Jackson the Mule

Boo! . . . Did I scare ya?

 

Um, not only did I completely forget about the basketball game thread last night, I also neglected this week's Hail Mary Haiku. Jackson the Mule would like to make it up to you:

Lil Angus raps this:
"Talk trash, eat weeds like Jackson"
Bolsters my field cred

Hooper, Will, and I will all be at the game, so y'all are on your own. RTT reminds you to wipe your feet, use the coasters, and beware of anything in the fridge in tupperware. Second half thread goes live automatically at 9:15.

Leave your pre-, in-, and post-game comments below.

Go Vols!

Interesting batlle of 2 of the worst teams in Div. 1 and seasonal opponents

WKU 49, No. Texas 49, end 3rd.
Oregon St. scores with 44 seconds left to take lead over UCLA
Florida manhandling UGA
Ohio narrowly defeats a bad Ball St. team (116 in Hooper’s rankings)
Auburn surprised myself and Ole Miss 33-20
’Bama on bye

You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.

Looks like South Carolina is in white, as a heads up.

No black v. orange on Halloween.

So the UCLA loss keeps looking worse and worse

The Auburn loss looks better. And Ole Miss looks beatable, although we might not get much credit if we beat them. Our best remaining opponent is South Carolina. Tonight, we take care of them.

If we played as well the entire year as we have since the 4th quarter in the Auburn game, we would have 2 losses max.
