2nd Qtr. thread will post with roughly 2 minutes left to play in the 1st Qtr. All game threads will remain open. In GAME THREADS, please follow these guidelines:

• Trutxfan alert: Folks can go ahead and post comments in the 1st Qtr. thread. If he posts, I’ll make it the featured comment so that it’s the top comment.
• No GIFs, no uploaded photos, no embeds of any kind, no links except for a link to the new thread.
• Text and emoji icons are permitted.
• Each quarter will have its own thread and will post when there’s roughly 2 minutes to play in a Quarter. Only in rare instances will a Part 2 be created if a Quarter is slow and comments are piling up
• Overtime situations will always have it’s own thread. Always.
• If you don’t migrate to the new thread, that’s on you. Boyce usually posts a link to the new thread, and others can as well.
