    I need a little history lesson. I asked the same question at the other site and I wanna compare answers.

    I understand being down with your home. In this case home would be your main forum. Loyalties being what they are and all. There seems to be more than that going on between SBR and EOG though. What brought it all about? How did the war between the two begin?

    I don't understand why people waste their time there. That place is like a mausoleum.

      Yeah but I am trying to get interest in something. laying the groundwork to get them interested in a cross forum contest. Like two 16 man teams facing off in head to head competetion in each sport. I think SBR would would win College Football for sure. Not sure about all the other sports since I never really pay attention after football.

      I don't know if we could even set something like that up but with some of the guys like Pavy and a few others that do sports year round I think SBR would fair very well, maybe even sweep all the sports.

        EOG owner Kenny owes JJ $400 is a big reason.

        I do not visit there nor have I ever made a post.

            Well I found out that a cross forum challenge has already been tried and failed. Figures, my original ideas are always not very original.

                There are a few ways to look at it.

                From my point of view, I don't like EOG because I bet on sports for a living and I value good industry information and discussion. I dislike the support they have shown for bad books since the forum began - and the false and/or twisted and/or omitted information over there by people up to and including Shrink.

                I don't know why I care. I know when they are lying - and I know not to trust them if I'm not sure - so it's not like I am going to get sucked into something. It's also not like SBR is perfectly lily white. But SBR is clearly superior in that regard. End of discussion for me.


                I am probably in the minority in that regard. I think for more people the rivalry is basically just due to being dopey in the head. Same way sports fans like their team and hate the rivals. At the heart of it - who cares? They're a group of guys - we're a group of guys.

                As a bettor who doesn't have favorite teams, it seems silly to me. And I really don't give a crap if people post there or here or both. But a lot of guys just want to have a team and get the whole us-against-the-world thing going.



                My 2 cents.

                      I'm going back over and see if I can't get your money back JJ. Do you happen to remember how long this debt has been owed, we may need to add a little intrest to it. This Kenny, does he have a nic?

                              JJ if I am able to get the money owed to you 20% handling fee should be enough. I am working on a deal though where instead of atually paying you back they keep KingRevolver over there on his leash and we call it even.
