I liked the idea of the SECr when it started because the Tiger Rant would become cluttered and it became crazy after Saban went to Alabama. However, I'm not sure it has fulfilled the original expectations of what Chicken wanted when he created it either.

Well, sorry you thought it was too time consuming and not worth the effort. Semo and I saw an opportunity to do something new and fun(for the people writing at least). At the very least, they dilute the number of flame/troll threads on tRant with something of substance.

It's something for the fans to read during the offseason. That's what the whole site is about after all. If you don't want to read them, then it's pretty easy to ignore.

As for the actually Power Rankings, it's still 2 votes per team and 2 guest votes from tRant. We have substitute voters in place in case someone misses, but those will only be used when necessary. And yes, Flesh had the same issues to deal with last year

No idea is ever going to meet every expectation or account for every change in tenor that ever comes along. Things tend to take on a life of their own. Don't like it? Don't participate.

But you're always moping around tryna diss this board or that, running down what others are doing, etc. And that's your prerogative, I guess.

You just come off as a sniveling bitch when you do that, though. If you have a better idea, bring it up to the site owners. If you don't get your way, start your own site and run it how you want.

why would I do that when the MSB board is the best on this site

The SECr is full of idiot for the most part anyway which is why I've learned to avoid it after years of being one of the most active people on it.

I have Flesh's records from the previous football season, so no that was not always the case. The Team Board Admins aren't always available either, so I implemented a system so that we don't have to harass the Admins for a few extra votes

It is ok, I wish the same for you.... I mean not everyone can be a brown noser like yourself, hard up hitting on girls on the internet and taking their lies as facts..... I mean only a desperate man would do that anyway but everyone is different I guess.

It depended on their given team poster/situation. For instance, we were looking at a situation where one of our guys would've potentially not been voting this year. I had no problem asking one of the other UK folks to fill in instead of doing it myself. I don't see why that's an issue.

The two posters we put up for voters last season were the same two that voted for UK all season.

I need help, I mean why not take a fabricated tale and run with it as fact, getting yourself banned in the process because you say you have evidence and never producing.... Oh wait because it was bullshite right?


I know, you seemingly think you are some kind of "badass" which is hilarious in it's own right but still. Go about your day and your bullshite, it amuses me.
