Do you ever click on the Rant and wonder why?

I know the off seasons are always bad but holy shite I can't stand much outside of a few baseball threads. It's amazing the whole unfunny jimmies thing is still going on like two years after it hit this site. Just all around awfulness...the worst culprits are the AU/LSU/Bama fans. They have a bad mixture of taking themselves too seriously and 35+ year old dudes who can barely use the internet.

It's to be expected during the offseason

Pretty much since we got our own team boards.

I would guesstimate 80% of my posts are now on the team board of ours.

This applies even when it's not the offseason

This is the first year my baseball threads sink to the second page quickly.

The rant has grown in Bama, Auburn, Missouri, and Texas AM numbers this past year. Those fan bases care very little about baseball, which leads to terrible threads about different subjects.

Constantly. I rarely post there, but will read select threads when I have nothing better to do.

Right now, this post has me wondering if life is worth living.

"This is really whatcha do about nothing"

Someone wrote that. Then clicked Submit. On purpose.

Same here, the Grind Rant is so much more enjoyable than the SECR.

You're definitely right on the baseball threads...It's so frustrating to see those threads sink on Fri/Sat/Sun for shite threads like "Are your jimmies rustled at AU's Receivers", "Are we finally SEC Yet", etc.

Personally I just post on our board. Do like to rag on Tiger nick because he starts dumb threads on the rant.

Rustled jimmies was funny years ago...it was beaten in the ground back in fall 2012. I don't even know how to describe it now.

Painful. That's how I would describe it. Some of the threads are just painful to read.

it's funny when someones jimmies are genuinely rustled IMO

or substitute 'bothered' for jimmies rustled if that makes you feel better. jimmies rustled is the internets way of saying the same thing

Honestly the OTB has been worse lately. Which is impressive. God is fake.

I'm female and aware of my limitations when talking about sports (I just cheered for them), but it's bad. I like our boards and learn from them though.

I don't ever try to claim I'm knowledgeable.
