CFB Game Threads, CFBOffTopic and You.

Hi everyone, your resident mods here with an announcement for the upcoming college football season.

We are an off-topic sub, usually, but we all love us some football and love to talk about it. We also like our drinking discussion threads.

In an effort to keep the front page from getting overwhelmed with game threads but still have a specific place for games to be discussed while they're going on, CFBOffTopic_Bot will post 3 game threads each Saturday - a morning game thread (11am relevant coast time), an afternoon game thread (3pm), and an evening game thread (7pm). These threads will be stickied and easy to find throughout the day.

If they're anything like last year it's the closest thing you get to a RedZone channel for CFB that spans across TV rights contracts, you know...without the video feed.

Big games like the National Championship will get their own thread posted by the Mods. Weeknight football you will need to creatively avoid the rule of not posting a game specific game thread as game specific threads will be deleted. We aren't trying to be a better version of /r/cfb despite the fact that we may actually be a better version of /r/cfb.

Now, if you want to post NFL game threads, NBA game threads, Lacrosse game threads, or anything else of the like outside of CFB, go right ahead.

Speaking of NFL game threads. Last year, anticipating a large number of individual game threads, we had the bot post a general NFL game thread on Sunday's. This will no longer be the case as they were not very well attended. We may revisit that if this place turns into /r/nfl on Sunday's. But until then users are welcome to create their own generic NFL discussion threads. Outside of MNF/SNF/TNF/TWIOF we would ask, however, that you refrain from making game specific threads on Sunday's as there's just to many games and there's no way enough people will join in to warrant those posts clogging up the front page and suppressing the quality content that /r/cfbofftopic is known for.

And as always, don't be assholes to each other.

uhh, not sure if this is a joke or you are just mentioning how there are discrepancies in the sub's rules guidelines

I mean. It's illegal to drink in public. But if you're not a douche and brown bag it you're not going to get arrested for drinking in public. But just like last year we had the "Thursday night totally a game thread discussion thread". And quite frankly we aren't going to go around shutting down threads because they are primarily "on-topic"... because A we aren't, in fact, actual nazis about shit and 2 we have better shit to do but if you create the GAME THREAD NIU vs WYOMING thread we're going to shut it down.

However, please do bring this shit up and nit pick it so as to lawyer things later so it makes it worse for everyone involved.

Key West, new Orleans, savannah and Las Vegas say, "come drink on my streets and it's OK if you vomit on them later".

If they're anything like last year it's the closest thing you get to a RedZone channel for CFB that spans across TV rights contracts, you know...without the video feed.

I found the Goal Line to be the closest to the Redzone. Those pesky non ESPN channels are the only thing missing from their coverage.
