10X better than the Rivals mainboard
I don't know, I like Sound-off. I should give the Mainboard a try though.
It's a damn good board. It's not just football talk it's discussion about all things. (example: there is a Breaking Bad thread, a tornado thread, a golf thread, etc.) It is mostly made up of the big BCS fans. (not really a surprise) but they are a decent amount of non AQ fans.
It has a few trolls (TheHebrew1, topsuite) but most posters are pretty good.

RE: To any USM fan paying for the Rivals pay site....
Both have positives and negatives. The big difference for me is that Mixon is at least at practices and sporting events. White lives in Tennessee. So I'd check myself calling someone illiterate because they are from Tennessee writing for BGN. White is in TN too.

Drew is doing a great job with the Scout site. If you want great USM coverage, you'll find it there for sure.
BTW, I like how several BGN regulars have popped up in this thread to defend the site. BGN got lazy. Drew turned up the heat at the right time. Having been a member of both, there is no comparison. Scout wins hands down.
Agree 81. Mixon got lazy and ignored his subscribers. Drew works his tail off and is doing a great job. BGN is the established pay board and I sure don't blame anyone for being loyal to that board, but I will say if they just try Drew's board for one month, they will be pleasantly surprised.
I don't think he got lazy, I think he started his new job as a Supervisor of whatever county he lives in and it took him longer than he thought it would to get up to speed.
As for ef81, "I like how several BGN regulars have popped up in this thread to defend the site." I'm sure you'd prefer we sat quietly and let you trash BGN, but I for one can verbally support Lanny and BGN without being an @ss about the Scout site, something some of you Scouters in this thread can't seem to do. Maybe you're some of the riffraff Lanny had to ban for constantly insulting fellow Golden Eagle fans? Seems to fit the tone of your posts on this thread.
I can assure you I wasn't banned. Never got in trouble over there. Quit paying because I wasn't getting anything in return.
I don't care what Lanny's reason was. He quit doing what I was paying for, so I quit giving him money.
