Yeesh. If I didn't know better, I'd guess this was a knitting circle.

I'm pretty excited about this. It has all the clues of something bigger going in that area if its a success, I can already see the Marching Band leading the fans to the stadium. Its almost less than a week until football... and those wacky Cornfest uniforms.

143% of this board is complaints (GOD I HATE IT!) and the other 62% is bad jokes. That's just....well, that's what this place is.

Check out a game thread. Everyone becomes chicken little after a completed pass.

And the other 52% is people complaining about other people's complaints.

And the other 37% is made up statistics.

A very small percentage (.4%) of posts verify the facts of others.

Everything you're saying is true.

Agreed. I think it's going to be really great.

Everything you're saying is true.

Additionally, 78% of conversations become sidetrack by the second page of the thread about an arbitrary observation.

Of those tangents:
- 50% go on to discussions on how to get P5 teams into Huskie Stadium
- 20% are about how to improve attendance
- 10% are about how we are better than any other team in the state
- 8% are about why can't the basketball team be as good as the football team
- 5% are about how the media messes up our name
- 4% are about a hatred of Jerry Kill/other past coaches not named Novak (this number has decreased recently)
- 4% are about Molly's/the Grotto
- 12% are arbitrary stats that don't add up to 100%
