After much contemplation and conspiration with a man typically known only by his initials, a hostile takeover of SBC Voices is being effected at this moment and the blog will hereafter be known not as SBC Voices but as SEC Voices.
This change will result in a few visible differences around here:
#1. No more space wasted on nonsense like the New York Yankees.
#2. All contributors will be expected to change their avatars to represent mascots declaring their allegiance to appropriate organizations.
#3. No more discussing Joel Osteen unless he moves from Houston to College Station..
#4. No more space wasted on nonsense like the New York Yankees.
#5. There will be no unnecessary allegiance to Nashville. Not until Vanderbilt becomes something other than a punchline at the Punch Bowl.
#6. Calvinism discussions will focus on whether or not the officials are trying too hard for one team or another.
#7. Any discussions of the BCS will focus on figuring out who the second-best team in the nation is.
#8. The “Top Commentators” section will now be called the “High on the Hog” list.
#9. Discussions of worship styles will be about whether or not to have the band sit or march during the service.
#10. No more space wasted on the New York Yankees.
#11. More effort will be given to building 100,000+ seat sanctuaries with luxury boxes.
#12. We will sort out any forms of doctrinal dispute by having well-paid volunteers run around for an hour, running into each other. And brick walls.
#13. Even when we lose an argument, we’ll just claim that it was one of our ‘lesser teams’ to maintain our air of superiority.
#14. Running a multi-part series to make a point will be referred to as “style points” or “quality wins.”
#15. No more space wasted on the New York Yankees.
So, welcome, one and all, to the new blog, SECVoices. Pay no attention to the Big 10 or 12 who want to stop it.
I’ve been reading the SBC Voices for several years, and had the feeling that, sooner or later, you’d find some way to improve it. Goodness knows it needs it.
Liberal.
I’m starting to suspect myself of that.
Oh, that SEC. Now I understand why Dave said we needed to ban it. I have reconsidered my earlier post and think that SEC should be taken off the banned list. The rest of them are still OK though.
This brings a question to mind. Since the SEC is pretty region specific, are us folks up north still allowed to write for the site after the name change? Do you think they might consider renaming the conference. Perhaps, Great Commission Conference in honor of the coaches salaries or alleged payments to players would work.
Oh, and WPS!!
I think Great American Conference would work, but OBU is already there.
The above blog will never do. First, it already has three too many references to the New York Yankees (obviously a dig at one of the leading bloggers…and well-deserved, but the blog is no where for anti-digs at Yankee fans, as repulsive as they are to folks to whom the term is on the level of an unmentionable word…just imagine how my friends Grandmother felt and spoke about them folks up north after they showed up and drove her and her family from their plantation in South Carolina, seizing it for their own)Second, I don’t remember anything else of importance… Read more »
As to Avatars, mine has already revealed to Bob Hadley that my name is purely southern like the john boy and jim bob of the Waltons, except mine is Jimmiedon. My son ought to be happy about that fact. He is always after me about using james, which my momma wanted to name me, but thought if she did every one would call me jimmie. So she called me Jimmie and folks have often called me James (it is even on my license and ordination papers). And the Don is not on the b.c., but the whole family called me… Read more »
I refuse to be associated with a site called SEC Voices when everyone knows that ACC Voices would be a much better choice. However, I would like to say that I am glad my father finally revealed his true identity and acknowledged his heritage.
ACC? Never.
But I agree about the SEC Voices idea. Bad idea.
David: Ignore my son. He is forever getting things wrong on first glance. he was reading SEC instead of SBC….besides he is a Yankee fan, a scalawag as they use to say, And he has no room to talk about names. He was named by his Great Grandmother, who named him way before he was born. It was here maiden name, and I even wrote my daughter a letter for her 9th birthday, July 27, and told her to take care of Momma and Craig (he would be born Sept.8). My wife was sure it would be a boy (and… Read more »
Well…this does bring up an important question: do you have gcbvoices.com reserved, Dave? In case the vote passes? 😉
Someone else has it registered. You can do a whois search to see it.
Laf: Selah has it. (Hariette Petersen.)
Selah-v even. And Laf is my online abbreviation of laugh, which I rarely use in polite company, but that should make it fine, here. 😉 😛
