/r/CFB Comments on the video board during the 2024 Gasparilla Bowl
/r/CFB was the "Official Fan Voice of the Game" of the 2024 Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl between the Tulane Green Wave and Florida Gators! As part of that, three comments from the first half of the game were highlighted on the Raymond James Stadium video board during the 4th quarter.
Here is video of that display from both the press box and the field levels. (no audio)
Congratulations to /u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756, /u/xXBadger89Xx, and /u/Pizza_Jon!
All three have been awarded the r/CFB Promoter flair! (Credit to u/Allaboutfootball23 for this idea)
There were five of us on the ground in Tampa helping run their social, capturing the field-level activity, doing reporting, and handing out the money raised by users (more on that one in a later post), along with help from the rest of the r/CFB team in sorting through a lot of activity that just needed to get done.
Funny enough: As this was the first time either the bowl or r/CFB had done anything like this, the approach was conservative. We were asked to provide three comments for the video board; immediately afterward they realized they should've asked for six. But this was the first time we were doing something like this, so we started modestly. Next time!
Thanks to all who participated in the Game Thread and making r/CFB the biggest and best college football Community!
