BOL - The truth

Please quit posting quotes from BOL and acting like it's the current pulse of Bama Nation.
Fact 1: There isn't a general consensus on how ALL BAMA fans feel all the time, some of us are well informed and enjoy all aspects of college football, some live to hate Auburn, LSU etc, some don't care about anything except Alabama.
Fact 2: Those of us who truly enjoy football and discussing it don't like sites like BOL because they stand against negativity. If you are at all pessimistic or realistic you get accused of being a "gaytord" or a "corndog" by one of the hundreds of morons who know little about football in general.
Fact 3: There was a thread over there the other day about how some guy wasn't going to have to take off work for NSD because he was fired.... and about 8 other people responded "hell yeah me too". These are the people you choose to make fun of?
I don't post on BOL and never will, I go there for recruiting information and because I believe the mods do a respectable job. I think it's utterly pointless to read most of those threads because it's a discussion amongst people who agree on everything Bama. The Bama fans here on TD are here because we don't mind getting flamed. Want to have a better understanding of the SEC at large, and because the SEC rant appears to be the best forum around to speak about stuff with fans from other schools without having to constantly beat your head against a wall. You won't see discussions about what Chaz did and hear two sides to it you hadn't considered. "Fan" is short for "Fanatic" we all have our version of the truth shaded by our favorite team it's nice to come to a board where I know I won't get the "crimson version".
Please, we all know the average poster on BOL is mildly retarded, has a hard-on for Saban, and couldn't name a starter off of LSU's roster when Saban was there. I don't go scouring Louisiana mental institutions asking about "The Hat" and throwing them in your face.

I agree. If the outside world took the Rant as the pulse of all LSU fans, we'd be in some serious trouble.

i dont see whats so bad about making fun of someone that got fired
i dont think most take what is posted from there as the pulse of bama fans. IMO its for laughs and they have some pretty entertaining post from portions of your fanbase. the same could be said here for rantards. Anyone with sense knows they arent the voice for most LSU fans but what they say is better for laughs than what the normal fan would say.

Meh, let me rephrase.
I think a lot of the BOL stuff you guys post is hilarious. Just quit taking it seriously, we laugh at that stuff as much as you guys do.
The stuff about Gottfried is funny.

Eh, I hear what you are saying but the BOL is too deliciously funny to swear off entirely. Just try to enjoy it as we do. If you do, others will see that you are on the outside of stupid with us and looking in.
I've never visited the BOL myself but I do greatly enjoy the copy and pastes. I can't think of a single LSU site like the BOL. Many of the P&G homers on this site get called out pretty viciously.

you have got to be kidding me...... that POS site is comical; truly the pulse of the toothless nation !!!
The mods at BOL have been doing a solid job the past few years. I didn't follow them that much before Saban was hired but I do know that they were right 85-90% of the time the past few years on their predictions.
There are ALOT of biased homers posting on BOL but the mods usually have some good information.

Everyone does that on every message board. Go to the rant, find a stupid thread, post it up, and then have a beer and relax.
If you don't post up stuff like that, then the piranhas will starve.

Wrong.. You Piss Off. This site is for LSU fans to discuss our Tigers. The SEC Rant is here because almost every other Message boards suck, so they give us a place where we can come and bash other SEC schools. If you dont like it then go away.

No, you are wrong. Ice Cold made a topic a few months ago pretty much saying that this board is for SEC discussion and if you want to discuss pure LSU sports, go to the Tiger Rant.

the OT board on BOL is cool. fwiw. starting threads on the round table like "will they let me take my cat into a football game" and "saw player x at the gym and he looks like he's gained 3 pounds in the last two weeks" and sit back and see how many idiots take it seriously. It's very amusing.
