With all of this craziness going on in the world, football provides an outlet that brings everyone together regardless of race or background. It's good, fun competition. That's will all sports for that matter. Just remember how much sports mean to us and this country. Don't take it for granted because as soon as these kids step off the field, court, or whatever they're playing on, life gets crazy and tries to pin us all against each other in a much more serious way than a game of football.

SEC football is a way to connect to my extended family in Louisiana, or gives me a non-political topic to talk about with my 90 year old Ole Miss loving grandad.

Why are LSU fans consistently butt hurt over nothing?

It honestly means too much to 90% of posters here. Just the way it is. It used to ruin my weekend if Bama lost a football game. That's a lot messed up weekends during the Dubose and Shula years. I appreciate wins more now and I have learned to deal with the losses as well. In a way, Nick Saban has took a little of the fun out of it since we rarely lose. It's truly a championship or bust mentality now and I'm not sure that is a good thing.

It means a lot.
My favorite time of year: cold(er) weather
the holidays approaching, tailgating, sunny Saturday afternoons with the smell of BBQ and gumbo, the first four notes of Pregame by TGBFTL, the bedlam that is Death Valley (esp. at night), road trips, the wonderful sound of muffled crowd noise on the TV from the kitchen (a sound all the female members of my family hate for some reason :), Mike the Tiger,
Victory Hill, Saturday couch potato-ing ;)


Nice thread!

It is a game plain and simple. It used to be my life, as I got paid based on wins and losses the school I worked for earned.

My life revolves around what 18-22 year olds do on a field in the fall.

It's a chance for me to get together with my best friends from college for 4 months out of the year. It used to be life or death, but now its more about the fellowship. I still enjoy the victories and hate the losses, but nothing like it used to be.

Just reinforcing stereotypical generalizations on a LSU-run message board.

I grew up in a small town on the Central Texas coast which football was one of the ways to prove your manhood
Since then I have loved the game and followed the game
Love Texas High School Football and College Football not so much the NFL

Sports and music have probably been more positive for race relations than anything else in this country.
