Do you like footed ball? Boy howdy, then does I ever gots GOOD NEWS for you! (I mean, other than the lack of our beloved Early Bird Special this week. That kinda blows goats.) USA choo-choo-chooses Villa/Cherries for the 10:00 broadcast. Are the Villans becoming a media darling? Oy yes, they are.

Because the current Darkest Timeline isn't enough for my asshole brain, I am reading Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 at present. Holy shit, was that drug-addled lunatic ever a unique and insightful author. Highly recommended. Now, to the games. Hopefully, you remembered to sleep in. South Cakalaky

A Week After the Storm – Footy Abundance Thread

King Hippo - October 5, 2024October 4, 2024

Last week, we had the titanic clashes. King's Afrikan Water Pistols trying to hang onto an incredible win at City of Men - who were on what seemed to be the world's longest, dry power play. Somehow, they found the equalizer at the very death, but Arsenal still boast the momentum.

Even MOAR JV NFL – 21 Sept 2024 Night Thread

King Hippo - September 21, 2024September 20, 2024

Miami-FL (-16.5) at South Florida (7:00, ESPN) The Bulls get talked up here because of how they mudded up Roll Damn Tide two years running - but methinks that's just a weird/random matchup issue. Cam Ward hype train rolls on.. Northwestern (+10.5) at Washington (7:00, FS1) I have no idea why I am

Footy Aplenty – Morning Thread

Welcome back, dearest Premiership. Wake and bake, if you so choose, with Men Untied away to Sham Town (7:30, USA). Probably not much in this one. Mighty Whitey take on Fronk's Hammers next in the 10:00 window, sadly it is Peacocked. TV option is Leicester/Palace, which makes no sense and

Closing Out August 2024 in JV Style

This summer has been a whirlwind decade, has it not? But I have good news for you - if you make it to Tweaker Halftime tonight, the calendar will move to September. Unless you are some kind of g-dless heathen on PST, obvs. Western Kenfucky (+31.5) at Alabama (7:00, ESPN) Just highlighting

Yes, all good things must come to an end. But first, we have Lesser Footy - which thankfully is fairly infinite its benevolence. No Early Bird fixture, nice of the Prem to be considerate of how late we had to stay up to watch the last PAC-tion title game. Arsenal hosting

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

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

Because, goddamnit. It's Derby Day, and as usual we have no fucking chance to even swindle a point out of those Redshite Motherfuckers. The game is on USA at 7:30 EST. Which hopefully means I will sleep through it. Poor little grandson Bronco doesn't yet know to give me a wide berth

Mediocrity Saturday (Except Out West) – Early JV Thread

You'd think we'd get a better schedule from the universe, with no morning Lesser Footy to enjoy. But noooooo, the universe say fuck all y'all, yew git what yew git. Georgia (-31.5) at Vanderbilt (Noon, CBS) Golly gee, sure glad Vandy has home field. Imagine how bad they'd get pistol-whipped Between the Hedges. Arkansas

Not-Yet Chilly October Nights – JV NFL-palooza

King Hippo - October 7, 2023October 6, 2023

I hope the early fixtures amused and/or delighted you. Here's a 2nd helping, getting up limbered up for tomorrow's MANDATORY 14 hours of NFL glory. Ballsy: I'm back! I do not guarantee attendance at tomorrow's mandatory Footy. I will do my best, Mr. Hippo, but I needs my beauty sleep! Kenfucky (+14.5) at
