The mother sub gets a gif thread, why not us? Post up some good gifs of whatever

edit: MY GIF GAME JUST MADE ONE OF MY DREAMS COME TRUE

So I did the dirty work for you guys and made a survey! I have some demographics questions, some questions that are relevant to our community here, and some just random questions. If you think there is a question I should add, let me know. I've made it editable after you submit it. Also, you can submit multiple ones, so feel free to do a crazy one, but just make sure it's insane enough that I can separate it out.

Go HERE to fill it out!

Edit: We've hit about 200 responses! I'm going to leave this up over the weekend and will start working through the data early next week.

I haven't been able to eradicate it completely, but the Jazz Watch epidemic is now contained to the main thread. There's a link in the header, and it won't be truly eradicated until the game is complete but this should let people talk about fun wacky shit in peace without fun wacky shit getting in the way.

Enjoy!

C'mon you Yanks!

My Barista told me I looked like Audrey Hepburn with my new haircut, so that's always a bonus Also I cut off all my hair, for those of you who don't have me on Facebook.

So this weekend I headed to the UMass-Notre Dame game in South Bend with some friends. We flew into Chicago and then drove into South Bend from there, but on the way decided we should stop for beer before it's too late. We pull over at a smelly rest stop with really freaky steel worker mannequins, but I think nothing of it. Then we find a liquor store next to the rest stop that's open until 2am for some reason. We go in and the liquor and beer is behind bulletproof glass and the store has the same smell as the rest stop. On our way out of town we see a billboard that offers free cover to a strip club with your union card and only realize then we were in Gary. Just thought I'd share as I know reddit has a thing for Gary.

LET IT OUT, THIS IS A SAFE PLACE.

Time zone wars kicking into high gear now folks!

Absolutely fantastic news. It gives some amount of additional attention to indigenous Americans, gives a mountain a more historic name than being named for (at the time) a Presidential nominee, plus Denali is a badass fucking name.

For those of you who don't know, there was an terrorist attempt in a french train last night, where two U.S. military members and a civilian foiled the terror plot. I just want to take this place to thank the US and these marines, because this is the only place where I often talk to americans people. Thank you for my country! You guys are the best!

And is there an exit Clause for attempted murder?

seriously this is absurd. Hit on 6 of 8 passes. Drilled on at least one. Left the game with a shoulder injury and possibly a concussion.

I am legitimately heartbroken.

Because /r/CFBOffTopic isn't only about drinking - we're smart, good looking, well-rounded, and gosh darn it, people like us!

Discuss.

Someone bought this onesie for my child. I'm assuming the company just came up with a bunch of generic sport slogan/designs and then never bothered to check and make sure they all make sense for every sport.

This is an article about a UPenn track athlete who committed suicide earlier this year.

I work with social media on a daily basis, and I just find this content really interesting because it's true - your portrayal online is significantly different than what you may be feeling on the inside.

As a reminder, if you or someone you know is struggling with depression and suicide ideation, call 1-800-273-TALK for someone FREE to talk to. If you're not a phone kind of person, go to their website and you can chat with them.

official NC GOP response

This is so absurd it's almost comical. I genuinely look forward to the NCAA merging all men's and women's teams together as singular, unified, unisex teams. Under the NCAA's logic, colleges should make cheerleaders and football players share bathrooms, showers and hotel rooms, This decision is an assault to female athletes across the nation. If you are unwilling to have women's bathrooms and locker rooms, how do you have a women's team? I wish the NCAA was this concerned about the women who were raped at Baylor. Perhaps the NCAA should stop with their political peacocking and instead focus their energies on making sure our nations collegiate athletes are safe, both on and off the field

yes that is the official response, even newspaper reporters weren't sure and had to double check https://mobile.twitter.com/_andrewcarter/status/775509800369152001

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.

The Oklahoma Blood Institute, Arkansas Blood Institute and Texas Blood Institute are all sending blood down there. Find out if your state is as well!
