The SEC Forum at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I saw a picture of Burny on fb just this past week, at a game.  I think maybe he was at the Northwestern game at the new stadium.  So apparently he's still alive. 

He went to the Tennessee-Texas game in Knoxville.  He and I stay in touch via text and the occasional phone call.  Sounds familiar...

It happens to the best of us.

But yeah all of the traffic cone orange in the background might have been a clue...

Bonfire must've been before my time.  I've heard people talk about him but I never saw him here.

There used to be 4 or 5 more LSU guys here regularly.  Two Ole Miss guys, three Woo Pigs, three more Gators, two more UGA dawgs, one Clanga guy (though he never did post much), 3-4 Vols, two Barners, and a Gamecock.  Those are just the ones off the top of my head who were regulars here when I joined.  

All are MIA except one UGA and one UF guy who passed.  

Not sure what happened to this place, but I recall when it first got merged with Scout, we picked up a ton of Bama guys, who weren't trolls, but might as well have been.  They were insufferable, and that's when I started noticing people dropping off.  I took frequent breaks myself....they just stunk the place up.  

Seems like you should at least get a warning for that.  

I kinda doubt anybody here monitors our internet activity, but if they ever say anything to me about it, I'll tell them they should give me more to do and then I wouldn't be goofing around on the internet.  

Put up Halloween decorations instead of watching the second half of the game.

Definitely made the right call.

Case McManning needs to ride some pine.  So does the rest of the team.  And the coach.

I wonder if Texas will be ranked after this week?  Maybe 18-22?  Next week is Ole Miss, who appears to be pretty good.  

Manning actively sucks.  And it would be fine if Sark just ran the ball 70% of the time, but he probably feels like he can't do that, because whining

I have a Manning conspiracy that's playing out in Austin.

The Manning family is arguably the most awarded family in football history. Super Bowls, MVPs, Super Bowl MVPs, Statistical Records, followed by steady presence across sports media. But one award that's always alluded the Manning family is the Heisman Trophy. All three - Father Archie and sons Peyton and Eli - finished in the top 3 of Heisman voting at least once during their time in college.

Arch Manning was carefully prepped and mentored to fix that. His high school games were broadcast on ESPN's minor channels starting his Sophomore year. Arch was then sent to one of the right schools for granting him a high profile. Meanwhile, Grandpa Archie and Uncles Peyton and Eli have enough sway and footing within ESPN to sound a tide of public support for Arch. I might even argue it's way Peyton and Eli remain at ESPN, and once Arch has come and gone from Texas, you'll see both reduce their role with ESPN. 

We're currently seeing a similar agenda play out with Nick Saban at ESPN. He knew that by muscling his way onto a spot at the College Gameday desk, it allowed him to police whatever negative views other ESPN personalities might hold against him while also being able to convince the network to produce a self-titled, self-serving 6-part docuseries dripping with unironic worship of almighty Saban.

And Sark is stuck in the middle of it all.
