Y'all start a lot of threads about Texas


I always see this brought up but what is never explained is why you’re reading the site daily to see these threads in the first place.

I also have no problem with OOC posters coming to troll, but I will make fun of you for it because it’s weird.

An easier route would be an "All conference" board. Would minimize traffic and trolling on this rant because all the OOC posters would move.

I remember when this board was pretty solid with a witty troll or two on each page.

Why are certain posters that claim allegiance to non-SEC schools on an exclusively SEC forum?


1)One of my teams plays SEC teams relatively regularly.

2)SEC teams, and especially A&M, compete with Texas for recruits.

3)Trying to wean myself off of porn.

The Rant is an entertaining board. I also enjoy reading the politics board. Mostly, I just love football so I read multiple boards.

For every 1 thread started about texas on the rant, texas fans start 500 threads about big brother Aggie

This is an indisputable fact

I tried to go on Surly Horns to get Texas fans take on week 2, but apparently new posters cant start threads.

And because you're new, they automatically assume you're an Aggie in disguise sent to troll, and drop your "reputation" score until you're banned.

It's a shitty place.

Yes, Surly is a site built by arseholes for arseholes, but it's not as bad as you say. You have to say something exceedingly stupid to get crowd-sourced.

Many years from now, you'll shuffle off this mortal coil having never witnessed an aggy national title. That's another indisputable fact.

Oh noooo. I didnt say anything. I saw a dude post that LSU had a good chance to win and that Texas was in for a fight. No troll whatsoever.

They jumped all over the dude and called him an Aggy troll.

I didnt post one word on that site They are very very insecure about A&M.

You're not particularly interesting here.

Maybe they just didn't think you were all that fun.

You're just angry that I pointed out Georgia had to dip into its cash reserves (a big no-no) to help pay for facilities expansion. So much for all that "profit." P.S. -- You have a high school band. I was embarrassed for y'all in New Orleans.


Flaw in the argument: The author attempts to discredit the poster regarding unrelated material rather than offer a rebuttal to the argument itself.

Anyone else taking the LSAT soon?

Because the SEC is the center of the college football universe and they want to belong.

I'd need to see a screenshot of that post then, because no one on Surly disagrees that LSU has a good chance to win and that it will be a fight.

You're riding in for its defense so I'm assuming you know what I mean already.

However, we have a couple Texas posters here who have been cool.

This is my first encounter with you however.

I am very Surlyish in my approach. Against my better judgement, I will give you an upvote.
