13 November JV Only Thread the Latter

YES, I am indeed super-duper nervous about my Wolven Sort's match with Wake Forest. Thanks for asking! Texas A&M (-2.5) at Ole Miss (7:00, ESPN) Everyone in the mee-jia is 100% on board with Jimbo Fisher's Bonfire Cult. Not that I want to be the side backing Lane Kiffin, but here we

Oy, I hope you didn't wake up early and console yourself with "hey, at least there will be Lesser Footy to keep me company." But just think, this time next year, we will all be enjoying The World Cup That Slave LaboUr Built! Michigan (-1.5) at Paedo State (Noon, ABC) Will the rough

CFL Beat: Week 15

The Maestro - November 11, 2021November 10, 2021

Two weeks to go in the regular season... and fortunately still some intrigue left. The East playoff picture has its three qualifying teams (Toronto, Hamilton and Montreal), but no clear order yet on seeding. In the West, Calgary and BC duke it out for the final playoff spot, though the

Hippo Hates All The Things (JV Night/Open Thread)

King Hippo - November 6, 2021November 6, 2021

Yes, I jink bet $40 at +475, but the unspeakable early game still pisses me off. Typing this just before NC State starts pissing me off (over the cliff of despair). Apologies for being more curt than usual. LSU (+28.5) at Alabama (7:00, ESPN) So fugly that CBS ain't even want it.

Look, I have given up on human society. It just gets worse by the day. Retreat into the only consistently (well, mostly consistent) good thing in life, sportsball! I also heard the best cover ever on the radio this week, just edging out my previous shempion ("Mrs. Robinson" by The

CFL Beat: Week 14

The Maestro - November 4, 2021November 4, 2021

With just three weeks left in the regular season, it's fairly quiet on the news front around the CFL; only a few transactions to report on. All the excitement is on the field - where it rightfully should be at this time of year. With Jimmy Camacho performing inconsistently, the

FUCK, do I ever hate Halloween. I know, I know. But Hippo, you hate EVERYTHING. Larnin' of the day: Lookit you, Sparty! Have that Sparty Party after all. Ole - not ded yet. Nuno...not great, Bob! Vile Redshite drop points to Trash Birds, despite being spotted a 2-nil lead. At home. You

Now that the weather is finally turning, Hippo is starting to hibernate like a (chest hair-free) bear. Naturally, the only good Prem matches are (i) at 7:30; or (ii) conflict with JV NFL. Still, thank fuck summer is over. Wake up with DFO's Gooner contingent, as the King's Afrikan Water Pistols go

CFL Beat: Week 13

The Maestro - October 28, 2021October 28, 2021

With the trade deadline having come and gone yesterday, it was a fairly quiet week on the transactions front across the CFL. With 75% of the schedule having been played, the East remains wide open, and the West's real contests will be for the second and third playoff spots, as

How Will the Wolven Sort Set Things On Fire? Evening Open Thread

King Hippo - October 23, 2021October 23, 2021

What did we learn early? I'll tell yew wut! Everton is vile shite. Steerfuckers North is vile shite (but still won eventually). JV WKRP did not earn the style points they may need later. 2121-22 is a challenging season for Bernard Gilkey and the lads. Oh my, when City show

As you go about your daily activities, don't you get the feeling that your city, state/province, and/or neighboUrhood could use a pretty little fire? Especially a pretty little fire that grows into an impressive, towering, gorgeoUs inferno?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQUFBkYmc6U OK, maybe y'all Californians ought not try this.

CFL Beat: Week 12

The Maestro - October 21, 2021October 21, 2021

It was a big week for signings and trades in the CFL; with the league's Oct. 27th trade deadline creeping ever closer, I would imagine we might see a few more transactions shortly after this weekend's slate of games. More importantly, we're back to a more regular schedule of four
