I miss that so much
quote:

My Daddy was one of the biggest State fans around. He was a large, formidable man with an Engineering degree from Mississippi State. We would spend every Saturday in the Fall, in front of the TV, watching the Jackie Sherrill-led Bulldog squad demolish the SEC West in our matching Mississippi State football jerseys. My room was maroon and white, from the floor to the ceiling. Life was grand. Until when I was 12 years old. My parents got a divorce. My mother remarried quickly, which raised the suspicions of her faithfulness during the marriage. My new step-father was the complete opposite of my daddy. He was an alcoholic, a convicted felon, and worst of all, an Ole Miss fan. I remember coming home after school one day, finding my room re-painted red and blue, the Mississippi State memorabilia that was gifted to me from my Daddy, missing, gone, forever. A giant fathead of Eli Manning stuck on the ceiling above my bed, which was now covered by confederate flag bed sheets. After ripping my room's new decorations to shreds. I immediately ran to physically confront my step-father until I was intercepted by my mother. I angrily protested his actions as she sheepishly dismissed my tantrums by saying, "Maybe you can learn to become an Ole Miss fan." I wasn't going to take anymore, so I packed my remaining belongings and left to live with my Daddy in his truck. And we lived in his truck for four years until I lost him in a Ole Miss gang-related confrontation on the street corner one morning on the way to school.

Peak Petrino years at Arkansas were pretty awesome with all the “sailing” by “tFlagship.” Arky fans were actually pretty damn entertaining on here.

I still maintain that WT21 pretty much singlehandedly ruined the board in 2019 by posting some version of "Clemson lol" in literally every single thread no matter the topic for months on end, and the mods let him get away with it. We certainly deserved to be trolled after that abortion of a game, but he went about it in a way that ruined the experience for everyone. The level of discourse on here plummeted as a result and has never really recovered.

This part is utterly hilarious because that’s exactly what I wanted you and your kind to feel

Fwiw, I too feel as though I shifted the Rant dynamic that year. I am a literal game changer

tGrind week was elite. Once I got over losing the actual game I was able to appreciate its beauty.

Forgot about TD’s. He was a good poster.

I keep waiting for mercerbears to come back. He is the best poster on this site
