CFB Risk Day 16 – WELCOME TO THUNDERDOME, WISCONSIN
Note: Today's recap is a joint effort along with East Coast Esq., whom we are all glad to hear is making a recovery. Well done, soldier.

Now then…
“You called down the thunder, well now you’ve got it.” – some guy
Wisconsin wanted war – so we gave them war. In a single night they lost nearly half of their land, most of it to Michigan but also to Iowa State, Nebraska and – oh look, Texas A&M… who would have guessed that A&M could also be a threat? Now we’re in position to threaten every single territory they still hold… you hear that Michigan rogues? Are you happy with your choices, Bucky? Still want to do this?
Interestingly enough, the current map kind of mirrors the habitat ranges of wolverines and badgers. Wolverines have a foothold in northern Canada, whereas badgers are further south. That’s cool and all, but wolverines are highly territorial, solitary creatures that need A LOT of space, and there are a lot of us in this game (Chart? CHART!).
Do you understand what I’m saying with this overdrawn metaphor? It’s simple: the Wisconsin Badgers need to go. We’re taking the North for Michigan.
Also, well f*cking done on getting our numbers up! We LOVE seeing that spike, AND we know we can do even better. Keep submitting your moves every day (that streak matters); keep entering which “order” you’re executing; and remember to recruit your friends!
Your friends may start as 1-stars, but with just a bit of development, they’ll be the next Ronnie Bell in no time.
Map Time? MAP TIME.
Oh, Caaaaaaanada!
Short summary of the fronts:
● Canada & Pacific Northwest = open season on Wisconsin.
● East Coast = Michigan up north & osu down south. Georgia Tech keeps poking around.
● Greater Midwest = osu has Ohio and we have most of the rest. Tennessee pushing up from the south.
● US Southeast = Mostly osu & Georgia Tech pushing back and forth. Bama as firewall for Texas A&M. Florida exists.
● The Rockies and West Coast = Texas A&M slowly gobbling up smaller teams. Nebraska now among them.
● US Southwest, Mexico, & Caribbean = AGGIE DEATH STAR nearing completion. Eventually somebody is going to find an exhaust port, right?
Happy hunting and GO BLUE!

Hey! My creation! Glad to see it make an appearance here. *thumbs up*
February 7th, 2023 at 2:32 PM ^
you must be new to these threads lol
February 7th, 2023 at 2:38 PM ^
I can't understand Wisconsin's game plan here, unless their only goal was to make sure that we don't win. The could've easily held the entirety of the corn belt and vanquished Iowa State, while Nebraska ventured West (which was a risk move that didn't pay off for them), instead they led a half effort assault on the largest army in the game. They complained about what a few rogues did to their territories; they saw what a focused attacked looks like and will continue to do so. They went from being in a good position to being one of the few teams still alive at the end to being a toss up to survive longer than Iowa State in a single roll.
February 7th, 2023 at 2:46 PM ^
Yeah it wasn't the greatest plan, but to be fair when you have 1000 players and 50% of them are rogue, it's not just "a few" rogues attacking them, from their perspective it looks like Michigan is an unreliable ally.
February 7th, 2023 at 3:34 PM ^
Wisconsin's game plan is the same as Staee's. Haters are going to hate.
February 7th, 2023 at 4:04 PM ^
Yeah a lot of the posts on the r/CollegeFootballRisk seem to be from Sparty or OSU fans saying how Michigan must be defeated at all costs
February 7th, 2023 at 3:12 PM ^
The Badgers are finished! You understand me!? I see a red sash, I kill the man wearing’ it. So run you cur. RUN!! Tell all the other curs the law is coming. You tell ‘em I’m comin! And hell’s comin’ with me you hear!?! HELL’S COMIN” WITH ME!!!
February 7th, 2023 at 4:18 PM ^
just trying to help out here....
February 7th, 2023 at 4:41 PM ^
Grab your rifle (or... smartphone) and sign-up!
February 7th, 2023 at 7:11 PM ^
We can do that...we don't even need a reason.
February 7th, 2023 at 8:33 PM ^
thank you Mr. Spakler
February 7th, 2023 at 3:21 PM ^
Maybe it's time for me to stop following Discord and go rogue. Every move I've made for the past 5 turns has either resulted in us losing the territory if defending, or not winning it if attacking. I'm getting a little paranoid. Do my pits stink? Do I have spinach stuck in my teeth? Are my clothes out of style? Am I driving the wrong car / living in the wrong neighborhood / sending my kids to the wrong schools? Do I need to hire a coach to teach defense? What?
February 7th, 2023 at 3:45 PM ^
Yes/No/No/Yes/Yes/No/Yes/If you have to ask...
February 7th, 2023 at 8:37 PM ^
Yeah, I don't always agree with the "leadership". We went from almost controlling 5 territories (would have been an unbelievable advantage) to barely hanging on to one . . .
Wisconsins' strategy of denying us region advantages has almost worked, and they may be aligned with OSU who hit us from the south.
But I usually post my moves and follow orders, and I hope we can ally or crush Wisky in the next 2 rounds.
February 7th, 2023 at 3:23 PM ^
I thought we were going for the Sealion Opening. I've been lost ever since.
February 7th, 2023 at 6:37 PM ^
+1 for Diplomacy reference.

"YOU HEAR THAT, HILLBILLY BUCKY? We about to get medieval on yo azz."
February 7th, 2023 at 3:47 PM ^
I'm def one of the rogues guys down in mexico messing with TAMU, next up southern texas lol.
February 7th, 2023 at 3:59 PM ^
Wouldn’t mind seeing some El Paso turn maize.
February 7th, 2023 at 6:38 PM ^
Rogue away! El Paso or bust.
February 7th, 2023 at 3:56 PM ^
I'm a three star "warrior".
February 7th, 2023 at 4:08 PM ^
Need moar Starz!
February 7th, 2023 at 4:15 PM ^
For you rogues I give the same advice as yesterday (smash Bucky) with 1 additional observation: we need one more territory (Annapolis) to own the Mid-Atlantic region outright and gain another strength multiplier. The current owner of Annapolis? (an)OSU! 'nuff said.
February 7th, 2023 at 4:44 PM ^
Annapolis is a great little town. Learned to sail there a lifetime ago. No, not the Naval Academy, the Annapolis Sailing School. Well, to be fair, the wind was lousy that week, so I did more drinking than sailing, and I've done a LOT more drinking than sailing since then. Maybe I should say I learned to drink there instead.
But, I digress. Tonight we take Annapolis and wipe the Badgers off the map. Buckeyes next. Go Blue.
February 7th, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
for you annapolis would be a 'small drinking village with a sailing problem'.

My anesthetist always recommends Meyer's Dark Rum & tonic, quarter lime.
February 7th, 2023 at 5:02 PM ^
It's about time we went after those rodents. Kill Wisconsin! Wisconsin must die!
February 8th, 2023 at 9:43 AM ^
Lets get those regions locked up
