Do you consider this your "Home Board?"

[JimboBBN]

I definitely do. Kind of off topic, I know.

I occasionally post on RR, but I've been reading and posting on this board since 2007 or 2008 I believe. I'm definitely more familiar with the regulars and mods here.

Only reason I ask is because I notice a lot of people get called out for their home boards when in reality, they spend most of their time here and hardly any time at their teams' board.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

only board at Rivals I visit.

I would rather be around a buch of haters ragging me about my team getting dog walked at home than around a bunch of my fellow fans in their darkest hour. Haha. Plus, I would rather bicker with fans of other teams than with fans of the same team. I post at DI some, but wouldn't consider myself a regular there. Not that there aren't good posters over there. Just that I like the diversity of the national board.

 

[AWilli6995]

There’s a voice of reason here and that’s what I like about this board.

 

[hawkit3113]

Yep.

I quit posting at DI because I was tired of bickering with other Duke fans. Now if only we could get afamu to leave.

 

[JimboBBN]

Yea, the diversity here is key to me. Arguing with UK fans who are about to jump off the ledge after a loss takes it toll.

 

[Random UK Fan]

I like the back and forth here, as well as the sophomoric humor, much more than on RR. Still post there sometimes, but there’s a few idiots there that just want to puff up at some of the least little things. It gets tiresome.

 

[AWilli6995]

We can agree on one thing and that is when our teams suck we have no problem voicing that. That’s where the respect factor comes in.

Has anyone confirmed that Afamu is Phil?

 

[sgrooms]

Has anyone confirmed that Afamu is Phil?

I think he's confirmed it by ignoring the question every time he's confronted.

 

[JimboBBN]

Has anyone confirmed that Afamu is Phil?

I thought he was your second account

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

Has anyone confirmed that Afamu is Phil?

Does it need confirmation? I have asked him multiple times and he has never responded. His handle says it all.

 

[829305]

Yes. It’s the only message board I post at. Joined when I moved to NC around 2004? Have stuck around since.

I get called out often on RR because,
1. I refuse to blame refs on a loss when you miss 11 free throws, or coach allows 3 shot clock violations in final mins
2 _ I m not a believer U6 will get the death penalty, as I didn't believe UNCheat was going to get "hammered" on the biggest scandal in NCAA recent memory.
3 I didn't think Bahamas was a good measuring stick for this year's team
4. I call out idiots on a regular basis, you know, the ref blamers , Cals the greatest homers, everyone is out to get us crazies.

I think most UK fans don't think, act like what is portrayed on RRs. I attend several watch parties / cookouts each season and none of my circle of friends act like those.

 

[UL_1986]

Easily. My hb is atrocious, not RR bad but on par, with just a handful of decent posters.

 

[Hank_]

Yes.

I don’t read RR, and a lot of the UK football hardos on the premium board drive me nuts. Plus, the diversity is the best thing about this place.

 

[RR30]

Premium UK board is great but yeah this is the best overall. Plus it's nice to see that every fan base has losers like UK.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

only guys I don't like are the ones who only show up when their team is doing good. Thinking this mostly applies to the Auburn fans and the South Carolina fans.

How in the world did you leave Tennessee off your list?

 

[coryfly]

Definitely for Rivals. I enjoy it here even when we are all going at each other. Mostly, there are no hard feelings or grudges. A few hold on to things a little too much.

 

[hawkit3113]

Who is our fearless leader?

 

[WeAreDePaul]

How in the world did you leave Tennessee off your list?

easy answer, I joined the board December 2017 so I've never been a part of this community when Tennessee is bad. So I got no frame of reference on those people.

 

[hawkit3113]

I am clearly the leader of the Big 10 posters

 

[VAWildcat15]

This and the football board are definitely my home board. I'll post on the UK boards occasionally, I've got a few hundred posts I think, but most are on the UK football board, not RR.

There's only so much "Go Cats" talk I can stomach, and when RR isn't in "Go Cats" mode they're talking about if we should fire Cal because he hasn't had a Final Four caliber team since 2017. There are some genuinely good posters there so I do lurk, but I'll never be a regular.

When I want to talk UK basketball I can talk to my college friends, I don't need RR. National board is where it's at, way more diverse opinions and posters, can't get away with pure homer BS. Unless you're ok being Crazy I guess.

 

[Global Havok]

This is my main board for basketball talk for sure. House of Blue for football discussions, however. Probably 50/50 between the two.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

Iowa posters are the funniest because it doesn't matter if their team is good or bad, they are here telling us how great they are. So even though they are often delusional, I give them lots of credit for showing up here every day and pounding the pavement.

I have been doing it for years. I paved the way. The news guys will only be here for the wins.

Lol. When I started posting here, the whole board was brutal. Tough crowd. You had to have thick skin.

Lmfao, you smart ass. : )

Yes. I post on a couple other boards but this is where I call home.

This is the only board I post on and read anymore. I used to lurk RR, UL, IU, UNC and Duke's board but don't anymore.

And diversity is what I like most here.

Yep, not one single poster here I don't get along with. I would like to get everyone down to the holler and we could all eat some vittles
