We got a mention from the Nat'l CFB Media

The dry erase board needs to go along with all the other hey! look at me! shenanigans occurring on the sidelines of college football games. Seems this generation does not understand sportsmanship or true humility.

You’re too old for your opinion to matter.

PS - no one under 70 uses the word “shenanigans”

Jesus Christ, people like you genuinely disgust me. You and everyone else from your generation with so much mindless anger over the ways kids have fun which don't adhere to whatever rules you used to live by when you were their age. Your impotent rage is not righteous or valid. Kids are going to do the things that make it more fun for them to play the game you enjoy watching, and there's not a single ööööing thing you can do about it. Meanwhile, every single day, you get angrier over increasingly meaningless issues and try to present your annoyances as reasons for why the world and the species have gone to öööö, when the reality is you're just projecting your insecurities onto the easiest target. There's no easier target than the generation after you, and it comes with the built-in, bogus substance of wisdom, supposedly acquired in your extra years lived. But you're not wise. You're just getting older. You could just let kids have fun their way, and you could have your fun your way, but you'll spend the second half of your life seething over the fact that you know and understand yourself even less than you understand the younger cultures you loathe so much, and there's zero chance of you ever admitting to your own ignorance, or to how irrational your hatred is.

Kids are going to keep doing things different from you because they see and hear your mean-spirited derision and they don't want to end up like you, another hollow monster.

Your generation has Ty Cobb. You really can’t talk about sportsmanship homie.

The most epic post in stingtalk history.

But seriously, just ööööing play football. Is that not enough? You really have to go writing your Twitter handle down on a whiteboard after you get a meaningless interception down 5 possessions? You shouldn't be on social media if you are also trying to play football and go to school.

I can't pretend social media and its central place in kids lives are things I like or fully understand. I feel gross seeing the way kids now casually present and treat themselves as brands, like the viruses of marketing and advertising have infected even simple social interaction, just conceptually, without even getting into how brands and companies and ads have permeated our every waking moment. But it's the world we do live in, and in the context of a game, I'm not going to object to any bonus fun the players manage to create and use to incentivize excellence. Instagram makes me feel nauseous on a spiritual level, but if we can get more turnovers in exchange for making it easier for some Buckhead influencer slut to hook up with our linebacking corps, yeah, let's get their usernames out there.
 
We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell 'em do things that don't go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Snellville to write my name on the social media white board but it was the water tower on US 78 that said Gwinnett is Great. People were outraged because Gwinnett was a common name for sisters and Great means they were promiscuous. I needed a new heel for my Russell Athletics shoe, so, I decided to go to Stone Mountain, which is what they called Snellville in those days. So I put a clear water bottle, empty, in my clear bag, which was the policy at the time. Now, to get into the game, you had to put your clear water bottle, empty, in your clear bag and let a swarm of swarthy temporary workers finger your empty water bottle inside your empty clear bag. The temporary workers cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say. The bees later became Buzz and were copyrighted.

Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had a clear water bottle, empty, in my clear empty bag on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white adidas shirts because of poor planning. The only thing you could get was those big blue ones that said up with the white and gold but you couldn't wear those to the white out because Tony Yetman wore green...

This was what I originally came here to say before Eustace over here distracted me.
 
Such as thou art, sometime was I.
Such as I am, such shalt thou be.
