For those that missed the festivities, OTR passed its 100,000th comment yesterday! And in fitting OTR style, it was about football, but also about movies, but even more so about 3,000 year old history. Good on you, Warlock. You've done us proud.

I was really hoping the 100k post wasn't going to be a dick joke.

How, you might ask, has this very new and very niche collegiate football shitpost site done such a thing in less than 14 months, especially when other more frequented and more venerable sites struggle to come close to that metric?

It's because you're all chatty shites. Keep it going, yeah?

Be sure to stretch. Limber up, drink that water, take those naps. Eat snacks. We're just now heading into the season; this is no time to get an injury. There are 14+ weeks to go, not including bowls and playoffs. This thing's a fuckin' marathon, not a sprint. I want to see you all talking ball and posting gifs deep in December. I want you drinking IPAs at Labor Day and stouts at Thanksgiving. You don't get that kind of longevity by hitting pre-season too hard or over-exerting yourself in the non-conference games.

Be good to each other. Be good to yourselves. The high holy days approach.

Are you ready?
