JV NFL Sabado Open Thread

Alas, no Lesser Footy (outside the minor league/GAMBLOR realm).  Doggone international breaks make my arse chafe.  But we have a reasonably decent September slate to keep one sane-ish. Cincinnati (+16) at Theeeee Ohio State (Noon, ABC) As much as we would all like to see JV WKRP do a thing...I wouldn't bet

So much not-that-bad-if-they-try action! Virginia Tech (+5.5) v.

Belated Lesser Footy and JV Open Thread

Sorry, forgot I was doing this. As we speak, Palace have roared back to take a 2-1 lead on City.  At the Etihad.  BANANACAKES!!  There is also Hammers/Moose Hornets and White Power/Barcodes on NBC Gold.
