GG Week 3 Results

 No sweeps. The Commissioner is doing his job.

Week 3 GG Results.

Arizona 23, Kansas State 17, in Tempe. What the hell happened to Kansas State? They were supposed to be legit contenders for the Big 12 crown and people were talking about Avery Johnson winning the Heisman. This is how desperate K State is: their last three possessions of the second half ended in turn overs on downs (they also had two of those in the first half, just for fun). They asked their kicker to boot it through from 47, 48 and 62 yards (he missed all three). Avery Johnson stat line: 13 for 29 for 88 yards and no touchdowns. QBR? 11.9 (that's not good).

Arizona is 3 - 0. Running back Jemail Mahdi gains 189 on 22 totes and 32 more on 2 receptions.

Georgia 44, Tennessee 41, in Knoxville, in OT. With 7 seconds left in regulation, the Vols have the ball on the UGA 20 yard line. The 20! Third and 5 with a time out in their pocket, ball on the left hash. They can run a play to put the ball in the center of the field, call time out and walk out and kick it through for the 'W'.

But.

Some dumbass goes off sides. Now it's 3rd and 10 at the UGA 25. Still on the left hash. Fuck it, out trots 14 year old Max Gilbert, who proceeds to miss the right goal post by about 20 yards and it's overtime and it's over for Tennessee. 

To live is to suffer.

How things have changed in College Station.

SockPuppet. We called him crazy. 

Texas A&M waltzes into South Bend and sticks it to the Domers in a wild one, a shoot out, a barn-burner, whatever you want to call it. In GG, only SockPuppet and Psycho had The Faith and picked TAMU. Did I mention there were no sweeps?

Texas A&M 41, Notre Dame 40.

Q: 1. Lame. Total 8, Limpy.

Chiba: 1. 4 total. You suck.

DTBH: 0. Gutterball 4 U. 6 total.

Lola. 2. Nice try. You have 4.

Ronde'. 1. Total 7. Disaster weekend.

DPo. 1. Total 2. So pathetic.

SockPuppet. 2. Total 5. Negative thoughts.

KBro. 1. Total 5. Suicide watch.

$$uke. 1. Oh, fucking COME ON! Total 4.

Psycho. 1. Total 4. Don't like you.

Teebs. 2. Total 8. Go around acting like you know what you're doing, Tool.

McLovin. 1. Total 5. I don't know you, if anybody asks.

Big Dom. 2. Total 6. Whatever. 

BreauxFreaux. 1. You have 5. Get a check up.

BRFL Week 2 Results

 Rolling through Week 2 and already some picks look shaky.

I sent you the spread sheet in your email. The way the sheet reads is a little different from last week; Under 'AP' you read 1 point for a win or 0 for a loss, plus whatever the AP gave or took away from you. If you got the REAM (like Komron and I did) I have added minus 5 to the score and the REAM column lit up. The last column is your updated AP rank.

I would have handled a DIDDLE the same way but nobody got one so ha, ha, ha, Buttholes. 

Q: BYU whups up on Stanford. Possibly because Stanford sucks. And it was a home game for the Utah Cultists. Whatever. No AP love. No diddle. Nothing but 1 lousy. Point. 5 total. Still unranked. 

ChibaChews; Boise State with the whoop-ass on East Washington U. Big fucking deal. You get one for that and now you have minus 4. You and Q had the first two picks in the draft. Way to go.

DogTheBountyHunter: The Iowa State Cyclones are officially the team to beat in the Big 12. They hand Kirk Ferentz the Fraud a nice 'L' in Ames. Thought it would be more of a blow out. Oh well. They get the CyHawk Trophy. DTBH gets 4 and has 13 on the season. 

Ronde': The Vols take an explosive shit on East Tennessee State, 72 - 17. Are the Vols really good? Guess we'll find out. The AP thinks so, goosing them with a 7 point climb. Fucking Ronde' has 13 now. I feel sick. 

DPo: Nebraska obliterates Akron 72 -17. The 'Po still pining for that elusive diddle. AP says, 'hell no'. Still unranked but you've got 5 points. 

SockPuppet. Texas A&M toys with Utah State. 44 - 22 the final. AP love +3. 5 on the week. This pick is working out and you have 7 and just fuck you. 

KBro. Holy Mother of Christ, what the hell just happened?! SMU loses to Baylor (who looked like shit last week, by the way) in double overtime and gets absolutely gang-raped by the AP. REAM! Minus 8 on the way out, plus the ream for minus 13 on the weekend. That's also your total, Mr. Pick-Up-A-Second-Job. Minus 13.

$$uke. Speaking of getting corn-holed, Arizona State takes the 'L', in Starkville, from lowly Mississippi State. So much wrong with this Sun Douche team. The QB looks lost. They apparently have only one receiver. Their secondary actually is lost. Totally. The coaching sucks. Kenny Dillingham has morphed from river-boat gambler into total pussy. Minus 13 on the way out the door and add minus 5 for the REAM! and $$uke is this year's bottom-feeding mud puppy. 

Minus 18 on the year.

Psycho. Bert Bielema has the Fighting Illini hitting on all cylinders. Illinois beats up on basketball-centric Duke, 45 - 19. 2 from the AP for that schmegma. 7 on the season for Illinois.

Timmy!: A lackluster licking of Louisiana Tech by LSU, 25 - 7 the final. Still, Teebs has the #3 team in the land and Brian Kelly might be able to achieve an erection if this keeps up. 8 on the year for Teeblations.

 McLovin: Alabama carpet bombs Louisiana Monroe 73 - 0 but the AP is not fooled. A measly 2 on the move up. Nobody believes what's-his-name has his shit together as the head coach of the Tide. Your future has 'L's around every corner, FartSmeller. Minus 12 on the year. Don't call me.

Big Dom: Well, lah-dee-dah. Utah seal-clubs Cal Poly 63 - 9 at home. CAL POLY?! For the love of God, the AP buys into this bullshit and moves the Utes up 5 places. The stupidity. 7 on the week, total 16, you have the lead, Serial Masturbator. 

BreauxFreaux and the puzzling Memphis pick. A 'W', 38 - 16, over Georgia State, that's true. But does anybody give a shit? Not the AP. They say, 'Pound sand up your ass, Breaux'. 5 on the year.

GG Week 2 Results

 GG rolls on. Week 2.

Not today, Sharon.

Oklahoma 24, Michigan 13 in Norman and it wasn't that close. John Mateer runs through the Maize and Blue like shit through a tin horn. 

Sharon More's ploy to neuter his weak-ass suspension craps out. You're up, Biff Poggi. Your record at Charlotte was ass, but maybe you at least know how to manage the clock. Sharon apparently doesn't. Justice Haynes eyes the transfer portal. 

I expected a beat-down. But I got Iowa State Cyclones 16, Iowas 13. A strange and not terribly exciting game in Ames. Kirk Ferentz continues to be over paid for under performing. You may hate Ohio State but 'Dumb and Beautiful' is a lot of fun, if you've got the time.  

Well, that sucked. Arizona State goes down to The Wasteland and loses to lowly Mississippi State, 24 - 20. Up by 3 with 30 ticks on the clock and the Bulldogs on the Sun Devil 48 yard line, Arizona State is in man to man. Sounds reasonable. Three wide to the right. The middle and the widest receiver cross. Happens all the time. But the DB who has the wide man, for just a second, forgets its man to man and thinks about picking up the crosser. Blake Shappen puts it right on his Bulldog and it's lights out for 'Zona State. 

More Cow Bell. 

Q: SWEEP! 5 to go to 7. Take the lead.

Chiba: 2. Total 3.

DTBH: SWEEP! 5 to make 6. Copied Q's picks.

Lola: 1. Total 2. Head injury?

Ronde'. SWEEP! 1 to make 6. Must have changed your meds.

DPo. 0. Total 1. Why not just quit now?

Sock. 2 to make 3. Big deal.

KBro. 2 to make 4. Uh-huh.

$$uke. 2 to reach 3. Shitty.

Psycho. 1 to get to 3. Michigan?

Teebs. SWEEP! 5 to get 6. Hotcha-cha.

McLovin. 2 to reach 4. Not a big deal.

Big Dom. 2 to get 4. Nothing to write home about.

BroFro. 2 to total 4. You don't suck. Yet.

GG Week 1 Results

"Wow" indeed, Hugh.

 Auburn dumps Baylor in Waco, 38 - 24. Oklahoma Portal Boy, Jackson Arnold, throws for a puny 108 but gallops for 137, and 2 TDs, on 16 totes.

Ohio State makes things difficult for Farch Manning. Buckeyes 14, Longhorns 7. Matthew McConaughey takes another 'L'.

LSU lets the gas out of Dabo in Clemson, SC, 17 - 10. LSU defense has got it going on. This game was doomed for Clemson as soon as ESPN, or FOX, or whatever, decided to devote 10 or 15 minutes of air-time to the embarrassing spectacle of a bunch of gigantic football players, in full uniform, ritually cramming their asses onto giant buses, then driving to the other side of their own stadium, all so that they could run down a hill led by their weird-ass coach. 

Q: 2. So close.

Chiba: 1. Low T.

DogTBH: 1. Fook 'em.

Lola: 1. Vag spasm.

Ronde': 1. Scrote.

DPo: 1. Loser.

Sock: 1. Deep dive turd.

KBro: 2. Almost.

$$uke. 1. Retard.

Psycho. 2. Tried hard.

Teebs. 1. Dorkmeister.

McLovin. 2. WTF!? Unexpected.

Big Dom. 2. Solid.

BroFro. 2. Strong.

BRFL 'Week Zero' Results

 Farmageddon.

Just to be an asshole, DogTheBountyHunter decided to get a jump on the season and play a game during Week Zero. Why do they allow Week Zero? Who are 'they', even?

Fuck off. I don't know the answers to these questions. 

In an effort to make the game look as disorganized and sloppy as possible, Iowa State and Kansas State played their game in Ireland, a country renowned for its crisp, warm and sunny late summer days. 

It pissed down rain for most of the game. Both teams lost two fumbles. The K State quarterback's DAD and his other son (maybe he has more than two sons, how the hell would I know that?) ended up trying to beat each others brains out in a giant puddle outside of Aviva Stadium in Dublin fucking Ireland. Nobody knows why, and they said they're sorry. For being classic American football fans? That's not something to say you're 'sorry' about, Douchebags. Where's your pride? Are you fucking communists now? You got in a giant puddle, take-him-to-the-ground, sumbitch fight in Dublin after your son and brother lost to the Iowa State Cyclones in something called 'The Aer Lingus Classic'. That's awesome. Hold your heads up high, Brothers.

Incidentally, in Gaelic, Aer Lingus means, 'Feather my bung'.

I mention this whole fucking covfefe because DogTBH earned +1 last weekend while the rest of us were masturbating and thinking, however briefly, about the first GG slate of games.

No new AP Poll came out after week zero so Doggie just gets one point.   

DTBH heads into Week 1 with +1.

Get the hell out of here now.

The Living Document : 2025 Edition

 Brothers and Sisters,

As I do every year, I have updated The Living Document and I am sending each of you a copy to your email account. This year's copy incorporates the changes that have been made, including The Multiplier.

Happy gambling,

BRFL Jamoboree 2025

 Brothers and Sisters,

Sadly, there will be no BRFL Jamboree at 30 Fair Street this summer. The Commissioner (Good Tidings be upon him) has had something of a mishap and has required an interesting surgical procedure. This took place some weeks ago and the recovery has been slow going.

Your Commissioner will continue to be relatively incapacitated for the remainder of this summer. That will bring us to September, at which time there are some High School class reunion shenan-a-na-nigans already scheduled.

There is such a thing as too many trips to the Commissioner's home pasture, and so this year's Jamboree has been dumped, like a dirty sock, into the laundry hamper.

Everyone has paid their losses in 2024, and everyone who won money has been paid.

You will soon receive an email with some proposed changes to The Living Document. These changes are in response to some concerns that were raised about last year's changes. These criticisms were felt to be legitimate and have been addressed. The Commissioner's office would like to thank Big Dom and DPo for their assistance with this year's revisions.

The Commissioner's office feels compelled to emphasize that these proposed revisions will not go into effect unless the BRFL membership either approves them or witholds comment about them. Comments and suggestions are welcome up until August 14th, 2025, which is about a week or so before the BRFL Draft. An absence of comments will be interpreted as approval of the proposed changes. 

Blessings,

Lance Herbstrong

TBDBITL Big Horns

 Helloooo, BRFLers!

Just love this gif with The Best Damn Band In The Land big horns rising up, over Will Howard's outstretched arms, as Ohio State eviscerates Oregon in Pasadena this year. 

Never gets old.

Enjoy.

Anyway, on to next season.

It's kind of important that you read this here post (looking at you, SockPuppet and especially you, Q). 

We need to make an adjustment in the preseason points. And post-season play.

There are no right answers here. Only lame-brained ideas advanced by nincompoops with no clue. 

I'll go first. 

Regarding the AP Top 10 teams;

Pick number 1 in the AP : start at minus 10

Pick #2, minus 9

Pick #3, minus 8

Pick #4, minus 7

Pick #5, minus 6

Picks #6 - 0, free lunch. No penalty points. Start at zero. 

Why, you ask? 

This gives Big Losers, from 2024, with early picks, a better chance to make some serious money in 2025, despite their historically awful picking.

Bottom 5 in the AP:

No points. You've picked a ranked team. Good luck to you.

Pick an unranked team:

Start at +3. You're picking an unranked team. Risky. We'll give you a little something for that. But that team better really catch fire or you're shit out of luck. Picking an unranked team has always (until last year) had that, "I don't give a shit", "wild-stallions-must-run-free" cachet about it. A certain je ne sais quoi. It's time to bring that all back home.

Post-season:

Conference Championship Game: win = +2.

Any old Bowl game ( not a CFP Playoff game) : +3

CFP First Round Bye: +1

CFP Round 1: +4

CFP Qaurter Final: +6

CFP Semi Final: +8

CFP Final: +10

Again why, you query. 

It was glorious watching Teebs and PSU bounce Breaux's Broncos out of the tourney. It was great fun watching them thoroughly fuck up Big Dom's Ponies in the Quarter final. And who didn't love McLovin's epic run, featuring his whipping of Psycho's Tennessee Vols like a rented mule? 

Well, okay. Sure. McLovin and I were the only people who got a kick out of that. But still. Imagine if it had been another team, not Ohio State. People might have enjoyed it.

 

What's my point? What's my mission here?

I want to keep as many BRFLers wasting precious hours ( that they will NEVER GET BACK ) in front of their TV sets, angsting-out over whether some team they have no connection to at all, in real life, wins and advances. Fuck yeah. I want like fourteen BRFLers trying to cut each other's throats on Saturday afternoons for as long and deep into the season as possible.

Alternatives? Thoughts? Tweaks? At least read this post for God's sakes. 

Also, pay me, so that I may pay others. @James-LaCava-2 is my Venmo handle.

Don't be these people in BRFL 2025

BRFL Pounding 2025

2025
 

And then, the reckoning. 

I sent the spread sheet to your email. More people won than lost. But the ones who lost? Well, yeah. It was that bad. 

Don't know where the unaccounted for $21 is. All the people that lost money are owed $3.50, I guess. Not sure how that's gonna' make Q feel a whole lot better but, hey, $3.50 is $3.50.

Check it out. Maybe you can find the $21 and get me off the hook. 

Start thinking about what you want to do differently this year but, honestly, I thought last year went pretty well. It's very much the Wild West in college football these days so it's hard to predict what will work. 

We can scrap the unranked 7 point gift or trim it down to 5. We can up the CFPlayoff game awards or leave them the same. Conference championship games? Worth more? Worth less? And what about bowl games? Opt outs. Coaching changes. Completely meaningless games except for the coaches who stay and get some extra practice time in. 

Should GG be worth EVEN MORE? 

So many questions. 

Lance Herbstrong,

Commissioner for Life

BRFL 2024, Final Scores

 BRFL 2024, Final Scores.

Then came Breaux.

BreauxFreaux. Had a first round bye in the CFP playoff ( 'the first EVER 12 TEAM playoff!' Tell me you weren't sick of hearing that shit every two minutes? ) but it didn't serve him well. PSU's defense smothers the Broncos and the Cinderella Season ends. 

Penn State 31, Boise State 14. 

Doesn't really matter. The BF steamed into CFP week with +52, picked up one for the bye week (see 'rules nobody read') and got a +1 no drop from the AP since losing to Penn State is, I guess, not considered bad. Add +2 to his 52, +54 on the season but, wait, there's more. The MF BF tied for 3rd in GG and picked up +8 for a total pile of +62 on the season. 

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our Champion. 

Big Dom. The Ponies gallop into Beaver Stadium and get skonked, 38 - 10, by Penn State. 

Kevin Jennings tosses three INTs and racks up minus 25 on the ground. Hard to win with those numbers. 

But, again, BigD had +42  going in and, again, it's not okay to lose to anybody, except Penn State. The AP doesn't drop SMU so Dom ends the season with +43 then pockets 8 for the 3rd place tie in GG. 

+51 on the year. 

McLovin. Epic four game playoff run. Etc. 'Lovin was TOAST and then, well, the CFP happened. 

End of week 15, TurdFace had +7. Destroys Tennessee (that's +4), Humiliates Oregon (up by 34 in the second quarter, that's +4 more), wins a tough one over Texas (+5, 'cause it's a semi) and then toys with Notre Dame to win the Trophy (+7, 'cause it is). Wins the National Championship. When the final AP poll drops, yes, he gets a no drop +1, but he also moves up +5 to the top spot.  

Do the math. 

Banks +26 in post-season scoring and then adds his GG +4, the fucker, to make it +30  and his +7 for week 15 equals +37 on the season. 

Hello, Liberace. 

There is a lesson here. A sick, disturbing and painful lesson. I'm not sure what it is. But no one is ever going to question McLovin's Ohio State fandom again. 

Ever.

Timmy! Penn State sat at +24 at the end of week 15. (They lost to Oregon in the B1G conference champs game). Then Teebs thoroughly fucks up Big Dom's Ponies in round 1 (+4), kicks the shit out of BreauxFreaux's Broncos in round 2 (+4) and, eventually, gets butt-slammed by James Franklin's questionable decision making and loses to ND by 3 points in the semis. Gets dropped one spot when the final AP comes out. Post-season +7, not bad. Gifted 2 for his "efforts" in GG. 9 plus 24 makes +33 on the season for Teeblations. 

Psycho. Tennessee had +28 at the end of week 15 and was thoroughly looking forward to playing an Ohio State team that had looked lost in the ozone the last time they took the field. Except the game was in Columbus and it was  like minus 50 degrees and Ohio State had finally figured shit out. UT took the L in the first round and dropped 2 in the final AP Poll. Psycho wraps it up with +26 and 5 more for GG, total +31.

$$uke. Louisville had +19 at the end of week 15. The Cardinals grad transfer QB opts out of the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl but L'ville beats UW by one point anyway. Alas, the longed-for diddle never arrives. +2 for the nobody-bowl win. And, thank you, Jesus, +10 for CRUSHING GG, adds up to +31 final score for $$uke. Tied with Psycho. Knowing that this wounds Psycho deeply is reward enough for me. 

KBronie. Memphis Tigers. This was another unranked pick that never quite reached escape velocity. The Bronie limps into the end of week 15 with +23. Takes care of  his business in the Scooters Coffee Frisco Bowl or whatever the fuck and downs WVU 42 - 37, grabs +2 for that, he's ranked so he gets a no drop and a +1 move up when the final AP poll comes out. +4 in post season shenanigans, +23 from week 15 and +3 from GG. Add 'em up, a respectable +30 on the season. 

Okay. Not great. 

SockPuppet. Miami Hurricanes. Started strong, then faltered. Sock never trusted this team, and he knew what he was talking about. At the end of week 15, Miami was good for +25. They didn't make it to the conference championship game (in the ACC). And then they lost by 1 point to the Iowa State Cyclones in the Pop Tarts Bowl. Dropped 3 in the final AP poll. That's +22. Picked up 6 in GG. Total is +28.

Not inspiring. 

DPo. Here's a clever bit of douchebaggery that looked like it couldn't miss, until it did. 

The 'Po read the rules. And he picked Liberty, which should have been a great pick. A free +7 and playing nobody and the God Posse is a good program. Usually. Except this year. When they sucked. 

The Jesus Eleven lost three games, didn't make it to the (Conference USA) conference championship game and then got ass-whipped by Buffalo (NY) in the Bahamas Bowl.  The God Squad had +15 at the end of week 15. Big zero in post season play. A robust 7 from GG kind of saved the day. +22 on the year which is better than the fucking Flames deserved, to be honest. 

Ronde'. Virginia Tech was an all-around disappointing team for Ronde'. 6 and 4 on the season, the Hokies end week #15 with +13. Only to go on to lose (convincingly) to Minnesota in the Duke's Mayo Bowl. 

Zero in post season play and, uncharacteristically, Ronde' totally flames out in GG and puts up zero points there. It's +13 on the season and I must say I'm a little concerned. Is everything okay at  home, Ronde'?

Lola O.: An ambitious and promising (at least for like two seconds) pick, the O tapped LSU this year. 

It did not go well. The Tigers went 6 and 4, didn't sniff the conference championship game and managed to beat Baylor (!) in the Kinders Texas Bowl. Lola crawled into week 15 with minus 1 (yes, negative territory), picked up 2 by dumping the Bears and finished  post season play with +1. Add 2 from GG to finish with +3. That is terrible. 

DogTheBountyHunter. Kansas. Again with the Kansas shit for Dawg. 

Kansas went 5 and 7 and was not bowl eligible. That is the text-book definition of a laughably bad pick. Yet here was a team that, in consecutive weeks at the end of the season, lost by 2 to Kansas State on the road and beat Iowa State, BYU (away) and Colorado, all four of them ranked teams. In the second half of the season these boys could, and did, whip anybody and everybody.

The Jayhawks roared into week 15 with zero points. There was no post-season play. Dawg only got 1 out of GG. +1 on the year. 

Not gonna' judge.

ChibaChews. The Utah Utes. Dude, talk about yesterday's team. What the absolute fuck?! 46 year old Cam Rising was spotted on the sidelines a few times. Kyle Whittingham drinks. A lot. Utah woke up to find itself in the Big12 where the Utes proceeded to go on a 7 (seven) game losing streak and miss out on bowl eligiblility. 

Utah bled into week 15 at minus 10. Thank God Chiba picked well in GG and racked up +9. The Chews finishes at minus 1 and it could have been much, much worse.

Congratulations. 

Q. Florida State University. I think, maybe at first, a lot of us thought, 'well, maybe she knows something we don't know'. But, yeah. No. This was like a really bad pick. It was like watching a space mission go sideways. You knew, right away, that everybody involved in this pick (which was, really, just Q) was going to die, and that there was nothing you could do about it. FSU lost their first three games. You knew, right away, there wasn't going to be any 'turning it around' for the Seminioles. They won 2 games out of 14. They beat up on Charleston Southern and ... honestly? I was a little surprised. Week 15 score? Minus 21. Final score? Minus 21.

An unmitigated disaster. A catastrophe against which all future catastrophes will be measured. 

Blessings.
