Questions for the masses

Post #1 » by **Icness** » Mon Apr 2, 2007 3:02 pm

Since this forum is new and we had all of college football lumped together in the prior incarnation, we can go a bunch of different ways here.

Some ideas I've had that we can do:
1. Separate threads for conferences, like Big 10, Pac 10, SEC, etc.
2. Weekly game threads
3. Recruiting thread
4. Heisman hopefuls/tracker
5. A "Fire the Coach" thread to vent on

Any thoughts or suggestions? This is a real lull time for CFB so we can take our time here.

Also, please direct all draft prospects stuff in the draft forum...

A BCS v. Playoffs thread. Since you know that topic will come up every few weeks.

Anyway, I'm not sure about a "Fire the coach" thread. Probably better to let people start individual threads for each coach, or it will get very muddled.

The rest are all very good ideas.

Hmm...big fan of #1. Makes a lot of sense since most of the fans of their team will interact with their other conference teams as well.

#2, makes just as much sense to have only one thread per week for games rather than let every game kind of get their own idolizing thread.

#3...huge fan of this. I think this could be one reason why this board might take off, and would really help enable coast to coast discussion about recruits instead of just biased discussion from only one team's fans.

#4...Makes a lot of sense during the year, and keeps a lot of just random threads from popping up.

#5....Coaching hot seat thread makes a lot of sense as well as that will be the "emotional" thread that could really help keep the board on an even keel.

Lull time?!?! What do you mean? Spring practices should be starting.

Like the conference thread idea. Instead of just a Heisman thread, how about including the other EOY awards (there's a lot out there).

I'm a huge advocate of ideas 2 and 4. 1, 3, and 5 seem to be things that could work themselves out in a way, so I wouldn't want to mess with them too much.

Although, 3 could be a good one as soon as Signing Day rolls back around again.

i would take this out under nfl forums and create a 4th board with Ncaa football/basketball then put all the ideas above as seperate boards.

Icness, for #2, I think you have to consider separate threads for the REALLY big games. (Mich-Ohio State, Texas-Oklahoma and etc.) because if you lump them up with the one thread, then that thread is going to overflow and it will get chaotic.

A lot of the NFL team boards will probably have an OT thread...

I know I plan to start an LSU thread on the Saint's board eventually.

I like this idea.
