Mirai no Hero Tachi

Mirai no Hero Tachi- Herois do futuro

Korekara otona ni naru kimi ni

Douka kiite hoshii nda

Bukiyou nari ni ikitekita

Konna boku ga

Otona ni naru made no mukashibanashi o

Para você que está prestes a se tornar um adulto

Por favor, quero que você me escute.

Eu tenho vivido de uma maneira desajeitada

Este sou eu

Uma velha história do meu passado até me tornar adulto

Akogareteta terebi no hiirou wa

Jibun ni wa kankei naito

Zutto iikikaseteta nda

Kanawanaito

Shitteshimau no ga kowakattakara

O herói da TV que eu admirava

Acho que não tem nada a ver comigo

Foi isso que continuei dizendo a mim mesmo por muito tempo

No fim isto não é real

Por que eu estava com medo de descobrir

Soredemo senaka o oshitekureta te wa wasurenaiyo

Mesmo assim,nunca esquecerei aquela mão que apoiou minhas costas

Ano toki oshietemoratta

Kotoba ya kono omoi de

Koko made aruite koretakara

Tsugi wa senaka o osu banda

Ano hiirou no you ni

Ano hi sou shitekureta you ni

Naquela época, aprendi algo.

Lembrando das palavras e destes sentimento

Eu fui capaz de caminhar até aqui

Agora é minha vez de apoiar alguém

Como aquele herói

Daquele dia fez por mim

Dakara kimi o mamoritai nda

Ariki tari nandakeredo

Kyoukasho ni wa nottenai taisetsuna omoi

É por isso que quero proteger você

Parece clichê, mas

É o sentimento precioso que não está no livro didático

Moshi nani ka attatte

Sugu ni kaketsukerukara

Tsumazuite koronde mo ii nda

Sono toki wa naita tte ii nda

Sotto nuguukara

Não importa o que aconteça,

Eu vou correr imediatamente

Não há problema em tropeçar e cair

Não há problema em chorar quando isso acontece

Vou enxugar essas lágrimas suavemente

Itsushika nakushiteta mono

Itsushika wasureteta koto

Ohayou oyasumi matane

Algo que perdi antes de perceber

Algo que esqueci antes de perceber

Bom dia, boa noite, até mais

Ima jaa mienai keshiki

Este é o cenário que não consigo ver agora

Houkago roji ura himitsu kichi

Dare mo shiranai angou

Hi ga kureru made no dai bouken

Depois da escola, um beco, uma base secreta

Um código secreto que ninguém conhece

Uma grande aventura até o pôr do sol

Ima ni natte kizuita nda

Sore o seishun to iu koto

Kimi ga miteru sono hibi o

Aa

Agora eu percebi

Isso é o que chamamos de "juventude"

Aquilo foi o que você observou daqueles dias

Ah

Toumei no mama ikiru mainichi o

Irodottekureta chiisana te

Sasaereteta no wa kitto bokuda

Para os dias em que vivir sem cor

Foram as mãozinhas que  me deram clareza e felicidade

Tenho certeza que no final era eu que fui apoiado

Yasashii kotoba yasashii egao

Mabushii kurai ni

Palavras suaves, um sorriso gentil

São tão deslumbrante

Itsuka kimi mo otona ni natte

Mukashibanashi o shitara

Donna fuu ni ima o kiritoru ndarou

Algum dia você também se tornará um adulto

E vai contar a sua história para alguém

Como será que você vai contá-la

Tada warattekuretara

Omoidashitekuretara

Shiawase ni hanashite hoshiikara

Se você apenas sorrir

Se você se lembra de mim

Eu quero que você conte isso com alegria

Dakara kimi o mamoritai nda

Ariki tari nandakeredo

Kyoukasho ni wa nottenai taisetsuna omoi

É por isso que quero proteger você

Parece clichê, mas

É o sentimento precioso que não está no livro

Moshi nani ka attatte

Sugu ni kaketsukerukara

Tsumazuite koronde mo ii nda

Sono toki wa naita tte ii nda

Sotto nuguukara

Não importa o que aconteça,

Eu vou correr imediatamente

Não há problema em tropeçar e cair

Não há problema em chorar quando isso acontece

Vou enxugar essas lágrimas suavemente

Korekara otona ni naru kimi ni

Douka kiite hoshii nda

Bukiyou nari ni ikitekita

Konna watashi ga

Otona ni naru made no mukashibanashi o

Para você que está prestes a se tornar um adulto

At the University of Texas in Austin, right-wing authoritarian Gov. Greg Abbott ordered a large helmeted brigade of state troopers to march through the heart of his state’s flagship campus and shut down a pro-Palestinian protest that he’d branded as violent and antisemitic even before the event had actually started. Prosecutors later dropped all criminal charges against 57 UT students and others arrested by Abbott’s army, saying the arrests “lacked probable cause.” The riot cops were photographed marching past a UT promotional sign, “What starts here changes the world …” Students at two large Midwestern schools — Indiana and Ohio State Universities — who grew up on active shooter drills were shocked to look up during their campus protests to see what appeared to be trained police snipers aiming long guns at the action. IU officials stayed mum about what seemed to be photographic proof. In Ohio, where the volley of National Guard shots that killed four students at Kent State University at a May 4, 1970, protest still echoes today, OSU officials called the rooftop officers just spotters before admitting they’d “switched to long-range firearms” at night “once the troopers began using force on the students.” Apparently “using force on the students” wasn’t a problem for them. Some of the most shocking footage came from Atlanta, involving police and the state troopers who in 2023 had shot and killed a protester against the police training center known to foes as “Cop City.” Multiple videos from Emory University showed a string of violent arrests, including a young Black man who was shot with a Taser even though officers had immobilized him on the ground. When an Emory economics professor, Caroline Fohlin, saw a cop violently arresting a student and screamed, “What are you doing?!,” a second officer grabbed her and slammed her hard to the ground, her head against the hard pavement, as she screamed, “I’m a professor.” Fohlin, who was shown on video doing no more than raising her voice, was charged with “battery” against a police officer. One of the most chilling videos from Georgia, ironically, shows no violence at all. In it, Noëlle McAfee, chair of Emory’s philosophy department, stylishly dressed, handbag slung over her shoulder, is led away in handcuffs by a masked officer. She later told a faculty meeting that, like Fohlin, her supposed crime was questioning an officer making a violent arrest of a student.

I’d kind of like to call the philosophy department myself, in the hope that some beautiful mind there can explain to me how college presidents can morally justify calling armed police officers against their own students to clamp down on free speech, beyond their desperation to stay employed. Or maybe someone in Fohlin’s economics department could pick up the line and do the math for me on why America’s best universities value their biggest donors over their students’ free expression. The most tumultuous week on U.S. college campuses since May 1970 resulted in at least 600 arrests at 15 different schools as of Saturday, with more surely on the way. It’s going to take even longer to tally all the students facing suspension and in some cases expulsion for speaking out on the bloodshed in Gaza, or the now-ruined careers of principled professors who stood between their students and a nightstick. Not to mention the lasting psychological scars for young people who saw their dream college summon cops to arrest them or even fire rubber bullets or canisters of tear gas at them, which would be considered a war crime if used in Ukraine but is apparently OK in the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s hometown of Atlanta. The notion of college as the American dream — fostering not just upward economic mobility but a nation of informed citizens taught to think critically — has been steadily dying since the original right-wing backlash against student protest in the 1960s triggered the end of taxpayer support for low tuition, which caused a $1.75 trillion student loan crisis. The maelstrom around the war in the Middle East has given the enemies of higher education — and they are many — a chance to move in for the kill.

But the biggest problem is the large mass of Americans sitting on the couch and saying absolutely nothing, glued to the nonstop Trump Court TV that cable news has become, watching pundits fret that democracy will die in the November election even as a runaway police state already clamps down in April. Look, the threat of a Trump 47 dictatorship is real, and last week’s three-hour Supreme Court debate over whether any president is above the law was riveting, even if in a healthy republic it would have lasted just three minutes. Too many boomer “Trump Resistance” types see the wave of college arrests as a distraction, a sideshow. Trust me, this is the entire ballgame. Ending free speech on college campuses is the leading edge of a bigger war against dissent that could already be lost by Nov. 5, and any contest of the election result that follows. I’m sure Congress and President Joe Biden have some valid concerns about Chinese ownership of TikTok, but I doubt lawmakers would have moved so quickly to threaten a large media platform with extinction were it not for fear that too many young people are exposed to ideas they find dangerous. The chaos on college campuses is already being cited to curb other protests, such as moving demonstrators far away from July’s Republican National Convention so they can’t be heard. Democracy defenders might find the battle to stop a second Jan. 6 coup was lost on the playing fields of Emory.

As someone who is from central Ohio your take on OSU fans is so accurate! Ive lived here my whole life and I hate OSU ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My fam is actually big Michigan fans and when OSU and UofM play and Michigan scores, my dad goes out and plays the Michigan fight songs on his giant garage speakers just to piss off a few neighbors lol

LMFAOOOO

yeah listen like, I grew up in west Lafayette, my mom & both my grandmothers graduated from Purdue, my mom WORKS at Purdue, and Purdue’s biggest rival is IU (yes, the school I went to for a semester lmao). You would think… my family would be anti-IU. But no. We’re anti-OSU. (My mom specifically hates their mascot more than any other mascot.) We (my family) also hate Notre Dame for some reason? Their fans are kind of annoying, tbh, like shut up you’re all Catholic and just because you had one of the best football movies of all time made about your school doesn’t mean you can continue bragging about it, the movie came out 30 years ago

2021 Top Games of the Week: Week 1

Football is back! Week 0 was incredibly boring but Week 1 should more than make up for that. We’ve got a load of interesting games this week that should kick off the season in style. Let’s have a look!

The Top Ten Games of the Week

10. West Virginia at Maryland (Saturday 9/4)

The 10 spot goes to one of the fun rivalry games once again kicking off. West Virginia and Maryland have kept their non-conference rivalry going even as both schools changed conferences in the past 10 years. I hope they keep playing it moving forward. Neither team is expected to contend for their conference, or division in the Terrapins’ case, so winning the rivalry games is #1 on the list for many fans on both sides.

9. Michigan State at Northwestern (Friday 9/3)

The Big Ten is trotting out several conference games to open the season. Michigan State at Northwestern is perhaps the least interesting, but it does feature the defending champions of the West Division. In 2020, the Wildcats came out of nowhere last year to claim their second division title in three years. Meanwhile, the Spartans gutted their way through a season that would have been incredibly disappointing if not for their win over Michigan. Both squads have question marks but with this early conference game we’ll get a better idea where each team stands.

8. #4 Ohio State at Minnesota (Thursday 9/2)

Ohio State is ready to kick off another season with a national championship in their sights. The Buckeyes are quite clearly one of the best teams in the country and expect to go 12-0 or 11-1 at the very worst. Minnesota hasn’t had an opportunity like this is a while. The Gophers are expected to be loaded for bear as they prepare to take the next step forward under P.J. Fleck. Back in 2019, Minnesota defeated #4 Penn State to catapult themselves into a tie with Wisconsin for the West title. I’m sure they have a similar outcome on their minds here for OSU.

7. #16 LSU at UCLA 1-0 (0-0) (Saturday 9/4)

This one is going to hold my attention this weekend. LSU has had a strange two years, going from national champions with potentially the best football team of all time to 5-5 also rans nearly overnight. Sure, they have had time to reload now and the Tigers should be fine, but more than a few eyebrows have been raised already. Meanwhile, UCLA’s long rebuild under Chip Kelly has finally started to bear fruit. The Bruins mauled an overmatched Hawaii squad in week 0. Big deal, the Rainbow Warriors aren’t on the same level as Louisiana State, who will give UCLA a real litmus test to see how far they’ve come. Also it’s cool to see a PAC-SEC matchup, I feel like those conferences have the most infrequent combinations of matchups among the P5 leagues.

6. #10 North Carolina at Virginia Tech (Friday 9/3)

The ACC isn’t quite matching the Big Ten for Week 1 intrigue, but this early bout may have big ramifications on the Coastal race. North Carolina is favored in a race with Miami according to the experts, but things rarely ever go right in this strange division. Virginia Tech are in an awkward position. Things haven’t been going well in Blacksburg lately and fans wanted Justin Fuente fired years ago at this point. It would be a huge opportunity for the Hokies to turn their fortunes around if they can jump on the Tar Heels at home.

5. #23 Louisiana at #21 Texas (Saturday 9/4)

This is a trap game for sure. Steve Sarkisian’s first game as Texas head coach and it’s against a team that made their name last year upsetting regular season Big 12 Champions Iowa State. Louisiana will absolutely give the Longhorns a tougher test than they would normally expect from a G5 program and if they’re not careful UT could faceplant.

4. #17 Indiana at #18 Iowa (Saturday 9/4)

It’s not a sexy matchup in the conventional sense, but you have to give credit where it’s due. Indiana were one of the darlings of the 2020 season. The Hoosiers shocked the world last season with a breakout 6-2 record. With a full season’s worth of games to play now, IU is gunning for double digit wins. Iowa is their usual selves. The Hawkeyes were once again a strong team last year and that should be the case in 2021 as well. Iowa expects to contend for the West Division this year and have to win their cross-division games to give them their best chance at getting to Indianapolis.

3. #19 Penn State at #13 Wisconsin (Saturday 9/4)

The biggest of the Big Ten’s Week 1 matchups sees two of the best programs in the conference square off. Penn State had a bad year in 2020, no other way around saying it. The Nittany Lions need to rebound in 2021 or there will be a lot of question marks surrounding the direction of the program under James Franklin. Wisconsin is their usual selves, meaning the Badgers should once again be one of the top teams in the league but still a step (or two) behind Ohio State. Both Wisconsin and Penn State want to win their respective divisions, a loss in Week 1 would be a crucial setback for either side.

2. #1 Alabama vs #14 Miami FL (Atlanta, GA) (Saturday 9/4)

The defending champions start off the year in a high profile matchup with another high profile team. Miami isn’t quite playing up to their potential just yet, but the Hurricanes are on more solid footing than we’ve seen in a while. Many are expecting another breakthrough season similar to what we saw in 2017. It might not matter either way if the Canes get back to that level. It will be incredibly hard to unseat Alabama. The Crimson Tide are losing a lot of guys from their championship squad, but new faces with similar levels of talent are coming in to replace those who’ve left for the NFL. It feels foolish betting against Bama but a Week 1 loss would be one of the more likely scenarios for a regular season loss at all for the Tide.

1. #5 Georgia at #3 Clemson (Saturday 9/4)

This one is a no-brainer. Georgia and Clemson’s on again-off again rivalry is once again heating back up. The stakes haven’t been this high since the early 80′s, with both the Tigers and Bulldogs attempting to claim national championships this year. UGA is hoping to rebound and reclaim the SEC East after giving it away to Florida last season. The Dawgs are on the short list of 6 or so teams that are aiming to make the Playoff every year. Clemson is one of the other squads on that special list. The Tigers are hosting and may be favored, but we need to be wary of their lack of depth at the QB position. A loss here might not end a Playoff campaign, but it would be a bad start to one as well as a black eye against a regional recruiting rival.

5 G5 Games of the Week

5. Syracuse at Ohio (Saturday 9/4)

Frank Solich unfortunately won’t be the head coach in Athens, but I think his old team is in great position to claim a P5 scalp as hapless Syracuse makes the trek for a rare MAC road date.

4. Marshall at Navy (Saturday 9/4)

Two of the G5′s more consistent brands face off. Marshall is trotting out their first new coach in 15 years while Navy is attempting to spit out the bad taste in their mouths after a disappointing 2020 season.

3. Miami OH at #8 Cincinnati (Saturday 9/4)

The Battle of the Bell is one of FBS football’s oldest rivalries and I love giving it the spotlight. I don’t expect Miami to win of course, while they have been a solid MAC program in the last couple years, the RedHawks aren’t up to the same level as Cincinnati. The Bearcats are favored to repeat as the #1 G5 program in the nation. Cincinnati haven’t lost to their in-state rivals since 2005, giving Miami plenty of reason to try and solve the Cincy defense that gave teams such fits last season.

2. Texas Tech vs Houston (Houston, TX) (Saturday 9/4)

That’s right, Houston was able to call on to upgrade this game to NRG Stadium. The Cougars and Red Raiders are throwing a Southwest Conference reunion party and everybody’s invited. Both Texas Tech and Houston have been struggling lately and this game definitely has high stakes for both programs.

1. Boise State at UCF (Saturday 9/4)

Two of the G5′s biggest brands face off as Boise State travels to the Bounce House to take on UCF. The stakes are obvious: the winner here will be the G5′s #2 option after Cincinnati moving forward through the season.

-

FCS Games of the Week

5. #14 Central Arkansas at Arkansas State (Saturday 9/4)

More likely to happen than you might imagine. Arkansas State moved on from coach Blake Anderson at the end of 2020 and Butch Jones (yeah) needs time to get things set. Central Arkansas has an opportunity to knock off their big brother in Jonesboro.

4. #9 Montana at #20 Washington (Saturday 9/4)

It’s the revival of an ancient PCC series dating back to the 1950′s. Montana will certainly be an underdog against a Washington squad that technically did win the PAC-12 North last year.

3. #21 Northern Iowa at #7 Iowa State (Saturday 9/4)

Iowa State has moved mountains to become this good, but the Cyclones aren’t impervious to upsets as last year showed us. Northern Iowa has their own chance to knock off big brother.

2. #6 Weber State at #24 Utah (Thursday 9/2)

This one should be tough no matter how good Weber State is. The Utes’ physical game will be tough for the Wildcats to overcome, but they’ll take their shot at glory no matter what.

1. #10 Jacksonville State vs UAB (Montgomery, AL) (Wednesday 9/1)

Now this is cool, an FBS-FCS game played at a neutral site. I love to see matchups like this. UAB is one of the best G5 programs of the last 5 years while Jacksonville State is one of the most consistent FCS squads in the deep South.

To think even you would say that to me… I can’t agree with the shit you’re telling me I woke up this morning, needing to end what we started yesterday Baby listen up, I think your real answer is clear from the way you’re acting Baby listen up, I think your real answer is clear from the way you’re acting

I Know You You Know Me, a lot of things won’t go the way we imagine But I can’t tell you that straight up, I’m sorry A story I want to forever leave unfinished Gotta put it off, I need more time Our feelings hang heavy in the air between us Your distrust of me is bubbling up to the surface, too

I Know You You Know Me, there’s 100 ways to make you laugh There’s not many ways to make you sad, and I’m not tryna find more So let’s take things slow for today Let’s put this aside for another time You’re the one who said “Not right now” and left me uselessly trying to pry open the locked door

To think even you would say that to me… I can’t agree with the shit you’re telling me I woke up this morning, needing to end what we started yesterday Baby listen up, I think your real answer is clear from the way you’re acting Baby listen up, I think your real answer is clear from the way you’re acting

I mutter nonsense about what happened last night My head still hurts from the hangover Please, baby, don’t cry There’s an empty space in your heart too I pick up and look at the dried-out donuts Would you like it better if I wasn’t here? Would you like it if I washed the dishes? I stuff my face instead of saying pointless words

I know you. You know me, I’ll go off and do my thing when you stop listening to me; you know that’s how I am This thing won’t last, it’s not in my future plans I know you. You know me, I thought you’d already know this much I’m different with you than my friends, ‘cause everything we do privately is for you Do you want that ring? Though I can’t buy a mansion for us or anything I dunno if you could say I’m ashamed of that… I’ve hit the gas 5 times, but I’ve got no ramp to take off from There’s no brakes in my ride, but this can be fun too, can’t it? Just put the little stamp on this scrap of paper, and I swear I’ll be by your side forever

To think even you would say that to me… I can’t agree with the shit you’re telling me I woke up this morning, needing to end what we started yesterday Baby listen up, I think your real answer is clear from the way you’re acting Baby listen up, I think your real answer is clear from the way you’re acting

[chanoyu-to-wa]

Nampō Roku, Book 5 (52):  Midare-kazari [亂飾] for the Large Maru-bon¹, [One] of Three [Arrangements].

52) Dai maru-bon midare-kazari mitsu no uchi [大丸盆亂飾三ツ之内]².

[The writing (above the daisu) reads³:  temmoku dai ni noru (天目臺ニノル)⁴, sasa-mimi (サヽ耳), natsume (ナツメ), chashaku (茶杓), habōki (羽帚), fukusa (フクサ); (between the ten-ita and the ji-ita, beneath the kae-chawan) kaku no gotoki chashaku kae-wan ni mo kumi-iri, kurushi-karazu (如此茶杓・カヘ碗ニモクミ入、不苦)⁵.]

    The kaki-ire [書入]⁶:

① This is the same as in the midare arrangement displayed on the shaku-naga[bon].  However, the shaku-naga is shin [眞], while the dai maru-bon has the feeling of gyō [行], so it is said⁷.

    The fukusa-mono is folded [to resemble] a butterfly.  There are female and male [versions]:  [these details are discussed in a] ku-den⁸.

② Because the dai maru-bon is a gyō [行] utensil, on certain occasions when the incense utensils are displayed on a kō-bon [香盆] on the upper level [of the daisu], incense utensils should not be displayed [simultaneously]⁹.

    [For example,] when showing appreciation to a famous incense burner (and on other occasions of that sort), following the meal a [dai] maru-bon is brought out on which are placed the chaire, chawan, chashaku, chakin, [and] chasen -- carried out as a single unit¹⁰.

    On this occasion, the temmoku [tied] in its fukuro, ,[resting on its] dai, may also be on the tray when it is carried out¹¹.  Or else the tea utensils may be [brought out one by one and] arranged on the tray, while the guests are still in the room¹².

    Things like a temmoku or chaire that have a name should never be [included] in [this kind of practice]:  ordinary utensils should suffice¹³.  And again, if it is an ordinary chawan that has been prepared, it is likewise acceptable for it to be resting on the tray when [the dai maru-bon] is carried out.

③ Also, a natsume [or other kind of] chaire may be [placed] inside the chawan.  When [the natsume] is stacked inside [the chawan], the chakin and chasen should be [arranged on the tray] separately¹⁵.

    There is also the case where this is all done in front of the guests -- with the objects [finally] arranged as shown [in the sketch]¹⁶.

_________________________

◎ This arrangement, and the other two* that constitute this series of three midare-kazari, were a legitimate part of Jōō's original collection.

    The fact that no incense things are included on the tray in the present arrangement should not confuse the reader†, since this is the way the things were arranged on the tray when it was brought out after the appreciation of incense had been concluded.

    This entry provides us with a good, contemporary description of how the Shino family conducted their gatherings‡. __________ *Unfortunately, the page on which the third of the three arrangements was drawn was torn when the manuscript came into Tachibana Jitsuzan's hands, meaning that it is not possible to determine the precise kazari that it depicted (though, most likely, it was another form of cha・kō kazari [茶・香飾], like the second one).

†This final section of the first part of Book Five is, as has been mentioned before, devoted to the cha・kō [茶・香] arrangements employed by the Shino family during their incense-appreciation gatherings (at which tea was also served -- during the goza), and the second kaki-ire explains one way that this was done:  the dai maru-bon was brought out from the katte (with the tea utensils arranged in a manner resembling what is shown in the sketch) after the appreciation of incense, and the meal, had been concluded (since, at their more formal gatherings, the Shino apparently felt it was best not to mix the tea things with the incense things at the beginning of the shoza), indicating that tea would be served when the guests returned from the naka-dachi.

    Unlike the modern (and ancient) gaming format, the Shino family preferred to focus their gatherings on the smelling of just one or two varieties of kyara [伽羅] incense as a way to enter samadhi (via the purification of the olfactory sense).  The preparation and taking of tea, then, was completely aligned with their objectives (since tea is best appreciated when host and guests have all entered the state of samadhi -- while the intervening meal would serve to protect the stomach from being overwhelmed by the tea).

   Unfortunately, the history of chanoyu was rewritten in the Edo period, with the objective being to emphasize the “purity” of the various arts.  Thus, since the Shino family (or, rather, the group of Japanese adherents who carried on the name after the original Korean line became extinct) was most closely associated with incense (Shino Sōshin had been Yoshimasa's incense master -- an idea appropriated by the machi-shū practitioners of chanoyu who, later, asserted that Shukō had been Yoshimasa's tea master, even though it is indisputable that Yoshimasa learned chanoyu from Nōami; meanwhile, the original Shino family continued to do things according to their own understanding of the practice of chanoyu on the continent), their impact on chanoyu (it appears that Jōō actually learned his basic techniques by observing what the Shino were doing) was emphatically ignored.

‡Perhaps the text of the second kaki-ire was written by Jōō himself.

¹Large maru-bon.

    The dai maru-bon [大丸盆] measured 1-shaku 3-sun in diameter, and was the largest of the six meibutsu trays (selected by Nōami for Yoshimasa to use) that could be lowered to the mat during the temae.  In fact, the orientation of the daisu on the utensil mat was determined by this tray:  the dai maru-bon was placed so that its front edge touched the middle of the mat, and the daisu was then placed so that it touched the far side of the tray.  This left a space of 4-sun 5-bu on the far side; and the host sat 1-sun below the middle of the mat*.

    The original tray featured a design of karabana [唐花], “Chinese flowers,” within a doubled-vine (futae-zuru [二重蔓]) arabesque, in mother-of-pearl inlay.  The tray, as mentioned above, measured 1-shaku 3-sun in diameter, and had a perpendicular rim (meaning that the diameter at the top and at the base was the same, making the tray very easy to position).

    This tray could have come from China, though Korea had been renowned, since ancient times, for the quality of the mother-of-pearl inlay produced there (and many of the greatest examples of this craft preserved in collections in Japan originated in Korea).

    The original tray was destroyed during the Ōnin wars, along with the rest of Yoshimasa's collection, and subsequent examples were based on the kagami-nuri [鏡塗] (mirror-finish lacquer) example that Haneda Gorō [羽田五郎; dates unknown, though he was active during the second half of the fifteenth century] produced for Yoshimasa after the fire. __________ *One-sun being the width of the heri on an ordinary tatami.

    This seating of the host on one half, and placing the utensils on the other is to be understood as the daisu and the other utensils occupying one half of the mat, while the host occupies the other half.  In the early days (before the room came to be covered with mats), a half-mat square was considered suitable for one person's seat (while a nobleman occupied a full-length mat by himself).

²Dai maru-bon midare-kazari・mitsu no uchi [大丸盆亂飾・三ツ之内].

    “The large maru-bon, [with] midare-kazari・[one] among three [arrangements].”

    As has been explained before, midare-kazari [亂飾] means that the utensils are distributed -- seemingly at random -- across the face of the tray.

    This arrangement is for a gathering when two varieties of koicha will be appreciated.

³This list of the objects displayed on the tray is simply a list.  It does not indicate the order of the objects on the tray (though some scholars appear to have taken it in that way, leading to hopeless confusion).

    The things are arranged on the tray as shown below:

    The temmoku overlaps the central kane by one-third, while the sasa-mimi and natsume contact the yang-kane to the right and left.  The chashaku is placed on the yin-kane to the right of the central one, while the handle of the habōki only contacts the yin-kane on the left (thereby gathering the natsume with the temmoku, just as the fukusa also connects the chashaku with the temmoku).

    Only the sasa-mimi is left by itself, indicating that it will be used to serve tea last -- not a mark of inferiority, but, as discussed previously (in the arrangements that focused on the use of this tea container that was a feature of the machi-shū practice), so that the guests could focus on the tea container.

    The dai maru-bon will not be lowered to the mat until the last part of the temae, so that both the dai-temmoku and the sasa-mimi may be stood on the tray during the preparation and service of the second variety of tea.  (The habōki is used to clean the dai maru-bon.)

⁴Temmoku dai ni noru [天目臺ニノル].

    “The temmoku, mounted on [its] dai.”

⁵Kaku no gotoki chashaku kae-wan ni mo kumi-ire, kurushi-karazu [如此茶杓・カヘ碗ニモクミ入、不苦].

    “If, in this way, the chashaku is also included with the kae-[cha]wan, there is no problem.”

⁶The complete Japanese texts of the kaki-ire are:

① shaku-naga midare mo onaji-koto nari, tadashi, shaku-naga ha shin, dai maru-bon ha gyō no kokoro to iu-iu, fukusa-mono ha chō-tatami nari, mesu-osu ari, ku-den

[尺長ミタレモ同事也、但、尺長ハ眞、大丸盆ハ行ノ心ト云〻、フクサモノハ蝶タヽミ也、雌雄アリ、口傳];

② dai maru-bon gyō no mono no yue, aru-toki ha jōdan ni kōbon ni kō-gu kazarite, cha-gu kazarazu, mei-kōro nado shōgan-suru toki nado ha, wanban no ato, chaire・chawan・chashaku・chakin・chasen maru-bon no uchi ni hitotsu ni okite hakobu-koto ari, kono toki temmoku fukuro ni iri, dai wo mo bon no uchi ni irete hakobi-dashi, kyaku mae ni te bon naka no cha-gu shikomi mo ari, mei-aru temmoku・chaire nado ha mu-yō nari, bon no mono taru-beshi, mata tsune no chawan nara ba shikomite, bon ni nose hakobu mo yoshi

[又茶碗ノ中ニハナツメ・茶入ナリ、入子ニシ茶巾・茶センハミタレニシテ、客前ニテ仕込コトモアリ、カヤウノコト料簡シテイクヤウニモト云〻].

⁷Shaku-naga midare mo onaji-koto nari, tadashi, shaku-naga ha shin, dai maru-bon ha gyō no kokoro to iu-iu [尺長ミタレモ同事也、但、尺長ハ眞、大丸盆ハ行ノ心ト云〻].

    “Shaku-naga midare is the same thing [as this].  However, the shaku-naga is ‘shin,’ [while] the dai maru-bon gives a ‘gyō’ feeling, so it is said.”

⁸Fukusa-mono ha chō-tatami nari, mesu-osu ari, ku-den [フクサモノハ蝶タヽミ也、雌雄アリ、口傳].

    “The fukusa-mono is folded [to resemble] a butterfly.  There are female and male.  There is a ku-den [related to this matter].”

    Both Shibayama Fugen and Tanaka Senshō express bewilderment over this matter of this chō-tatami-kata [蝶疊み方] (Shibayama going so far as to state that he can make no sense of the drawing -- though the lack of detail in the drawing suggests that Tachibana Jitsuzan, too, had no idea of what to do) -- Tanaka, however, speculates that it might be the same thing as the way that the fukusa is folded in one of the secret temae taught by his school*.  The actual tatami are shown below -- on the left is the mesu [雌] (female) chō-tatami [蝶畳み], while on the right is the osu [雄] (male) chō-tatami-kata [蝶畳み].

    Be that as it may, the ku-den refers to both the two forms of the chō-tatami-kata [蝶畳み方] (how to fold the fukusa), and the occasions when the two different versions should be used.

    As the first step in both of these, the fukusa is folded diagonally (as usual, before folding it for the temae), with the wa-sa [輪差] (the side that is folded rather than stitched, marked “ⒷⒸ” on the following sketches) on the right, and laid flat on the tray.

    The mesu [雌] (female) form of the musubi is shown below (note that the corners “Ⓒ” naturally separate slightly when brought up, thus no special effort has to be made in this respect).

    And the osu [雄] (male) form is folded as shown below.

◎ The actual purpose of folding the fukusa in these ways is to keep the part of the cloth that will be used to wipe the tea utensils perfectly clean -- no matter how long the fukusa remains resting on the tray in this way -- by folding other parts of the fukusa over it.

◎ To lift the fukusa from the tray, the corner representing the tip of the right wing (“Ⓑ”) is picked up with the thumb below and the first finger above the corner.  The fukusa will then fall into the usual triangular shape that can then be folded in the ordinary manner, before being tucked into the futokoro of the host's kimono†.

    Finally, the ku-den concludes with the teaching that the fukusa should be folded in the “osu” form (osu, which means “male,” is yang) when tea will be served during the daytime, and in the “mesu” form (mesu, “female,” is yin) when tea will be served at night.

    These ways of folding the fukusa probably originated with the Shino family, for the purpose indicated here.

    The reader is asked to understand that while I have colored the fukusa purple, during the period when Jōō wrote his manuscript the temae-fukusa was made of Chinese donsu , of whatever color and pattern the host favored (and could afford), and its size was determined by the native width of the cloth‡.     __________ *This is not possible, however, since this is not a way that the fukusa can be folded during a temae.  Rather, it is loosely folded on the tray in such a way that it can be easily picked up (and then refolded and so tucked into the futokoro of the host's kimono at the beginning of the service of tea).  Folded in the manner shown, the fukusa could not be used to do anything.

†It must be remembered that folding the fukusa in the presence of the guests was a practice initiated by Rikyū.  Theretofore, the fukusa was folded in the katte, and inserted into the futokoro, from where it was taken out to be used, and then returned immediately afterward.

    Rikyū may have taken his inspiration from Shino Shōha [志野省巴; 1502 ~ 1571], who was one of his friends.  Originally Rikyū folded the fukusa at the very beginning of the temae, immediately after the sō-rei.  This would be similar to what is done here.  (He later decided to follow Furuta Sōshitsu's suggestion that the folding of the fukusa be delayed until it was time to wipe the chaire, so that it would be cleaner.  Oribe, meanwhile, took this idea from his own practice of using the little furoshiki in which a gift container of matcha was tied as the temae-fukusa when serving its tea.)

‡Purple fukusa of the size used today were created by Rikyū -- that is true -- not as a temae-fukusa, but as a furoshiki [風呂敷] (a wrapping cloth) in which a small natsume of gift tea was tied before it was sent off to the recipient.  Purple was used because silk of this color was the most difficult (and so the most costly) variety of silk produced in Japan (at that time, the trade embargo with the continent was still in effect).

    This kind of wrapping-cloth was first used as a temae-fukusa by Furuta Sōshitsu, when he unexpectedly received a gift of tea, from Rikyū, while officiating at a chakai.  Deciding to share the tea with his guests (since it would never be fresher than when first received), he brought the natsume (tied in the little purple wrapping-cloth) into the tearoom.  But, since he did not have a second fukusa (to keep them clean, the host usually only prepared as many fukusa as he would need for any given gathering; nevertheless, the rule was that a new fukusa had to be used for each different variety of tea that was being served at the gathering), Oribe suddenly got the idea to fold the wrapping cloth, and use that as a temae-fukusa to clean the natsume in which the gift tea was contained.

    Finding the size extremely suitable for use as a temae-fukusa, Sōshitsu later made his own temae-fukusa in the same size.

    As mentioned above, once Oribe decided to use the purple furoshiki as a substitute for a temae-fukusa, he was naturally unable to fold it until after he had removed it from the natsume.  Subsequently reflecting on the day’s chakai afterward, he was inspired to delay folding the fukusa on ordinary occasions until after he removed the shifuku from the chaire, too, since doing so would insure that the fukusa was as clean as possible at this important point in the temae. 

    Rikyū approved of both of these innovations, and later incorporated both of them into his own personal temae.

⁹Dai maru-bon gyō no mono no yue, aru-toki ha jōdan ni kō-bon ni kō-gu kazarite, cha-gu kazarazu [大丸盆行ノモノユヘ、アルトキハ上段ニ香盆ニ香具カサリテ、茶具カサラズ].

    “Because the dai maru-bon is a gyō object, on certain occasions when a kō-bon on which the incense utensils have been displayed is on the upper level, tea utensils should not be displayed.”

    In the early days, a “kō-bon” [香盆] was not a specific kind of tray, as it is today, but referred to any tray of a suitable size that had sufficient room for the incense utensils.

    While the tea things could be mingled with the incense things on the shaku-nagabon (because it is the shin [眞] tray -- and also because it is much wider), here, due to the lesser formality of the tray, it was sometimes felt that it might be better not to mix them on this kind of tray.

    An example of when mixing the incense and tea utensils should be avoided is given next.

¹⁰Mei-kōro nado shōgan-suru toki nado ha, wanban no ato, chaire・chawan・chashaku・chakin・chasen maru-bon no uchi ni hitotsu ni okite hakobu-koto ari [名香爐ナト賞玩スルトキナトハ、椀飯ノ後、茶入・茶碗・茶杓・茶巾・茶筌丸盆ノ内ニ一ツニヲキテハコフコトアリ].

    “When a famous kōro, or something like that, is being appreciated, and so forth, there is the case where, after the meal, the chaire, chawan, chashaku, chakin, [and] chasen are [arranged] on the maru-bon, placed as a unit, are carried out."

    Hitotsu ni okite [一ツニヲキテ = 一つに置きて] means “placed together as one” -- that is, the entire collection of objects is considered to be a single unit.  In other words, the various objects are assembled together on the dai maru-bon in the katte, and then carried out on the tray, which is then lifted up onto the ten-ita of the daisu.

    This behavior will probably strike many of us as being contrary to the way things are “supposed” to be done in chanoyu.  This is a clue that the temae was not created by someone who was focused on chanoyu (the Shino family was primarily concerned with incense).

¹¹Kono toki temmoku fukuro ni iri, dai wo mo bon no uchi ni irete hakobi-dashi [コノ時天目袋ニ入、臺ヲモ盆ノ内ニ入テ運ヒ出].

    “At this time, the temmoku is inside its fukuro, and the dai has also be placed onto the tray when it is carried out.”

    In other words, the temmoku, tied in its shifuku, is placed on the temmoku-dai, and this is stood on the tray along with all of the other utensils, and so it is carried out from the katte.  

    Again, this contradicts the way that people focused on chanoyu would usually behave (and, it is fair to point out that the way that tea people behave strikes the ordinary person in Japan as being incredibly weird, in general!).

¹²Kyaku mae ni te bon naka no cha-gu shikomi mo ari [客前ニテ盆中ノ茶具仕込モアリ].

    “There is also [the case] where the tea utensils are assembled on the tray, in front of the guests.”

    In other words, rather than arranging the various objects on the dai maru-bon in the katte, and then carrying the tray out in that way, it is also possible for the host to bring the tray out first, and then follow with the various other utensils, carried out one by one, and then arrange them on the tray while the guests are still sitting in the room.

    Kyaku mae [客前] -- in front of the guests -- is the important phrase, because it is by doing this that the guests will be informed that tea will be served after a recess (rather than that they may leave for home after exiting the room -- as was originally done at incense gatherings).

    Incense was best appreciated on an empty stomach, so it was appropriate for the host to serve his guests something afterward.  However, including tea after a break appears to have been an innovation championed by the Shino family, and so not always expected (or, necessarily, desired) by many of their guests.  Bringing out the tea utensils before the guests left the room would show what was to come, without making a special fuss about it (in case some of the guests preferred to depart immediately -- stating this aloud would seem to press them to stay, even if some had other business elsewhere).

    We must remember that the “cha-kai” [茶會] had not been invented yet.

¹³Mei-aru temmoku・chaire nado ha mu-yō nari, bon no mono taru-beshi [名アル天目・茶入ナトハ無用ナリ、凡ノモノタルヘシ].

    “A temmoku or chaire with a name, and so on, should not be used.  Ordinary objects should suffice.”

    A meibutsu temmoku, or meibutsu chaire must be handled carefully.  Only ordinary objects could possibly be assembled on a tray, and then carried out from the katte as a unit, as described here.

    This point must be understood clearly -- and the emphasis is necessary because the temmoku is tied in its shifuku (which ordinarily was done only when the temmoku was a special one).  It is tied in its shifuku here because the temmoku (and the other tea things) is prepared at the beginning of the gathering, though kept in the katte until later.  Returning it to its shifuku after washing it was seen as a way to keep it clean (since the preparation of the incense things in the katte often could result in dust flying around)*.

    Once again, we must remember that we are seeing things through the eyes of someone for whom incense was the important thing, and everything is done to facilitate that particular activity (preparing everything at the beginning would allow the host to proceed seamlessly from the incense, to the meal, to the setting up of the daisu for tea, without having his guests sit wondering when they will be free to get up and rest their legs). ___________ *Perhaps it should not surprise us that Rikyū, for one, had a very different feeling about returning the temmoku to its shifuku before the temae.

¹⁴Mata tsune no chawan nara ba shikomite, bon ni nose hakobu mo yoshi [又常ノ茶碗ナラハ仕込テ、盆ニノセ運フモヨシ].

    “Also if it is an ordinary chawan it may be [brought out after and] put together [with the other things]; or mounting it on the tray before [the tray] is carried out, is also acceptable.”

    An ordinary chawan* might be brought later, and added to the things on the tray; or it might be placed on the tray in the katte, and brought out on the tray along with the rest of the tea things. __________ *In the absence of a dai-temmoku.  This chawan is not a kae-chawan, but the bowl in which the tea will be served.

    While a dai-temmoku was sometimes used among equals, many people (including Rikyū) preferred to use it only when serving tea to a nobleman.  Such people would prefer to substitute an ordinary chawan for the dai-temmoku on occasions such as then when a nobleman was not present.

¹⁵Mata chawan no naka ni ha natsume・chaire nari, ireko ni shi chakin・chasen ha midare ni shite [又茶碗ノ中ニハナツメ・茶入ナリ、入子ニシ茶巾・茶センハミタレニシテ].

    “Or, again, inside the chawan might be the natsume or chaire.  When [the tea container] is stacked inside [the chawan], the chakin and chasen should be scattered [apart from the chawan].”

    If an ordinary chawan is used, rather than a dai-temmoku, and if the host decides to stack the natsume or chaire inside the chawan, then the chakin and chasen should be placed directly on the tray.

    We must remember that the natsume was created by Jōō; thus, presumably, the Shino family used some other kind of tea container (and, the majority of those sanctioned for use before Jōō‘s time were ceramic chaire).

¹⁶Kyaku mae ni te shikomi-koto mo ari, kayō no koto ryōken shite ikuyō ni mo to iu-iu [客前ニテ仕込コトモアリ、カヤウノコト料簡シテイクヤウニモト云〻].

    “This may also be done in front of the guests; but the end result should be as shown, regardless of how it is achieved, so it is said.”

    In other words, regardless of whether the things are arranged on the tray in the katte and then carried out as a unit, or whether the tray is brought out first, and then the rest of the things are carried out separately and then arranged on the tray, the final result should always resemble what is shown in the sketch.

    Carrying everything out as a unit is more efficient (the guests’ legs will probably be hurting by this point in the shoza), while carrying things out piece by piece shows more respect to the utensils.

    However, since the point is to inform the guests that tea will be served after a recess, no matter how it is achieved, it is the impact of the arrangement on the guests that is necessary -- otherwise the guests might escape once they are released.

——————————————–———-—————————————————

◎  Analysis of the Arrangement.

    The habōki and fukusa gather the dai-temmoku, chashaku, and natsume into one group -- indicating that tea will be served from the natsume first*.

    The tea in the sasa-mimi will be served later -- though whether as a second variety of koicha, or as usucha, depends on the host and his feelings regarding which kind of service his guests would prefer†. __________ *The basic temae would resemble the same arrangement when the objects were displayed on the shaku-nagabon:

- the kae-chawan would be lowered to the mat first;

- then the fukusa would be picked up, folded, and inserted into the futokoro of the host's kimono;

- then the chashaku would be piced up and lowered to rest across the rim of the kae-chawan;

- then the dai-temmoku would be moved to the ten-ita, to the left of the tray;

- next the natsume would be lowered to the mat, and placed in front of the mizusashi as usual; and then the dai-temmoku lowered and placed beside it;

- then the sasa-mimi would be moved to the center of the tray, and the habōki placed either in front of it, or to its left.

    Some see the centering of the sasa-mimi on the dai maru-bon (with the habōki placed either in front of it, or to its left) as following the precedent offered in entry 50 (where a taikai was displayed on either a naka maru-bon or a 1-shaku maru-bon, in this same way), and thereby use this as a way to demonstrate that entries 50 and 51 (along with the 3 “lost” arrangements) were an authentic part of Jōō’s manuscript.  However, the inversion of this theory is equally possible:  taking this secondary arrangement (which is not even mentioned in the annotation) as a sort of validation, the two entries in question could have been inserted where they were precisely because that would give them credence.

    The dai maru-bon would be lowered to the mat when it is time to serve tea with the sasa-mimi (both the dai temmoku and the sasa-mimi will stand on the tray during the preparation of tea); the habōki is used to clean the tray.

†Both the natsume, and the sasa-mimi would be tied in their shifuku.

    While, in the modern day, the usucha-ire is usually not tied in a shifuku, in the old days this was not done only when the tea it contained had been used previously (an example being that when Rikyū received guests after serving tea to Hideyoshi, while the utensils were all the same, the tea container was left without its shifuku -- since the tea it contained was what remained from his earlier gathering).  When the tea it contained had been freshly ground for this chakai, however, the container of tea intended for usucha was tied in a shifuku as well as that prepared for koicha -- and this had been the precedent since the time of Yoshimasa (who occasionally served three kinds of tea during one session, particularly when cutting open a new cha-tsubo  -- two kinds of koicha, and one usucha, representing the three varieties of tea typically sealed in each jar).

THE DEGENERATE’S GUIDE TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL TV WATCH ‘EM UPS 2021: WEEK THREE: THE END OF THE BEGINNING OF THE END

We’re still really in the early middle of the year. Sure, Oregon looked powerful against Ohio State but it’s possible Ohio State just hasn’t found it’s footing yet and the Ducks just peaked. Shit happens like that every year, more or less. You can pretty much count on Bama to win 10 and not much else. That only applies to football. The continued stratification of social classes, the accelerating collapse of natural systems that support human life, the complete lack of representation the average American in our freedom loving democracy- you can count on those things. Football is different, though: wilder but more ordered while somehow being better and stupider than real life all at the same time. It’ll be fun to all more or less die together, I think. So let’s get to the games!

I forget the business reason for having more major OOC games that actually stay on the schedule but we’re reaping the rewards for now. You know the rules: eastern times, average vegas odds at the time of writing, prediction abilities are bad on a good day, there’s supposed to be a weekly RTARLsman post but I haven’t done a real one in about 21 months, formatting errors up to and including listing the teams incorrectly aren’t worth pointing out because nobody’s coming to fix them anyway. I don’t expect professionalism out of you so don’t ask it out of me.

Saturday, September 18

Matchup                      Time (ET)        TV/Mobile

NIU at 25 Michigan     12:00pm            BTN

It’s easy to say Michigan is due for a self-inflicted dick kick the trick is to predict ahead of time when exactly the embarrassing, season-unraveling loss will come. I don’t think it’s today but I also don’t have a lot of faith in Michigan to cover a 27-point spread.

UAlbany at Syracuse     12:00pm        ACCN

I find it hard to believe Albany’s football program is in such disrepair that they don’t even warrant a line against Syracuse. I think we’ve had five 1AA-over 1A upsets so far this season. I couldn’t possibly watch this game but I’ll keep an eye out for it on the ticker. Syracuse is bad enough to lose anywhere to anybody.

  Tennessee Tech at Tennessee   12:00pm    ESPN+/SECN+

I should probably find a site that lists the good games at the top of each time slot instead of this free for all.

Western Michigan at Pitt     12:00pm    RSN/ESPN3

Pitt has actually looked pretty good so far but they don’t have an AP ranking yet. I can’t say much for this matchup so I just assume the Panthers cover the -14.5 and get a little number next to their name next week.

15 Virginia Tech at West Virginia     12:00pm    FS1

This is actually of some interest to me. Virginia Tech is ranked 15 on account of beating UNC but it’s not hard to imagine that neither the Hokies nor the Heels are actually worthy of a ranking. WFV is favored at home but still might trigger some couch burning and “upset” talk with a win. The Mountaineers are this week’s new collection from Homefield Apparel so expect some magic!

Boston College at Temple        12:00pm     ESPNU

Old Big East rivalry game. Nobody can look away.

Chattanooga at Kentucky         12:00pm     ESPN+/SECN+

I thought Chattanooga had moved up to 1A but there’s no line listed for this game so I guess not.

8 Cincinnati at Indiana           12:00pm            ESPN

Indiana was good last year and maybe that was just a once-in-a-generation fluke but I’ve still got visions of the Hoosiers toppling Cincy and ruining their theoretically possible playoff run. I’m assuming the Bearcats won’t play anybody else better than IU this year but that’s just a guess backed by historical precedent which isn’t a thing you should really use to gamble on college football.

16 Coastal Carolina at Buffalo    12:00pm      ESPN2

Chanticleers vs. Bulls, the eternal struggle writ in football. I don’t think the CSUNY school is particularly good this year but Coastal being favorited by 14 points in an early kickoff road games still feels like a trap to this sharp.

Michigan State at 24 Miami (FL)     12:00pm    ABC

Surprisingly to me, this is the fifth all-time meeting of these two schools. Just as surprising to me, Miami has never before lost to Michigan State. Weird but makes sense if you think about it, this will be the fourth out of five matchups played in Miami. As near as I can tell, Sparty tried to use the Canes the same way Notre Dame used to as an in-season bowl game but bailed on the idea when they kept losing. To be fair, Sparty’s record in bowl games isn’t that much better than their 0-4 against Miami. The last time these two met was 1989 when Percy Snow was on his way to the Butkus Award and Miami was on their way to a third National Championship. The Hurricanes team was pretty well-stacked but is probably the least remembered of their title teams. It did feature future Hall of Famer Cortez Kennedy and a freshman OL that would go on to be September 2021′s hottest head coach in cfb, Mario Cristobal. This year’s Miami roster might look good in 30 years but right now they’re a little messy. D’Eriq King is only 8 months removed from ACL surgery (if you watch the game you will hear about this several hundred time) and has so far looked bad on his throws and a touch slower than he has in the past. Which makes sense given the timeframe but does not generally bode well for Miami’s prospects for this season.

Nebraska at 3 Oklahoma         12:00pm         FOX

If Oklahoma is a real title contender they are gonna lay Nebraska the fuck out. I’m scared of the 22.5-point line just because I don’t think the Sooners defense could stop Bishop Sycamore but it’s not crazy to think Nebraska can saw their own dicks off to the tune of a four-score loss.

New Mexico at 7 Texas A&M     12:00pm       SECN

Fuck. Jimbo must be stopped. I hate this Aggies team. UNM isn’t the team to do it but somebody along the way has to throttle aTm or this season is going to become a plague the likes of which we haven’t seen since... well, now, I guess.

UConn at Army                 12:00pm         CBSSN

Reading this matchup aloud five times in a mirror will kill college football.

Southeast Missouri at Missouri      12:00pm       ESPN+/SECN+

The southeastern part of the state will travel to within the bounds of the state for a classic football game somewhere within the borders of the state.

Minnesota at Colorado            1:00pm         P12N

I’m not completely disinterested. It’s weird and doesn’t have any national impact. Not much more you can ask for in a game you probably can’t find on your TV.

Nevada at Kansas State          2:05pm          ESPN+

Hell yeah, this is trash. Nevada is a road favorite! Take KState all the way.

Purdue at 12 Notre Dame         2:30pm          NBC

Notre Dame has looked a little bit of a mess so far but they’ve won both of their games. Not the worst position to be in. Purdue has also won both of their games. I don’t want to get my hopes up just yet but it seems like the Irish are riding the razor’s edge just asking to be pushed off. Keep an eye on this score, maybe the good people of the world will have something to celebrate in the late afternoon/early evening.

Kent State at 5 Iowa                 3:30pm         BTN

Iowa’s fifth? It’s too fucking early for this shit.

Florida State at Wake Forest     3:30pm         ESPN

0-2 Florida State goes on the road as a 4-point underdog to face 2-0 Wake Forest. Mike Norvell is really out on a plank right now and I am not sure he can safely find his way back to the deck.

Georgia Tech at 6 Clemson        3:30pm          ABC

Clemson’s got talent all over and Georgia Tech sucks but I’m still not sold on DJ Uigalelei as an NFL savior type of player. Or a national championship winner for that matter. He reminds me of EJ Manuel.

Baylor at Kansas                    3:30pm             ESPN+

Baylor is not good but the betting public is getting hip to the “bet against Kansas every chance you get” strategy so the line has jumped four points already this week and I wouldn’t be surprised if it makes it another couple before kickoff to get to 20+. Which is still probably too kind to the Jayhawks.

1 Alabama at 11 Florida           3:30pm           CBS

Bama has only had a couple of practice games against lower division opponents but they look as complete as any team I can remember from a talent/scheme perspective. This is a pretty good test and the 15-point line seems a little over-confident on the road in the Swamp. If the Bammers really do overwhelm the Gators then you can pretty much start planning on their return to the CFB Playoffs.

Tulsa at 9 Ohio State                3:30pm            FS1

Every week of every year I struggle to keep Tulsa and Toledo straight. Toledo is the one that almost beat Notre Dame last week. Tulsa is the one that lost to UC-Davis in week 1. Ohio State may be troubled on defense but that only matters against other top-tier teams. Having the line moving in Tulsa’s direction is absolute lunacy. If the Buckeyes can’t cover 25 points then they’re in real trouble. For now my guess is that Oregon is just better than we realized and OSU is going to be fine.

SMU at Louisiana Tech             3:30pm         CBSSN

This is my kind of counter-programming if nothing else is close. Not sure if there are some ponies down to have points shifting towards the Karl Malones but I think SMU is up to a two-score win.

LIU at Miami (Ohio)                    3:30pm          ESPN+

Sure, whatever you say.

USC at Washington State         3:30pm            FOX

At first I thought this was USC-UW and I was ready to emotionally invest in the drama but it’s just Wazzou. USC giving up on a playoff spot in week two to sit around and wait for Urban Meyer is going to be fucking hilarious when the Trojans end up getting jilted at the altar.

Idaho at Oregon State                3:30pm           P12N Oregon

Pac-12 Network Oregon. This implies the existence of a P12N Washington. I’ve seen the main network on TV before. It was fine if a little bit too “featuring Matt Leinart” for my tastes but seeing the weird way they’ve splintered their content is giving me a deeper understanding of west coast football fans that absolutely hate the Pac-12 Network.

Bryant at Akron                           3:30pm           ESPN3

Tune in to see some guy named Bryant touring around Akron.

Elon at Appalachian State          3:30pm           ESPN+

I hope App State runs this grifter out of their campus on a rail. The more bad stuff happens to Elon Musk the better off all of humanity will be.

Delaware at Rutgers                   3:30pm             BTN

Fuck me, this is just all the pain in the world masquerading as a sporting event.

Eastern Michigan at UMass         3:30pm          FloFootball/NESN+

I don’t have much interest in this game but seeing that it’s available on the Nintendo Entertainment System Network is intriguing.

Colorado State at Toledo              4:00pm           ESPNU

Toledo blew a huge opportunity last week so they’re ripe for a letdown but all signs point to Colorado State being incredibly bad at football this year.

Sacramento State at California    4:00pm          P12N Bay Area

P12N Bay Area probably reaches cable subscribers in like Vallejo and nowhere else in the entire world. When I put it that way it seems like exactly where this game belongs but it’s still not a thing that should exist. I mean the network but it’s true for the game also.

Northwestern at Duke              4:00pm              ACCN

Disgusting.

Mississippi State at Memphis        4:00pm          ESPN2

I think Memphis can knock down the SEC’s middle tier but I haven’t gotten a clear idea of either of these teams yet.

Georgia Southern at 20 Arkansas       4:00pm      SECN

Arkansas rose up last week because of the weird insistence by Lice Dad that playing a middling Texas team was the biggest game in school history. Arkansas has played in the SEC CG more than once. They’ve won a national championship. How does a guy that’s paid to be an SEC homer even make such a dumb statement and keep his job?

Ball State at Wyoming                  4:00pm             Stadium

I watched the CFB 150 episode about the Black 14 this week so now it’s all I can think about for Wyoming football.

Arkansas State at Washington       4:15pm            P12N

What the hell happened to UDub to fall back to this lowly spot? Did Chris Peterson just fall on his ass in recruiting?

Murray State at Bowling Green       5:00pm           ESPN3

This sounds like a sixties movie title for a spy agency thriller that could be mistaken for a comedy when not viewed through a then-contemporary lens.

East Carolina at Marshall                 6:00pm         Facebook

ECU is looking like a doormat and Marshall might be really good again but I would never in good conscience ever contribute to facebook’s good fortunes wittingly.

Fordham at Florida Atlantic             6:00pm             ESPN3

I want to love this game but I actually hate it.

Old Dominion at Liberty                    6:00pm           ESPN3

There is going to be so much COVID passed around this stadium.

Middle Tennessee at UTSA                6:00pm          ESPN+

Beautiful, horrible, unwatchable mess. This is where you go to feel like you are alone in the universe.

Troy at Southern Miss                        7:00pm             ESPN+

There’s also this.

Grambling State at Houston               7:00pm             ESPN+

And this one.

Utah at San Diego State                      7:00pm            CBSSN

This is real entertainment. Twitter will be all over the next listing so I’ll be FOMO’d into watching that for a while but SDSU-Utah on CBS SN might be where I first dreamt up the concept of degenerate football. It was either that or a UFL game featuring a QB duel between Daunte Culpepper and Jeff Garcia.

South Carolina at 2 Georgia               7:00pm             ESPN

I’m waiting for Georgia to bumble. I’m counting on it. Georgia-Clemson was a classic early season game that somehow helps both teams in the rankings all year but ends up actually being a showcase of how shitty their offense are rather than a referendum on great defense.

UIW at Texas State                             7:00pm              ESPN3

I think UIW is a union trade school or something. So I guess I’m rooting for them.

Charlotte at Georgia State                 7:00pm              ESPN+

Charlotte’s semester in Atlanta would shape her life in ways that nobody could have envisioned when she left her family’s home in the late summer following her failed attempt to run a bakeshop.

FIU at Texas Tech                              7:00pm             ESPN+

Maybe I actually hate college football.

Florida A&M at USF                           7:00pm             ESPN+

USF could lose this. Worth checking on if you see an upset alert.

Furman at NC State                          7:30pm            RSN/ESPN3

Body bag game.

Utah State at Air Force                     7:30pm             FS2

Kind of neat degenerate game but, depending on the uniform choices, could be a bit monotone and tough to follow.

Virginia at 21 North Carolina             7:30pm             ACCN

The South’s Oldest Rivalry! Like most of the previous 125 meetings of these two school’s, this year’s game will mainly decide who sucks worse. Of course in the ACC Coastal being slightly less bad than your opponents is the winningest strategy of all. Go Hoos!

Stony Brook at 4 Oregon                   7:30pm            P12N

Great scheduling to follow up an emotional game with a body bag. I’m not being facetious, this is right where you need these games.

UAB at North Texas                          7:30pm           Stadium

Not gonna open an app or whatever to watch this but I bet it’s fun for off-brand college football.

Central Michigan at LSU                  7:30pm             SECN

LSU at home at night is supposed to be the best atmosphere in college football. Way better than a 19.5-point line against Central Michigan. What stage of LSU’s life cycle are we in right now?

22 Auburn at 10 Penn State               7:30pm            ABC

War goddamn Eagle, baby. Penn State is doing that stupid white out thing which, correct if I’m wrong again, only goes for the people in the stands. So they’ll all be dressed up in pretty much Auburn’s road colors to watch Auburn. I hate Auburn but I really hate Penn State.

Alcorn State at South Alabama          8:00pm           ESPN3

Things are looking rough for the rest of the docket.

Rice at Texas                                      8:00pm            LHN

A battle of equals.

Stanford at Vanderbilt                        8:00pm           ESPNU

Look at this American aristocracy horse shit. Fuck these schools and the teams of horses that carried them in.

Tulane at 17 Mississippi                      8:00pm              ESPN2

The racist south may just have the nation’s best QB. It’s a good year for Matt Corral to show off his arm strength because 2022 is not looking like a bumper crop of QB draftees at this far off date. He’s small for the position but Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield and Russell Wilson are all smaller. If the arm talent is real he could go #1 overall.

Jackson State at ULM                         8:00pm              ESPN3

Nope.

SC State at New Mexico State            8:00pm           FloFootball / CW El Paso

Sorry.

Oklahoma State at Boise State              9:00pm          FS1

Whoa whoa whoa. This is uniform heaven. And on the blue turf? Your eyes will burn. Embrace that feeling.

Northern Arizona at Arizona                  10:00pm          P12N AZ

P12N AZ. Holy shit. What the hell were these people thinking? This has to be the smallest demo ever targeted by a network.

19 Arizona State at 23 BYU                     10:15pm          ESPN

Seeing these teams face off as ranked opponents is very weird. Real late 80s vibe here. It’s titillating in its way. Might not even be the most fun game in the late night region.

14 Iowa State at UNLV                           10:30pm           CBSSN

UNLV is an absolute wasteland of a program. It’s kind of stupid, really. They aren’t in an unsellable spot and they don’t play the most rugged schedule but year after year after year they lose 9 or more games. Makes more sense than not having a good baseball program but there should be some G5 magic in Vegas. Iowa State is going to roll.

Fresno State at 13 UCLA                       10:45pm            P12N

Chip Kelly having UCLA as the premier program in L.A. is something I couldn’t have seen coming just last week but we’re there now. And Fresno State plays some wild offense that could/should make this the late night hangout spot. If you can find it. If you have this channel. That shouldn’t be a question! Fuckin’ a, Pac-12, what are you doing?

San Jose State at Hawaii                      12:30am            FS1

Technically a Sunday game but I cut the header because if you’re watching this there is an implicit understanding that it’s still Saturday. Not sure what’s going on with the kick time, though. I was under the impression that Hawaii games had to kick off by 11:59pm Eastern to count with the rest of the week’s games. Very odd. That’s really all I have to say about this game.
