PurplePower, if you will check out the different athletic's sites in the Links category you will see none of them, I think, have fan forums listed on their home pages. Sometimes things are said and pictures posted on these fan forums that I'm sure the majority of these schools would just soon not have their named mentioned with in the same breath.
I do a little lurking on some of the SEC schools and found them out by word of mouth. Not to say that it doesn't exist but I don't ever recall seeing fan forum boards listed in print anywhere when it comes to being advertised in newspapers, etc.. You don't seem to be new to fan forum boards so maybe you understand what I'm trying to say. Without any sponsorships on this board it is virtually and financially impossible to promote this site to the public.
We are our own and best advertisers for this site. Within this present school year we have initiated our "official" tailgating group, are sponsoring a hole at the baseball golf tourney this coming Friday, and on the call-in show after the football games there has been some promotion by the KUCA crew.
So tell your sport's nut friends about UCAFANS.COM and tell them to join in. I've always been told word of mouth is the best form of advertising anyway. Looking forward to your postings about the Bears.
