I don't know what the Bama chat boards are like, but it seems to me that if my desire to discuss football went beyond what VolNation could offer, maybe I would go to a board of another team I ENJOYED watching. I have never, ever had the desire to go to a Florida, Georgia, or Alabama forum to discuss football. I wouldn't tell anybody to leave this board that wasn't blatantly trolling/flaming, but I don't understand why other fans would come here seeking non-biased discussion. If that's really what you want out of this board...well, these are the kind of discussions that occasionally go on around here, so you should really just learn to look past it. If you want to be a regular contributor, most will be glad to have you around.
Their site has the distinction of being the first site with the ability to accept crayon generated posts. Tuscaloosa is now referred to as the "Silicon Valley of Alabama", very similar to referring to Knoxville as the seat of higher learning in Tennessee.
