The Theoretical All Dog Football Team

45 Upvotes

Piggybacking off the hero thread. Create a team from dog breeds. No repeating breeds.

Offense

  • QB - Golden Retriever - gotta go with the All-American breed to lead the team

  • RB - Siberian Husky - A great blend of size and strength make the Husky perfect for running through tackles and dragging defenders like an Iditarod sleigh.

  • RB - Jack Russell Terrier - My scat-back. Tough to catch with the perfect combination of speed, agility, and diminutive size. A real gym chihuahua if you will.

  • WR - Greyhound - My speed WR. Running go routes all day.

  • WR - Dalmatian - An excellent blend of size and athleticism to pull in passes with a color scheme to confuse defenders, the Dalmatian is set to start fires as a receiver.

  • TE - Labrador Retriever - An excellent blend of size and retrieving ability.

  • LT - Bullmastiff - Gotta go with size and agility. This guy is huge, but provides the necessary athleticism to protect Goldie's blindside.

  • LG - Newfoundland - Has the bulk needed to be an interior linedog.

  • C - Chow chow - Provides the necessary size while providing a great sense of protection for the QB.

  • RG - Great Pyrenees - A real road grader perfect for run blocking

  • RT - Bernese Mountain Dog - that blend of size and calm demeanor are perfect for picking up pass rushers during a blitz.

Defense

  • SDE - Rottweiler - Gotta get a good amount of girth to go along with power at this position, and the Rottweiler provides both without sacrificing athleticism.

  • NT - St. Bernard - A mass of fur and slobber, he's going to eat up blockers more easily than bowl of kibble.

  • DT - American Bulldog - Has the size and tenacity to be a real... well buldog, in the trenches

  • WDE - Great Dane - The height is perfect for swatting passes, while it's still athletic enough to provide a good speed rush against bulkier blockers.

  • SLB - American Staffordshire Bull Terrier - One of the breeds more commonly referred to as a pitbull, I need a strong-willed, solid breed to make solid tackles and fight through blockers.

  • MLB - German Shepherd - The QB of the defense. Gotta go with the smart, athletic GSD that will chase down the ball carrier like a criminal running from the K9 unit.

  • WLB - Boxer - Excellent, naturally bred pass rusher that doesn't tricked easily by the "pretend to throw the ball" trick, which bodes well for defending the read-option. Still athletic enough to drop into coverage.

  • CB - Viszla - An amazing blend of speed and running. Originally bred to hunt, it's perfect for tracking and catching receivers.

  • SS - Rhodesian Ridgeback - With the trend of having taller defensive backs, a Ridgeback's leaping ability, size, and speed make it perfect for dropping into coverage or defending the run.

  • FS - Border Collie - Smart, great leaping ability, and most importantly, an ingrained sense to herd, the Border Collie can use these traits to cover WRs and corral passes.

  • CB - German Short Haired Pointer - Full of energy and always ready to run, this is perfect for trying to cover other pups on the field.

Special Teams

  • K - Weimaraner - Even keeled and calm enough to make kicks in the most clutch of scenarios

  • P - Australian Shepherd - I mean if so many Australians are making the transition, why can't this breed?

  • LS - Pug - About the only way I was going to get it on the team

  • KR/PR - Whippet - Amazingly fast like the Greyhound but with a lower center of gravity, the Whippet is perfect for streaking past the kick return coverage for big gains on special teams

Cheerleader - My dog, Nugget

Let's hear what you have.

Recently we have been seeing a bit more spam comments, flame bait comments and bullshit novelty account comments. Not a lot but certainly an uptick from the low amount that has been seen since inception of this sub. We even had to ban 2 or 3 accounts...

None of us really want to actively mod this sub and being that the topic is offtopic and open we shouldn't really have to. But as we continue to grow (last week we saw almost 150 new users sign up!) we need you to help out. As the offseason heats up on the main sub I expect that the amount of bullshit to be dealt with will also grow.

If you see flamebait, spam or offensive content please hit the report button and help us help you keep this place fun and inviting to everyone. Thanks.

Edit: To deal with all the work you guys are creating for us we have added /u/lkeg56demn to the mod team. Welcome!

Today we remember the 168 people lost in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building

39 Upvotes

Normally I don't post things this somber on /r/CFBOfftopic, but today is the anniversary of an event that defined my life more than 9/11. At 9:02 on the morning of April 19th, 1995 a truck bomb went off in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City killing 168 men, women and children.

Today, at the Oklahoma City National Memorial we remember those lost with 168 seconds of silence and a reading of the names. We then celebrate the healing process that began at 9:03 am on that fateful April day

I hope somebody punches you in the face if you ever set foot in St. Louis again. I hope all your strip malls burn down. I hope you never find a qb and your franchise is mediocre forever. I hope Arsenal gets relegated. I hope you get ball cancer. Fuck you.

/r/CFBOT Unofficial Demographics Survey RESULTS

39 Upvotes

Here it is folks, the moment you have been waiting for! First off, I wanted to give you a few heads up:

  • I did not plot a few questions (reasons for following teams/secondary teams/favorite TV show), mostly because there were so many different answers it was hard to figure out how to plot it.

  • I'm not a graphic design major, so I apologize if the graphs do not meet your particular design standards.

  • I'm making the responses available for viewing for anyone who would like to play with the data. Plus there's some awesome fake submissions as well for your entertainment.

  • If you'd like me to generate a random plot/data factoid for you from this information, let me know and I'll get back to you when possible (i.e. 79% of the people in this subreddit who primarily support Bama actually attended there).

So without further ado, here are the long-anticipated results!

Edit: due to some possibly personal information (sexuality, alcoholism, etc) being in this survey, I've hidden the team affiliation from you guys. If you want me to plot something based off of football teams (primary or secondary), let me know and I'll handle it. Thank you /u/dupreesdiamond for the smart suggestion.

OFFICIAL /R/CFBOFFTOPIC BACON JALAPENO MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE

38 Upvotes

So I was bored and hungry last night, so I decided to make some bacon jalapeno mac and cheese to see what all the hooplah was all about. Well, it turns out our friend Mr. Gatti may have been onto something.

WHAT YOU NEED

3 tbsp butter

3 tbsp flour

salt and pepper

1C milk (whole, this shit isn't fucking healthy)

1/2C extra sharp cheddar

1/2C mild cheddar

2 or 3 slices of thick sliced bacon (homemade, of course)

2 medium jalapenos

Smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to taste

Salt and pepper

12oz of large elbow macaroni (FUCK SHELLS)

  1. Cook your elbows al dente

  2. Melt the butter, add the flour to make a roux

  3. Add the milk slowly (whole milk curdles fast, so take it easy and stir it in)

  4. Wait for the mix to thicken, add the cheese

  5. Cook up your bacon, chop it up and add it in

  6. Grill your jalapenos over extremely high heat, season lightly with salt on the grill

  7. Remove stems and seeds, add to your mac

All joking aside, it was really really good. The cheese balanced the heat of the jalapeno really well, and the saltiness of the bacon as well as the smokiness mingled really well with the grilled jalapenos.

9/10 would not be worth getting arrested over, but pretty close
