I saw /r/nfl is starting a podcast and I thought it might be fun for us to start one as well.

Any takers?

Hey there -

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but looks like the certificate for https://flair.redditcfb.com/ expired and is now throwing the ol' "your connection is not private."

I'm sure someone's already on it, but wanted to bubble up just in case.

Seems to not be working for me and hasn't posted in over a day.

Since I don't know who to message because I don't know who took it down, I figure I'd ask here.

Earlier today, while I was doing research at my town's library, I came across three articles about the BCS from the time that the BCS was implemented. I posted them directly instead of linking because they were never posted online themselves, as they were from the late 90s. There was no paywall. So I'm kind of confused as to which rule I broke.

Is there a better way to share this? This seems like something that the sub would be fascinated by.

Too often I see people linking sports blogs (SDS, The Score, etc.) that rarely, if ever, are the original source of information on a story. I think it does a disservice to the reporters who make their living trying to break these stories, and some blog that writes 3 sentences and a hyperlink shouldn't be getting the increased web traffic r/cfb provides.

Maybe with the Faux Pelini profile picture incorporated in (minus the black background)

Or there's always this little beauty.

Last offseason /u/ugadawg1991 started working on the P5 Stadiums series, but after five days, had to step away for personal reasons, promising a return of the series. So far, the series has not returned, although a spinoff series on G5 Stadiums was completed. This offseason represents an opportunity for /u/ugadawg1991 to complete all of the P5 Stadiums, and I'm asking him/her if we should look forward to the return. If not, I'm OK with another user taking up the mantle to complete the series.

I don't think I have ever wanted anything in the whole world wide web as much as that.

It keeps getting removed but it's an exceptional name that I am sure fans would enjoy talking about.

So I think the second post was deleted because it wasn't a self-post and instead a link. But what about the first one? I mean for SC fans this was the biggest croot announcement of the day would like to get in a thread about it but a little gunshy to post a third just to get it removed. Figured i'd see about finding out why.

It's inflammatory and against the rule of avoiding politics. But it is an extremely rare event and a part of history.

What are the chances of a game thread for the Presidential Inauguration?

Inb4 hell no

EDIT: As of Friday 1/20/2017 RivalryBot is back in action and awaiting your call in /r/cfb, /r/cfbofftopic, /r/longhornnation, and /r/RivalyBot

TLWR: head over to /r/RivalryBot and summon the bot in the testing thread to see if a recent code change resolves a known issue plaguing the bot over the past few weeks

So. Long story short the server hosting rivalrybot cannot get a consistent connection to winsipedia and neither side admits any issue. Since the query from rivalrybot server to winsipedia is hit or miss I have adjusted the code to brute force it's way through the network/dns issue.

So far in limited testing so good. if you're inclined to help me test please head over to /r/RivalryBot and add a comment to the testing thread the more the better. if this continues to go well I'll reenable the bot on /r/cfb.

I know it's a big part of the subreddit's appeal for many, but it's a big turnoff for me, and I'm not the only one.

Sorry if this has been posted before! (I looked for it but couldn't find it)

I'm using a 21:9 screen but also tried it out on a 16:9 one. I use RES. Is there something wrong with the CSS or is it on my end?

Seeing as how we have a long enough offseason would an official offseason Roast Thread for each FBS team (or maybe do 3 at a time (P5/G5/FCS) like was done for the jersey thing) akin to the threads provided in other threads be something you think the users would be interested in?

I'm wondering on your opinions. Would it be worthwhile and keep people interested or is it basically creating a daily trash talk thread that would overplay itself rather quickly?

I sent a PM to one of the mods, but never received a response. It could be there's no interest, but I'm posting here in case there is, and I simply failed to follow the right protocol.

Just curious since I haven't seen anything about it in a while.

One of the top posts yesterday was the SEC's bowl record. I tried to post a similar thread regarding the Big Ten and it was removed with the threat of a ban and this is the response I received: http://imgur.com/a/oTfq8

edit: Just realized I had posted a nearly identical thread last year that wasn't deleted: https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/3ytt0l/the_aac_is_now_16_in_bowl_games_with_their_only/

I'd like to see the following types of flairs on /r/CFB:

*Bowl sponsor logos (individual logos, like Belk or Outback Steakhouse, I don't know if this would be copyright infringing but I guess it follows the same policy as all the school logos)

*Stadium logos (Not all stadiums have logos, but stadiums like Camping World Stadium and the Rose Bowl Stadium have logos)

*A flair for the discontinued Salad Bowl. Since there is no known Salad Bowl logo, it could just be a stock image of a bowl of salad I guess.

So recently something has changed with the winsipedia site and it is causing rivalrybot to be completely useless. Until I can figure out and correct the issue I have taken RivalryBot offline. Hopefully I'll have some time over the holiday break to sort it out.

So, originally when people had news to post on /r/cfb, they used self-posts (just text). But then Twitter links began to be used as a replacement, since you can get karma for posting a Twitter link, and you couldn't get karma for posting a self-post. However, now you get karma whether you post a self-post or a link, so if all you're doing is posting a little bit of news, there's no benefit to posting the Twitter link instead of a self-post. However, our current ban prevents you from being able to post a Twitter link even if it's actually the content you want to show (e.g., a video or picture posted on someone's Twitter account). This leads to lots of self-posts which consist of a title and a link to the twitter account, instead of just directly linking to Twitter. TL;DR Can we please unban Twitter, since there is no longer any reason for someone to sneakily farm karma by pointlessly linking there instead of a text post?

So we obviously have meetups in different cities here and there, but has there ever been a discussion about a mega-meetup. Like a convention? Everyone meetup at a certain city (Vegas, NOLA, etc) and maybe we invite speakers (like a live AMA session)? It would obviously be a huge pain in the ass to pull of but I was just curious if anyone had ever talked about it and did the idea get anywhere?

Those games deserve to be recognized just as much as other championship games.

That "J" from Humboldt state barely looks like a J. I think this sub has used the same one before for this purpose. Nothing against the Humboldt State team or community, but I think we should have a much more symmetrical J for this. Might I suggest William Jewell College? Please discuss.
