Texags right after I graduated. Never post anymore, just like the recruiting updates.

This is the only place I check/post consistently.

It was either a local television station's Razorback sports board (KARK) or the Pigpen run by Booth Rand. WAAAY the hell back. Was in the mid 90's or so I think.

ETA - did a little research, the KARK board predated the Pigpen, Booth Rand was on the KARK board too and got banned so he started the Pigpen. So I guess the correct answer to 'my first message board' would be the KARK board.

Gamecockcentral.com

That's how I found out about this board.

And hell no, I quit with Gamecockcentral and let my membership lapse once I found this bountiful haven of goodwill and intellectually stimulating banter.

I posted there as well. I think Tiger Roar was my first sports message board though, late 90's.

A place called RollCrimsonTide.com and TheJetsBlog.com before it sold out. And the ESPN boards too.

I got to meet some former players a few year back at A-Day by just being a member of RollCrimsonTide, so that was neat for a young teenage me.

Gatorsports....all I remember is some discussion about gas prices or liquor or something, seemed a lot of no-sports discussions were common there. Long, long, long time ago. Don't post there. Not sure if it still exists.

I joined Scout Mississippi HS forum when eldest was just starting Mississippi HS football. As all the kids he played with graduated I started paying attention to the Scout Mississippi Senior College Board. Quickly learned it was one big "clique" that bashed tRant from time to time. So I came over and lurked for a good bit. Then when I finally said I was done being an impartial Mississippi SEC fan after Muffins pissed me off and sided with The Fake Christian I started posting over here.

Probably 12 or 13 years ago I joined the Scout.com message board network to post on their Alabama and Dallas Cowboys boards. The crowd over there is mostly older guys who are total homers, so you can't really have much football discussion. A few years ago I migrated over here and also to the reddit boards /r/cfb and /r/cowboys. Much better.

I can't remember if it was gatorsports or swampgas, but I was on a florida board back in the early 2000s as well and gatorprincess was on there. That was actually my first exposure to her, not on here. Then she was gatorprincess8 and wouldn't ever STFU about rex grossman.
