LAW do you post on any Gator boards at all? If so how are they?

No, I don't.

Of the ones I have visited, I have found there to be only a very narrow middle ground. Half the posters are simple rah-rahs. The other half are sports brainiacs who seem to know what each DB had for lunch on Thursday of last week. Reading the rah-rahs makes me yawn. Reading the technicians makes me feel both stupid and bored.

VN is just more pleasant. That's about it.

Please, by the very nature of the respective fan bases, VN is patrolled by considerably brighter people.

I do find some of the Gator boards to be intimidating in the depth of the knowledge of a core group of the posters. Their disdain for those less knowledgeable is matched only by their competition to see who knows the most about the narrowest subject. While there are some on here like that, seems like not nearly as many as on the Florida boards.

I'm not sure that is a good thing because it ends up being a contest of who knows the most about things that I can't reference. Some of the Gator posters on these boards take delight in knowing more about which guy is better at which coverage, which guy moves a nanosecond faster to his right than his left, what defensive scheme is best when the temperature is above 92, but humidity is less than 70 percent, and its an even numbered year, and the favorite color of the opposing DB coach is blue....

My point is that, while some of these people may indeed understand the game a whole lot better than I do or ever will, there is a limit to my patience for learning or weighing in on such super-technical things and so its just not entertaining.

Same thing happens to me on some sites I visit about hurricanes (being that I live in Florida). Some of the true meteorologists write in a lingo I can't understand. Here's a quote form one of those sites today ....

"Over the past month, the magnitudes of the negative SST anomalies in the main development region (MDR) of the tropical Atlantic have maintained themselves and expanded westward from the coast of Africa to now encompass the entire MDR between 10-20N. This is better highlighted by looking at the change in SST anomalies from mid-June to mid-July; if you use the Unisys archives you can see them for yourself."

All I can say in response is "Look at the pretty satellite picture of the reds and greens. Hope it doesn't come here."

Yea, I kinda thought he was rolling out a backhanded compliment as well.

See mine immediately above. Its not a backhanded compliment. Its not an insult. Its nothing. I just find the discussion on VN to be at about my comfort level in terms of technical knowledge tmeptered by rooting for my team. Its a good mix of motivation, experience, knowledge, and perspective. Its just a game.

Actually, I do a little bit. But I figured it wouldn't mean much to you lucky inland folks and so would prove my point. Basically, the guy is saying that the sea surface temps are going up in some areas, but its kinds of whacky because in other areas they are lower than expected.

We only have to worry about F-5 tornados that pop up out of nowhere with no warning.

Hurricane comin?

If you haven't seen TennesseeAtlanta24gordon in awhile, you might want to call the authorities since we've known since the day you signed up that you were posting from his computer and had the same e-mail address. :eek:k:

No, the biggest problem you have on the way are statewide riots breaking out when the tide has a losing record this season and they show nicky on the front page of the Tuscalooser Times boarding a private jet - smile on face and stacks of hundreds hanging out of a duffle bag.
