What Division III sport should we add a board for next?

[David Collinge]

I think this board will stay up, yes.

Maybe, when the time is right, with a new poll?

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Yeah, I've been wanting to change my vote for a while now.

[Ron Boerger]

Me too.  Field Hockey needs some love. 

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Who voted for softball, they never even came up in the discussion did they?

[NYKnight]

Soccer needs a board, but why not all d3 sports?

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

NYKnight,


New name or did you steal OFS's picture?

NYKnight,

Not just OFS; I've seen that particular picture as an avatar for at least a half-dozen posters just on the 10-12 boards I frequent.  I'm not sure why that exact Bob Marley photo is so popular; my ignorance is probably due to my being tragically unhip (I even had to ask someone who it was!)

[Pat Coleman]

It's popular because it's one of the defaults offered on the board.

Why not all sports at once? Have to say I'm a little concerned about
1) Who would moderate these new boards?
2) Would they bring enough traffic to push the server over the edge on a busy football/basketball day?
3) Would they increase traffic consistently enough to increase our server costs?
4) Would there be enough ad revenue to offset that cost?

Those are the things I'm looking at.

Ahhhh.  Never noticed that before.  That accounts for all of the Bruce Willises too, and gave me some names to put to other faces I've seen (such as Limp Bizkit, whoever that may be!)

Funny nobody has picked Britney Spears, or maybe I just haven't noticed?

Futbol! (Soccer).
Softball would be fine, too.
I like LaCrosse, but too few play it to get many involved.

its one of the fastest growing sports in the country. and venture over to the laxpower.com forum, theres a lot of involvement over there

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Pat put up the lacrosse board already, so get over there and start posting, people.

The biggest reason I would like to see a XC/T&F board here is that there is a true appreciation for D3 on d3sports.com.

Many track and field boards (i.e. trackshark.com) have moderators who delete the D3 threads.  Many D1 folks feel threatened by the level of performance at many D3 schools and will rarely acknowledge their accomplishments.

There is no quality XC/T&F board that discusses all the D3 environment.  There are little pockets here and there.

please ...

Agree that T&F and XC are the essence of D3 sport. As a T&F caoch I appreciate that most of the good research and literature about the sport comes from D3/D2 coaches because they are the ones who have to develop talent instead of just recruit it. No particular knock against soccer but that many of us in smaller population areas view it as the enemy.

Submarine races were very popular in high school but now the periscope doesn't work as well soooo I would pick track and field.
