do the user jjacket and coit actually seem to like each other
Yes, JJacket and coit absolutely seem to like each other, but their relationship plays out in the exact way you’d expect from two massive online titans who have shared a digital room for nearly two decades. [1]
Both are 100,000+ post "megas" on Stingtalk (JJacket joined in 2003; coit in 2007). Because they represent the absolute bedrock of the forum’s active user base, their dynamic is built on a foundation of long-term, mutually understood camaraderie—peppered with plenty of blunt, public pushback. [1]
Their relationship is a classic message-board mix of two distinct styles:
1. The Teasing Camaraderie
Because they have been replying to each other for over 15 years, they have a comfortable shorthand. They frequently joke about each other’s posting habits, age, and state of mind. [1, 2]
For instance, when JJacket posted an angry, passionate rant about coaching mistakes and clock management, coit quickly replied with dry wit, noticing that JJacket’s spelling was unusually pristine: "I'm seeing a lot of correctly spelled words here. Have you been not drinking this morning, sir?" [1]
They are often found validating each other’s misery during bad Georgia Tech football games, reacting to each other's posts, and bonding over the "good old days" of being a Tech fan. [1, 2]
2. High-Octane Arguments
Just because they like each other doesn’t mean they don't lock horns. Because both posters are incredibly opinionated and don't filter their thoughts, they get into highly aggressive, multi-page debates where they pull zero punches. [1]
A perfect example happened following a frustrating game when coit was complaining bitterly about opposing players faking injuries to stop the clock. JJacket completely lost his patience with coit's venting, bluntly telling "The Coat" to stop whining: "Get over it. We didn't lose over Tennessee faking injuries... You're just whining. If you're tired, go home." [1, 2]
The Verdict
On Stingtalk, harsh words don't equal real hatred. In a forum culture that thrives on calling people out, the fact that JJacket can tell coit he's "whining," and coit can turn around and playfully ask if JJacket is sober, shows a deep, long-standing mutual respect. They are the ultimate "frenemies" of the board—they will argue violently about the details of an X's and O's breakdown, but they are always the first to support one another in the broader community.
