A) Toss a NSFW in there, please.
B) tFlagship is a nickname for the University of Arkansas posters on tRant. Around the height of tFlagship's days, late in the Bobby Petrino era, Arkansas fans took a liking to referring to themselves as "the flagship of the SEC" and "the beacon of the SEC." For whatever reason, the nickname stuck. See cheshire's post and memphisplaya's correspondence for further discussion.
C) tLandmass is the state of Mississippi. Before Hurricane Isaac made landfall near Cocodrie (I believe) in 2012, forecasting models had the storm making landfall on the Mississippi Coast. In an interview, a Weather Channel anchor famously stated that "the storm may make landfall on the landmass between Alabama and Louisiana," or New Orleans and Mobile, or something like that. Nevertheless, the nickname was born.

Landmass comes from a newscaster saying a hurricane was going to make landfall on the "Landmass between Mobile and New Orleans."
University of Arkansas is the flagship university of Arkansas

Was my historical background incorrect? I consider myself a tRant historian.

The flagship is a pretty cool thing to create on here. I'm afraid my biggest claim to fame is coming up with 23-17(10)

Between that and pondwaterjack's lip reading of "For you my Friend" those were some great LSU/Ark moments

Time frame is correct but most don't know how it actually started.
It was a glorious night when the phrase was first coined. It then took on a life of its own very quickly.

I started the "TRIGGERED" movement on the OT. Otherwise, I have some great, novel length trolls and that's about it.
