re: Hurricane Season - TD9 - Oh Boy

The Q thread that was shut down by the FBI after the 2020 election and J6.

How long ago was that one? Does not ring a bell.

*Edit*

Found some info. Not sure why I dont remember it. May have been before my days here. Hung out SR.com during period perhaps.

The Context: During Auburn's 2010 national championship run led by quarterback Cam Newton, rival fans and posters on Tiger Droppings launched an extensive, multi-year thread. [1]

The Content: The thread compiled decades (roughly 30 years) of rumors, allegations, gossip, and supposed behind-the-scenes scandals involving Auburn athletics and its booster network. [1]

The Legacy: It became a piece of SEC internet lore, often referenced as a sprawling, soap-opera-style deep dive into college football conspiracy and gossip.

It stated about Cam Newton getting paid etc and was about Alabama corruption, the Dixie mafia, JFK, Barry seal, Iran Contra, the bush boys, Milton McGregor, etc . It went on for years.

Won't even be close to longest thread.

Someone said you'll know by tomorrow night a very general area it's hitting within probably 50 miles or so after the hurricane flight data is in the models.

The "As The Plains Burn" thread became an absolute monster in terms of scale, reading like a serialized, multi-generation soap opera. Because it was a community-sourced collection of college football paranoia and investigative digging, the "cast" featured a mix of real-world figures and elusive, shadowy internet personas.
The Scale: How Long It Got
The sheer size of the thread is what cemented its legendary status on Tiger Droppings.
• The Thread Length: The original thread ran for over 800 pages on the message board, generating tens of thousands of replies.
• The PDF Manifestos: Because message board threads can be clunky to navigate, users compiled the primary allegations, "insider" tips, and timelines into massive PDFs. The most famous compiled version circulated around the internet as a 130+ page PDF document complete with a table of contents, character breakdowns, and footnotes.
The Major Players
The thread treated real SEC figures like mob bosses and divided the narrative into distinct factions:
1. The Auburn Heavyweights (The Alleged "Cabal")
Bobby Lowder: A wealthy banker, Auburn trustee, and prominent booster. In the thread, Lowder was treated as the ultimate puppet master who allegedly ran the university and the athletic department from behind a curtain.
Jimmy Rane (The "Yella Fella"): The billionaire founder of Great Southern Wood Preserving. He was framed as the secondary powerhouse booster funding the operation and pulling strings alongside Lowder.
Pat Dye: The legendary former Auburn head coach. The thread painted him as an old-school godfather figure who maintained an iron grip on the program's culture long after he stopped coaching.
2. The Recruits and Handlers
• Cam Newton & Cecil Newton: Cam was the generational talent on the field, but his father, Cecil, was a central antagonist in the thread. The posts meticulously tracked Cecil’s church funding, bank accounts, and his alleged demands for cash during Cam's recruitment transition from junior college to the SEC.
• Kenny Rogers: A former Mississippi State player turned street agent. He was the middleman who blew the whistle on the Newton family's alleged "pay-for-play" demands, making him a crucial source of data for the thread's amateur sleuths.
3. The Coaches
Gene Chizik: The head coach of the 2010 Auburn championship team. The thread largely viewed him as a frontman or a "patsy" who was placed in the job specifically because he wouldn't ask questions about how the players were being acquired.
Gus Malzahn: The offensive coordinator at the time. He was treated as the tactical mastermind who was just trying to outrun the NCAA clock with his high-powered offense before the house of cards collapsed.
4. The Message Board "Insiders"
• "The Cyber-Sleuths": A handful of legendary anonymous posters on the SEC Rant who claimed to have access to flight logs, property records, and bank statements. They would drop "bombshells" late at night, prompting hundreds of pages of frantic speculation from rival fans hoping Auburn would receive the "death penalty" from the NCAA.
If you want, I can dive deeper into:
• How Bobby Lowder became the primary villain of SEC message boards.
• The specific flight logs and bank records the posters claimed to uncover.

I've seen this one before.

Sweetspot where shear doesnt overcome the jet enhancement and we could cook a decent hurricane. Otherwise, prob getting ripped to shreds on approach.
