... rank on All-Time Board Stories of Interest That Jammed the Board?

(and you can almost throw this OC thing in with it as an epilogue)

Ryan Perrilloux getting kicked off?
Joe McKnight going to USC?
The 2007 National Championship Game?
The FIRST Les to Michigan?
Ole Miss 2009?
Tennessee 2010?
Others I can't think of at the moment?


In the six years, I've been hanging around here, I'd have to put "Les to Michigan II" at all-time number one.

I think Camgate has to be on this list somewhere. Not on the Tiger rant but overall impact on the board

Edit: Time i've been here it may be #1, since it ended up winning Aubbie a national title

That was pretty big too, but Les to Michigan II has to be 1st because of how drawn out the process was. Saban to Bama was pretty quick.

Saban to Miami was ridiculously huge.

hard to put in order b/c obviously the site is waaaaay bigger now than it was 6 years ago. B/c of that, I may have to put Saban to miami as the top saga.

I was thinking the same thing. Do you remember if the site crashed during this time period?

Zach Lee was pretty rampant, but it was over a really long period of time.

Saban to Bama was a meltdown like I've never seen on here before. Probably #1

RP and Joe McKinght were both pretty big, but the RP talk went on for months, if not years while the McKnight discussion fizzled out pretty quick.

I don't remember the Les to Michigan 2007 being that bad. That was before the coaching change board though if I remember and we had a lot to talk about between Flynn's injury and the SEC championship. It was pretty quick too.

From what I remember I'd rank them:

Saban to Bama
Les to Michigan/Crowton 2010
RP getting kicked off the team
Saban to Miami/Miles hired
Tennessee 2010
Zach Lee going pro (that whole week)
McKinght commits to USC
Ole Miss 2009

it also happened to be during/after Auburn's national title game while we have a board full of Bama/Barners fighting each other over it. that had a lot to do with at least the first crash

I had forgotten that Miles-to-Michigan I had a part IA and a part IB. The first was before the SECCG and Miles signed his new contract, then the talk heated up again between the SECCG and the BCSCG.

The Saban to Bama event is all time #1 and it aint close.

I might even put The loss to Arky in 07 up near the top as far as LSU fans go.

On National appeal Saban to Bama and even maybe Saban to Miami then Les/UM II

Adjusted for inflation, I'd say Les to Michigan 2007 is top, probably followed by Saban to Bama and then Les to Michigan/Crowton 2010.
