I'm good on most of that stuff...what I'm waiting for is Earle & bayou (and anyone else who uses them) to post player or coach name acronyms ... things like JPW, TR, TP, etc...I only understand about 1 in 4 without having to look them up b/c my brain doesn't process 'em w/o me getting frustrated!

Brett we are going to have to get you a decoder ring for Christmas. Part of my daily entertainment is trying to figure out who the heck is ZL? Acronyms and the crossword puzzle is what keeps the old mind sharp.



CLM = Coach Les Miles
CHN = Coach Houston Nutt
BOT = Board of Trustees
boardnazi = tidefans moderator
BGE = Big Green Egg bbq pit
JJ = Julio Jones
GM = Gregg McElroy
AJ = AJ McCarron
SJ = Star Jackson
RU = Roy Upchurch
CP = Colin Peek
BS = Brad Smelley

Big A Acronyms ..what do they mean?

Great idea...thank you!! I have to scan forward in the thread hoping to figure out in another reply what some of you are talking about. I have kids in college but sometimes I am really lost.

This is a great feature! I've always wondered what BOT stood for; now I know. This forum just gets better and better.

Re: Acronyms ..what do they mean?

Just kind of curious... Is this only going to work if you write it a certain way, say all capitals? Or will it catch any word matching 100%. Or are ya not that far along yet in planning?

BTW I think this is a great idea. Pretty soon this is going to be the premier site in all of college football. Get it while it's still free folks they are going to start charging admission soon!

I thought so, too. Unfortunately, my post was deleted by some boardnazi. But not from your post. That really does a lot of good, huh?


Don't fret! I'm definitely going to start using it. If nothing else, it will live on in my vocabulary.

You might want to think about that before posting it here.
