Jesus Christ I have 14,500+ posts since joining in May 2013.

If you round down to that exact number and divide by (again a rounded number) the amount of days I’ve been here that’s 6.6 posts a day for the past 6 years.



I know you all think of me as a valued member of the rant

The SEC OT is the best OT

That every male poster over on the OT Lounge is 6'6 with 8% body fat.

As a rookie, I was surprised at how much nicer the social interaction is here on the OT, as opposed to The SEC Rant board. I felt welcome here right away, over there not so much.

Yeah that is more of a smack board. Although about half the people over there are good peeps.

It really is.

I would buy most of you miscreants a beer or 12 and have a blast hanging out with you all.

We are the calm oasis of get along. The SEC Rant is a Cat 2 Hurricane. The Politics board is a Cat 6 hurricane where sharks are flying through the air and you are being groped by an rogue Oompa Loompa.

OT - "I disagree, but i see your point"
Rant - "go frick yourself, 1980"

Cool and all 4 of our basketball fans
That goes well.


And on top of that most of us don’t like him anymore

Yeah, he's been kind of disappointing these last 2 seasons since the Final Four run. And his personality isn't very forgiving when things aren't going well.

Crazy how much Pearl and Martin's first 5 seasons at AU and USCe respectively mirrored each other, and our programs are crazy similar historically as well.
Difference is that after our Final Four Pearl is recruiting his arse off, and while this year we may end up on the bubble Bruce has us poised stay an elite program after that for as long as he's here. The class of 2020 looks like a top 5 class if we get everybody we think we are, and we're already trending with several 2021 5*s too.

Frank has never been a good recruiter
And guys keep leaving or getting kicked off the team

We got lucky to keep Sin and PJ in state

And Silva turned into something special

Our run was a flash in the pan, yours wasn’t similar at all to ours, because you won the SECT.

I don’t expect us to make the tourney this year.
And sadly, i don’t expect Ray to fire him

It's a shame y'all couldn't lock down the instate guys after them. Pearl is a great scout for underrated talent so he probably would have picked Ja Morant, and at the very least he would have given y'all a better chance to land Zion. So there's a good chance Pearl could've won y'all a Natty this year if he was there. But I honestly think he would've brought us home a Natty this year if Chuma Okeke hadn't got hurt against UNC

This board surprised me when I stumbled across it in 2015 or so. It was a pleasant change from the OT Lounge and Tiger Rant. It is much more active now. I'm not a major contributor, but read it often. It's like the Mayberry of Tigerdroppings.

I was also surprised to learn on the OTL that dick cancer is a thing.
