Cards Against College Football
« on: July 15, 2020, 02:01:53 AM »
If you're familiar with 'Cards Against Humanity,' that helps...

College Football Against Humanity
The black cards would be situations, as they are in the regular CAH, but in football-ese.
The white cards would be all-time great players, coaches, announcers, mascots, etc.

In your hand of white cards, you might be holding a cheerleader pyramid, Bob Griese, Orlando Pace, Gale Sayers, and Bevo.

Examples:
Who you're giving the ball to on 4th and 1.
You'd have to pick from your hand and put it face down.  One of the other players gathers all the cards everyone chose from their hands and picks the winner.

Let's say you put down Sayers.  Now you draw a new white card and it's Bo Jackson.

Next black card:
You need to get the referee's attention to call timeout and ice the kicker! 
Now in your hand is a cheerleader pyramid, Bob Griese, Orlando Pace, Bevo, and Bo Jackson.
You play one card by lying it face down and see if yours is chose.  I'd probably go with the cheerleader pyramid.

I think college football fanatics like us would love it.  And there'd be no shortage of situations or players/coaches/etc to include.

You beat LSU in a slugfest last week and the team is pretty lethargic going into a game with Eastern Michigan.  Who is going to rile them up?

Your hand:
Marcus Mariota, Paul Bunyan's Ax, a cowbell, Sebastian the Ibis, Tommy Nobis, Eddie George, Cade McNown
(I can't remember if you get 5 or 7 cards, I think it's 7).

Okay, you play Tommy Nobis.

The player who's the judge has to choose from: Tommy Nobis, Lou Holtz, Herman Moore, Warren Sapp, and the Stanford Tree.

If they're someone who is very literal, they'd probably pick Holtz and whoever played his card wins that point.  But if the judge is silly or irreverent, they'd go with the tree, right?  You have to know your fellow players in order to choose the best card for them to pick. 

It's a fun game, and giving it a college football slant would be fun, too.

If the CAH people produced it themselves, they'd get crazy with it.

Among white cards, you'd probably find "Lou Holtz's drool towel" or "Herbstreit's hair gel", etc.

no one would stop Bevo on 4th and 1

I just made 50 card without a player, coach, or stadium.  College football is so rich in traditions and quirks, they could easily produce a full game for it.  

This group, sitting around a table drinking, playing this game, would LOVE it.

Yelling "Woo, Pig Sooie!"
Twelving
The Commander-in-Chief's Trophy
Beano Cook
The Floyd of Rosedale
A former walk-on becoming an All-American
The Kinnick Wave
Sparty and his fake muscles
Running through the T
Touchdown Jesus
Getting your first helmet sticker
A pink locker room
Getting into a conference realignment debate
Big Red, the Grimace-looking hill-topper thing
Giving the "Horns Down" hand sign
Sailgating
Doing it "Between the Hedges"
Having 2 Death Valleys
Cowbells
Debating if kickers are really football players or not
Finishing 2nd for the Heisman
The Sea of Red in Lincoln
Losing at home to an FCS team
The number of Oregon's uniform combinations
The Sooner Schooner tipping over
.
The possibilities really are endless!
