OGT Roll Call: @ Iowa State (1/24)

Well, Saturday sure was a tough Open Game Thread to work through. We were without our prime performer, our Sherron Collins, in Denver. And, in the hour prior to the game, all of SB Nation exploded, so our pregame discussion was essentially zero. So, yeah, that wasn't fun.

And still, we nearly got to 500. We fell short, but we surpassed 450, giving us some false sense of accomplishment. I mean, we all really did a great job, guys!

Seriously, though, thanks go to all who showed up. It was fun.

Here is the statistical information:

Roll Call: labbadabba, rockchalk, hunter s. royal, KCsince88, Danny Satan, Warden11, KennyGregoryRockThaCradle, 2.1 seconds left, RalphieD, Hansborough, giants9107

2.1 seconds left 18

RalphieD 1
Hansborough 1

Warden11, who has won the MVC (Most Valuable Commenter) award for two straight games, had to leave at halftime, and was thus eliminated from competition. This opened the door for KCsince88 to walk in, as he coasted to a twenty-five comment victory (remember, me and Denver don't count, since we're moderators) over labbadabba. Congrats, KC, for the MVC honors.

Also, special thanks goes to Ralphie D and Hansborough, who posted ridiculous advertising comments while pretending to be rooting for the Jayhawks. They deserve some sort of recognition. Thanks to everyone who showed up, though, seriously. All of you made it another fun OGT; hopefully we can have an even better one Wednesday night in another huge conference game.

I won't be there

its Volleyball night at the Y. Good times.

I am DVR’ing the game though so I’ll pad the numbers at the end…

Suggestion

To encourage quality, and not just quantity, of posts, can we add a “post of the game” feature to these Roll Calls?

-1

inflate the numbers!! We’re trying to get to 4000 here. : )

I like it...

I vote +1, we don’t want to sacrifice the quality of the discussion just to hit 4000, we need to be able to look back on day when we reach the mountaintop and say we did it with dignity and respect to all the OGT stands for.

Easy way to do it...

as we go through the game if there is a comment that stands out to you…give it a rec in the OGT at the end of the day the one with the most rec’s goes up as the comment of the night, perhaps we’ll keep a documentation going as well somehow but this will be a good starting point.

I'm still going to post in quantity. (quality will show up eventually, right)

You can’t steal second with your foot on first. That’s what all the t-shirts used to say.

Sounds great.

I love the idea, KGRTC, and the implementation, Denver.

So, yeah, if you want to “nominate” a comment, just rec it, and then me or Denver, whichever, can go in and sift through ’em all. Then, we can either have a poll where people vote, or just me or Denver arbitrarily decide. We can have runner-ups and everything.

I love the idea.
