I agree with all comments, CougarCorner is MUCH better. I would love to see more posting and banter, but maybe there is nothing to discuss?

There are quite a few former cougar corner posters over on cougarboard. They couldn't get along with prominent posters on this board. One in particular that drove off a ton of people posts exclusively there now, which is ironic.

It got pretty heated in the Heaps/Nelson era. The pro and anti Bronco stuff gets pretty vitriolic too.

That poster is on CB now but he gets drowned out.

The problem is that, in the off-season, it's almost impossible to have quality and quantity. You can talk about things that are actually going on or speculate about things that could actually likely happen (quality) or you can bs, call each other names, rehash Heaps V. Nelson, hate on coaches, and make ludicrous predictions/assumptions/accusations (quantity).


I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

Should be easy enough to discuss interviews held on ESPN960 as well as byutv Sports Nation...Do you agree with Brian Logan if Mitch Mathews is an elite receiver or if Algie Brown set to make a huge impact (no pun intended).

Could it be that the parochial voting system has also been a turn off to some?
I mean it's really turned into a place where if you get along with the mods life is better. Almost like it's an exclusive club of bros who just want to chat with each other and scare others off.

That said, I'm still grateful for the overall solid, if not amazing site, that this is compared to other sites. I know that sounds like both sides of my mouth. It's a tough balance.

I also think the OP represents what I am also feeling-- that pre-pre-season desire for some Cougar football. The summer is here. Camp is 60+ days away. It's near and I can't wait to hear about the team and players.

Maybe Scott or whoever should start up the hardest opponents rankings system.

1st to Cougar Corner and when it's a ghost town and I'm starving for information (usually because there really isn't any) I look at Cougar Board but only about 1 out of 10 topics is interesting and that's during the season. Right now it's more of a ghost town then here if your looking for actual cougar sports discussion.

Keep fighting the good fight Hawk. If we can get back to a 10 win caliber team we might see some fans on CC and in LES. :)
...or past the first round in the ncaa's.

I for one am a big fan of CC. I do miss some of the old regular posters and the good-natured back and forth banter. I can't imagine anyone would take any of this seriously enough to be offended to the point where they feel that they couldn't post here. I also appreciate the tweets and links to news articles. Carry on the good cause Hawk!

CC is awesome!

It's the off season. I'd rather things go quiet then endless circles and debates on the same things over and over.

And, for the record, I like the pluses and minuses, allows people to partcipate without having come up with a thesis and defend it.
