The Cult of I-AA: Searching for Lois on I-AA Message Boards
Good article about the use of college football message boards, especially the idea of anonymity of posters and being able to stir the pot with rivals. Almost sounds like it was written about the likes of our own beloved bearbac in parts.

...he says as he posts on another team's message board just to taunt...bearBAC wrote:gotta love this part
“Here’s to you, Mr. Marauding Internet Fan of Another Team. You are such a fan of your team that you go on another team’s message boards just to taunt and cheer about your boys. You fuel border wars and split friendly relationships between institutions of higher learning asunder. You are the Gremlin that mucks up the works. You are that guy, the one who has posted 7,838 messages, some of them just three words long or one smiley face barfing on another smiley face. Thank you for making I-AA college football special. This Bud’s for you.”
