As a messageboard "haver" I thought to myself, "this is a cool place for people to come on and talk". Not many people did. A core group of around 30 people, but over 100 subscribers. This was 2003 BH (before Huey). Now, I find out about Huey's site and think, "this is the Mecca of sites for football junkies". My board recently went down, but I didn't give up and went in and created a Proboard (since they are awesome) of my own. As a humble member of Huey's board I would ask that you click over to my board and register....just for a minute.....and then you can click back. I would like my board to grow quickly, but in the end.....could I get 13,000 people?  ? Probably not!!! Thanks Coach Huey and thanks guys for checking my board out.... reelsportreplay.proboards51.com/index.cgi |

dub - the theme is similar to Huey's. I am looking to add more boards to the boards. In fact, I'll be doing that this weekend.
The only difference is that "other" people are on the board. Fans, parents, etc. For those worried about that statement. I haven't had one problem in 4 years regarding parents, fans, bashing coaches, players, etc. It has been a nice mix.
If you do come by, thanks. And thanks to the ones who have came by already.

this may be in left field....but I'll ask it (thank you, Merlot)
I don't know if you do this (or not....or anyone else).
but, what would be the benefit/negatives to having a team(sponsored) message board.
As we know the local paper for Mr.tothehouse experienced some e-slander earlier in the year, what would a message board for parents, fans, etc could interact as well as coaches
The thing is, with the current generation and the X'ers .....electronic communication is the way they communicate (whereas the older generations are offended by emails....etc).
Is there a way for parents / etc to voice concerns, applause, gripes via a message board (team)?
I know John Curtis has something like this.....

Broph - good question. To me this goes back to the annonymous poster thread. It makes you brave to be anonymous and rip apart hard work by coaches and players. I think a place like that would be cool, but the person should be forced to use their name. Coming onto a messageboard and ripping the coaches and players anonymously is like placing a phone call and ripping the coaches and players, but not using your name. When that happens it's like the call never took place.
Again, the guys on our board have been extremely civil, but have argued points a lot. Some have been heated. It is a good release.
And by the way...my board is NOT a sponsored board for our team. It is for my business. I have a category for the team I coach, but you notice it is lower down on the page.
Good thought though Broph!

 I'm just saying.... THIS GENERATION (30-somethings) communicate through emails THE NEXT GENERATION communicates through IM & texting This ain't your daddy's football program anymore Now with administration IP addressess can trace individuals (with the exception of dynamic IPs), so its not like its completely annoymous, and those IPs that abuse the TOS can be censored..... My point is, you are giving a milieu for discussion.....it just so happens you CAN control the topics presented  I am also a moderator on the Vladimir Putin Message Board......so, uh....just passing along some thoughts.

Thanks for coming by my site guys. Take a look again and start some threads. Heat up the playoff action talks of your program and the BCS excitement in college ball.
