Let's begin an intellectual discussion then about zombies. Zombies are dead, kind of, so they fit with the theme here. And zombies are all hot right now. Them and vampires and werewolves (though not those from London, for some reason; although Prince Harry would be an awesome werewolf, what with the ginger hair and all. And then there'd be Kate and Pippa as, naturally, vampire chicks. Because vampire chicks are ALWAYS uber hot. It's a rule or something. And William can be mortal and clueless, but slowly having Kate suck the life out of him. And enjoying each and every second of it. But I digress).

Does anyone know when and where zombies originated? And no using wikipedia. That'd not be fair. You must make up your own theory. And then we can fight over that.

One,

Two...

Three.....

And I was just self depreciating, because I don't take the intraweb seriously :)

I promise I'm trying to do what I can to keep boards alive in the offseason by posting any random crap that I see out there that might be of Sooner fan interest (even that stupid OSU recruit tweeting out a cash photo), but it's really hard to come by in the summer months.

I love that our baseball and softball teams had very good postseason runs and like that there's some fun pro postseason matchups going on now in hockey and basketball. Beyond that, Stoops has mostly shut his practice walls and doors to the media and fans. Player tweets are monitored too closely by coaches and staff to really ever let on any "family secrets." Texas has sucked so long that it isn't even that surprising when a player does something dumb anymore. Oh, an arrest? Yawwwwwwn

If you don't like the dead-ity of SF.com, here's some suggestions:

1- Be an active participant. Don't just read posts, create them. Don't just view threads, start threads.

2- Remember that it's the Internet. Don't be easily offended, don't write/post/etc something you will regret later (the Internet is forever) and just try to have fun, or what's the point.

3- Expand your horizons. Try out a new forum if you're a frequent football forumer, or South Ovaler, or political board poster. If you start reading about our baseball/softball/basketball/etc teams, you might actually like them as much as others!

If all else fails, go crazy enough to get banned. At least you'll humor the rest of us for awhile. If you just want to go crazy without getting banned, then I challenge you to go out in a better way than "Just to be clear..." :)

To go back a ways: for several years anytime someone posted any comment critical of the football team's performance in any area a handful of people would go nutzoid, call names, make accusations about who was a REAL fan, on and on. Then bicker, bicker.

I can understand why it is poor form to badmouth your team, but that shouldn't exclude being able to discuss things that aren't going right.

The inmates used to run the asylum. SF traffic got busier so Phil made more mods to watch over things. More mods turned into over-aggressive moderating. Many posters who posted most frequently got banned. Threads were locked on a whim (one thread I remember got locked preemptively because it might have gotten out of hand). Some who were not mods still managed to wield the power of a mod. Some posters just left because other things in life gained priority
It became more dull over here as everyone had to conform to stricter rule and there were less posters to carry the load. It's a shame. I fondly remember SF of 5-10 years ago. It was a lot of fun. Maybe it was just time people moved on.

We have this discussion every summer. Then, the season starts, and the board picks up again.


The South Oval is a much different board than it was 10 years ago though. There was just a special mix of regulars that posted a lot daily, and it was like a family. I'd never seen that before, and haven't seen it since. I think it was just a one time deal.

That said, there are still plenty of regulars here (this is the only Sooner board I post on), then there are the folks that only post during football season. Hell, I've been a member of this board since '99 and the Road Warrior days, and I took a three year hiatus not too long ago. Sometimes, life gets in the way.

If you think this is the only board that does that, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I wandered over to Landthieves to see if there was anything that was really worth it, they have a thread about how our D will be around a top 5 D next year (our D will shock people next year).

I said the "board picks up", I didn't say it picks up with intelligent conversation. :)

I love coming to the board on gameday. It's very therapeutic for me....especially after a loss.

I get a great laugh out of the "Our defense sucks!" or "Stoops was outcoached!" and "It's going to be a loooong season!"....and those are after games we WIN. I love this place.

Just to be clear. After a year of mostly positive experience, in which I had decided to become an Elite Sponsor, I started the Hollis Board, I had a 46,000 spek rating based on real spek not betting over two season and 1500 posts, in the last four weeks I can see this board is a place I don't want to be or patronize. There are two other boards which I believe have at least equivalent football knowledge without the abusive environment. I am taking my business elsewhere.

I know why I stopped being a regular, and I believe it may be the same reason many of the old-timers stopped frequenting the S.O. Many of us stopped posting about the same time.

To keep the peace, I won't divulge the reason. I will say it has nothing to do with Phil or any mods.
Chronic constipation?

Kind of like when Rhett Bomar was like "i can get OU football in trouble because i know things" and then not sharing :)

EDIT: After mentioning Rhett, I of course had to go google him. The top search return of course is his March arrest. OH! And Bleacher Report does actual interviews now??? Link (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1642811-former-oklahoma-qb-rhett-bomar-reflects-on-recruiting-and-college-football)

I was thinking, it was right around the game of which we do not speak, that excitement about the program in general took a hit. Suddenly, we were less consumed with OU football. People focused more on other aspects of their lives.

True, and I apologize. I will say it was a SF poster who's antics tired me of the site. So no big conspiracy... I just found them personally grating, so I left.

Perhaps you now understand why I was hesitant to give the reason. (And no, I will not reveal who.)

If it's me you can go ahead and say it. People have called me longwinded and annoying in the past. I understand their complaints and have tried to be nice about it and have tried to cutback on my longwindedness :)
