What makes an off-season thread so very off-seasony?

- Pointless rankings (Like best stadium lights / concessions)
- It must trigger others in new and exciting ways
- Include pics
- Outlandish predictions
- Endless debate about pointless rankings or outlandish predictions
- Conference/division team change suggestions
- At least one Alabama fan's wet blanket response about how good they are

- Repeated surveys. ("Whats your second favorite team?" "What is your favorite stadium outside your own?")


What else do you fellow ranters say?

and the antithesis to this- - the d*ckriding of one side of the league because of the success of 1 team

We have gone full circle now as well.

It used to be SEC West teams bragging about their division and East teams would complain. It is currently on the other side atm.

I would add repeated surveys. Every year we get "Whats your second favorite team?" "What is your favorite stadium outside your own?"

Que? Most Aggies prefer 74-72 because it is relevant when talking about A&M/LSU...

Unrelenting discussion about who has the hardest/easiest schedule

OOC scheduling debates and calling teams soft or afraid to schedule hard OOC opponents

Dude. Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

Aggy mentions 29-0 just as much as 74-72.
Weird? Yes, we’ve covered that and the reason for it.
True?.......yep

Fruitless rock throwing/insults at rivals?

Or does that just come in responses?

Also, flexing right before start of season.
