Who's the biggest homer on the board?

[Sabanocchio]

Pretty simple really. Just vote for the biggest. homer.

[volimhtown]

Well, I just found it funny that the first two people that came to mind before I even saw the list, were the first two you had listed.:laugh:
You asked two different questions, though, Sabo....You asked who is the biggest homer AND who is our favorite homer.Those are two completely different things to me.
As far as favorite homer...it's EASILY GeauxTo. Despite the endless copy and paste threads from every half-witted journalist that reside in the state of Louisiana, he does at least have enough snap to at least acknowledge, on occasion, that football is played in other parts of the country. Plus, he adds alot to this board aside from his blind support for the Bayou Bungals.
BP, on the other hand, isn't REALLY all that much of a homer if you really stop and think about it. He's rather more of a hater of all things that aren't about Bama and especially all things Orange. He's equally (if not more so) pleased about his rivals' failures as he is about Bama's accomplishments thus making the term "homer" not really applicable.
When I think of the word "homer", I think of someone who has blind faith for all things to do with their school....someone who is not at all bothered by nor even acknowledges reality or humility....someone who will over-hype even the most meager of accomplishments at the same time they down-play and completely rationalize to the point of obscurity their glaring weaknesses.... and finally, someone who can not begin to fathom how anybody who doesn't see things as they do can be so blind. So, when I think of "Homer", DDD wins in a landslide. :laugh: So, PLEASE be kind enough to add him to your list!!

[Sabanocchio]

Oooh! I forgot d3.

[the Prodigy]

Why am I even in the running? I'm homer, we all are. But my views on my own teams success are currently pretty balanced. Now if you are talking about being a homer of yourself.... hand me the hardware, right now baby!

Yeah, I almost put myself up there, but I was afraid I'd win. :laugh:

I just couldn't think of any more names and sometimes you are overcome with extreme homerism.

D3 would probably win this hands-down if I didn't forget to list him. Where has he been any way?

Point taken, BUT ONLY WHEN I'M right!


you can still edit the thread btw....

[Sabanocchio]

The poll too?

[the Prodigy]

The poll too?

I believe so? I could be wrong about that. But I know there is no timelimit on editing threads or posts like there is on some sites.

I don't think you can edit polls. I looked real hard. I may be wrong though. It happened once before... :D

[the Prodigy]

SECTalk's own hanging chad....

[SeattleGamecocks]

Its me. Seattle no function Gamecocks well without.,,,, oh wrong Homer.

[SeanVol]

I voted for, BP.

[the Prodigy]

I'm guessing my three votes came from Georgia and AU fans....

[Tider27]

I went with GeauxTo. BP would be the obvious choice, but he seems to be joking on a lot of his posts. :D

[Sabanocchio]

I'm guessing my three votes came from Georgia and AU fans....

I was thinking MSU fans, TP.

[GatorBait15]

BP comes to mind but I vote Goto...

[the Prodigy]

GeauxTo doesn't really strike me as a homer either....

This is a terrible list Sabanocchio....:laugh:

[GatorBait15]

You don't know Goto then... He think LSU will win the NC the next 3 years lol...

[the Prodigy]

You don't know Goto then... He think LSU will win the NC the next 3 years lol...

After seeing them lose two games as the no.1 team in the nation including the last one late in the season, still get into the NC, and win, I don't see that as being outside the realm of possibility.:laugh:

[geechee]

I'm guessing my three votes came from Georgia and AU fans....

No, I would say that you are the only one on here that is genuinely disliked by everyone.:laugh:

[the Prodigy]

You, know, back in the day.... everyone hated Jesus too....

[geechee]

No they didn't and where did I mention the word hate. I would not waste a single second of life hating someone as meaningless as you.

[the Prodigy]

Ah, haha, you know absolutely nothing about the bible do you? And it's a good thing you don't hate me.... But I was right, I'm guessing you voted for me and you ARE a UGA fan.

[GeauxTo]

Okay, okay, okay...

I admit to being unabashedly homerish towards everything Louisiana, particularly LSU. But, despite my favoritism to my own, I respect all SEC teams, campuses, institutions, and fans.

"Geauxmer"
:wave:

Are you saying you accept the people's nomination for the Homer party 2008?

[PuddingTime]

How does stating simple facts, that Kentucky is the Greatest Tradition in College Basketball, make me a homer?? :D

I'm just saying....

[geechee]

For some reason I'm suddenly thinking of pond scum.

Having delusions of grandeur does not make you a homer.... oh wait....:laugh:

Is it UGA circle jerk time?

[PuddingTime]

The facts are already established, I'm just reporting 'em.

[geechee]

Yea and you are in the middle of it.

[the Prodigy]

I actually agree with you... :dry:The next few years are going to be VERY interesting in the SEC. Arkansas-UK is making a comeback baby.... I like it.

[sheluvsbama]

I think it's pretty hard not to be a homer if you are into sports enough to regularly post on this board. I am afraid we are all guilty of it! We TRY to be impartial. I guess it is just that Southern hospitality thing...we try, but we are still homers underneath it all! :laugh:

[PuddingTime]

Can't believe you guys got Rotnei Clarke......I wanted him here bad.

[the Prodigy]

Can't believe you guys got Rotnei Clarke......I wanted him here bad.

The kid can flat out shoot the basketball. We've got the shooting PG in Clarke and the Athletic PG in Fortson. We are looking good in the PG dept. Now we just need to close it out with some nice rebounders.

[Sabanocchio]

If any of you nominees take this thread seriously then I feel bad for you. Fact is I am cool with every one I named. Notice Bamafag or Grady made no appearance.

And Prodigy, Geaux is a self-professed homer therefore he had to make the list.

You have to defend your hogs against constant criticism so you are always on offense. Not that there is anything wrong with that. This is all in fun. :peace:

[PuddingTime]

Well,you got the Sanchez kid....he has some promise. UK has the shooters all locked in....we have Darius Miller, DeAndre Liggins, and Kevin Galloway. That's a great recruiting class in and of itself. If we get Scotty Hopson here, it's Top 5 easily. We just need to get another big man in here for the future. Patterson....I really don't feel the threat in the back of my mind that he'll leave like you usually do w/guys of his caliber. He wants his degree too....I dunno why...he'll be freaking rich as good as he's gonna be in the NBA.

Geaux is actually a heauxmer. On a level that none will dare to achieve

I know I'm a homer, I just don't see anything wrong w/it. When I say Kentucky is the Greatest Tradition in College Basketball...I do mean it.

Well, as far as "homerism" goes, I think passion should be encouraged, rather than squelched! :laugh:

I've never really understood BB recruiting rankings. I figure, with two of the top 25 PG's in the nation, one of the best pure shooters in the nation, and a solid class otherwise, Arkansas should be top 10 at least, but I don't know. Fortson is a manchild, at 6'1"! In the Arkansas forum I posted a youtube video of him Oden-Dunking. I'm happy with our recruits, I guess that is all that really matters.

[shanksta13]

I voted GeauxTo only because I've known him as the board's resident homer since I've been here. Bamaperry is just downright stupid and the Prodigy isn't all that homerish, in my opinion. PuddingTime is a pretty big homer when it comes to basketball, but the majority of the board doesn't give a hoot about basketball so I think GeauxTo is the winner. :laugh:

It's all subjective...depends on how they fit into the team, whether they whine about playing time....hell, you know what goes into it.

Remember our recruiting class of Rondo/Morris/Crawford/Bradley was #1 in the nation. But because Morris wanted to enter the draft early, then come back, and Rondo was always eyeing the NBA...and then there was the Sparks/Rondo issues going on behind the scenes...they never really realized their potential other than their freshman year when we went to the Elite Eight and lost in 2OT to Michigan State (DAMN YOU IZZO!!!!)

[autiger1126]

I voted for BP because I think he's insane, and if more people vote for him maybe he'll realize it.

[Kevhugh]

Someone please start the "who's the least homer on the board" thread so I can actually win something for a change.

Sorry....I've already got dibs on that title. :laugh:
My fellow Vols would vote me in by a unanimous count. :thumpsup:

[GatorBait15]

I am not much of a homer myself, I pull for every sec team...

[The Ramp]

How is this even a contest?
