Enjoy your nap? GOOD. Because it's time to up our couch potato game, yo. Ballsy: I'm back! At first, I was going to complain about the distinct lack of West/Best Coast games in Hippo's write-up, but then I realized that there aren't any. Seriously, it's Washington-Arizona and that will be over by

September is such a beautiful time of year, and not just for the "windows down" time in the car. That does make the outside world a teenier bit MOAR bearable, though. Also! We get a proper Saturday morning of footy, with Villa hosting the Trashbirds early (7:30, USA). I can't promise

Technically, it was still summer before. And summer can get right fucked. It's not all rainbows and sunshine, as we get NO early morning fixture. GUH. Only three in the 10:00 window, as we go "Sunday heavy" this week, with some "name teams" in Zooropa. City of Men hosting Robins Hood

Welcome to the dregs of 2022. Per tradition, Hippo will purposefully fall asleep before any countdown activity, unless the footy stays interesting, Lord knows it will need to outclass Meeechigan pantsing the Bloodeyes earlier.

We are starting to run out of FULL FITBAW slates, and Hippo ain't like it. SavoUr these moments! Georgia (+16) at Mississippi State (7:00, ESPN) A night full of cowbells a-clangin. This would also be a Trap Game, but I think these here Dawgs is immune to such (though Mizzou almost had

This week, it's worth doing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj08Ni3tklw Kentucky (+5.5) at Florida (7:00, ESPN) This game is always fun, this line is an overreaction to Week 1. Wager accordingly. SillyCuse (-23) at UConn (7:00, CBSSN) Clubhouse Derby! And a resurrection of one of the 1980s greatest rivalries. Just in a sport that neither school much cares about. Southern

Anyone else come to the title's realization, and get pre-depressed? Just me, then. And Everton hasn't even lost (again) yet. We start early with Gooners and Barcodes (7:30, NBCSN). One hopes Handsome Mikel takes out some frustrations in this one, as the visitors cosplay as murderous shieks. FUN TIMES! You're going to
