I'm typically one who likes to visit opposing message boards during game week to compare their opinions to our own. I got to thinking... What fanbase actually has a comparable or even better board than CF? I would argue we have the best setup in the B12 but I have limited exposure to anything else in CFB besides the Hok cesspool.

I go to other sites like you do, and the only one I think is even close is the 247 site for
Texas. They have active boards and do a lot of podcasts. The other thing I like is they have a daily thread that just covers what is going on that day and then start a new one the next morning.

If you go there, expect a lot of arrogance and a little bit of ignorance when it comes to their discussion of opponents.
 
I stopped by the Nebraska Rivals site last year after one of their many hilarious losses. Realized that I was logged in to comment with my IowaPreps account. Naturally I commented "Nebraska sucks" in a thread. I got banned in about 15 minutes.

Nebraska hates the truth

when i see an opponent message board that requires payment i move along. CF is the best, by far. Active, knowledgeable, and free (I do pay per month - it's worth it).
Yeah, I'm not going to pay to support another fanbase. I will browse sometimes, but I don't ever post in them, even the free ones.

My favorite is Tigerboard.com; Subtle color theme, Innovative layout. Tough to beat.

phog.net (247 site) for KU is really good for basketball. Football, about what you'd expect.
 
Overall, particularly for the community dimensions that undergird the site, there is nothing even close to CF with any other institution!
 
I only go to opponents message boards after losses. Their pain makes me feel better about myself. I need more comedy in my life
 
I miss the old Shaggy Bevo. Was a little NSFW back in the day but there were some really funny guys posting there.

I occasionally pop into and post on The Gopherhole, mostly for the WBB stuff since I follow that team casually. It's similar in tone to CF. More ******** on their WBB forum than on ours though. Think that's related to going Sweet Sixteen, Final Four, Sweet Sixteen 15 years ago and than sort of tanking.
