fair enough.

seems you lay it on thick most of the time.

I may be overly sensitive to it. I'm firmly convinced that the evils of "pride" are among the lessons I've been banished here to learn. My dad would have beat my (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) if I carried on like you do. and every time I get to feeling too proud, God not only knocks me down a few pegs, He throws me down a flight of stairs.

Like this post Nittany made when Bama lost earlier this year? https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/7947740/the-tide-got-rolled#Post7947740

Or maybe this one? https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthr...-conference-schedule-in-2024#Post7876516

Don't worry, Nittany can dish it out as well as take it.

Honestly, marlin, you're the one that's coming off as a bit of a jerk here. It's called trash talking and it's part of the tradition of college football. You ought to hear the way us SEC fans talk to each other as our teams beat the snot out of each other all season. Most of it couldn't be posted on tman, lol.

White did he take your bet ? That was from Nittany

it didn't rise to the level of your BS, but I'll pay up.

No I don’t think he said he’d take your bet. I remember the post now but like I said Nittany messsged me so I don’t take his nor any ones trash talk to heart
But hope you have noticed that oh st. Penn st fans have been silent!

I didn't take the bet so put your wallet up.

And please accept my apology to you and anyone else who felt slighted by my rightful pride and exuberance in my conference.

BTW, do you even have a team you pull for?

That's not surprising considering you have arranged marriages in the SEC. You're all related......not the actual players who play...just the fans. Small gene pool....and it shows. Lolololol

I'm a Penn State fan...died in the wool.

I guess I'm just old school...we were taught to be gracious, whether we win or lose.

I asked if you even had a school.

see above

Yeah, are they a thing?

I believe it's important for the players to exhibit sportsmanship. But fans ribbing each other about how much their team sucks is just all in good fun if you ask me. I consider Nittany a friend and we PM fairly regularly. But I expect him to give me grief everytime Bama loses and I do the same to him.

Let Bama lose and those Yankees will talk about it for years to come, lol!!

unlike some "fans", we support our guys even in the tough years.

some guys resort to "Conference Glory" when their home team doesn't perform...easy way out.

Georgia has been AWESOME recently.

If he thinks this is bad he's welcome to come down here last weekend of the season.

Mama was a barner, Thanksgiving at grand dad's was fun with just three of us BAMA faithful in the house. Grand dad had a very dry sense of humor and could deliver zingers that cut to the bone.

I swear he was looking into an annulment when Coach Bryant won #315.

But at the end of the day he could laugh it off with that deep baritone chuckle of his. I miss that.

You don't know bad years until you understand just why Bama will never hire a coach named Mike ever again, lol.

And our conference pride is family pride. Yes, we treat family that way. Me and my brothers took turns putting each other in the hospital but may God have mercy on you if did one of us wrong.

It’s easy to be silent when you have very little to crow about .
Just have to say National champions and Big 10 fans go outside and smoke. Nothing to talk about Well terminal Myers did pull one out on a missed call in 2014

But for the most part in the playoffs the Big 10 sucks. Last year’s buckeye team played lights out. I’ll give them that . But for your sake I don’t want to post any other stats. But 2 big 10 teams are the only teams to be shut out in playoffs

I guess I don't understand "conference pride"...I don't like Ohio State, I despise Michigan, not that fond of Maryland (who beat an SEC team!, LOL, LOL, LOL!) and Rutgers? meh.

I do Like Iowa.

I officially hate lying cheating Tennessee. Have a strong dislike for the drunken Cajuns. The idiots on the plains should be beaten like the red headed step child they are. Mizzou should shut up and just say thank you. Them Mississippi boys are fun guys but should remember their place and stay in their lane, more cowbell. A&M is well, A&M. Kentucky, well we ain't forgot that gold lighter. We respect the Dawgs. We don't the Gators. Or the Gamecocks. And Vandy we're proud of you keep trying. And SOOEEE, go pig.

But I'd rather any of the above win than lose to a non conference team.

As far as I'm concerned football begins and ends with the Southeastern Conference.
