Today is declared r/CFB Ant Day.
Every year, on this day, we put rivalries aside.
Differences away.
We have become ants. We work for the colony. The queen. The survival.
We are ants.
Here in the Deep South we have Tiger Mosquitos that eat other mosquitos. They were released here to eat all the mosquitos that carry malaria. It worked, btw. Also, I have never seen a mosquito land on me that wasn't striped.
The day may come, when the courage of Ants fail; when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of boots and stomped on Ant hills, but it is not this day! This day we fight! I bid you stand, Ants of College Football!
I was really hoping it would be 49 states of Ants and then just like Alabama Rednecks or something like that. Really would have put this shitpost over the top.
I don’t really want to rain on OP’s parade. Dude got a lot of people to laugh.
But I also feel like we owe some credit to the originator…

r/nba has a fuckload of drama, and that one guy did the Harden strip club analysis. But there's so much dead horse beating and actual ridiculous player antics that it's hard to find the good original content. They simply care about what people like Kendrick Perkins and SAS say way too much despite their negative comments. Top comment: "I hate Stephen A. Smith his opinions are irrelevant." Post with Stephen A. Smith take: 9,572 upvotes. If you didn't actually give a shit about him, his takes wouldn't be posted and upvoted on your subreddit.
r/baseball is great because the media talking heads aren't as loud and people don't give them as much attention. I can't tell you the last time a Stephen A. Smith post was on r/baseball's front page. And he obviously doesn't talk about baseball as much as basketball, but he still does talk about baseball. Literally every day. Because he talks about everything. He's 8 hours of coverage on ESPN daily.
Do you say, “I root for the Buckeyes, or “I root for Buckeyes”? Do the fans say, “We love the Buckeyes,” or “We love Buckeyes”?
Look, why don’t you just come out with it? It’s officially “The Ohio The State The University The Buckeyes.” We all know that.
I had the reaction of "Wait, why am I seeing this post from a couple months ago in my feed?" before I realized it was a different sub. I don't see how OP didn't just straight up rip that other one off.
I was not familiar with that one but just found it from googling. There's was much better compared to my slop.
Something something monkeys and typewriters
I came into this about to make strong, passionate arguments for why you were completely wrong about some states, but left very satisfied and impressed. Well done
If you break it down into Saturdays, we have 10 left until Week 1. So that means we get the Week 0 games in 9 weeks. If you consider the life cycle of a typical ant according to google, just 1 generation to go
Does this mean Alabama is Ant-Man given that E. O. Wilson was born in Alabama, went to Alabama, and discovered the first colony of fire ants in the US in Alabama?
[And I for one welcome our new insert overlords ](https://frinkiac.com/meme/S05E15/1064412/m/QU5EIEksIEZPUiBPTkUsIFdFTENPTUUgCk9VUiBORVcgSU5TRUNUIE9WRVJMT1JEUy4=)
Fun fact: LSU’s Tigers are actually the Fighting Tigers, named after an especially ferocious Confederate civil war regiment.
Wait.
That makes it worse. Never mind we’ll be the ants.
UGA would be Fire Ants, not just Ants.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets is exactly the right mascot, as Georgia is full of the insect.
The Atlanta Thrashers hockey team was named after the brown thrasher, which is the Georgia state bird.
The Atlanta Braves minor league team in Gwinnett is called the Stripers after the largemouth bass, which is the state fish.
Cottonmouth and copperhead snakes are common in Georgia, and would be appropriate names for sports teams.
Whales, sharks, and sea turtles are all common animals found off Georgia's coast.
Having said all that, the most common animal you will regularly see in Georgia is: a squirrel.
Except UofI isn't Idaho's largest public university... it's Boise State by about 10,000+ students. Oh sure, they're still ants in this scenario, but ants with a better football team!
Carolina is ahead of the trend. For a couple years under Joe Morrison in the 80's, we called our defense the Fire Ants for the way they swarmed to the ball.
I am so tired of these bullshit season troll posts against Arkansas.
We are so obviously mosquitoes or ticks or whatever little demons who create this ungodly heat.
The Army Ants would be a notch scarier than the rest
Y’all like fire ants?
Fire ants will ruin you picnic. Crazy ants will ruin your electronics, much more painful.
General Sherman has entered the chat...
We are all ants on this day
I was so pissed for a second, but then anger turned to confusion, confusion to sadness, sadness to joy, and joy to belonging. It was a roller coaster.
Today is declared r/CFB Ant Day. Every year, on this day, we put rivalries aside. Differences away. We have become ants. We work for the colony. The queen. The survival. We are ants.
This is the day when we up the ante
Can we Ante Up instead?
Fuck ants from Ohio though.
The fact that "Ohio" has become a derogatory term for Gen A makes me so happy.
The kids are going to be alright.
Need to make "Keep Cincy Mid" stickers.
My issues with Cinci go well beyond their college and NFL teams. Their ML$ franchise is beyond hot garbage.
Ok, Ohio
We’ll import columns of man eating driver ants to march north……
No, you fool! We need ant-eating ants!
What have we DONE!!
Here in the Deep South we have Tiger Mosquitos that eat other mosquitos. They were released here to eat all the mosquitos that carry malaria. It worked, btw. Also, I have never seen a mosquito land on me that wasn't striped.
So many……gawd damn ants.
Honey, turns out I’m…. ANTMAN!
Oh, don’t worry, she knows

The day may come, when the courage of Ants fail; when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of boots and stomped on Ant hills, but it is not this day! This day we fight! I bid you stand, Ants of College Football!

Speak for yourself.
I am all ants on this day.
I’m here for the Ken M of it all.
Quoting Ken M is the fool's fig leaf.
From the dumpy potato to the succulent French fry, nothing satisfies hunger quite like food.
Pastor called me an ant. He was wrong. I am an uncle.
The only appropriate response is [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4jWAwUb63c)
Hall Ants!
We go marching
Is this day not blessed?
It's ants all the way down
Speak for yourself
[ANTS!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpPx7E27Bc8)
Infantino would be proud
What is this….*a sub for ants?!*
Needs to be at least 3x bigger Or wait, no, we are ants, so it's fine
How do you expect the children to play football if they can't even fit in the stadium??
Do you want ants, Lana?
Because that's how you get ants!
Danger zone!
Ahh the ants are *in* the university.
[удалено]
We have hit peak offseason. It’s time to plan for the first game of the season now.
we're so close yet so far away
I'm here for it
I'm most amused that while every other school has their formal full name, you're just Virginia Tech
Can’t blame OP for not wanting to write out the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
This is as relevant as we're gonna be this offseason, I'll take it
What is a Hokie? An Ant, Apparently
Wait...it was all ants this whole time?
🔫 Always has been
🔫🐜 not today buddy
🔫🐜🚨🚓 FREEZE
The real ants are the friends we made along the way.

Was gonna say, I swear I've seen this joke before. Sure enough, 2.5 years ago I upvoted that.
Glad OP posted here though because I don't post on r/baseball so I would've never seen the joke 
I think our OP really nailed the sell for mobile users since you don't see the new mascot choices until you swipe the table over lol
r/baseball is consistently the funniest and most creative sports sub

Wouldn’t Ohio State be “The” Ants?
THE™
We are "THE Ohio state" not "OSU THE Buckeyes"
Do you say, “I root for the Buckeyes, or “I root for Buckeyes”? Do the fans say, “We love the Buckeyes,” or “We love Buckeyes”? Look, why don’t you just come out with it? It’s officially “The Ohio The State The University The Buckeyes.” We all know that.
It’s still in the courts. When it’s official, we’ll use it.
It’s like the SpongeBob episode in Rock Bottom where they blow a raspberry between words
What do we do about the UC Irvine Anteaters?
PANIC!
UCI dynasty incoming.
UC Irvine chomping at the bit to restart their football team
They're gonna look like Jabba the Hut by the end of their run to a title.
I came for the shit^post
I'm flattered ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Is this not just copying that post from /r/baseball?
I had the reaction of "Wait, why am I seeing this post from a couple months ago in my feed?" before I realized it was a different sub. I don't see how OP didn't just straight up rip that other one off.
that post is from 2 years ago
Time flies when you're having fun.
Time ants when you're having fun*
Yeah, was kind of excited at first, then realized it’s just a blatant ripoff of an extremely popular post.
Maybe it'll be different if someone tries it for basketball teams!
DIBS! I CALL DIBS ON THE KARMA....I MEAN BASKTBALL ANT MASCOT POST
I was not familiar with that one but just found it from googling. There's was much better compared to my slop. Something something monkeys and typewriters
Why bother pretending There’s no need
Aight fair enough
He just stole the post lmao. There was no mistake about it.
🤷♂️ Nothing we can do about it now. I'm no cop.
Time for the Federal Bureau of Reposts to take over the case
Big day for UC Irvine
Bravo.
You are all prey to us now. Bow to your Horned Frog overlords.
We thought you was a toad
DO. NOT. SEEK. THA. TREASURE.
I, for one welcome, our new insect overlords. #HAILANTS
Before opening this my brain was like "this would just all be ants", and then bam. Ants.
Better than me, my mammalian-bias has me think “There’s gonna be a lot of Deer teams” then I opened it and said “oh deer”
I sent the link to my wife. Before opening it she goes "Is it just all ants". Apparently my wife and I shop for our trivia in the same place.
I was thinking it'd be mice, but yeah, insects.
I came into this about to make strong, passionate arguments for why you were completely wrong about some states, but left very satisfied and impressed. Well done
Now THIS is how you shitpost
Boulder Ants actually sounds kinda sweet
Buffalo Ants are potentially tasty
But you can only dip them in bleu cheese, none of that ranch bullshit. And don't even get me started on boneless ants! Wait...
The season is starting soon, right guys? Right? Please...
It c'ANT come soon enough.
If you break it down into Saturdays, we have 10 left until Week 1. So that means we get the Week 0 games in 9 weeks. If you consider the life cycle of a typical ant according to google, just 1 generation to go
The shitpost we deserve.
What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?
I for one welcome our new insect overlords!
Utah should be Utah Valley University.
The CFB World will live in fear of UC Irvine
🐜
I’m here for the ant party 🐜🦟🐜🦟🐜🦟
IU isn’t the largest state school in Indiana.
This is the greatest shitpost I’ve ever seen on this sub

Michigan State University SpartAnts*
https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/s/gPr51xAtJw Baseball did it first!
Does this mean Alabama is Ant-Man given that E. O. Wilson was born in Alabama, went to Alabama, and discovered the first colony of fire ants in the US in Alabama?
Fucking glorious shitpost, OP.
A+ off season content, well done
I came here to post, "No, the real answer is ants." Well done.
[And I for one welcome our new insert overlords ](https://frinkiac.com/meme/S05E15/1064412/m/QU5EIEksIEZPUiBPTkUsIFdFTENPTUUgCk9VUiBORVcgSU5TRUNUIE9WRVJMT1JEUy4=)
I like off season shitpost, but this ant it.
I see what you did there
I, for one, welcome our new ant overlords.
The University of South Carolina-Sumter actually are the Fire Ants
A+ offseason post
There is no stopping the ants, they'll soon be here. And I for one, welcome our new insect overlords!
Hail Ants
Congrats Sparty. You’re now Anty.
Fun fact: LSU’s Tigers are actually the Fighting Tigers, named after an especially ferocious Confederate civil war regiment. Wait. That makes it worse. Never mind we’ll be the ants.
I’m u/theaykroyd and i support this shitpost
Almost as many Ants teams as Wildcats.
It's going to get real Antsy in here
10/10 shitpost. These are the offseason posts I look forward to.
haven't i seen the ant bit before somewhere
I don’t know what I expected
Still more creative than a wildcat
This made me feel better thank you lmao

Does anything change if you go by biomass? (I think Ants win that too, but I'm not 100% sure.)
If it was by biomass UCLA would change to UCLA LettuceC's mom ^(I'm so sorry)
you wasted a lot of time to say ANTS
Except UofI isn't Idaho's largest public university... it's Boise State by about 10,000+ students. Oh sure, they're still ants in this scenario, but ants with a better football team!
God tier off-season shit post!
This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read
I got all excited cause I thought “ours might not change”. I’ve been properly bamboozled!! 🤣🤣
Go, Ants!
I thought I was going to be all smart, and put in my comment of all teams being cats, but you beat me by a country mile with ants... lol.
I can’t tell if everyone knows this is a ripoff of another really popular post or if people think OP came up with this lol
Carolina is ahead of the trend. For a couple years under Joe Morrison in the 80's, we called our defense the Fire Ants for the way they swarmed to the ball.
I was hoping they'd all be ants.
Iowa has shitty ants!
Pretty sure South Dakota State is larger than University of South Dakota. Or at least it was when I was there.
This makes perfect sense.
"Now THIS is shitposting!" - Anakin Skywalker
You had me in the first half. I'm not gonna lie.
Ants All the Way Down
Georgia State is the largest university system in Georgia.
I am so tired of these bullshit season troll posts against Arkansas. We are so obviously mosquitoes or ticks or whatever little demons who create this ungodly heat.
Michigan is known for its state bird as being the most bountiful.... ..... The two foot wingspan mosquito.
I clicked expecting cows ngl
Will the Men’s water polo team be the “Boy Ants”?
What is this??? A center for ants????
And this is how I learned that ants are the most populous animal
Sorry, doesn't Utah need to be "Antzz"? (Yes, I know the state is going away from double Z, but I'm not letting them live it down)
I welcome our two arch rivals being The Ants and the ants.
A+ analysis you did there.
Shit make it apply to all the schools in the University system, just like the Penn State System.
Ohio State would change colors to Orange and White and be the Traffic Barrels
All right, shut down the off-season. OP just won it and it's all downhill from here until kickoff.
The Arizona State Fire Ants?
FYI Iowa State’s the largest school university in Iowa
Iowa State is bigger than the University of Iowa. I feel like this post was poorly researched
Well done Wisconsin. Go Ants!
Our ants are ents
If anybody has ever watched Rick & Morty, the ants thing isn't all that bad....
Our ants in Oregon and Washington are pretty weak. My toddler stepped on some ants at a playground in Texas, and had gnarly bug bites for 5 months.
Just trying to merge both UWs in the Big 10
How sure are we that Buffalo wouldn’t be the roaches due to NYC?
This should not be as funny as it is.

Hell yes
This is like a Russian Nesting Doll of Ants.
I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before
visitor from /r/all here, stopping by to say Bravo!
[Did someone say ants?](https://youtu.be/UpPx7E27Bc8?si=-oCLAkxFxIlZyA1F)
This is top tier off-season shit - bravo
Thank you for your service.
