They are unbearable. I lurk on one board and every other thread is bashing Manti or speculation over how badly Bama will destroy us in the NCG.

I don't run into many of them in New Orleans, thankfully. I primarily catch heat from LSU, UGA and Auburn (!) fans. I usually catch the ND games at an Irish pub down here, so we're usually safe there, but my lady friend is a Bama fan, so have to move to a more SEC-oriented bar for those, and I usually have at least 2-3 idiots throwing abuse my way by the end of the night. A few weeks ago, an LSU fan kept shouting down the bar how much he hates everything ND stands for and I made the mistake of chiming in with, "What is it about us, exactly, that you can't stand? The proper education or the commitment to ethics and social justice?" Went over so well the bartender offered to cover my tab to get us out of there before the place exploded. Whoops.

EDIT:

LSU/Bama is a rivalry, you root against your rival. Period.

It's like a comforting consolation prize to some of those SEC baffoons

"Well, we got beat, but we're stil in the ESSS EEEE CEEEE"

Hah, this is another one that nearly me in trouble. A couple of guys were pumping SEC superiority and I made a comment about how I hadn't seen so much cousin-kissing since accidentally stumbling into a family reunion in Tuscaloosa. Thankfully, I made that comment at the ND-friendly pub. This season has really destroyed my filter.

It would have been worth the price of admission alone to stay and hear what the hayseed came up with. Drinks+apps=60 dollars.... Waiting for SEC fans to give a logical, well thought out response while dribbling chaw down their chin=Priceless

Yes, Aggie is unbearable. I had an A&M alum walk up to me for no other reason than to tell me he was going to root for Alabama or Georgia to beat us. When I inquired as to why, his response was, "SEC." Like they have been in the conference for 20 years. Absolutely irrational.

They have been "little brother" in this state for a long, long time. 4 months ago they were crapping their pants wondering what they got themselves into. Let's see how they look when the SEC gets an offseason to prepare for them. Color me skeptical.

I've worn my Notre Dame tie to school every day since the Navy game. Every day idiots see it and tell me how we have no chance against the SEC, and I respond with silence. Ignorant comments don't deserve answers.

Dude.... You live in Cleveland. It's not like you live in Dixie. That story has nothing to do with anything being discussed. If it were us v. Buckturds, then I could see you having a pony in the race, but this means nothing.

Any sports-related board will be unbearable for the next 37 days. The SEC circlejerk along with classic ND hate is going to drive me nuts which is one reason why I will be intolerant towards literally every SEC poster who joins this board.
