You are in message board purgatory. You wait upon heavenly topics to discuss, or hot topics that burn with the flames of hell. In either case meaty stuff.
In purgatory you get endless "what if" threads which are the fantasies of posters majoring in what is not fact or reality, and instead amounts to an old person pondering all the options life presented them and trying to relive what might have been instead of celebrating and accepting what did.
Then you get a montage of schadenfreude threads about what horror is about to befall your rival's team or conference.
When they really get bored we'll have fantasy drafts of schools for fantasy leagues and fantasy conferences. Those are filed under the heading of "Campaign Promises" in that blue monkeys will fly out of your butt before any of them come true.
It is what it is, and it lasts from the end of the basketball tournament until opening kickoff for Fall football. There are some here who will rightfully talk about College Baseball and Softball, but not many.
Plant a garden and tend it, visit friends and family, check in in the morning and in the evening to see if any major mid-Summer news has broken as it did with OU/UT and USC/UCLA, because other than that it will be a diarrhea of bloggers and beat writers putting out the most outlandish crap they can to drive hits and sell copy.
And then for the really bad ones there is the steno pool where you can go for a Swaim if you feel too sticky! But be aware he stays in the shallow end of that pool!
