These rankings are quite suspect. What criteria was used?
ND sucks
All rankings are suspect, except our own.

Boom. Banner should also once again read "Beat Duke"
This should help recruiting

Sorry, I don't know how to post links, but I cut and pasted some exerpts from a similar story I found online:
The 20 colleges with the best message boards
There's a number of ways students and alumni can show pride in their school, but nothing shows school spirit quite like their team's message board.
Whether it's for a basketball, football, or a smaller niche sport, students celebrate their schools by making grandiose predictions, analyzing recruits, critiquing rivals and providing common-sense advice to the coaching staff. They start chats long before the games start and dwell on the ups and downs of the game far longer than the average fan.
Keep reading for the 20 message boards with the most school spirit:
1) West Virginia University BlueGoldNews.com on Scout - Mountaineers love BGN for its balance of academics and athletics. One student describes it: "There's nothing like singing 'Country Roads,' playing the Banjo, and spending time on BGN."
11) Dayton University UDPride –Dayton fans have a top-flight message board, and use it to provide accurate, thought provoking insight into their Team's and Conference's hierarchy among the national collegiate elite.
19) University of Wisconsin Buckyville – Self-proclaimed elite message board in the state. Unusual fascination with in-state rivals.
On the Bubble:
2) Marquette University Scope – Insightful posters, pertinent topics, lightly moderated, but an unusual fascination with chili, sweatervests and various forms of poetry that do not rhyme. They also tend to ban high-volume posters with strong basketball skills and coaching wisdom.

Where can I find MU Scope? Sounds delightful ;D
I can buy in to whomever came up with this article - they've spent enough time here to drop an entire region of entrants in the Meme Tournament all in one brief tidbit.
I want nothing to do with anything called MU Scope.
I don't mind the ranking and the decent pub and all, but probably about as accurate as who the biggest party schools are or the most physically fit cities, etc...

My back friggin hurts. Would some posters please step their games up and help me to get Scoop off the bubble? I'm tired of having to do all the GD heavy lifting myself around here.

awewsome!
Kudo's to UDPride for maintaining even though they have cutoff new registrations.
Scope is an also ran? Clearly, the moderators aren't very good motivators or in-thread coaches. The talent is here, they are just using it wrong.
We only start the easy threads.
I think a poster in the past has compared Scope to jazz and I tend to agree.
Creative | Improvising | Impulsive | Feeding off each other to create something great - like Lincoln Center on a Saturday night.
That's like 5% of the time - the other 95% is more like your local Jazz club where a bunch of 'musicians' coming off their day job play the same damn notes over and over again making every song & solo sound the same. Usually you are forced to pound your drink and head home just after the music starts.

I gave Dodds a verbal but ended up with Scoop when they
agreed to pick up the bill for hookers and blow talked about the role I could play in the Scoop community.
I know the mods showed up at my house at midnight in limos.

Did they flush the toilet or have an assistant do it?
Yes. And after I committed, they cried and prayed with me. Then, after I successfully made my first post, they stopped the board and again prayed with me.

When I was on mu official visit to Scoop, a couple of scholarship Scoopers took me out drinking, and I had to have my stomach pumped.

Only because he played mind games with Chicos.
You can't judge scoop posts for five years, ai'na?
My older brother in the NBA pays my annual Scoop fees.

I almost want to do it just to declare "It's Scout! It's Scout!" and you can refer to me as ISIS forever
Damn, Rocky only offered me a preferred walk on spot
This thread has some serious potential...
I think it would do Sultan some good if we redshirted him.

Rocky adopted me. He walks around the house in a Karategi.
They had me at ATV's and karate outfits.

It's not called Rocked anymore or even banned, offending posters are now scooped out...

The Spanish O'Donnells wrote me a song, "I've been thinking about you (a real lot)."
I was sold on scoop right then!
