gollark: Okay, the problem is simple. You define `config` twice.
gollark: The *whole code*? It's relevant, there might be scope weirdness.
gollark: Can you post the full code?
gollark: Are you sure you spelt it right?
gollark: Odd, that should print `Version: 1.3.1`.

Clemson, ranked 17th, improved to 8-1-1, including 7-0 against teams in the ACC, but it is going nowhere. Because the Tigers are on probation, Maryland (7-3, 4-0) is the league champion, no matter what the Terrapins do in the season finale next week at North Carolina State.
