Poll of the Week Wants to Know About a Potential Message Board

So because it got bumped down by a few other posts, the commenting on my latest Speculation Tuesday was a little underwhelming. So I'm going to solicit some opinions via a poll. I hope you'll take the time to vote, and comment, on this so that I know people's opinions about adding a message board to the blog.

Anyway, last week I asked: "Who would you like AU to play in the quarterfinals?"

It turns out, I should've added Navy to that list because there's a good chance we'll be playing them in the first round. Well, I didn't. Ah well. Here are the results from last week:

Bucknell
2 (4%)
Colgate
17 (39%)
Holy Cross
8 (18%)
Lafayette
16 (37%)

I have to say I agree. We definitely either want Lafayette or Colgate. No one wants Bucknell. AU never wants Holy Cross (even in a down year). I think this is the order in which we'd want to play other the other available teams: Lafayette, Colgate, Navy, Holy Cross, Bucknell.

Pro deo et patria and GO EAGLES!

  1. One question about the message board: do any other PL schools have message boards as active as Cross Sports? I've looked at it a couple of times and I would love to see something similar, but I haven't heard of any similar thing from the military acadamies, the PA Lib Arts, etc.

    One thing to think of also is what to do about anonymous posting. We voted to keep it around (I think?), but we may not be able to do that with a message board.

    Anyway go Eagles!

  2. None of the other schools have a board as active as CROSSPORTS. In terms of volume of comments our site is probably the second most active.

    When I look at the board, I will make sure to try to keep anonymous functionality. I'm sure that's an option
