Re: Agreed. You would not believe how silly it's getting on

Great article on si.com today from Andy Staples. If you're not part of the SEC (and you NEVER will be), you won't understand, but here's a passage from the article:

"When one team wins, the entire league celebrates. That may sound silly, but football simply matters more to people in the South than it does to anyone else. Southerners love knowing they can do their favorite thing better than anyone else, even if another group of Southerners actually does the winning."

AND

"S-E-C, S-E-C, S-E-C . . . Are you tired of hearing it? Do those three letters twist your guts and drive the bile into your throat? There is one way -- and only one way -- to make them stop. Go to the BCS title game and beat the SEC."

That makes no sense. When I posted before the game, I was posting things having to do with football. I don't consider that as talking trash.

You are talking trash when you say things like "inbred states of Louisiana...". I never did that.

And like I said, I never left after LSU lost. I came right back to the board after the game to congratulate Clemson fans on the win.

Usually how things work is, fans trash talk before games with good-natured ribbing. They will argue about the outcome of the future game.

Then the game is played.

The losers come back and admit defeat. The winners are supposed to be classy and talk about a hard-fought game.

That's how it usually works.

But apparently many Clemson fans didn't get the memo. After the win, they talk even MORE trash. Which is fine. Nobody can make some Clemson fans be classy in victory. I can't really say much as an LSU fan. You guys won.

I could have come back on here and talked trash about LSU's national championships and tried to troll you guys, but I didn't. I just congratulated you guys and let you enjoy the win.

I noticed you guys never respected the SEC before the LSU game. I came back after the Alabama / Notre Dame game to see what you guys were saying about the SEC after a 7th straight championship. And of course, still no respect.

It's always excuses:

They are on steroids.

They take money.

They are all thugs.

They are cheating in some way.

They aren't as good as people say.

ESPN loves them and voters are biased.

etc.

etc.

No respect. Just excuses. Just trash talking.

I saw this and just felt like posting in a few threads to defend the SEC as a whole. Not LSU.

Bama, not SEC

I think when you win 3 of the last 4, you can start talking

Agreed. You would not believe how silly it's getting on
