As you can see, nobody even scored half the available points. Though there were some really good smart guesses. Essentially everyone got Oregon, but Miami and BYU did a lot of us dirty. Congrats to @WVbrU@lemmy.world for winning! I've sent messages to the the winners for them to claim their corresponding gift cards. Thanks to everyone who played or just hung out with us this year. I love our little corner of the internet here, we've got manageable numbers of gator and tide fans. In all seriousness though, I do think that this community punches well above its weight in terms of quality content to active user ratio, and I hope that we continue to slowly build up our presence here. To that end, I'd also like to present this post as an open forum on our mod team (specifically me). This is my first time modding for a community, and even though we're small I want to provide a good experience to our users. Hopefully one day we're big enough to warrant actual moderation and I can take a step back, but until then I'm all ears if anyone has suggestions on what we can do for our community. Good luck this afternoon to anyone playing, and I'll see y'all for whatever off season drama comes our way.
Congrats and looking forward to the game tonight!
