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

12 Nov 2023 Mandatorium FINALE NFL Thread

We made it.  Laughed, cried, set a few fires.  SO MANY MEMORIES.  Just one last game to churn through... (unrelated Tame Impala song) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ed6UeDp1ek Jets (-1) at Raiders (8:20, NBC) Oh wow.  You are going to TEST OUR LOVE with this matchup, Rog.  Good thing DFOers believe in the RULES-BASED ORDER.  (Hippo raises whip

Just 7 MOAR hours to go.  Come on y'all, we GOT THIS!!

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

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

28 October 2023 Uncreative Night Thread

Has everyone had just the bestest day?  Since I'm the only (living) Wolven Sort around (paging Warthog!), I knew y'all would have.  Talk about el beisbol if you want, but know that I will be quietly judging you for doing so. Ballsy: And he will be not so quietly judging me for

Back in the Saddle to Close October – JV NFL and Lesser Footy

Damn, I will miss October.  Perfect month, with conference schedules heating up, NFL taking things up a notch, being able to shut down the HVAC system and enjoy a nice window-fed breeze. That said, November ALSO kicks ass, so no need for mourning. How will Chelski react to blowing a 2-nil lead

“At Least the Wolven Sort Don’t Play” JV NFL Night Thread

Yes, indeed.  At least that's one pissed-offedness trigger that's on bye.  Huzzah, universe! Ballsy: It's a good thing my alma mater sucks at football and I don't like them because they rejected my niece. That way I can enjoy college football without any aggravation.
