27 November Nighty-Night JV Thread

Things Hippo learned today: I jinxed Beep Beep! and feel bad about it. When deliberating "nap or power through" - always choose nap (high-fives my 2p self). Cheering for tOSU and the JV Massholes was as ineffective as it was gross. I am glad I didn't bet today...except for that

As noted this morning, I won't be around much tonight. I will likely still read the comments, as long as my battery holds out. They picked a good weekend to schedule this opera, as this late slate is liquid shit. Cal (-1.5) at Stanford (7:00, Pac12) I always like this game, as

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

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.

Good gracious, I know everyone is as excite as I am for LOLFins/Jaguras tomorrow. Imagine the maelstrom that Fair London's ticket scalpers must be enduring. Until then, here is how we pass the time: Alabama (-17) at Mississippi State (7:00, ESPN) Oh, you poor Cowbells. Be afraid. Be very afriad. NC State (-3) at

There are times when I wish October would last forever. Driving with the car windows down. Watching leaves change coloUr. FITBAW getting more and more interesting. No elections or fucking holidays to stress over. Shit, I don't even have an NC State or Everton fixture to trouble me this weekend. I

Holy shit, do I regret wasting my naptime yesterday. I could have used a nap in that dire noon window of JV fixtures. Today I learned nothing. Except that UGA is as good as everyone thinks. Florida (-7.5) at Kenfucky (6:00, ESPN) This is almost always an excellent game, that Blue Moons almost

Enjoy, for we will next JV meet in October. Time flies when you're watching FITBAW!! Thoughts? I've got a few: Pep is pretty damn good with his back against the wall. I keep forgetting that. Bruno will be seeing that penno at the death in his sleep. Jamie Vardy scored

What did we learn? I tell yew whut. I suck at GAMBLOR. Seriously, I bet ACTUAL MONEYS on Wazzu beating Troi Boiz. A-C-C is A-S-S (see Pitt, Miami). Everton is who we thought they were. Man City made Wakey very happy today. Wolves might be in relegation danger. Alabama is

Did you enjoy the early slate? Here is what Hippo learned, assuming I don't nod off and forgets to update: There's watching flies fuck (h/t Carlin, George) and then there is B1G "action." You'll do well to see a worse, sloppier (yet still competitive) game all season. And both these squadrons
