Denizens, as we start this very late edition of the Perfect Football Weekend (late because I said I was gonna do it last night, and fell asleep in my Comfy Chair™ again), I am reminded of this story about which the Vicar posted about three weeks ago or so.
On Facebook.
(mock glare at the Vicar)
Anyway, he posted about it thusly:
The issue here is not homosexuality, it is the inability of a group of students to conduct themselves in a civil manner at a university event.
(This all ties into the PFW because there were Ole Miss football players in the audience.)
I’m going to play Devil’s Advocate™ and respond in kind:
In fact, it is  about homosexuality heterophobia.  Or, to be a little more blunt about it, the constant shoving thereof into the faces of those – yours truly included – who don’t want a damned fucking thing to do with it.
I mean, really.  As I have said time, and time, and time again – the issue with the sodomites isn’t that they want tolerance – I tolerate them sufficiently in that I’ve never given any of them the ass-whipping of their miserable lives.
Leave me be, I leave you be.
No, what they want is for you & me & everyone else on God’s Green Earth™ to say that what they do is okay.  Just fine & fucking dandy – in fact, even preferred  in some cases.  Otherwise, why all the parades, the rallies, the beatdowns (sometimes even physically) on people who don’t subscribe whole hog to the blatant heterophobia?
Hmmmmm?
And, as they themselves say in their little “NOH8” screechings…silence is consent.
Now, as I understand it, the Ole Miss footballers were forced, as part of their curriculum, to attend this indoctrination play.  In other words, this was nothing more than “thenthitivity twaining”.
I would have disrupted the damned thing, too.  Hell – I’d’ve kicked the ass of the bastard who assigned it to me.
On to the football.  Phil Young’s Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets got their second win in a row last night, beating the South Hills Scorpions, 40-16.  One for me.
Saturday, Gary Patterson’s TCU Horned Frogs should – I said should – get a gimme game at home against the U. of Kansas.  As we know, Rock Chalk has been spinning its wheels for a few years now, which cost Turner Gill his job.  (Frankly, I was hoping Turner could hang on long enough to coach this game; I was looking forward to going and possibly getting to say hello.  C’est la vie).
Anyway, TCU has this pull-your-hair-out-annoying habit of playing down to its competition.  And Vegas has the Frogs as a near-solid 25-point favorite, so Jaden Overkrom will have to win this one at the gun with his foot.
Also Saturday, seventh-ranked Georgia (See what you guys get for nearly letting Tennessee beat you?) is a 7½-point home favorite vs, 25th-ranked Mizzou.  I like the Dawgs’ chances here, but not by too much.
UPDATE:  And just for this one week only, we’re gonna follow the Red River Shootout Rivalry Pink Taffeta Ballet Shootout.  It is, of course, OU-Texas weekend, and since 12th-ranked OU is  a former PFW team…and since I hate Mack Brown & TU with the purplest of passions…
Sunday, the Houston Tex-annes should – again, I say should – end their losing streak against the St. Louis Ewes Rams Ewes.  Hell, Gary Kubiak – if the Cowgirlz can whip them and you can’t, what’ll that say for you…?
Speaking of the Cowgirlz, they get one more chance to stay in this little soiree against the Washington REDSKINS!!!!! (see what I did there, you politically correct bastards?  Suck it.) and Robert Griffin III.
(Yeah, I would go into the Second Coming™ bit – but as long as the pussies on the Left insist on making the Redskin name an issue, ARRRRRRR GEEEEEEE THREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!  gets something of a pass.
They say Griffin’s still a bit gimpy.  Yeah?  So was it the case for the last game last season, and how’d that  work out for the Cowgirlz?
We’re back Monday or so with the recap. In the meantime, my question for the Vicar is…what am I paying you for, anyway?
