No EPL this morning, international break. Here is your lukewarm tofu-based menu for today: Steerfuckers South (-13.5) at Pig Sooey (Noon, ABC) I can't figure the Hawgs out, but here's hoping they make a better showing today than I expect. Team Secular Big Love (+11.5) at Colorado (Noon, Fox) Utes keep coming up short,

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 10, 2024 Season

Hippo is of two minds. There is nothing left in our world worth fighting for. Small-l liberal democracy is dead andburied, or at least with extreme gangrene that can't even start clearing up for 20+ years. Either way, I won't live to see anything improve. But this is our last football

Night of Eternal Darkness JV Thread

Fuck off, humanity. Also, STILL none of us deserve cheerleader pics. Alabama (-3) at LSU (7:30, ABC) Playoff elimination game, and the type of fixture where Brian Kelly tends to step on a rake. Washington (+13) at Paedo State (8:00, Peacock) Be nice if tOSU would beat these jackasses for the 2nd straight week,

Guess I Will Keep Doing These – 9 Nov JV Preview

Fuck off, humanity. Also the Prem is currently ded to me (but here is the link to the schedule). Also, none of us deserve cheerleader pics. Florida (+21.5) at Texas (Noon, ABC) Fuck both of these states and the vast majority of their residents. This window is horrific, though. Fitting. West By God

Yeah, no Wumbo tonight. Barely a thread tonight. Who knows how long we have before we're shut down for *checks notes* Sexy Friday? Fortunately I got out of my gig early enough to avoid the news from last night's event, but tonight might not be fun. Just three of us, keep

Evening of Nothingness Open Thread

Hey, if you thought Dayime Slate was rough, wait until you see what Satan's got cooking LATE! Bonfire Cult (-3) at South Cakalaky (7:30, ABC) I'm a little surprised A&M is favoUred here. Does one REALLY trust them in a nighttime road fixture, against a mid-level SEC opponent? I sure doesn't. Troi Boiz

November 2024 Spawned – Weak Footy Slate

THREE SHORT DAYS before the possible self-implosion of American society as we know/love/tolerate it. And we can't even get a full, distracting slate of fixtures. OK, Barcodes and Gooners to start (8:30, USA) ain't too bad. But then USA shows...Sham Town and Everton?? (11:00). Even HIPPO won't enjoy watching that car

Slap yourself in the face, pour MOAR coffee down your gullet - we gots MOAR FITBAW!!! West By God Virginia (+3.5) at Arizona - 7:00 (FS1) Look, I said MOAR - not GOOD. Winner keeps its season alive(ish). Clubhouse Derby, at least (WCS v. Blax, if y'all is new and/or slow).. Paedo State

Do you like footed ball? Boy howdy, then does I ever gots GOOD NEWS for you! (I mean, other than the lack of our beloved Early Bird Special this week. That kinda blows goats.) USA choo-choo-chooses Villa/Cherries for the 10:00 broadcast. Are the Villans becoming a media darling? Oy yes, they are.

Yes, we get the Prem back this weekend, to go along with a fairly killer set of JV ball. It's (momentarily) good to be alive. That means Spurs and Hammers over morning coffee (7:30, USA). In my mind, jury's still out on both - they could be Zooropa contenders, they could

A Week After the Storm – Footy Abundance Thread

Last week, we had the titanic clashes. King's Afrikan Water Pistols trying to hang onto an incredible win at City of Men - who were on what seemed to be the world's longest, dry power play. Somehow, they found the equalizer at the very death, but Arsenal still boast the momentum.

Are you back, and ready for MOAR? Fucking of course y'all are. First, an obligatory weather note: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DbSaqq24vY City of Men (now with 100% less Rodri) visit Geordie Arabia nice and early (7:30, USA). I'm not committing to waking early, given all the ballwashing Bonesaws FC tends to get - especially in matches
