I’m sidelined with a messed-up Achilles’ tendon, so I’m piled up on the sofa with my foot iced and elevated and preparing to take in the sporting action. Here’s the top 25 match-ups:
Cole’s ‘Eers are undefeated! I had no idea. I’ll eschew that game to watch the ‘Dawgs and ‘Dores (interested since it’s an SEC match-up but indifferent to the outcome), then I’ll catch the first half hour of Alabama vs. Tennessee (Roll Tide!) until the Gators play Mizzou.
Ole Miss and Arkansas should be interesting. I’ll be pulling for Ole Miss since that was my grandfather’s school. Among the evening games, the Buckeyes vs. the Badgers looks like the most interesting (Go Badgers!).
Open thread!

A friend is a Badger, so I’m okay if they lay waste to the Buckeyes.
Also: GO BRONCS!!!

OT (because Texas doesn’t play till tonight, and kinda suck this year anyway), here’s a nice satirical bit from Alexandra Petri about the horror that is Hillary. Nice use of Lovecraftian elements.

Section 44, row 26.
Beat the Tigers. And now that the SEC has forced LSU to reschedule our game. BEAT them too.

Mizzoo better get ready for some payback for the beat down they gave us in the Swamp 2 years ago.

A refreshingly honest article about Trump supporters by Dylan Matthews.

I am seeing that Trump suggests that Clinton is doing coke. Talk about projection at its finest…
Mike J
Trump accuses Clinton of using performance enhancing drugs to beat him in debates.
I wish that was a joke.

I hate ACC refs. Doesn’t matter the sport. They are all corrupt shills for the league office.

@gene108: Beautiful day for a game, mid 70’s a little breeze. That’s it.

@Soylent Green: It’s simple: The UW Huskies are finally getting around to re-asserting their dominance. The natural order has been restored! :-)
But seriously, as a Husky fan, it’s been a loooong fifteen years wandering in the wilderness.
