Fellow CFB lovers, why in the ever-loving-fuck, are we failing to have a legitimate CFB community? I loved r/CFB but without 3rd party apps I cannot contribute during a game or track comments.

That being said, how have we not coalesced into an instance that hates our rivals? Praises the beauty of the Disasterpiece that is El-assico and tier 2 Bowls, brings up trivial/non-relevant demeaning facts about our rivals?

Where are the petty, the salty, shit-talking masses, and we should be heard in all of our frivolous bullshit.

Get everyone here. Let's recreate the beautiful shotftorm that was r/CFB

There seems to be a bigger, more active community at cfb@fanaticus.social . There were a couple of game threads tonight with decent activity over there. Maybe the communities should merge?

We discussed it in this thread. Seems like the unspoken consensus was to merge over there as the mods are actually active so we can nurture a new cfb community

Most of the active community has migrated to !cfb@fanaticus.social as the mods are actually active over there. But with that said, fuck alabama and fuck florida, go big orange

  1. show me a community with 100+ active users and I'll sub
  2. fuck Tebow, fuck Florida
  3. hail Saban

Did I do it right?

  1. If by "active" you mean commenting several times a day, most days, then there isn't one. The venn diagram of "likes the idea of lemmy" and "likes to invest energy into following CFB" is small but has potential. You're here. Just sub to this one and to the fanaticus one, and be the change you want to see in the world. We are already growing our first crop of bad takes and game thread overreactions. We're all a bunch of internet weirdos and zealots to bail on Reddit in the first place, so I dare you to resist the temptation to add your two cents.

  2. Utah handled that, but fuck you very much. Go Gators! Go Frogs!

  3. Hateship ended with Saban. Kirby is my new hate now.

Lemmy is a bunch of nerds. What did you expect? Not a huge sorta community in general here.

[–] Apex_Fail@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I get that, however the crossover between nerds and sports nerds is too great to ignore
