  • Rooting for a conference is gay.

    When the playoffs started last year, all I cared about was the Steelers, Ravens and Bungles losing.

    I don't want my rivals to have more ammunition to throw shit in my face.

    Ohio St. hates Michigan. That's the way it should be.

    I don't know what is going on in the SEC, but if LSU loses to Alabama and then Alabama beats Ohio St. (Yeah, right) do they count that as some sort of reacharound?

    Let's remember ... these are the same folks that were the last ones to embrace civil rights, some of these teams were still integrating in the 70's. Not the smartest of folk.

    I grew up rooting for GDI's ... Pitt , Penn St. and Notre Dame ... and I remember conference play as bitter battles to get into the right bowl game ... OSU/Michigan, Oklahoma/Nebraska, USC/UCLA ... hated each other, and wished the other nothing but ill will if they advanced.

    This thing where SEC teams root for other SEC teams when they are eliminated is homosexual in nature. The South loves the South. But they also love NASCAR and fake wrestling ...they are fucking idiots. And if you are a Texas A&M fan ... and you grew up rooting for the Southwest Conference or the Big 12, and now you "root" for the SEC ... not only are you gay, but you are a whore. A manwhore that prefers the company of men. That's who you are.

  • Well, as I said, most in other conferences don't root for their conference, and that includes A&M fans when we were in the Big 12 and SWC. Not gonna waste my time dissecting the rest of the pukestain of poppycock you call a post. The fact that you would invoke civil rights or the Civil War in a football discussion, THAT's what's gay here. I already said I like Ohio State, just enjoy your crystal ball and move along. I'm just here to take on the idiocy that is Woody logic.

  • Zombo's closeminded view sure sounds like someone from the south to me.

    I'm sorry that your civil rights record embarrasses you, but you still haven't explained why as an SEC member you DO root for your conference while other conferences don't. I'm just curious why you do that.

    I'm closeminded because I think rooting for your conference after you are eliminated is gay?

    And you are relating that to Southerners, because you think all southerners are closeminded?

    So you think I'm closeminded for making fun of a bunch of people that you think are closeminded ... but I'm sure you are openminded about thinking I'm closeminded, right?

    Very judgmental of you, Timmy. I'm thinking there was a lack of hugs in your family.

    I'd answer your question, but I know you're just trolling. Not worth the keystrokes.

    Plenty of hugs. Also plenty of logical discussion, and very few homophobic quips..

    So ... you can't answer a direct question of why you root for your conference when other conferences don't?

    And I have been on this site, The Browns Board, for 18 years discussing the Browns, but now I am "trolling" a guy with an avatar of Texas A&M who is on the Browns Board telling me that his college conference is the best because it roots for itself?

    Yes, I am a troll. A Big Time troll ... for just asking you to clarify your stance on college football conferences here on this Cleveland Browns forum.

    I apologize for being out of place.

    Oh, you are upset because I used the word "gay'.

    Yet, you feel the entire South is closeminded.

    You apparently have it all figured out ... if only the rest of us could be so enlightened.

  • I can answer it. I'm choosing not to. Just like 23 didn't answer Tim's questions the other day when the former determined the latter was trying to bait him, as you are. That your opinion is that I just exist here to troll this board as an A&M fan is completely unfounded and just another lame ad hominem attack.

    And you don't know anything about me. If my intentions are what you say, wouldn't I have joined the board a year ago? I just joined in February. Always been a Browns fan. My father went to Mentor High School. Both parents went to Lake Erie College. I'm sure you will have some pathetic comeback like "so your dad must be a fag since he went to an all girls school!" Super clever bro. We're all very impressed. And ftr my avatar on the A&M boards is a Browns logo. Not meant to troll.

    LOL, I'm not trying to bait you. I want to know why you think that makes it the best. I'm not a Big Ten guy waiting to shove some kind of superiority in your face. I just want to know why ... you don't have to tell me ... but that's weird.

    That your opinion is that I just exist here to troll this board as an A&M fan is completely unfounded and just another lame ad hominem attack.

    I never said that was my opinion. How is it an attack if I never said it? Are you just the most defensive person in the world? Or does my reputation precede me?

    And you don't know anything about me. If my intentions are what you say, wouldn't I have joined the board a year ago? I just joined in February. Always been a Browns fan.

    This is hilarious. I never stated what your intentions were. So you are making up my intention, and then making up a joke i might say, and then responding to the joke I might say that you made up about my intention that I never stated.

    I think this is a first. But I'll give you a B- on the joke because I would never say "fag", that is offensive, you homo, and I don't know anything about Lake Erie college. But if it is an all girls school and your dad went there, he's brilliant.

    Oh .. and I know when you joined and why. Because I am the administrator. I'm the guy you sent the note to explaining your Browns history and Cleveland connection .. and I'm the guy who approved you.

    I just wanted to fucking know, from your perspective, why the fact that the SEC roots for itself is a reason onto itself of why it is the best conference. Was generally curious. But I probably got off on the wrong foot by saying rooting for a conference is gay. Like your dad.

  • Haha wow. You are adorable.

    A. You still haven't cited a single CONFERENCE rule that has been allowed to be broken without retribution. Either do so or concede you lied in this thread to advance your cause, in which case readers would be justified in doubting the rest of your claims as well.

    B. The fact you think UGA and UF haven't paid players in the eras of either of those coaches is laughable. It's like a girl from LSU that told me on a date once, "Les wouldn't cheat." I laughed out loud. Also, what have those coaches won? Not a thing (as far as conference or national championships).

    C. Outside of your first three items (which I think the NCAA should enforce better in legitimate cases, as I've said in this thread), your case is terrible. "Never leaving the south for a game," really?

    A.Let's make things clear.....a lot of the SEC teams look so good because of the cupcake non-conference schedules.

    Also....the SEC was far from the best conference this past year despite some teams having gawdy early season records (see A Above). Their record in bowl games wasn't so hot. And, in this last draft, the Pac12 had more higher players drafted than the SEC.....because apparently it had more talent

    What Zombo really is hinting at, and what guys like ballpeen have confirmed is that this "rooting for the SEC" phenomena is that somehow people in the south think that because they may have good football teams that it somehow makes up for losing the Civil War.....honest to fucking god. They think that "Dixie will rise again" if they win a football game.

    Of course what a lot of those people don't get is that it is the great great great grandsons of those slaves they fought so hard to keep that are winning them those football games. And it is these same g-g-g-sons that they wanted to deny rights to up until at least the 80s (and even some today). So, yes, the South has risen again.....the sons of the slaves of the south that is.

    Well, if you won't answer him....answer it for me.....because I truly do not understand it. As noted, a TAMU fan rooting for Ark/Ala/GA/Fla. is like a Browns fan rooting for the Steelers or Ravens to me. In other words....anathema to my soul. I mean, yes, it does seem incestuous....and I would like to know why YOU do it. (assuming that is is not just "Dixie pride bullshit")

  • Football was just equated to the Civil War.

    Only at the Browns board.

  • Everybody is different. I don't care what teams someone likes or not. I chose the Browns. The rest of the AFC North I hate and could care less about them. But thats me.

  • naked and afraid in texas.

  • In college Ohio State all the way for me. I started pulling for other Big 10 teams to win out of conference games though as people will tear down the Big 10 as being a weak conference when other Big 10 teams lose to non conference teams and that hurts the conference the Buckeyes play in.

    The exception was Michigan losing to Appalachian State. I really enjoyed that one.

  • College teams have to do more than just win, they have to win against good teams. Every year there is a team with one loss or fewer that played a shit schedule so they're stuck on the outside looking in. If your conference is viewed as garbage good luck making the playoff.

    The NFL is a simple numbers game, no posturing or politics.
