The fracturing of America began with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. After that the US was left with no significant rival on the international stage to unify the American public against a common enemy. With no legitimate external foe we can all agree to hate, the natural human instinct of tribalism has caused us to turn on one another. The same thing happened to Rome after the Punic Wars.

Just be like Alabama…they know they have a different thing going on, and accept it is not universally considered all that great.


This idea that people have that if you get barbecue in Alabama it is going to come with white sauce on it is ridiculous. White sauce is for chicken, and not every place has it anyway.

Alabama barbecue generally is top-notch. Being as we are in the center of the South you can find all styles here, all done well. Plus the greatest barbecue in the country is made here, in the smoker in my backyard. The rest of you are squabbling over second place.

I saw them open for Green Day a couple of years ago. They were good but not great. But then I am not at all a fan of huge arena rock shows.

This is all bama and ugay coaches need to do to ensure job security: Beat AU every year and your job is safe regardless of season outcome…


Auburn fans are known to be a delusional bunch, but not even you yourself believe this to be true. And that's what burns, because you know in Auburn's reverse case it actually is.
I was actually thinking I might go out and get shot in the arse this weekend, but after reading your brave and impassioned words, I've reconsidered and decided against it. Don't let anyone tell you that you aren't changing lives, OP!

Bama fans should thank him for bringing their offense to the modern era.


Yeah, we were really struggling before ole Lane came along.

No amount of playing pretend, no matter how elaborate, will make this true.

Ah, I see you've never traveled to the Midwest.
Arab rug weavers will often intentionally insert a flaw into their products, because they believe that to strive for perfection is to try and challenge God. That was Saban with his kicking games.
However you feel about this, there is precedent for it. Teddy Roosevelt threatened to outlaw the sport entirely if rules changes weren't made to promote player safety, which led directly to the creation of the NCAA. So it isn't like something similar hasn't happened before.

Record verse


Which record, and which verse of which song?


Seriously, though, the original question is a dumb one. Everyone knows what the Big Six means. Until you win an SEC Championship, you can't join the club. If I had to put money on which teams will be the next to do it, though, obviously OU and Texas would be the ones I would pick.

The real question ought to be, once a new team does break through and join the club, do we expand it to a Big Seven, or do we change the definition to, "These six teams have won every SEC title since 1998," and kick Tennessee out?

A ranked Bama lost to an unranked FSU to start last year and no brings up how wrong the polls were.


Bama finished the season in the CFP while FSU finished the season unranked so it seems like the polls were actually right and the outcome of that one game was an outlier.
Picking a favorite would be basically impossible, but the worst song ever recorded is Pearl Jam's insipid version of "Last Kiss."
Aside from children or truly minor characters that we barely know, the only characters in either show who actually seemed like actually good, decent people were probably Elliot and Gretchen, which is of course ironic since Walt treated them like they were both Satan incarnate.

And I guess Hank, too, but he is just SUCH a douche. :lol:
A quick search on Wikipedia reveals that apparently Herty Field is where UGA played football prior to Sanford Stadium.
I don't see Elizabeth Fraser anywhere on this list, much less at #1 where she belongs.

This guy’s picture is in the dictionary next to the word “cool.”


There are a lot of cool characters out there, as this thread amply demonstrates, but I can't think of one whose entire existence centered around the character's coolness like the Fonz. Why was he in the show? To be cool. How would you describe him? He's cool. What is his personality like? He's cool. What are his goals, what motivates him? To be cool.
