He is, and if you look at when he joined this board you'll see that he has been for a long time. I suspect that he's one of the oldest posters on Blazertalk. He went to Bama and lived here while Bear was coaching. Think about how much we like Bill Clark and multiply by most of the state.

Yeah, his schtick gets old, and yes, he knows damn well the things that you guys are gonna gripe about. He spins your crank and then y'all start b******g. If it really bothers you, use the button. That's why it's there. If you're not going to do that, deal with it.

I say this because I've read this conversation about a hundred times now, and it gets as old as his 'Bama references... so I guess I'm doing what y'all are, only about you. I'll take my own advice and deal.

I agree with 90% of the points BBF makes.

He just takes far too many rambling words to get to his point...

Long time reader of this board, recently started posting. This board has lost a lot of members over the years as people have moved to social. I think everybody adds value even when don't agree with them. Like any family, some uncles get on nerves but they are still family. lol

One of the biggest reasons for the decline is kids typically don’t use message boards. No new blood. Eventually we will all die of old age and Blazertalk will cease to be.

Yep, no question that it's a generational thing. It's not unique to BT. Message boards are mostly a Gen X thing.

Did y'all watch what they have to say about the upcoming season today?

Ho hum, nothing enlightening or not already known to most fans. Excited about stadium, program is rolling, rings are nice bling.

Have y’all seen that the Sun Belt is having a 50% increase in their games added to ESPN networks?

Must be nice. No commish or ADs taking days off.
