CFB Risk Day 18 - No One Likes Us, We Don't Care

• Before we get into this….join the damn discord - https://discord.gg/DRQyjp56kP (this is now a permanent link, so there should not be problems accessing it)
• Also, I will have the immense privilege of joining BeerBatteredAg on his Twitch channel for Friday night's roll. The interview will be tomorrow at 9:20 PM ET and we'll talk about Risk itself, Michigan's incredible recruiting success, and maybe a bit about RNG (read page 14 of the info guide)

tl;dr instruction: PAINT CANADA MAIZE.

When my Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2017, Center Jason Kelce led the parade in an adapted rendition of an English Football chant (to the tune of "Oh My Darling"):

"No One Likes Us, No One Likes Us, No One Likes Us, We Don't Care!

We're from Philly! F*cking Philly!

No One Likes Us, We Don't Care!"

That day, though, was HARD won. We lost our MVP frontrunning QB Carson Wentz to a knee injury in Week 14 and barely beat the Falcons in our first playoff gameMeanwhile, the Aggie DEATH STAR continues to grow with token resistance. Last night it took the rest of Arizona and Louisiana, and now occupies southern Illinois. Heck, they even have neighboring territories with ourselves, Wisconsin, and OSU. Does that mean our B1G rivals will turn their attention southward? I personally wouldn't bet on it..

From there, magic ensued. We pantsed the Vikings and then backup QB Nick Foles went super saiyan to beat Brady for the title.

------

Fast forwarding to the present, there will be no sneaking up as underdogs for us as Michigan. We have by far the most players and (unweighted) stars in the game. We are frontrunners.

Last night, though, was a setback. Wisconsin and OSU both won a few territories in the north, leaving us with precious few protected (uncontested) territories for tonight.

To quote Mr. Kelce, "No one likes us, we don't care."

But as with the Eagles, glory is within our grasp. Last night won't be the last setback we encounter, but we have the talent, commitment, and smarts to win despite the hate. To do so, though, WE NEED YOU. Keep playing every day, keep recruiting your friends, and please get on the Discord ASAP (https://discord.gg/DRQyjp56kP).

You are an important part of a massive push. Just look at the numbers below!

Charts? CHARTS!

That's YOU that is growing our raw margins....margins that we NEED with the bonuses that A&M is getting with their control of 3 (!!???) regions. We HAVE to keep it going because nobody is coming to our rescue. It's truly Michigan vs. The World.

"No one likes us, we don't care."

As of last night, here's the map we're facing. It's not as pretty as yesterday, but with your help, we'll turn this around.

Map? MAP.

 

CFB Risk Top 25 Team Standings (by Territories)

I'm just giving the Top 3, because #3 has more territories than the next 3 combined. Also, I'm annoyed.

1. Texas A&M (49)

2. Michigan (39)

Enter your rolls ASAP so that we can take back our rightful place at the top at 10:30 PM ET tonight.
