Football discussions?

Postby MoValley John » October 10th, 2010, 12:18 pm

What happened to all the football banter? I had really hoped to use this site to follow the Valley football race this year. For years I have heard how compelling and exciting Valley football is. So I try to follow it and there is nobody discussing Valley ball, nobody flaming or trash talking. It is like the season never came. As I have kept my promise not to flame on your football parade, I am really left wondering what happened to Valley football this year?

So I'm supposed to hunt for this stuff on various websites? I'm not going to get it here? Interesting.

Yes john, I know its hard to believe, but every topic in sports doesn't happen to take place at the 3 month old MVC basketball message board.

I really hope you aren't serious, because I was serious about following Valley football this year. And for the record, the football forum was plenty busy before the start of the season and there were plenty of threads to inform. So the three month excuse doesn't hold water. I didn't ruin this forum, I didn't troll any football conversations, in fact, I've tried to facilitate discussion, so that isn't the reason. Where are the NDSU fans? They were here early. Where are the UNI fans? Saluki fans?

Man up and have some discussions, guys!

Many of the Valley football fans are wondering what's happening in Valley football this year, themselves.
The preseason favorites have stumbled in the first half of the season. And many of the teams that have traditionally been towards the bottom of the standings, have gotten some surprising wins.

Though really, most football fans that feel like discussing Valley football already have plenty of places for such discussions, with other knowledgable football fans (either on their own boards, or on the national fcs boards), and don't feel the need to cater their discussions to basketball junkies. 8-)

Really? This must be a brand new trend because on every Valley "basketball junkie" board that preceded this one has been loaded with football banter. Even in the worst Valley board ever, football was a RELATIVE strong topic. And as for the amount of traffic that MVCfans has had, football was a very popular forum until the last three or four weeks.

As I mentioned in an earlier thread, I added a football forum at someone's request and I don't think half of the schools (ie, Western Illinois) know about this board. Or I least I know that I haven't posted on their boards to invite everyone. Also, the fact that some of the larger fan bases that participate on this new board - read, CU, WSU, BU - have no football teams probably contributes to the dearth as well.

No worries.. basketball season starts on Friday and I suspect the board will have some added activity as we prepare for the upcoming hoops season.
