An active duty Marine is an LSU walk-on this season as part of the Marine Corps Enlisted Commissioning Educational Program, or MECEP, a highly-competitive program that puts enlisted Marines through college so they can earn an officer's commission.

Well, I'll be damned. If it ain't amigo.

I'm not sure what you mean, "until it comes out." I've known @red55 for a long, long time. I've been talking football with him since 2002 (I think that's the year—over a decade, I know.)

Let me sum this up this way. I don't know what happened to make one forum ban an entire fan base. I don't care. I've got my opinions based purely on the reaction that led to such a move.

He's strong, sometimes forceful, with his opinions. We all are.

There was mention the other day on his forum that there wasn't a Bama forum where LSU fans were welcomed. I said "there is one where their presence isn't intimidating." (Or something like that.)

We see people group all Bama fans in a specific sect due to the actions of a few. We complain about that happening. It's only fair to not do the same with others, right?

5 to 1 he doesn't say it, amigo. :doh2:

Don't misunderstand, I've got no problem with him being here. None at all. Especially as it relates to Earle and those asshats over at TF. Their whole anti LSU policy is stupid, but look who makes the decisions. It's just when he calls folks "amigo." It's like when someone calls me "guy." Makes me want to stab my eyes out with dull sticks.

The answer was 2.

It certainly describes the tone of the post, doesn't it?

 

[rick4bama]

If you a friend of @TerryP, I feel sorry for you. (Only kidding Terry, only kidding. )Anyway, Welcome to the best Bama board on the net.

What post?

 

[TerryP]

What post?

Did your parents every use your full name when addressing you? Think about it...the implication of calling you by your first and last name carried weight?
When I see red drop amigo in one of his post it carries its own meaning...almost like "alright, damn it, this is what I'm saying." It amuses me because with one word the tone of the conversation/post changes.

 

[psychojoe]

red55, or Curmudgeon, if you prefer, welcome to our neck of the woods. having known Terry almost as long as you, I offer my heartfelt sympathy.

@TerryP
Ah, now I gotcha. That's a pretty apt description. We'll go with that.

Red is a decent enough sort.......occasional bladder control issues, but decent.
