Other off topic type boards on rivals BIG edition

[Bank of Hawk]

Trying to kill time before the BIG championship game. I started perusing other off topic boards in the BIG, here is a brief rundown:

Nebraska:

Rivals.com

The definitive source for all Rivals news.

nebraska.forums.rivals.com

Pretty hopping over there with anti-vax it would make @shank hawk blush.

Penn state:

Current Events Board

A place for discussing non-PSU Athletics topics

bwi.forums.rivals.com

Not quite as far to the right as Nebraska but some strong anti Joe Biden circle jerks going on.

Ohio State:

Off-Topic Chatter

Want to talk about something other than Ohio State sports? Do it here and leave the Scarlet & Gray and Buckeye Forums to strictly sports.

ohiostate.forums.rivals.com

Ohio state’s has a left wing poster who probably has 50% of the posts, taking to himself or herself primarily kinda funny 😄!

Purdue:

Free Board: General Discussion Forum

Take it here when you want to engage fellow posters in discussion on off-the-topic matters like hockey, breakfast foods or anything else unrelated to Purdue sports.

purdue.forums.rivals.com

Purdue is similar to Penn State board, right wing dominates the posts over there.

Indiana:

Andy's Off Topic Forum

Want to talk about something other than IU sports or politics?

indiana.forums.rivals.com

Indiana’s board is lightly used with very little politics, more of a airhead suburban mom feel to the threads.

Rutgers:

Rivals.com

The definitive source for all Rivals news.

rutgers.forums.rivals.com

Rutgers pretty typical right wing circle jerk. Surprising because I figured that area being more left leaning.

No other BIG have an off topic board.

HROT by far has the most left wing posters. In fact, these off topic boards on rivals seem to be a cesspool of right wing conspiracy theories. The Jan 6th commission could probably identify quite a few simply by perusing rivals off topic boards.

I propose a vote to field trip one of these boards for a couple days, start our normal threads, interact with the locals and maybe being a few back to HROT. Field trip starts 1a tomorrow.

Interesting. I guess I'd expect that college sports dudes, which probably skew pretty hard towards middle age and white, would probably lean conservative.

Here's a dirty little secret: all blue states are actually red. The Big City dwellers who depend on government for their very existence are the only reason the blue states are "blue".

If you nuked Atlanta, Georgia would be deeeeeep red instead of purple.

If you nuked NYC, New York would be a red state, too.

You'd have to nuke two or more cities in California to turn California red, but they'd be red, too.

Indiana is a good place to post wouldja threads.. it's almost like they have never seen a half naked woman before.

Too be fair, they probably haven’t.

How much traffic does HROT get compared to the Main Board?

Strangely, big city dwellers are the biggest percentage of people in some areas. Another strange point, many big city dwellers pay huge taxes compared to rural dwellers.
Weird facts, right?

educate yourself. the states with the greatest dependency on and sucking hardest off the federal teet, are red states. this is not a new development. it's red state tradition.

If the electricity goes out at Tradition Manor, it's an inconvenience.

If the electricity goes out in NYC, it's a life-threatening emergency.

Try it for a month and see how inconvenient your suburban life is. You have no real backup, do you?
NYC pays their bills. How does Volusia County get its power?

But seriously, I've gone nearly two weeks without power after hurricanes.

It's sort of like camping after awhile.

Ok. So don’t you realize city dwellers do the same?

 

[The Tradition]

We'll all get banned as soon as we appear. It ain't like the old days of Rivals road trips.

Crush them. FSU will play them in the Soccer College Cup this weekend.
Go Noles!!

 

[The Tradition]

No. City dwellers do not have the resources for "camping"....

The first thing you need is a BBQ grill. That's probably banned in NYC.

The second thing you need is a deep freezer. They might have that, but probably not because city apartments are small.

The next thing you need is lots of ice. Well, frozen milk jugs full of water fits that bill, but you need a deep freezer for that. And then you'll need coolers for everything in the fridge. But no space for all that in a NYC apartment.

Now you're going to need fuel for your BBQ grill. Since no one has them in NYC apartments, there probably aren't many propane tanks or bags of charcoal in the city.

Then you're going to need some way to charge your devices. If you have a car, you can charge up your phone and your laptop, and use the phone as a WIFI hotspot. Yes, a generator works for this, too... but you can't have that in a NYC apartment, and you probably don't have a car, either. So, you're screwed.

I could go on....

Trad, just play this song for all those city dwelling, country life hatin’ bastards:

 

[billanole]

I went over to Rutgersville, but “Have no posting privileges“ there.
Noles soccer is in for a battle. Hopefully @Menace Sockeyes will help us be successful.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Yep Rutgers doesn’t allow viewing or posting. My second vote is Indiana. Probably Indiana seems to fit. Regular poster mix. I am also intrigued with their name, Andy’s Board, there must be more to that story.

 

[Tfxchawk]

Too be fair, they probably haven’t.

Some of them do have sisters ....

If you get banned visiting a board does the ban carry over to your home board?

You dwell in a strange world filled with falsehoods.
Only Volusia County boys know how to camp?
Most of your bullet points are suburban spawned and supportable only for a short while…

Not in the old days, but who knows after all the Rivals "upgrades"?

Well after that you need to start hunting and fishing. Good luck with that in NYC.

**** it, Indiana, Andy’s Off Topic Forum it is.

Good luck, Noles! If you do lose, our seasons will both have been ended by the same school. I saw them play the Hawks last time they were in Iowa City. Very well organized and absolutely the most tenacious defense I’ve seen from a college women’s team. They were on our attackers like white on rice anytime we’d get near their box. But if there’s a team that can do it, it’s FSU.

Why do Purdue graduates have sex with donkeys and various other wild life?

Do they do that to erase memories of that Purdue mascot guy getting all Bill Cosby with all the undergrads?

Those liberal "studies" don't take into account all the federal dollars ploughed into big city infrastructure. They're just looking at welfare dollars.
