Nit just with AU but I’m general. Me personally..I think it’s the least excited I have been about an upcoming season ever. It might change the closer it gets but still. I guess it’s a combo of AU is going to suck and if you’re not bama or Clemson then what’s the point? Plus, it’s my brothers senior year at his D2 school in Oklahoma so I will be at those games now too I guess.
I hardly ever read any boog board football stories. Maybe it’s just me though, idk.

I think the talent and QBs that Bama, Clemson, and UGA have kind of drains the excitement a bit since it’s inevitable that two out of those three teams will be in the playoffs unless some wild injuries happen. So yeah, everyone else is just fighting for two other spots.

I’ll always be excited for Boog football though until we’re officially out of contention. Even though this team is headed by Chief dipshit, this is arguably the most diverse and skilled group of offensive players AU has assembled in a long time. Plus the defense is gonna be legit. If Gatewood or Nix can be just above average in the conference, then this team does have a chance imo

I like CFB and will watch but my gaf level is low. I think the lack of parity across the board produces a poor product in which those two at the top will play horrible schedules and be rewarded for it. Unless it is a fluke year and some horrid injuries occur, they should just skip to the playoffs.

Might have said this before here, but I've always had the Boog schedule in a magic marker on my big office calendar by now, but I still haven't put it up. I've made such a point that I'm all basketball until the nut job is gone, I'm afraid I might take a little ribbing around here. Actually to the point that I don't even know which big games will be played on the Labor Day weekend. I really didn't plan it this way, and really hate that it's come to this. Maybe it will subside & I can enjoy it. Certainly hope so.
 
Nah haven't been watching much the last few years. Never really liked it other than the boogs and then I’d get caught up in the other games that I wanted an upset or something.

NFL is the superior product and now that my love affair for college hoops has been rekindled college huthut is out.

Hard to be excited when you already know what’s going to happen and it involves your two biggest rivals and Clemson being really damn good
 
after watching CAM play, it’s hard to get excited about anything college football related.. he ruined it forever

perhaps if Gus had signed Deshaun Watson or Lamar Jackson we could’ve kept the momentum of Cam to Marshall to Watson/Jackson to Gatewood and I wouldn’t necessarily care if we were winning titles, I’d just be excited that we had an identity and were churning out stone cold killers at QB... and that would be enough to scare everyone we faced which would be enough to keep me interested

but, alas, the spectrum nerd roaming our sidelines, spazzing out and eating boogers isn’t one of the hidden genius types - he’s just a deranged weirdo... so he’s murdered my interest until big changes are made

I use to be all into football but now I only watch night games and fall asleep most of the time in the 2nd half of them. I'd just rather be outside fishing or hunting than sitting on the couch watching football during the day.

Signed in to the boog board today on a buddies acct and made the mistake of opening an 11 page thread somebody started making fun of Gus for signing Meatloaf instead of Lamar Jackson. I knew what had happened but I opened it anyway. Fifth post was rice saying OP obviously didn’t see Lamar Jackson in the Ravens playoff game......explains to everybody how shitty the guy is that led his team to the NFL playoffs. I’m excited about football season because people like him will get what they deserve.

More nervous to see if Gus destroys the future heisman winner Bo Nix. Other than that, I don’t give a poo.

Today he stated Tim Horton wasn’t fired. When pressed he said he was only demoted then went to Vandy on his own. Idk if it’s me but I thought being demoted means you lost your job that you had.

I would call it relieved of his current duties. I associate fired with “I won’t see you at all anymore”
 
I'm very excited about the upcoming football season, because I have learned about golf specials on football saturdays. Outside of that, I'm the least excited about football as I have ever been in my life.

the month or so stretch when rice first really got on my radar and I wasn’t sure if he was the most terrifyingly deranged imbecile in the history of college football internet message boards, or the greatest troll in the history of this - or any other - simulation, was the most enjoyable stretch of time I’ve ever spent on the bunker

really the only enjoyable stretch I’ve ever spent there that didn’t involve a coaching search or the collapse of a season leading to an eventual coaching search

We normally don’t have much to cheer about in football playing against the other titans of the best college football conference. Last yr, was great. I don’t see Clemson losing unless sunshine comes back down to earth.

That whole bit about paying cash for groceries while at the same time having 2 different Discover cards still has me questioning what’s real.

my greatest personal interaction with him was a few months later when there were rumors that JJ was being fired or reassigned and I said something along the lines of - if JJ gets fired I’ll drive to the Montgomery Publix and buy rice’s groceries for the week and pay for it with a card - and he started replying as if he actually expected me to do it

A handful of my favorite rice moments over the years:

- telling me that Hoover HS has better defensive players than mid level division 1 teams
- the “athletes don’t have time to smoke dope” thread
- the thread when we rehired JB Grimes, rice said “that’s it I’m done with Gus” then 3 pages later talking about how JBG is such a technician, valiantly white-knighting for Gus against the whole bunker
- the Lamar Jackson thread a few months back made by @Stanley McRustler. If you are still on tbb, you know what I’m talking about
- comparing BRUCE’s 2017-2018 SEC ‘ship season and Gus’s 2017 season. He said that Gus won the SEC regular season title (hahaha) and both flamed out in the postseason.

Has Rice ever made it over here? I honestly respect his dedication

One of my favorite rice memories was when he used a term, and then claimed it meant something it didn’t. Maybe he then doubled down. I replied with the definition of said term, which was some nautical term. Someone else immediately followed with a “Captain Rice” quip that was glorious.

Ah, memories.

How’d that thread lead to it? I guess I forgot what was in the rest of the thread......

And btw, I owe you guys an apology. I saw the bad side of Tate a few weeks ago, and now I understand.

He locked the thread after about 300 replies of rice getting roasted and I started another thread “mocking him” soon after. Was actually the first time I was ever banned but I think I only lasted maybe a month after that...

I’m excited for football this season, but not Auburn football. I enjoy the NFL tremendously and like watching competitive college games that aren’t AU. Pretty sure watching AU too much this season will cost me a new TV...
