on Redemption and Some JV NFL Previews

There is no Premiership action this morning.  Hope you remembered to sleep in. This Autumn has been interesting for Hippo, to say the least.  Denver started 1-5.  Everton had one point at the first international break.  NC State...was doing NC State things, losing at home twice (ND and Louisville), and getting

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 10, 2023 Season

Yes, I am angrily pilled to the gills.  Let's see how much Hippo can remember about these past 14 hours! Oh dear God, did The Shield EVAR test Germany's schiesse porn limits.  P*ts opened with a long drive and FG, Humps responded with an even longer TD drive.  Then...nothing.  A whole

We made it.  Laughed, cried, set a few fires.  SO MANY MEMORIES.  Just one last game to churn through...

Hello, y'all.  The half-assing it substitute teacher is IN! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcwX2TnsTPE These is your early afternoon offerings, crafted lovingly in Ginger Hammer's kitchen FOAR YOU: Texans (+6) at Bengals (1:00, CBS) Both these squadrons come into Week 10 shit hot.  But there's "oh fuck, they look Owl worthy again" hot, and then there's "that's really

Veteran’s Day Weekend Lesser Footy Morning

I guess my law firm must HATE TEH TROOPZ because we get neither Friday nor Monday off.  But that's ok, I do all my shit from home so we might just have lots of "client development" time entries.  Y'all could be clients some day (well, the ones with the worst

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 9, 2023 Season

We'uns approximately 50% of the way through the NFL regular season.  Week 9 brought pills, thrills, and bellyaches - just maybe not exactly where you expected to find them*. *Grandson Bronco REALLY likes to knock Precious Pill Bottle off the nightstand.  Good thing the little maniac is cute (pay no attention

November Delight – JV NFL and Lesser Footy Extravaganza

Nut cuttin' time is here, y'all.  Also, I apologize in advance for next week's stupid international break.  Don't forget to wave at the Clubhouse degenerates who have assembled in Las Vegas! Mighty Whitey (fresh off a midweek Caribou triumph) get reeling Men Untied (fresh off a home spanking by Geordie Arabia's B

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 8, 2023 Season

Streaks broken, vengeance earned, bullshit luckiness collisions, ded footballers everywhere.  Let's dive right in! Death #1 came in the Meadowlands, where the "visiting" Jest collided with the Vertically Enhanced Persons foj Jersey supremacy.  Unsurprisingly, it was a prize that neither seemed to want.  But would they draw?  Noooooo.  Tyrod Taylor got
