Part of the alure is waiting for the updates 4x/day on that whiteboard That would be lost if we went to some digital tracker or live webcam as some have suggested.


Thanks for the civil reply Honkus. This makes sense. Sorry that an opinion has ruffled so many feathers that fellow LSU fans have resorted to calling me a ****, or a loser, or suggesting that I get a life. I have never set foot in Rocco’s and probably never will. I can no longer drink shots, or Bud Light for that matter due to a medical condition.

This really was just an observation that I found humorous, as everyone is so enamored by this challenge all over the Rant and SEC Rant. Several have mentioned how much $$ they’ve made on this game. Thought they could afford to update the display. That’s it. Sorry to have triggered so many of you. I won’t mention Rocco’s or this challenge again. We’re on the same team here, so let’s go beat the shite out of the Vols. Maybe we can all agree with that? Geaux Tigers.

Why is it that schools and recruits still use fax machines on signing day? I guess not all things need to make sense.

I like the whiteboard. It brings back memories of $5 POP and drink specials. It’s fun to wait for the updates. You kind of suck.

The white board lends itself to cheating


A shite fanbase like Tennessee could make itself look better than the weak number they have

People are paying tens of thousands for a teaspoon of vodka. What they are really paying for is having the waitress go right down the number.

love writing on my white board at work in 2023


I keep one above my desk to keep track of upcoming bids. I’m not sure what this fool is complaining about.

Your way of thinking is exactly how the CWS went from having a wood and steel baseball cathedral sitting high on a hill overlooking miles of prairie and the Missouri River where there was always a cooling breeze blowing, Rosenblatt Stadium, to a plastic and aluminum siding, sweltering on a landfill in the lowest part of the city where there's almost never a breeze and perpetually inhabited by gnats and mosquitoes, Schwab stadium.

So you're saying you don't like Schwab stadium?

I’m not sure what is the more ridiculous mentality the OP or this? On the one hand we have the OP wanting to use expensive digital technology for a simple silly contest where a simple tally board works just fine. On the other we have the notion that we should never ever ever replace or update something because of sentimental reasons. Both are lacking perspective

This is why I don’t create posts…I mostly lurk and watch posters like you hobble across the plaines like a wounded gazelle with a bunch of young tiger cubs eating you alive as you run, arse first…

Rocco’s makin out! You know those margins are sick too! No wonder why everybody in Omaha is Purple and Gold…Bringing that cash! Respectfully…I’m the whiteboard fan too…I’ve had enough change last 36months
