Its been the same from the birth of the sec rant. The team boards did nothing to change it imo.

Right...what do you expect when you have 14 fan bases co-mingling? It's supposed to be fun...but the jackasses will be processed.

1. Arkansas gets a little good, and their fans feel the need to make ridiculous, arrogant threads.


I think that all depends on how far back in SEC Rant history you want to go. I highly doubt the Piggies are single handedly to blame for starting the fire.

I don't know how many Grumpy Cat lives you've had here but I'm going to bet you don't go back anywhere near far enough to know just what the genesis of the flame fest was.

I've been posting on college football groups since 1997. Flaming and trolling are as old as the Interwebz. But you'd be hard pressed to find a more fairly moderated site than this one. The admins here give us just enough rope and don't crack down nearly as hard as a lot of the oppressively overmanaged homerific sites do.

and this is why this place is awesome. It's natural for fans to talk trash, brag, poke fun, and give each other shite. It's part of locker rooms everywhere. It's ingrained in being a guy, and an outlet for exercising 2nd amendment rights. The internet just makes the trash talk quicker, faster, and anonymous so some of the things you wouldn't say to rival grad that lives 4 houses down, you'll say over and over and over again on here.

I think it's pretty fair here until a LSU player screws up in a major way (see TM7).

Lets be real.

Bama gumps started the shite fest.

Arky became major flamers.

Aggie has furthered what is going on.

On top of that, we have the Mississippi schools fans acting retarded.

It is what it is.

This site would not exist without LSU fans.

I am flummox when people bring LSU posters into this.

1. Arkansas gets a little good, and their fans feel the need to make ridiculous, arrogant threads.
2. Other teams respond and do the same
3. Posters begin attacking every other fanbases' threads
4. More intelligent posters enter threads, complain about how OP is terrible, it used to be better, ect. But the point is, they weren't adding quality contributions themselves. Just making it worse


5. Some of us seasoned posters just stay away and

Two weeks away from Garrison LSU game threads, posters flaming Alabama's Oline, A&M false sense superiority after a win over some local high school, and everyone on the edge of their seat waiting for that first moment during the season when the Tiger Rant enters meltdown mode.

Two weeks. Just wait two more weeks.
