What is your opinion of this board? What needs to happen to make it better? I do not care about growing it but what is going to get more people posting on the board?

I use the board mainly for info and to see how Bearcat fans feel about the programs. I believe there should be room for debate and contrary opinions from those that support the program. With that said I don't like that non UC fans can spend so much time on this board. I understand that in the week before a game opposing fans show up, that can be fun. What I don't understand is how a fan of an opposing team can find so much time that they can constantly be on this board year round hijacking threads. Are they truly worried about what we think of their programs?

Apparently KC is a friend to many on the board but the constant bashing of the program by someone that is not vested in the program is not enjoyable and has turned me off to many a thread. I'll give him this, I know he is an X fan and makes no effort to hide that. That is almost better than the poster that says "I am a UC fan but ......." and you know that he is anything but a UC fan

Get rid of Ralph, BearcatMick, and KC and this board will immediately become 10x better.

Incorrect. Kc is the problem not me or Ralph

If the senior moderator would step down

I don't mind Bearcat Mick or Ralph. Every board needs homers. What we can do without is any eggs-avier fan. The only time to hear from them is during the week of the game, which should actually go to the smack board. Their opinion is biased and useless for anything UC, imo.

It has been my observation that new posters can get dumped on, that might make people who otherwise would post, decide not to.
This board appears to an outsider to be a closed club, with self appointed enforcers that crack down on anything that they don't consider appropriate without giving new posters the benefit of doubt or the chance to show where their loyalties lay. Obviously, this isn't true of all and the moderators do not indulge in this type of behaviour, but they don't come to the defense of a new poster either. - IMHO

Bearcatmick and Ralph are just on repeat contributing nothing whatsoever and KC is just an instigator that takes rational conversations and somehow creates an argument about the crosstown shootout.

If all three were gone, the threads would run much more smoothly.

There is a smack board? Please tell me which board that is, I haven't found it.

 

[Kingsley Court]

All this board needs is SWG back.

Also, why would you guys want to ban the smartest college basketball poster here? I am the Back2Back bearcattalk NCAA tournament challenge champion.

Thanks for the feedback fellas, except for LivingLegend who may be on his way out.

KC, Ralph, Mick.... There is a common theme here.

I thought there was, guess not. My bad. I think it would be time to create one for those interested in talking smack. I'm not one of those people. I don't see the benefit in visiting other teams' boards that I do not root for and in some cases, despise. But... to each their own. There just has to be a proper place for it, imo.

I started posting in the first Marquette board of this year. I really like it. Great to see varying views of opinion that have changed mine in some instances.

Other than general Bearcats banter, I would say that I come here for recruiting and other inside information. The recruiting info is great and any frustration simply comes from Obekpa not making a decision. I do wish we would have been able to get more info on the latest Ellis situation. It seems like people knew about it but weren't saying anything. But that'st just one small example.

Have to echo the statements that a few posters on here seem to just be playing a role at all costs and posting to get a rise out of people. Ralph's posts might as well just say the same thing every time: "The Bearcats are the best. They never do anything wrong and whatever the issue is, no matter how ridiculous, the Bearcats are not at fault and will unreasonably succeed on every level." It's old.

Bearcat Mick is Ralph's second account.

Kingsley Court must have been on a hiatus for awhile. He's a huge toolbox and at least Ralph/Mick are in support of something.

I basically don't read their posts anymore since they bring nothing to the table. When a thread has a post by these three, it is indeed annoying to have to figure out what other posters are replying to their nonsense...and who is providing good quality information.

The problem here is, every single poster agrees on everything. For example, everyone believed that nothing would come from the bouncer incident, and everyone jumped all over the bouncer right away. Everyone thought the bouncer was just looking for a story, making it up. Then, the truth comes out and a player is kicked off the team.

Because everyone here agrees on everything, most threads last about a page or two TOPS. There is nothing else to be said, because then you are just saying the same thing over and over again.

Oh, also, I am the back to back champion on this board, you should really read what I have to say. I know my college basketball.

You can provide you input. You can do it in a way that is easy to respond too and not looking just to get a rise or you will go to the land of charlesbarkley2

This is a problem, why is this ok, seriously f'ing annoying.

I think the thing this board needs most is keeping threads on track. I have no problem with a fan of another team posting, it's just those like KC derail every thread to some smack talk or off topic. It totally ruins the good discussion that was going on based on the topic. If he just wants to talk trash create a trash talking thread. I love the info and the insight on this board but posts like KC's that derail threads totally and sometimes Ralph and Mick do the same.

All 3 of their games get tired after a while. I come here to get good bearcat info, and talk UC, not argue which team in the city has the bigger........

Just my 2 cents.

 

[BearcatMick]

The board is fine. This is a non issue

 

[Lobot]

Personally I think the board needs more discussion threads on knock off designer handbags from China.

Seriously guys if your worst problems are KCourt and Ralph(x2) then the board is running pretty smoothly IMO. I've been there and seen way worse at BCN.
