Its a long time till kickoff
I wish I knew how to post a poll but while we are in PURGATORY (you know that period from the end of bowl season --- till the first football game.) or sure there are tiny respites like spring football, most certainly signing football day, and a few mentioned other sporting events. But lets be honest there is nothing that tops football. So after being watching this board there are a few TRIED and TRUE topics that will come up during this period.....lets call it the doldrums (very appropriate for this time of year).. In no particular order topics that come up.....Please add your own...
1) expansion......as to conference, who will raid whom
........................who will be left out
........................who is the most attractive of the wall flowers
......................., Who has the biggest market
.......................ETC
2)Preseason Polls and rankings a year before the season without spring ball or even signing day complete
3) a few comments about baseball, softball, basketball, track....sorry guys they are important....but as was evidenced in the last conference expansion and near BIG XII death.....Kansas had NO one interested in them.....(and I love other sports)
4) Liberty......put this in another column instead of expansion because I think there were over 900 posts involving them last year.....and just every time anyone says anything about anything Liberty comes up.....and for the record I like Liberty. They are good for a lot of things but for us mostly speculation, and counter speculation etc
5)Countdown threads till camp opens
6)Countdown threads till first football game of year
7)Countdown threads till your teams first football game
8) Past Future and current attendance threads for every game or family reunion South of the Mason Dixon Line
9) RE-caps and over analysis of every aspect of spring ball and color scrimmages from O to D to Special Teams to coaches to how sunny it was the day it was held....and of course attendance
10) Who we hate threads and why
AND LASTLY
11) Killing time threads until football season occurs....LIKE THIS ONE!!!

RE: Its a long time till kickoff
There will always be Liberty threads. They are very similar to herpes: You can have no sign of a Liberty poster for months, and then bam... a breakout happens. This is the time that the sores known as Liberty posters come out and hang on, taking any form of information as a sign that Liberty is being discussed and allowing them to chime in.

Not on the Sun Belt messageboard by I have enjoyed some of the threads here on csnbbs on who the fans of the American Conference feel like they are being dumped on and are not receiving the respect that they deserve.

To read the AAC board, you would think that they are a division in the NFL.

RE: Its a long time till kickoff
One thing I've noticed over the years is that if you remove identifiers like school names, etc, it's really weird how much sports messageboards and posters resemble one another. You got the know it alls, trolls, sunshine pumpers, good citizen geeks, the whole high school experience --- doesn't really matter which conference or school or team the board is for. They're all so alike.

Ouch Rev,
- compared to herpes
- posters known as sores
Are you always this pleasant or did we catch you on an extra good day! I'm glad we caught you when you were happy, I would hate to back in that path of wrath that you're so proficient is stating. Surely no man of the cloth would be so angry and judgmental.

On the contrary, men of the cloth are historically angry and judgmental:
The Mountain Meadows Massacre
The Inqusition
Mass. Witch Hunts
Roman Persecution of Christians
Choir Boys in the Catholic Church
. . . a few incidents that spring to mind. . . throughout human history, more blood has been spilled in the name of God than any other source you care to name . .
In light of that maybe a comparison to herpes is not so bad.. . . .

The best part of my response was "Ouch". It has multiple meanings on multiple levels. I read what had been written as a response to the first post to my wife and she looked at me with that bewildered, deer in the headlights, twisting dog head look like, what would prompt anyone to make that mean of a comment. Oh well, each to his own. Let's all be on our best behavior and try to keep the muck slinging at a minimum. I like less muck.

You seem to believe I am angry and judgmental. I am not. I am stating similarities.
Liberty has not been invited, year after year, yet you are still here. So we can't get rid of you. Like herpes.
Your posters randomly pop up to talk about Liberty joining the conference, kinda like an outbreak... Like herpes.
It's just an analogy. If you have a better example of something that isn't wanted, but stays anyway, and pops up randomly... I'd be glad to change my analogy.

You've stooped as low as low can be. Many posters here, who dislike Liberty, who have repeatedly stated their disdain, and vow never to support Liberty in an invite, would never think, much less write in a public bbs, what you have said.
It's clear that Liberty is not the terrible enemy that you attempt to make it out to be. It's vividly clear that the worst enemy that you have, is yourself. This is beyond anger it's more outrage. If this is a way that you way you get your jollies then that's a sad statement.
If any Mods are reading this I would think an appropriate action would be in order.

You are not. You can compare a message thread to a disease, in this case, herpes, because they are not animate. But when you call a person a herpes sore, you are crossing the line from irritation on your part about an action (constant comments) to insulting and denigrating another human being. Those are not similarities.

Seriously? You're making the line of "calling threads about Liberty herpes is fine, but calling the constant posting by Liberty posters as herpes is over the line"?
