You may discuss your team at will in the SEC forum however you may not troll on the recrutiting forum or Razorback discussion forums.

The above is likely to be highly biased and may not be defensible.

I don't understand why any non- Razorback fans would be on here.

I go on the Tennessee site frequently and occasionally post comments on it.  I do it mainly because they are down right now, I'm taking great delight in that, and I can't help but rub it in as much as I can.  Living in Memphis, I take great pleasure in that.

I'm sure it's nothing that a $500 retainer can't fix.  Contact JackRabbit Hog for payment instructions.

For the same reasons that other fans come to our boards.  For discussion.  St Louis guy here.  During the baseball playoffs we had good discussions with Phiily fans, Brewer fans (albeit our biggest current rival and the two teams don't like each other), and Ranger fans during the World Series.  Diverse opinions.  It's actually fun if you have an open mind.

I work at a law firm in Pensacola.  I am known as the huge razorback fan here.  So far I have dealt with Auburn and LSU attorneys coming down to my office. At least the Auburn atty acted like he was sad for us.  Hell no, not the LSU fan.  Just laughed, laughed, laughed.  I reminded him about glass houses.

Seriously?  How much fun would this site be if very one agreed and said the same thing.
Let's make some waves.

so I am almost a year late to the party, but the sheer genius of this post needs to be bumped.

I'm certain y'all do... that was one heckuva season we almost had... I'm fully believe MSU would not have stood a chance against us the following week had we not lost, and would have loved to see round two with y'all in Atlanta. Either way I believe the winner would have handled FSU. I have softened my anger over the years because I know Houston Nutt would likely have made it another 8 or 9 years in the fumes of that National Championship...

QuoteHow do you unbottle the magic of the SEC?

11 Days. 11 States. 2900 Miles. The Search For Why In The SEC, It Just Means More.

Imagine telling the story of the mighty Southeastern Conference, the unquestioned king of college football, without ever mentioning or focusing on a single SEC football player or coach. Seems foolish, doesn't it?

But hey, when you are tasked by the commissioner of the SEC, Greg Sankey, to give the SEC brand a new voice, to start a new conversation about what it really means to be part of the SEC, ginning up the football highlight clips just won't cut it. Flipping this SEC thing over and playing the B-side of the record was absolutely our goal, in the form of a national TV commercial unfolding during SEC football games on CBS, ESPN, and the SEC Network this season. See, everyone already knows the SEC for football, and there is so much more (might want to keep this key word handy) to SEC culture than that. There are so many other stories to be told. We just had to get out there and tell them.

We carefully plotted out an 11-day trek into the heart (and small arteries) of SEC Country this summer. We'd visit old barns, older cemeteries, and even older libraries under summer Southern storm clouds and over the Mississippi River, pass fields of sunflowers and small town squares from Savannah to Texarkana, down to Orange Beach, Alabama, and up to Columbia, Missouri, in search of the true soul of this collection of 14 universities.

We asked anyone who came within earshot, "So, what is it about the SEC that means so much to people?" We were energized by the tongue-tied total lack of specificity in their answers. The locals definitely had their theories, memories, and feelings, but everyone went through some amount of struggle to try and pin down the perfect answer. We wondered if maybe there isn't one. The spirit of the SEC may be just that: hard to visualize, grasp, and certainly verbalize. Regardless, our kids were all off in summer camps anyway, so heck - challenge accepted!

We needed a two-second shot of our on-camera SEC Ambassador, accomplished LA TV and film actress and former Auburn homecoming queen Wynn Everett (AU Class of '00), standing in front of a jukebox in a local UT hangout. These wonderful people threw a full-blown, 50-person, three-generation tailgating event. We thought it was all for us, but we soon came to realize it was really for the Vols. In the middle of July. They stayed up overnight smoking their favorite pulled-pork barbecue with homemade coconut pound cake to boot. The group, between takes, sat and watched a rerun of a UT game from last season or last decade - who knows -

SEC Male Athlete of the Year Jarrion Lawson - a University of Arkansas graduate, track star, and current MBA student - and his parents would be waiting for us in their trophy-covered family room in Texarkana, Texas (or was it Arkansas?), the next day. Jarrion was working us into his crazy schedule as he was headed to Rio the next week to begin final preparations for the Summer Olympics.

2,900 miles total, ten states (most repeated), and the best part? Despite a Herculean effort, well, we never fully captured why "It Just Means More" in the SEC -

QuoteSEC's tagline this year, "It Just Means More," has an accompanying ad campaign.

All of these ads put Wynn Everett in some fantastical location you cannot afford, but stop to take family photos at on the way to the place you actually can afford.

In this case it's probably somewhere along Grayton Beach in the Florida panhandle, where you stop before checking in at a tiny, cramped condo a few miles down the road in Destin. The Bass Pro Shops there is massive, y'all, and the kids can run around it for hours!

Let's come back to Wynn. She is an actor picking up a check here and huzzah for that. This is not aimed at her, but at the character, who's clearly supposed to be something representative of the conference. Rephrase: who's clearly supposed to be something an SEC fan would believe their conference to be.

I have never seen this person at an SEC tailgate or at a game. If you boiled the SEC down to its spirit lady, it would not be a tiny blonde lady in a white dress reciting Pinterest poetry on the beach while wearing a white dress.

The more representative person would be the LSU mom I saw—probably around forty-five, definitely drunk but managing it well, and wearing a visor and a yellow LSU golf shirt—screaming at the Tiger defense to kneecap Cam Newton in front of her horrified son during the Auburn game in 2010.

For the same reason that on occasions we look at other SEC sites.
