It used to be fun, but with all the new trolls, it is completely unreadable.

I think I'm about done with this site. Anyone else feel the same?

You can't expect an adult conversation over there. You have to lower your expectations and just go over there to sling shite. It's sad, but that's just how it is.

I enjoy this board and posting on team boards that allow me. You get much better conversations as long as you are respectful

The Rant is a cesspool and always has been. I don't consider that worth visiting. However, this is the best free Bama board on the net, to my knowledge. I honestly forget The Rant even exists until someone complains about it here. What does The Rant have to do with this Bama board?

Yeah,I mostly just troll the LSU fans over there. I get a kick out of seeing them lose their minds over the smallest shite.

Their so hypocritical but dont realize it. Its great comedy.

Funny Part is they truly believe that its McShays fault and that he made all that Greedy is scared to tackle stuff up.

Everything they accuse other Schools/fanbases of doing...they do themselves. So damn funny.

The thread you started needs to be bumped in the morning. I think you can get 5 pages

It'll settle down in a week or two. It's been especially bad recently because Wade got set free, they stole aTm's AD and the football cheating rumors started. When that happens you have Tiger Rant idiots swarming quick and they ruin the quality of everything.

It's unreadable. I hardly ever post over there anymore. There's zero actual conversation. It's always been bad, but it's worse than ever these days.

This is true. Any pro LSU and/or slight negative Alabama news bit brings out untold numbers out from under their rocks. 1/9/12 was seriously a defining point in virtually every LSU fans' lives. As a Bama fan, just try to imagine the 2 Clemson losses, the kick 6 and the Camback combined all into one game and maybe you'll have an understanding of how LSU fans feel towards Alabama and 21-0

When I first started there was actual conversation and good trolls. Now people think it’s funny just to sling shite against the wall and see what sticks. I just don’t get it but I’m also not a retard so maybe that’s why.

I was seriously about to post the same thing. It used to be some legit discussions mixed with trolling and it all kind of worked. Now it's just one passive-aggressive troll after another, zero discussion, and just outright stupidity.

It's gonna kill the website, I'm afraid.

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

The Rant is actually worse than the Finebaum show. And that’s saying something.

Which is a shame, as it could be a really good board for actual SEC discussion. There are some boards that allow for some rivals ribbing but not all 24/7 trash talk.

Also, let's not act like it's all LSU people. The board has basically just become a bunch of posters crafting weird shite slinging images of their usernames where they have to perform to type everytime they post. And that core group of 15-20 posters,from different fanbases, drive the total collapse of that board from SEC talk and clever trolling to absolute nonstop idiocy and kindergarten level trolling.
