College Football General

ZooMass can make the jump to fbs because Krafty Bob Kraft gave them Gillette Stadium free-of-charge for (like) 5 years for every Saturday afternoon.

Seems like an awfully long way from Amherst. I know UCLA and UConn play 15-20 miles from campus but Foxborough is a lot farther away than that.

This was not about accomidating the students who don't bother to go to the games anyway. It was done mostly to accomidate the alumni who live in the Boston area.

How many casual fans in the Boston area, who weren't willing to make the drive to Amherst, are going to make the drive to Foxborough to watch their beloved Minutemen play Akron, Western Michigan, and Ball State?

Is that a fat guy or a guy and a midget?

[billy bob bocephus]

yes.....but maybe, no

DSL is a mod on every forum on this board (College football and all subforums). Ideally I'd also like to have another mod or two for each of the conference boards as well to keep things moving there as well.

Buttons? Do we get buttons?

[Dr. Strangelove]

I've added schedules to all the threads for the SEC, Big10, ACC, and Big12. Will slowly work on the rest

[10ac]

Well that's a start. Now get rid of the New Topic button in the B12.

Okay, let me check...I deleted the spambot's thread

[It's me Karen]

How do I select which threads I want to follow? When I click "View Unread Posts" I see all of them and there are a bunch I'd like to skip.

Thanks in advance.

For starters, I have the main Goat Pen page saved that shows all the forums. I click the forum I want to enter and the threads with new messages will show with a red Read New. Choose what you want to read by clicking Read New. If you click the thread title, you will go to the first post. If you've already read that thread you don't want to do that. After the thread is read, I either go to the bottom or top of the page and click where you want to go next: click the forum name to stay there or Home to see other forums. If the forum has new posts, on the main page the circle in front of the forum title will be bold read. I have many threads that I haven't clicked on and my system lets me choose what I want to read. I hope I explained this well enough.

Thanks Karen.

Carolina is going to whip some ass this year in football....

[aTm]

Cool, I guess.

Did I read that right? UNC had 9 players get drafted and yet only finished in the middle of the pack in the woeful ACC last year?

Are they the KY of college football?

[dave_rickart]

only if KY was third-place in their own division this past season....

keep in mind 5 of the 9 didnt get to play because they are cheating scum so it's not as bad as it seems. it's worse.
