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. Marshall (+5) at Louisiana-Lafayette – Sun Belt Championship (7:30, ESPN) When I

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

The image above was taken last night as we went non-traditional. My rib eye was delicious and my mac and cheese delivered as usual (side note - can Hippo eat Kraft Mac & Cheese as it does not really have any cheese). Not pictured are the rolls nor the wild

Oh, Hai! Yep we have substitute teachers all over this Sunday! They selected the two futbol freaks who also have mental problems when it comes to their respective NFL teams. I believe Rev was laughing at me pacing like a lunatic last year in Vegas during an Eagles game. During this visit
