No 2nd Jim Mora clip, I will just play my personal best song of 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt9xg8niutY Clemson (-2.5) v. tOSU (Qardinals Base Camp, 8:00, ESPN) I told myself maybe I would moneyline bet whoever is the underdog, but this is a straight-up coinflip and I don't wanna. Interesting philosophical dilemma for the class

JV NFL Raging Semi #1 – 2019 Playoffs
Yes, yes, let's get it out of the way... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7fjDS0jKiE Oklahoma (+13.5) v. LSU (Megatron's Butthole, 4:00, ESPN) This here line seems excessive to me, with all the Bayou Bengals (hey, perfect for Joe Burrow and Team WKRP!) questions at running back. And make no mistake about it, the game-breaking threat of Clyde
Festive Fixtures Continue – 28 Dec Lesser Footy Openness
Conference Title Saturday (and Lesser Matters) Open Thread
Welcome to the last full, meaningful Saturday of wall-to-wall footy. Cherish it, as September is a long-assed time away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOFWHty4XFQ That was theme-free Kurt Vile.

Deshaun of the Dead: Sunday Night Game Open Thread
So I've been on the road all day and have relatively little firsthand knowledge of what the shit went on this afternoon. A brief (aka halfass) recap after this important message: WOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Ok. I'm good. I'm cool. So the Bills (WOOOO!) handed the Iggles a golden opportunity to pull even
Drop That Bass Line Lesser Footy and JV NFL Open Thread
In honour of the Iron Bowl (MOAR below), check out this amazing new tune by the Cats who gave you 2018's Hippo Song of the Year ("Tinseltown Swimming in Blood"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mFTgJQtCPk Isn't that righteous? I haven't heard awesome bass like that since Peter Hook (Joy Division and New Order). It sure sticks
Thanksgiving Mini-Hippo Thoughts (and JV Preview)
Hope everyone enjoyed their fill of food, drink, family, and FITBAW yesterday. Rest assured that a full sportsball weekend remains, including a few decent ones today. But first, the Turkey Day platter. David Blough surprised us all early by...not blowing. He at least had the good sense to put some air under
An Appreciation of Violence – 16 November 2019 Morning/JV NFL Open Thread
Yes, Thursday night was universal "shit on #ThePauls" night. It's being noted, but only in passing, that Mason Rudolph tried repeatedly to corkscrew Myles Garrett's helmet off FIRST. What followed demonstrated the unwise nature of "poking the bear" - but only Garrett and uber-coward Pouncey get the suspensions. Dopey-ass Mason had the

JV NFL Saturday – Finally Meaning MOAR
Dunno if you were with us last weekend, but it was pretty dire from an entertainment perspective. And Lesser Footy is on another interminable international break. Thank fuck the footy g-ds have blessed us with some tasty matchups this 12 October. Oklahoma (-10.5) v. Texas @ Cotton Bowl, Dallas, TX (Noon,
