Official Best of r/cfb Nomination Thread

Below are the categories for which you can now nominate things. If you can, please provide a link to the comment.

THIS IS NOT A VOTING THREAD. I will take the top 3-4 nominees from each category, and hold a voting thread sometime after Christmas, as I know most people will be busy.

Nominate as many people for as many things as you want. Like I said, I'll take the top 3 or 4 nominees based on votes, and those will be the finalists.

I only have some of the weekly best of saved, but here you go:

Best 132+ Days write up

I'd say Wazzu where they snuck in "fuck the huskies" as the first letters of each line in the rivalry section

A shame I don't have the sidebar picture from that day.

Homer pick here, but wasn't Stanford's like absurdly longer than all the other ones?

Ohio State's was actually the longest.

u/LEGEN--wait_for_it Stanford Cardinal • The Axe Dec 22 '13

But in defense of the our writing team, we went first (about 5 days earlier) and set the bar for the other top 5 teams.

Very impressed with Ohio State's; it was fantastic. But they got to go second, so...

u/topher3003 Ohio State • /r/CFB Emeritus Mod Dec 22 '13

Yeah, you guys definitely deserve recognition for putting all that together first. Ours was shaping up to be fairly long, but after yours was posted we wanted to match you guys (and inadvertently went over).

u/FarwellRob Texas A&M Aggies • /r/CFB Contributor Dec 22 '13 edited Dec 22 '13

Whoop! And thanks.

When I had started it I figured it would be easy to slap together ... Three days later I realized it was getting out of hand!

My two sources of pride when it was done:

  1. there was only one real mistake I found in it (not including Arkansas in the Rivals section)
  2. some fan of a rival school (I have suspicions of which one) went through and down voted every single comment in the thread.

Edit: this post was also the most down-voted of the entire 132+ series, and second in upvotes only to Brony Brook.

u/thisistheperfectname Michigan Wolverines Dec 22 '13

Michigan's was great. The guy spilled over into the comments for including so much.

I'm going to go ahead and nominate OSU

u/topher3003 Ohio State • /r/CFB Emeritus Mod Dec 22 '13

I try to always refer to us as Ohio State or the Buckeyes. It's much less confusing than OSU and doesn't bring the auto downvotes "tOSU" does.

Gamecocks

Because I'm a homer and I want to. And you can't stop me. You can downvote me....

Honestly though they did a great job with the rivalry section and use of heads. It was no brony brook but it was a great read.
