Welcome to another season of college football on GTPlanet! All the collegiate action had their Summer break. But now, it's time to lace up, pad up, and hit up the competition! There's only one game this week- a Division 2 showdown on Saturday night. In case you may be new to my threads, let me give you a little review.
It begins with a bold header, showcasing the city and a headline. The two teams playing will be shown on a line with an asterisk (*) in the layout of AwayTeam at HomeTeam or Team-A vs. Team-B. Nicknames (if I know them) will be placed in brackets {}. In the case of ranked teams, a #?? will be placed before the school's name. The final result has been easy to find with bolding the report. But this season, I'm going to underline the result. Then, in parentheses (), the score and winning team will be featured. A win by the Home team will be in CAPITAL LETTERS. The school name will be spelled out. So rather than (for example) a win by UCLA, it will appear as "University of California-Los Angeles." If a game goes into overtime, then I will note "OT." Multiple overtimes will go down as "#OT" depending upon however many overtimes were played. The "OT" namesake will go after the score.
This is a sample report I make for my posts:
Houston, Texas - Cougars and Owls Clash for Hometown Pride
* Rice {Owls} at Houston {Cougars}
Once again, it's time to settle the score between two schools seperated by less than five miles. Nothing like taking on a crosstown rival in a game like this. The Cougars are looking to finish this regular season on a high while taking their rivals from across town to the woodshed. The Rice Owls, however, can only play spoiler in taking on (and maybe taking down) the Cougars. City pride is on the line. Let's get it on. The Houston Cougars got their revenge after a great game between these two last year. (35-28; HOUSTON)
Now let's talk colors. Blue scores are either for extras or big wins. Red scores are for disappointing losses or announcements. Magenta is for upsets (determined by rankings). And finally, orange denotes blowout wins. The largest margin of victory will win "OWNAGE OF THE WEEK."
This season, I don't think I'm going to do "Biggest Win" and "Most Disappointing Loss." Instead, I'd like to get all of you to decide what you think is the biggest win and most disappointing loss. I'm doing this so that I can actually get some more involvement in my discussions.
So, uh... welcome to a new season!
