I always associate the beginning of football season with only positive emotions. I think about each forthcoming fall in the same way that old people think about the halcyon "good ole days."

Like those old folks, I too completely gloss over the cornucopia of horrible things associated football season as they do with the good ole days. shite posts by Arkansas fans are football season's institutional racism and segregation. It is the hideous, disgusting reality that we all live in and conveniently ignore. The Arkansas troll mentality is ubiquitous, smothering, and universally accepted.

As the leaves turn color and the weather cools down this autumn, I will charge once more headlong into the breach and, once again, the sheer stupidity tempered with frustrated impotence of the Pig fan base will floor me. New depths of ignorance will be plumbed.

When I am old and football is made illegal, I will tell my grandchildren fondly about the spirited pageantry and passion of the SEC in my youth. It will not be until they get to college that they discover that grandpappy Tigerlaff omitted the fact that posts like OP's were once considered commonplace and even expected. I hope they will learn to forgive me and understand that I lived in a different time.
