Maybe if there were like at least 100 unique posters posting every day, then yes.
Are you telling me... that we have fewer posters than Houston? Because they seem to do just fine with 3 main forums. Ftbl, BBball, and Baseball.

You could always hi-jack the world wide soccer forum. There hasn't been a post in there since December. I am sure the soccer fans wouldn't mind.

RE: It is becoming apparent that we will soon need separate football and basketball
Why do I get the feeling that some BB fans are BB only and want to crowd out football in here. If you have to weed thru piles of BB nut hugging you eventually lose interest. Giving it a separate forum gives it legitimincy. Something the BB only crowd does not want. Why else would they cry foul every time it comes up?

RE: It is becoming apparent that we will soon need separate football and basketball
I admit that I'm more of a football guy and it would be nice to have a separate forum to talk Tiger football. I'd be tempted to post more often in a Tiger football forum since the topics would be specific and tailored to that audience.

What about a separate football forum scares you exactly?

Nothing. I am the one who suggested hijacking the world wide soccer forum since no one uses it.

BB crowd has no say on it. Your issue is with the mods. I suggest leaving the pot alone if it causes those symptoms.

I wish both the basketball-only and football-only crowds would both go F themselves.

and make no mistake, they both exist
but I'd say there are far more football "first" and basketball "first" folks who prefer one sport but root for both
the person who initially coined the term basketball only's rarely posts here anymore...if you have been part of this message board community for a long time, it's easy to figure out where posters' preferences lie

That's a completely wrong. The Mods have no say in making a separate forum. That's an administrator decision, which would be made according to the wishes of the particular community. That's way Houston's domain has separate forums, and ours does not.

Yeah ok, admin decision. The BB crowd is most certainly not stopping it from happening.

Bull5h!t. The admins would add/split/rename a forum if the Memphis fan base wanted it. "The BB crowd" is part of the voting block, so to speak.
Look, I will accept that it's not going to happen, but let's call a spade a spade. This is because "The BB crowd" wants basketball to retain/return to its hierarchical position as top dog. Because "this is a basketball school." Because "basketball turns a profit, football is a net loser." etc.
