Whipped Cream Difficulties

Yes, we’re back, but we’re still gimped up. Let’s just jump into this week’s TMQ…

How soon till there is a nationally telecast football game every single day from school back in session till the Super Bowl? That is to say, how long till a Nonstop Football League?

Answer: sooner than you think.

One of the biggest Texas games in many moons, Baylor at T.C.U., will be on a Friday in prime time, on Nov. 27.

Of course, that’s the day after Thanksgivig, which has traditionally been a big game day…

Something something Saints-Giants. We’re sorry we missed that game.

Sweet: New Orleans. Sour: Miami. Can we just unplug the 4th Down Bot now? Stats. Panthers. Hell’s Sports Bar is back. Dolphins.

TMQ likes (undrafted, unwanted) Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake.

The best school fight song — not the best parody of a fight song, but the best fight song — is this 2013 ditty from Weird Al Yankovic.

Prithee, good sir, which school uses this as a fight song?

Is it ironic to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” before London games? The 600 Club. The 700 Club. Bad blitzing: Arizona State.

Had it been a college game, Jersey/A-New Orleans would have tied for fifth-highest scoring in the last couple of days, with the Guilford-Catholic University pairing, which also ended 52-49.

Also: Puget Sound 6, Pacific Lutheran 2.

The Football Gods chortled. The writer stepped out for a whiz. “The Football Gods Said ‘Huh?’”. The writer says that a lot when he’s reading TMQ.

“Adventures in Officiating”: yes, the Miami play.

How the crew could have spent nine minutes looking at replays and concluded the runner was not down escapes me, and escapes most everyone who has looked at this play.

Bonus: Trinity of Texas vs. Millsaps College.

Northwestern of Iowa 21, Briar Cliff 0. “Zips versus Rockets is college ball’s best names pairing.” Really? This needs more consideration. Indeed, “Gorillas against Ichabods” and “Blue Hens versus Spiders” strike us as being better. (Sadly, the Banana Slugs do not have a football team, or they would get our vote.)

That’s it for this week. Tune in next week, when The Gimp hopes to be less gimpy.
