The SEC Basketball board there has two threads right now -- one re:
Kentucky, one re: Florida. It seems to be marketed like it's going
to have some smack talking going on, but I guess that will be driven
by who actually posts. If it's a paid membership-only forum, like
VandyNation, then I would guess the posting would be less
aggressive. (I'm so far moderately impressed by VandyNation, btw -
but probably not something that most other teams' fans would be
interested in.)
I remember going to Ted Nation quite a bit. It was one of the more
happening places on the 'net... speaking of alcohol, democrats, and
the SEC Nation, I feel obligated to litter your inboxes with
something you would generally expect to get from that friend who you
haven't talked to in five years, but who still sends you 8 forwarded
emails every day...
(point of clarification : King Philip and myself, otherwise haughty
Vanderbilt hoops fans, are actually backwoods Alabama natives trying
to survive in the 'big cities' of our great nation. So I feel
justified in passing along this stereotypical comedy...)
"Survivor - the Dixie Experience
A major network is planning the show "Survivor 2" this winter. In
response, Alabama is planning "Survivor, Alabama Style". The
contestants will start in Huntsville, travel South through Arab, down
to Jasper and Birmingham, south through Montgomery and Maxwell AFB.
on south to Dothan and Headland. They will then proceed up North to
Troy, Phoenix City, Auburn, Sylacagua, Talladega, and via Anniston
and Gadsden back to Huntsville all by way of the secondary roads.
Each will be driving a pink Volvo, with a bumper sticker that
reads "I'm gay, I voted for Al Gore, and I'm here to confiscate your
guns."
The first one to make it back to Huntsville wins one million Georgia
lotto tickets."
