I know Landmass was used after Katrina

It was actually Hurricane Isaac. TWC referred to Mississippi as "the landmass between New Orleans and Mobile" and CNN said the storm would likely make landfall on the Louisiana/Alabama border.

Right. This message board vs real life. That's why Germans won't work.

It has been around since Animal House in the 80's but experienced a revival with the rise of message boards. In early context Germans referred to Pearl Harbor, now it refers to the moon.

"Germans" may be used on other boards but I haven't seen it used to the extent that it is on the Rant and they usually use the full Pearl Harbor line.

My point exactly. Nowhere else does "Germans" get used like it does here. On other message boards, it's commonly abbreviated as GBPH. You'd never see that on here.

Germans has been used on a TAMU board I frequent for a loooooong time.

Guess where I think they stole it from?

Are we talking Texags here?

Yes

LSU declining

This is a good one. We're recruiting @ the same level (on average) for a decade now. We have literally cut every bit of the coaching staff that was a liability and replaced them with people who are much better. If you say LSU is declining to anyone who really knows college football they'd laugh in your face.

I'll add "saban's leaving"... It's fun to make those jabs on here but you'll sound like an idiot IRL.

Living in Mississippi, I don't find state fans to talk as much shite as they do on here. Ole miss fans are actually less delusional on here.

Is there anything like the SEC Rant on Texags? Because otherwise, I'd be inclined to doubt Texags' claim of precedence.

I myself had never been on that site until the rumors of TAMU joining the SEC came out. Which turned out to be premature. I was one of those who made an account to welcome you. My username might still be listed...same as here.

Just saying the chance of anyone lurking over there and picking up a slang term has got to be a lot lower than as opposed to here.

I say PIIHB at work all the time.













Hasn't gone over well.

Yea they're not exactly "minority friendly"
