Wow, the mods finally allow highlights. Maybe we can get them to allow images/gifs in the comment section too

[u/Moose4KU → u/NebraskaAvenue]

They threatened to ban me if I post more than 3 in a 24 hour period lol. I don't think they actually want highlights to work here

[u/jakedasnake1 → u/Moose4KU]

I was gaslit so hard by a mod many years ago when I asked why there werent highlight posts on this sub like r/nfl, I’d have to really dig for the comment but they said something like “no body wants it just use the megapost”

[u/Moose4KU → u/jakedasnake1]

Yeah they did a months-long survey where >60% of respondents said they wanted highlights, but then did nothing to accommodate them. No post flairs, requiring non-reddit hosting, limiting posts based on who posts them rather than video quality, etc.

If I hadn't messaged them to unban streamable, it'd probably all be ESPN video links with ads lol.

Sometimes I'm convinced they don't actually like watching football, they just like being in charge

[u/Different-Trainer-21 → u/Moose4KU]

They almost certainly don’t watch football. I’m sure the mods who don’t want highlights here are just random power mods who only care about running as many subs as they can and having as much power as they can.

Fun fact related to power mods: Ghislaine Maxwell was a power mod

[u/Undella_Town → u/Moose4KU]

Sometimes I'm convinced they don't actually like watching football, they just like being in charge

literally a majority of reddit mods lmao. /r/soccer straight up bans you if you're american.

[u/yung_forehead → u/Undella_Town]

Not to sound like some defender of reddit mods but your point about r/soccer just isn't true at all lol

[u/Undella_Town → u/yung_forehead]

the AC milan mod straight up was banning people for being american during the world cup lmao

[u/Skidda24 → u/Moose4KU]

Why don't we just have Sunday highlights? It would give the sub some momentum on NFL Sundays and people would be willing to check it out..

[u/Different-Trainer-21 → u/Skidda24]

Because the mods don’t actually want to allow highlights. They want to be able to try it for a bit, say “they barely got posted it didn’t work” and then re-ban them.

[u/luka274 → u/Moose4KU]

They definitely don't. I posted 62y TD yesterday, immediately deleted, apparently not significant enough.

[u/cooterdick → u/Moose4KU]

No, there’s been a long standing rule limiting users to 3 posts a day.

[u/tmt22459 → u/cooterdick]

Which does indicate they don't want highlights and is incredibly stupid

[u/pinoygator → u/tmt22459]

I unsubscribed from r/NFL and r/NBA because all the highlight posts became really annoying. This sub with unlimited highlight posts would be insufferable.

[u/killslayer → u/pinoygator]

Yeah I agree. The nfl sub was genuinely much better when you could go to the mega thread and see all the highlights from each game grouped together instead of having plays from 10 different games cluttering the feed at once

[u/fskier1 → u/pinoygator]

Yeah, with how many cfb games there are it could get messy. The game tonight has like 4 or 5 highlights, which I can give a pass cuz it’s the only game, but if every game gets 4/5 highlights then the sub will be a mess

[u/NurseOtaku → u/pinoygator]

I don't understand. What's the point of a CFB subreddit during the season? You have game threads and then a week of hits like:

"This player said upcoming opponent has been marked on their calendar since before the season."

And

"What team should I root for now that my team sucks?"

I don't care to see a tweet talking about "Wow! 235 rushing yards in the first half from the kid!" I want to actually see the highlights of it.

[u/pinoygator → u/NurseOtaku]

Highlights, almost by definition, have to be curated. Without limits we'll end up seeing hundreds of posts every Saturday.

Personally, I'd prefer if we used r/CFBHighlights and let posts that clear X,000 upvotes get auto-posted by a bot here.

[u/No_Butterscotch8726 → u/tmt22459]

No they don't want them taking over the whole subreddit.

[u/Moose4KU → u/No_Butterscotch8726]

As opposed to what? More snarky tweets and "which gas station food is your school" posts?

It's a college football subreddit. People who are subscribed like to watch college football

[u/orangewall1234 → u/Moose4KU]

Need more 5 comment FCS game day threads and 3* recruiting posts

[u/GatorBolt → u/cooterdick]

The Fingerbanger rule

[u/Moose4KU → u/cooterdick]

Highlights are totally different from opinion posts or tweets because (besides week 1) they almost exclusively happen in a 12 hour period once per week on Saturdays

[u/BenchRickyAguayo → u/Moose4KU]

I think it's probably even more important because the sub needn't be inundated with run of the mill TD plays

[u/Ok-Soil-5133 → u/cooterdick]

Which is a bizzare rule to begin with, I'm active in a bunch of sports subs and none of them have that rule besides this one

If they're all relevant posts who cares how many a day a certain user posts, if they're not relevant they'll remove them anyway and take action

[u/Seletara → u/Ok-Soil-5133]

blame pianofingerbanger. He basically spammed anti florida and Aggie links all day every day, and it did annoy the userbase after a time

[u/Ok-Soil-5133 → u/Seletara]

And instead of simply banning them they limited posts?💀

[u/Seletara → u/Ok-Soil-5133]

cause he technically had broken no rules yet. and honestly, I found the rule added a bit more diversity anyway.

[u/GolfingGator → u/Ok-Soil-5133]

No they actually made him a mod.

I’m not kidding.

[u/Trynaliveforjesus → u/Seletara]

that guy was funny tho

[u/Anatares2000 → u/Ok-Soil-5133]

As someone already said it, there's almost 60 CFB games a Saturday. Also, there are so many so many haters that used to post lowlights as well. Like unbearably lots of it

The NFL has like 16 games in a given Sunday

[u/Ok-Soil-5133 → u/Anatares2000]

That's a stretch, the amount of people who post highlights even in the big sports subs are a very small number and most will usually only be watching the marquee games and their team

[u/GuyOnTheLake → u/Ok-Soil-5133]

You're a ND fan, so you have no problem with people seeing ND highlighs

I'm a Wyoming fan and if I post Wyoming vs UNLV, people are gonna get mad at me for posting too much

[u/Anatares2000 → u/Ok-Soil-5133]

So you're okay with highlights because you're betting that only that fans of popular teams will post them?

So what's the point of posting highlights then? Let's just call this sub /r/SECandB1G if that's the only highlights I'll see.

[u/Ok-Soil-5133 → u/Anatares2000]

Never said that but the reality is you're never going to get highlights from 75% of the games played if not more considering this

Every sports sub has highlights

[u/Anatares2000 → u/Ok-Soil-5133]

Every sports sub has higlights because every sport sub (American ones at least) has a maximum of 32 teams.

I dont know what you're not understanding. The Power 4 conferences alone has 68 teams. On a given Saturday, this subs will be nothing but highlights of those teams.

[u/Ok-Soil-5133 → u/Anatares2000]

That's what the upvote system is for. Can give people what they want to see put to the top

If people don't want to see the G5 teams highlights they won't upvote it. Its like this in every sports sub. Also CBB sub has highlights and has WAY more games than CFB

[u/Legend13CNS → u/Moose4KU]

CFB is the only major sports sub that's usable on game days. I don't need to see every play that Alabama or Notre Dame had that went for more than 5 yds. The soccer sub is basically unusable on match days because of highlights if you're not a fan of the top 10 or so clubs in the world. That's the closest comparison to CFB since the other US pro sports have far fewer teams.

The average match day experience on that sub is 3000 highlights of every breath Barcelona, Munich, and Man City takes, a coach having a crash out, and someone from the Romanian second division hitting a bicycle kick. If you're a fan of the 12th place Premier League team you'd hardly know you had a match at all.

[u/ManBunH8er → u/NebraskaAvenue]

Don’t spoil a good thing

[u/GuyOnTheLake → u/NebraskaAvenue]

Look. I love the highlights but there's like 50 college football games in a given Saturday. 60 a week if you include games like MACtion

The NFL has 14 on a given Sunday (I'm not including Thursday or Monday). So even then, 16 games are played.

There's gotta be a better way than having a megathread that no one uses while not having this sub be just /r/cfbhighlights

[u/Anatares2000 → u/GuyOnTheLake]

Man, I would love to see some MACtion highlights

[u/NebraskaAvenue → u/Anatares2000]

Getting ready for a MAC invite?

[u/No-Owl-6246 → u/GuyOnTheLake]

And all the top posts are just going to be mediocre scoring plays from the big name programs.

[u/smoothtrip → u/NebraskaAvenue]

We do not need images and gifs in the comments. There is no need to be an unreadable forum from the 2000s

[u/NebraskaAvenue → u/smoothtrip]

There’s plenty of subs that allow it and it’s perfectly readable

[u/smoothtrip → u/NebraskaAvenue]

No they are not. It is an infinite chain of stupid images making it unreadable. Do we really need to go back 30 years where everyone has a stupid image as their signature?

[u/killslayer → u/smoothtrip]

It also turns the comment section from a place to discuss the post into just a series of gifs that add nothing

[u/The_Fluffy_Robot → u/killslayer]

but my gif is funny I swear bro just let me make this billable hours joke using My Cousin Vinny nobody's ever done that

[u/NebraskaAvenue → u/smoothtrip]

It’s not remotely the same thing

[u/Whywipe → u/NebraskaAvenue]

Don’t get too excited, mods lost their iPads too

[u/Economy-Captain-405 → u/NebraskaAvenue]

I know I seem to be the only one that wish they still didn’t.

[u/Baseball_fan812]

This kind of play concerns me in a couple weeks. Good, calm adjustment under pressure by Jennings to give someone an easy catch.

[u/PracticeSquadBaller → u/Baseball_fan812]

The most impressive part of Kevin’s game is that he knows exactly where the line of scrimmage is at all times. You see it here, and I believe he showed it in our game a few years ago too. It’s pretty uncanny.

But I think we certainly have more to be scared about in a couple of weeks than you guys do

[u/ItsWazeyWaynes]

Gonna be a long season, Noles.

[u/OkAdministration3585 → u/ItsWazeyWaynes]

Too soon to say, but also i agree with you

[u/Zolo49]

Wow, that play was lights out.

[u/Ares_TheGodOfWar9780]

Hell yeah

[u/Garfunkel_Oates]

How long do we give Norvell.

[u/MixonWitDaWrongCrowd → u/Garfunkel_Oates]

Half time

[u/Patrick2701 → u/Garfunkel_Oates]

Him and Luke fickell ass are in the burn unit

[u/BlockedbyJake420 → u/Patrick2701]

*bum unit

[u/AlbatrossInfinite370 → u/Garfunkel_Oates]

Probably after the Louisville loss

[u/Mental_Town_7337]

Jennings has been the QB at SMU since at least 2015

[u/Hawkins_v_McGee]

ACC after dark

[u/risebac]

Is Fl St gonna have a time issue here too?

[u/sarmsgoblinslayer → u/[deleted]]

great at improv and super athletic but lowk int machine

[u/reiycoins13 → u/[deleted]]

surely you jest?

[u/Seba4433 → u/[deleted]]

still iffy since that penn state game
