Yearning For A Big Game Thread Turnout Tonight

by Dr. Charley West on Oct 30, 2009 2:26 PM EDT in Game Thread

Guys, the game threads posted here at The Smoking Musket have the chance to a be a big-time affair. Other schools often have hundreds and hundreds of comments, creating a real-time discussion of the game, as it happens. That rarely happens outside of message boards, and let's be honest, message boards are where logic goes to die.

TSM is better than that, and I would love to see what our community can do when it really embraces the game thread. Plus, the comments will be featured at the top of sbnation.com (click on NCAAF at the top, above the scores), so you know there will be a lot of exposure.

So, be on the lookout for tonight's game thread, which will be posted three hours before game time (approximately 5 pm) You can comment on the website or on your mobile phone via http://mobile.smokingmusket.com/. Make sure to show up early, give your pre-game thoughts, check in throughout the game, and then watch for post-game updates.

Sincerely,

Just looking at L'ville's fan site...

well over a hundred comments for the Cincy/Louisville thread….

Mind you a lot of those are complaining about Kragthorpe… but please tell me we can do better than Louisville.

Some schools get well over a thousand...

Here is a link to one of Texas’s game threads. And that’s just the 2nd half. Now, we’re not Texas, but we can at least get into triple-digits.

info

coming from the pensburgh blog to here was quite a shock and a bit disheartening. our typical game time thread over there is around 650 comments. playoffs into the 1000 range. i agree bring the noise and turn the musket into a true community rather then an arm chair qb blog it is now. everyone says well i would have done x about two days after the game…who cares where were you during the game?

Key tonight...

will be containing the DE’s and keeping them off balance. I hate to bring this up but the middle screen that killed us against Auburn could be very big tonight. Let the DE’s penetrate and then get it to Devine in the middle and let him turn the corner not having to worry about Selvie or Pieereeererererere or whatever his name is.
