We have to wait until 4:00 EST (ESPNU) for our weekly ass beating. Duke is a 9-10 point favourite. Duke football! The 3:30 window is loaded with sh-t games, so you won’t miss much wallowing in black humour with your SFN buddies.
Speaking of football, I promised my (mostly British) cohorts on my regular Everton message board that I would use extra “u”s in my words all week, as penance for apparently saying “the most American thing ever” in last weeks EFC/Tottenham game thread. NBC Extra Time has you (ok, just me) covered for today’s hopefully drama-free fixture with bottom feeder Crystal Palace (10:00am).
Early on, I will mostly follow two potential SEC trap games – Mizzou at Kentucky (noon, ESPNU) and Aubie at Tennessee (noon, ESPN). Hopefully, something unexpected crops up in the likely event they both crap out.
To be honest, the late window is not much better, at least volume-wise. I will probably watch Texas at West By God Virginia (7:00, Fox). This would be a nice spot for a Mack Brown team to implode, as a media-fluffed program that somehow has managed to stay unranked despite leading the Big 12ish at 5-0. But today is really all about LSU at Alabama (8:00, CBS), regularly one of my favourite games of the year. People really hit hard in this one. Pulling hard for Bama, as FSU and Roll Damn Tide is easily the best possible title matchup. And f-ck Ohio State, with their dogshit conference and even weaker schedule.
Insomniacs can enjoy UCLA at Arizona (10:00, ESPN), which will be very important in deciding who Stanford gets to pound like a veal in the Pac-12 championship game.
