Creating a dozen different threads to talk about the Heisman trophy is an interesting way to "streamline".

Pointless criticism... But thanks.

If I had to chose I would rather read 10 individual yet similar threads about sports related topics as opposed to 10 pages of a circle jerk thread.

I get that - but the one 10-page thread is a lot easier to avoid than the dozen+ threads that jbills has started. Most of the regular users browse by using the new/active posts buttons. The top ten threads are all jbills threads - and they are all on one topic. College football. And the majority of the threads he starts only have one short sentence. He isn't even contributing anything of substance in any of the threads.

Perhaps next baseball season we can have an individual thread for every single Cubs and Sox games too, that doing a thread for the entire series is so lame. People cannot really find the relevant information in them.

And maybe during the tour de france we can have a thread for each individual winner as well

What we need is a thread for every possible candidate for every award in MLB.

Topic: Roy Halladay - Cy Young candidate
Post #1: He used to pitch in Canada. What say you?


Topic: Dale Sveum - candidate for manager of the year
Post #1: Not as bad as the last bald manager, am I right?

Maybe a shoutout thread for ever one of CGS' immediate family, extended family, distant family, friends of family, relatives of friends of family, circle of friends, people that live down the block from circle of friends' 3rd grade teacher's childhood neigbor's grandparents.

Excellent. This could really be a complete reformation of the board right here. Instead of the drinky thread, we need a separate thread for every individual drink that people are having.

First - CGS has never started 6 threads in an hour. And hers are ridiculed, rightly so most times. So jbills deserves the same treatment for this crap.

And next year I want an individual thread on every different NASCAR driver.

Ideally there would be a "championship week" thread and a "Heisman thread" where all discussion on these topics could take place. The first post would then break down all of the games and all of the candidates in a very shark like fashion. While the topics will most likely be discussed anyways, the current configuration of individual threads is not ideal.

When the games are actually on sometimes individual game threads pop up and turn into a mock game chat. That is the only purpose I can see these serving but then again those pop up with the game usually, not a week in advance.

If she hasn't dropped 6 worthless threads in an hour she has gotten damn close.

Some people just hold grudges... That's all this is... Whiny. Insecure... Im sorry for trying to give fans of dif conferences somewhere to post their thoughts...? Gay.

What are we holding "grudges" about?

You tell me.. Seems like some extra hate, or people are just plain too lazy for the board index button... Either way, sad... Equating someone trying to bring more attention to college football to someone babbling about tabloids and grocery store checkout violence is comical.

I don't understand why this concept is so difficult. Some people like the big ten, some like the sec, some only follow the huskies,s ome just like college football. Why make these people look thru 10 pages of nonsense for a score or comment about their fav conference or team?
