Oh, so it is possible to score against tOSU from the 1 yard line. Just need a mobile quarterback. Gee, wish we had one of those on our roster...

The CFP bracket has been released:

The Game

Go Blue, but if (when) this starts getting lopsided I can't imagine I will be watching this one for long

Texas embarrassing itself last night is much more understandable when you realize the Longhorns were looking ahead to facing ranked Vandy on the road.

You heard me correctly. RANKED VANDY

I actually kind of wish that the community had Bama ranked #1, because for those upsets in the past I've swapped out the end zones with those of the upsetting team (unfortunately last season that included my own Longhorns losing as the community's #1 in the Red River Shootout). Of course, I don't have Vanderbilt's end zones ready to go in my Photoshop file...

I may still shop in Pavia over the script A when I have some more time tomorrow because this is just huge for them and deserves special treatment

STOP THE COUNT!

If I were the band director, I'd play it anyway. He doesn't have authority over them. Why even have a marching band if they can't play the fight song?

If you want to make it all about your son, how about commissioning the band for some theme music they could play just for him or something. I wouldn't have nearly as much distrust and distaste for Sanders if he could just be integrate into a school's culture and traditions rather than parasitically replacing them with his own cult of personality.

Sounds like even Joel Klatt is souring on the Sanders experiment, so it might not be long until the whole fan base is calling for him to go (although I'm sure he's planning on leaving after this season anyway)

Arrrggh, these deep ball catches, man. Just, like, commit PI or something, don't let them reel em in

Hail, HAIL to Michigan!!!

Uggghh, I can't stomach OT. I'm already anxious about the Sugar Bowl coming up...

User flair. I know it's probably not that high on the list for most who might see it as a gimmick, but it's almost essential for sports discussion to know what team a user supports. I'm sure many other communities have compelling reasons as well.

Hey all, I'm from the Fanaticus instance. Not going to try to persuade anyone to switch, just wanted to offer my thoughts:

I see advantages to both communities. The fact that there is a cfb community here on the "default" instance, so to speak, means it will probably be found by newbies to the fediverse. On the other hand, if it's inactive or if lemmy.world is down (which was the case when I migrated to Lemmy), I don't know how good user retention will be. What I like about the Fanaticus instance is because it's only sports, threads are less likely to get downvoted or passed over by non-sports folks (which, let's be frank, is the majority of Lemmy users). Plus, team communities can all be in one place.

It would be nice if both communities could coexist and grow. As you've noted, that requires active mods. I definitely plan to be active on Fanaticus daily, but I can't speak for anyone else. I'm also open to cross-posting content to this instance. That works for news and even OC, but I agree it would be ideal to settle on one place for discussions (e.g. game threads and polls). Because I only found this community recently, I'm fine with submitting my poll to whichever instance can reach a bigger audience.
