I absolutely am not watching this mess. But I stand by my prediction upon seeing the "bracket" - I thought the tOSU/Tennessee winner would lift the trophy. tOhio State (-8.5) v. Notre Dame (7:30, ESPN) Yeah, I'd be rooting for Hezbollah if they represented the last line of defense against a nationwide

What's new in the world, one might ask. Not fuck shit, one might answer. Appreciate this last weekend of both (i) full FITBAW schedule; and (ii) liberal democracy. Hey, there's a better than 50/50 shot prong (i) will at least come around again. Depends on when the shooting wars start, I reckon. Presumably,

As an arctic blast envelops the portions of Murrika not currently on FUCKING FIRE, we sit patiently and await Wild Card action. I can sit patiently, because though the week started fairly shittily, it ended well. I got the LAST Friday slot for a new HVAC repair outfit, and finally

WIth the "Inner Circle of Hades" final four, you can count me out for 2024-25 JV NFL playoffs. Other than the back half of Sparky/Steerfuckers South, I regret any brain cells I sacrifiied to same. And of course, I've no interest in watching the rest of the Premiership roll over

I know I am repeating myself (Carpenter pun alert), but Hippo is very glad that a long ago New Year's Resolution (to stop ever making New Year's Resoliutions) has held for yet another year. Everything will just fall to shit regardless, remember. So..to the JV playoffs. 5 matches, 5 "so boring

We have no Prem action (not that I'd watch the Gas Leak Season), but a metric fuckton of JV and full-on NFL. I will cover some, scotchy will take the baton around 4p or whenever he finishes cleaning and storing his "tools." Stupid Red SAWX Bowl - U*NC (-2.5) v. UConn

Following in the heels of last week's Hippo Dedication Hour, we are following it up with more songs from The Cure that are, while still depressing in lyrics and message, danceable and upbeat. More in tune with yours truly. You're tuned in to the biggest Balls of them all, Balls of

Man, have these games been bad (I am typing this during GA/TX, which hopefully at least keeps me awake). We'll have PLAYOFFS come 13 days from now, and enough Dec/Jan FITBAW to take one's mind off....you know. Society and shit.

Maybe I will keep doing this once the games stop, and I need something to write about. Take it away, Onion scientists! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bex5LyzbbBE Yeah, no arguing with the data. At least we have some mild distractions: Iowa State (+2) v. Arizona State - Big Twalve Championship, JerralWorld (Noon, ABC) New blood, indeed. Shit, Cornpone

Hooray, we made it to NFL eve. Still some decent action on offer in the JV weight class! Purdue (+29) at Indiana (7:00, FS1) Hoosiers need a "statement win" for the playoff committee. Not saying they *MUST* cover the hellacious spread, but they'd be advised to leave no doubts. Steerfuckers North (+6) at

Ugh, it is soooooo close to December. No me gusta. Yes, I am still being a Bitter Blue about the Prem. Such is life. Michigan (+19.5) at tOhio State (Noon, FOX) Coach Samsquanch finally gets the monkey off his back, but I think this is an easy Wolverines cover. Think 23-10 or some shit
