I am a huge college hoops fan living in NYC. Born and raised in CT. This year I expect SDSU men's hoops to be a Top 10 team for most of the year.
Over the last several years I have posted on several message boards. Is this the only message board that SDSU basketball fans have at their disposal to share thoughts with other fans? UConn has the Bone-Yard and other teams like Tennessee ect...have great boards for the fans to discuss without commingling all sports on 1 board.
If this is all you guys have (disorganized) for a board I could help create something different for you. This years SDSU hoop team could be very special. Let me know.
Thanks!

This guy rules.
What's he's really trying to say:
"SDSU bball is about to blow up even more and perhaps you need a more organized forum moving forward to deal with the increased attention, and I can help you."
There are other boards around, but this one has the highest number of registered users.

If it's organized, it ain't SDSU.

Basically he is saying our board sucks because we don't have separate forums for hoops, football, etc. This is a debate that has come up over the years and the consensus was to have one spot for all of our sports. If you are a school like UCONN or UNLV, I can see how you wouldn't want to read about football (i.e. filter out to basketball only).

This is so much better than UNLVs Scout board

This is so much better than UNLVs Scout board I actually think this may be a UNLV troll, the poster is supposedly 45 years old and it would be 2 am in Connecticut and NYC (when the post was made).

I understand we are in the "dead" period right now, so a counter argument can easily be made. Take a look at the total number of threads in this combined forum (~18k). To put that in perspective, Auburn's Scout football forum has over 100k. The Tarheel's basketball forum has over 63k and even their football forum has 28k and they blow at football. Of course those are much larger fanbases with forums that have been around a lot longer. This board only recently started after the great migration from AztecTalk so 18k is pretty decent for a couple of years. But there is no need just yet for separate boards. Once the traffic warrants it then absolutely.

This board will liven up whenever I decide to start posting on a regular basis again.

A UNLV fan of all people should not be trolling about boards. Rebelnet is a ghost town and I can't locate any other boards with real traffic either.

Once the traffic warrants it then absolutely. I understand what you're saying, and not only do the teams you mentioned have larger fan bases, they have national brand power to go with it. I'm not saying we need to change our board based on one east coaster's opinion (if he's not a troll), but I agree with him that the SDSU national brand is about expand and this forum will feel it. With that said, perhaps, splitting sports into separate forums is not a bridge we need to cross just now. Still worth to keep in mind moving forward, though.

I think he'll have his hands full with the new "probation" and "lost recruits" threads at his own board.
"I think I can help you", what a douche!

There are other boards around, but this one has the highest number of registered users. That sums up my intent in a nutshell. Very well articulated and precise. If my team had the best returning backcourt in America (Franklin, Tapley, Thames & Rahon) I would want an organized board dedicated specifically to a team with a great chance to be in ATL the weekend of April 6th. My simple point is it is harder to navigate around this forum than others. It is not meant to insult anyone. I love your team this year. Obviously I need a second team to root for since my team is banned from every tournament known to mankind this year! LOL Thanks for clarifying bro...

"I wish I could help create something better for you" is what I actually said. LOL Which means if I wanted to help contribut$ in some way to creating something just for hoops I would help. If you like everything the way it is cool. I have no doubt the moderators and coordinators of this site do an incredible job. Try not to be so judgmental. You have 1 HELL of a team to follow this year. Take it as a compliment. I know my basketball.

I wish I could help create something better for you. Nothing personal, but GET LOST. Lots of people here (for example, any number of SDSU students) could create something "better." I'm not the moderator but I'm sure they'd approve of me telling you that THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO SELL YOUR SERVICES, nor is it a place to evaluate your market potential. The only product spam advertisement this board endorses is NEW ERA HATS. Fair enough so the point is? You would prefer not to have a separate men's hoop board? I find that hard to believe considering I was at The Honda Center for the UConn vs SDSU Regional semi in 2011. This is a great fan base.

I will forever hate Uconn for the Kemba flop It was a flop he told me himself. Genius move though right? Changed the whole game 1 play. Franklin is a better player for it today. This year he could be cutting down the nets.

There are some that are BB only but many like both and polls over time have borne out a strong preference for combined. Thanks for your positive thoughts and interest, many here are on guard because we get a lot from other schools that have hidden intents. I hope we can get in a tradition of home/homes with UConn hoops. That would be awesome. Best to you. Sent from my DROID RAZR using proboards
