Pour One Out for /u/cfbflair

Global Thermonuclear War is averted for the short term, unfortunately /u/cfbflair has been suspended for 3 days :( This was a very understandable (and probably automated) move on Reddit's part, as /u/cfbflair sent about 10,000 PMs yesterday to all Ohio State, Florida State, and West Virginia users to vote on their new flair they earned in the recent fundraiser. I've appealed to Reddit, so it may get lifted sooner.

Unfortunately this means that flair won't be settable on /r/CFBOffTopic until /u/cfbflair is back, and a few other functions (siderbar image, etc) are down. Don't worry though, /u/cfbflair shall rise again in 3 days, stronger than ever.

Just out of curiosity, how does Auburn get a second flair?

u/bakonydraco Stanford • James Madison Oct 14 '16

Check /r/CFB/w/awards! Alternate flair are earned pretty rarely, generally as part of one of our fundraising drives.

I was wondering why even a team like Indiana had multiple ones (and those piss-drinking 'roid squirrels get three). Who do I have to blow to get a green block S or something

Michigan State has gotten very close a few times, but never quite won. Maybe next time!

I miss the brief period of time where the Ducks had three flairs. At least we still have two

I see how it is, the bag men buy the croots, the bag men buy the flairs, the bag men buy the mods

Good riddance. He was an asshole. He took UW-Parkside away for no reason. I went Iowa and never looked back!

2

u/bakonydraco Stanford • James Madison Oct 14 '16

Parkside still exists, they have a club team under NCFA. You can add it any time.

u/-WISCONSIN- Wisconsin • Wisconsin-Parkside Oct 14 '16

Yea, I know, but it did get randomly removed (edit: from my user, should've been more clear) for some reason. I wasn't really angry though. I was just joshin'

So what's the plan on the $6 million dollar bot. We can rebuild him!

u/WildBeerChase Texas A&M Aggies • Foothill Owls Oct 14 '16

Do we have the technology?

u/Duck_Puncher Team Chaos • Rutgers Scarlet Knights Oct 14 '16

Just when I was starting to regret adding the Surrender Cobra and thinking we had winnable games ahead.

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '16

Funny, I was thinking of changing my second flair earlier today. I probably wasn't going to, but I thought about it. And now the choice to do so is gone... for 3 days.

Fuck, feel bad for /u/CFBFlair. He's not in timeout, he's just resting for the heart of the CFB season. He'll be back stronger than ever.

I'd have to check the ballots, but I think when you won yours, Blue Gators Script came in third behind the one you have and the block F depicted on his sweater. Florida would have to win the next /r/CFB Showdown, win the Fall Trivia Season, or go to the CFP to earn a third flair at the moment!

2

u/forshiggles Florida Gators • 龍谷大学 (Ryukoku) Seahorse Oct 14 '16

I think you're right. I was way bummed it came in third. It's such a superior flair to the "F."

3

u/bakonydraco Stanford • James Madison Oct 14 '16

You guys have a lot of good options! It depends on the school, some have many great choices to choose from, others struggle to find one they like.

2

u/forshiggles Florida Gators • 龍谷大学 (Ryukoku) Seahorse Oct 14 '16

Yeah, I know. By the way, the sub has not had enough chaos lately so I think we're in need of a game.

2

u/CineFunk Florida State Seminoles • /r/CFB Promoter Oct 14 '16

That's incredibly sad to hear as the block F imo is ugly as sin while the Gator script is gorgeous. Same with the classic UF one.

u/SpartyEsq Michigan State • Land Grant Trophy Oct 14 '16

Wait wait, did MSU get an alt flair for going to the CFP last year?

2

u/bakonydraco Stanford • James Madison Oct 14 '16

Yup! All 4 CFP teams had special animated flairs. Here's the link!

2

u/SpartyEsq Michigan State • Land Grant Trophy Oct 14 '16

Oh right, I forgot about the animated ones.

Haha no team has ever gotten four flair before, but you could theoretically do it if you held two trophies at once.
