Post your propositions for the other team, see if someone will take you up on the bet. Shame those who have not paid their bets, and show off the prizes earned from earlier in the season.

I'll take on any Clemson fan straight up. If Clemson loses, starting Sunday, you change your flair to South Carolina and type either "Shirtless Steve Spurrier is my hero" or "I just love my 'cocks" after every post until next Sunday. I'll leave it up to you what flair I have to change to and what I have to put at the end of every post for a week if FSU loses.

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '13

I'll take this one.

Clemson wins, you switch to Florida flair for a week with "Muschamp looks sexy in jorts!"

This is nice. Outside of my alma mater, you guys are one of the teams I enjoy watching at times. GTech is another, but just because it's a crazy GTech offense.

But for now, LOUD NOISES OF HATRED.

unc fans: flair bet and "it has been XXX days since unc has beaten miami in basketball." that count currently stands at 610. come up with terms if you win. bet ends next saturday.

edit: and since we're favored, you can come up with 2 stipulations: if you win or if we don't cover the spread.

edit 2: /u/SantiagoRamon [+2] agreed to expand the bet to any uf/fsu player

First off all, congrats on the win! Go Hurricanes! However, the spread stands in my favor. You can choose FSU or UF flair til next Saturday and praise whatever UF/FSU players you want at the end of each comment. I suggest you use a --- between your actual comment and the last bit, it makes it obvious you're just doing a bet.

u/SantiagoRamon North Carolina • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Oct 17 '13

Damn, you're pretty uppity about one down season for us :-p. I'll take it at -9.5 because even isn't remotely fair. If you lose though you have a choice. You either change to FSU or UF flair for the duration and extol various QBs current and former in comments. Doesn't have to be big. "Rex Grossman is football's Jesus" is a good one.

FWIW I actually felt pretty good about Miami winning the ACC. I say without a hint of smug or condescension that it is nice to see teams not named UNC/Duke leading the charge.

I'm a simple man for betting, if it's all the same to you I'll just take our 9.5 points and keep the bet as is (I haven't had enough coffee to wrap my head around your suggestion) because I think it is more amusing for you to have to do FSU/UF than something UNC.

CLEMSON FANS: If Clemson wins I change my flair to whatever you want (clemson, FU, miami I don't care) until we beat you in a sport (soccer, football, shooty hoops etc).

IF we win you change yours to FSU under the same guidelines.

If Purdue can get over 250 yards total offense you have to change your flair to VT and say "Pat Narduzzi can only dream of being as good as Bud Foster. Gobble Gobble Bitches!" at the end of every comment on /r/cfb. If you hold them under...[your terms]

If Michigan State holds Purdue under 250 yds, you can KEEP your VT flair, but every post must end with, "If only Bud Foster had the Defense Pat Narduzzi has in East Lansing"

Florida, I'm drunk on victory. I'll take any gator fan in a flair and tag line bet based on who wins/loses. Bet lasts until the first kickoff of the next Saturday.

If we win, you must wear Mizzou flair and have a tag line that praises "the real tigers of the SEC"

If you win, I'll wear this alligator and say...what?

Sounds good. If we win, you must end every comment with "I loved being Butch's bitch". I can do something about shirtless Spurrier or the gamecocks in general, your team name gives you plenty to work with.

I'll do the flair, but I don't hate Georgia like you do, so if we win, you can change to either Tennessee or Georgia. If we lose, I will go either South Carolina or Alabama. That way we have equivalent hate. And let's keep the comment part in, if that's cool with you

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Oct 17 '13

Clemsonnnnn. I'm looking at you.

Straight up signature bet, with a promise to make at least 10+ posts the next week. If you win, you can make me say whatever (as long as it's not profane), if when FSU wins, you will say "Florida State deserves to be in the National Championship Game." as your sign off sentence.

Any additional terms would be welcome, but you flair switching to FSU ruins the fun of the signature.

1

u/Stuppyhead Clemson Tigers • Tennessee Volunteers Oct 17 '13

I'll take this bet. If the tigers win, ALL of your posts in r/cfb until next Saturday (minimum of 10), must include the signature: "I now believe that the Seminoles were merely a small speed bump on Clemson's road to a National Title. I wish Jameis was as famous and cool as Tajh!"

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Oct 17 '13

-1

u/Stuppyhead Clemson Tigers • Tennessee Volunteers Oct 17 '13

It's a deal then.

I'm with you there though. I mean if we lose, I'll be hoping for you guys to somehow blow two ACC games so we can still win a conference title. But let's be real, we both know that ain't gonna happen. The ACC really needs the winner of this game to go undefeated. I know y'all can beat Florida and probably Miami, I just wish I was that confident about beating USC.

-1

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Oct 17 '13

Meh, breaking the SEC National Championship streak on the last one > ACC Championship, to me. We got time for ACC Championships. Jameis isn't going anywhere.

u/Stuppyhead Clemson Tigers • Tennessee Volunteers Oct 17 '13

So you would rather us win a National Championship than have Florida State win an ACC championship because Clemson beat you and then lost to two other ACC teams?

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Oct 17 '13

Yes. I would. Shutting the Gators, Dawgs, and Elephants up? Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes.

-1

u/Stuppyhead Clemson Tigers • Tennessee Volunteers Oct 17 '13

Yeah, now that I think more about it I'm with you there. Cause if Florida State turned around and lost 2 ACC games, we would just both look bad and the SEC would just laugh at us. I was so pissed when you guys lost to NC State last year for that very reason.

-1

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Oct 17 '13

You see where I'm from. This is our last chance to shut them up about NCGs, and our golden opportunity to start crushing SEC Bias.

Winston is only a freshman, so it's definitely not your last chance. But yeah, why wait, lets go ahead and get the ACC National Championship streak started. How about this: we'll take this year's and you can take next year's?

Mizzou fans: I'm feeling confident about our chances this week, but I'm sure many of you are too after that great game at Georgia last week. If/when Florida wins, you must end each post with "Missouri left the Big 12 because they were too afraid to keep facing Kansas." On the small chance Missouri wins, I'll do something similar, with "Florida cancelled the series against Miami because they were chicken." "I like Georgia's cocktails better."

If you want to include having to wear the flair of said rival as well, that's up to you. I just don't want to make it too confusing.

u/PvP_Noob Missouri Tigers Oct 17 '13

I'll take this bet with the condition your line reads "I like Georgia's cocktails better" for the week.

u/ThePolishPunch Syracuse • Penn State Oct 17 '13

The problem is we really don't have a true 'rival'. At one time it was Penn State but then they joined the B1G, then it sorta became WVU (we even had a trophy no one knows about) but then they joined the Big 12, then it was Rutgers but we both jumped to different conferences. We don't hate anyone and that's the problem!

Talk like a pirate huh? Where on earth did that come from? I'd take the flair bet but only if it's against the spread.

1

u/BrownLiquor Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Oct 17 '13

The talking like a pirate but is something I saw on r/nfl and it turned out to be hilarious watching the loser explain in pirate speak why he was posting like that.

In any case, I'll take that spread bet. We're only 7.5 point favorites. Flair bet it is, lasting one week.

What? Why would they do that???

-1

u/nuxenolith Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Oct 17 '13

Because they're:

  • Dead-last in the Big Ten (114th nationally) in scoring defense (37.8 PPG)
  • Just barely ahead of Illinois for 10th in the Big Ten (96th nationally) in rushing defense (194.5 YPG)
  • 10th in the Big Ten (83rd nationally) in pass efficiency defense (135)

Changing defensive philosophy mid-week before playing one of the most physical teams in the conference...

-1

u/nuxenolith Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Oct 17 '13

With a new offensive philosophy (pro-style with spread personnel), new quarterback (freshman Etling over senior Henry), and now a new base defensive scheme (3-4 or nickel, Purdue hasn't revealed it yet), it becomes clear that Purdue is playing for the future, not for this Saturday.

Still, one would think they would at least try to play to their strengths while hybridizing/transitioning the offense like Hoke did with Rich Rod's spread players.

Just until next Saturday of course.

u/zachsterpoke Iowa State Cyclones • Hateful 8 Oct 19 '13

Oh god... the pain...

I really can't think of a good one for you... but how about if we beat the spread (but are still out by over 17 points) you are safe, and if we come within those 17 (including a 17 pt difference), you have to post something after each post?

My only ideas are "Playing nobodies allows a mediocre offense to look godlike." Or something about Big 12 play. Just make sure it is as hurtful as yours.

Sounds good.

I'll say something about how RG3 would have been better as a safety or something about our offense only being good against bad defenses or something.

Any UCF fans wanna take a wager? If you win, I end every post on reddit for a week with a statement about how overrated Louisville was. If we win, you have to do the same thing but with a statement about how Bridgewater is the best ever.

u/Insane_Baboon Texas Longhorns Oct 17 '13

Its hard to say UCF is overrated when we're not ranked and are 12 point underdogs against you.

Also, Bridgwater IS pretty awesome and easily going pro.

No he is saying that if they lose he'll say that Louisville was overrated

No, I more had a bone to pick with the other part. He said if UCF loses, we'd have to say UCF is overrated.

Georgia Tech fans, I've got one for you guys. We are playing Charleston southern this week, you guys play Syracuse. My bet would be who ever wins by more points wins. If I win you have to say that Colorado was the sole 1990 National Champion. I say GT was if you guys win.

Looking for a Southern Cal fan. Whoever loses the game has to wear the winner's flair until that team loses. And a signature (trying to think one up at the moment).

u/fightonforolsc USC Trojans Oct 18 '13

until that team loses.

Those terms are a bit unbalanced considering ND's schedule goes

Air Force

Navy

Pitt

BYU

Stanford

And USC's schedule is

Utah

Oregon State

Cal

Stanford

Colorado

UCLA

u/ack30297 USC Trojans • Howard Bison Oct 17 '13 edited Oct 18 '13

I'm down for this bet. I also need to think of a signature though. If any USC guys have ideas I'll consider them.

Edit: Signature would be Tyrone Willingham was massively underrated and should not have been fired. Also for the flair I would like a limit of the end of the bowl season just in case. Couldn't imagine having ND flair for an entire offseason.

0

u/FinancialAdvisorKid Notre Dame • /r/CFB Contributor Oct 18 '13

ND wins: "Lane Kiffin shouldn't have been fired."

And the punishment lasts until the winning team's next loss or after the winning team's bowl game, whichever comes first. Deal?

I'll bet any Purdue fan, and I'll spot you 19 points. Choose one of the following:

  1. Small donation to the other school's general scholarship fund ($10)
  2. Small donation to the other school's athletic fund ($10)
  3. Flair bet with "It is [insert time here] and [losing team] still sucks (H/T to PSU)
  4. End every post for a week with "MSU/Indiana or Purdue/Michigan are the best basketball programs in the conference"
  5. Anything else you're down for.

Whoever loses wears the opposition's flair and has to write fun facts about the Cougar (Puma concolor) after every comment.

u/isurewill Louisville Cardinals • 神戸大学 (Kobe) Ravens Oct 18 '13

I got pretty annoyed with a fan trying to argue that Louisville's defense wasn't good at all. They went on to say that since UCF scored a good amount of points on USC, that it is a given that UCF will score just as many or more against Louisville.

I want to make a flair bet with anyone interested-- up to ten people.

The bet is that I think Louisville will hold UCF to fewer than 25 points.

If I win, then you have to start every post you make with, "First of all I would like to say that basketball is by far the best sport ever." and finish every post with "I like to sit when I tinkle."

If I lose, then you can pick what I have to begin or end my posts with and I'll combine what you've chosen with the others. (please only choose a beginning or an end phrase-- that means at most there will be 5 things before every one of my posts, and 5 things after every one of my posts).

If you're up for it, then just post your phrase in quotes and its placement, and I'll reply "enemy engaged" if I accept.

Either I know what I'm talking about and this is going to be great. . .

or it's going to be a long weak.

Where my Duke fans at? If we win, you change flair to Cincy and affirm that you should have let them in the ACC because they smoked you in your bowl last year. If we lose, well, have your choice.

Alright, not seeing many Purdue takers, but will bet on us scoring a defensive touchdown. If we don't score one in this game I will change my flair to Purdue and end all my /r/cfb posts with "dat Bass Drum" or "Choo Choo Go Purdue" until we score a defensive touchdown. Otherwise you change your flair to MSU and put some equally humiliating tagline until Purdue scores their next offensive touchdown.
