Hating on the $EC - Mostly Alabama (and a little Georgia too)

[Whitley]

These things matter in a thread with my name in it. I have fans and a reputation.

You have fans that can read?

Bama graduation requirements include Hooked-On-Phonics. This should make osu proud as imitation is the highest form of flattery.

[Mike]

LOL.

Not too many of the B1G folks to be honest. For them I act out my posts with interpretive dance. For the OSU folks I make a series of clicks and whistles.

Look, it was a M guy who penned the thread title and all the grammatical mistakes. Decorum prohibits me from mentioning his name (Jeff).

Ahh, the illiterate U.P. hilljack ex-pat drunk on Moosehead returneth. )

We try to keep it civil here. That approach tends to produce better dialogue. Most of us posting on this site don't post or engage in repartee involving personal attacks. Want to talk sass about M, fine. About other posters and on a personal level, not so fine.

I'd add that there's an occasional post that can be read as a personal attack that gets by. The world is not a perfect place. OTH, posts that are overtly stupid, wrong, misleading and not fact or evidence based deserve to be called out.

Like we've told others here who like to pile on, gentlemen engaging in a duel serve themselves and this forum best if the round whizzes by your opponent's ear instead of hitting him square between the eyes.

[Wild Hoss]

Heh. I collect coins, too! Mostly American Civil War era or before, though.

This explains much.

Hmmm...

Well, that was (to me) obviously a mild jest of a post. Not sure which part earned such a warning: hilljack? Moosehead? U.P.? Illiterate? (which is obviously a silly taunt because this is a message board you read) and, regardless, it certainly didn't carry the weight of say "dickhead" or other similar epithet. FWIW, a "hilljack" is a time-honored badge once only assigned to Tennessee fans but has become a playful taunt meaning the antithesis of urbane.

Nonetheless, feel free to mothball this thread.

It's your thread. It stays and has the potential to be a good one. You're welcome here. What you do with our recommendations is up to you.

I so wanted to Dixie flag that post...

I've seen nothing offensive in anything you've posted.

And if anyone should be offended by the term "hilljack", it would be me.

And, I'm not.

My father's entire family tree is from eastern Kentucky. Grandpa worked in the coal mines around Harlan County until after he was trapped in a cave-in, and managed to survive. He decided that his son, (my dad) wasn't going to work in the coal mines, and moved to Michigan to work in the auto factories.

I make fun of Kentucky folks all the time, because I have Kentucky bloodlines, and my dad's family poke fun at themselves all the time.

So, its all good. I see this as good natured banter, and all I've asked is that we keep things close to civil.

Proceed ...

The problem, as I see it, is twofold. First, unless you were draft eligible for WWII, you don't have firsthand knowledge of M as relevant CFB power. M fans are, more or less, akin to jackwagons touting Portugal's greatness on the back of Da Gama. Second, AlabamAlum is an asstard. His existence contradicts Darwin, Jebus, all basic laws of nature and the Constitution. Mixing the two is worse than mixing OP, hack, several cosmopolitans and the musical stylings of the Earth Wind and Fire.

Somebody doubled-down at the expresso machine this morning...

Espresso? No... That is Talent's usual response to me.
