Big Ten schools independent message boards

What are some of the other B1G schools independent message boards? I know of this one, Illinois, scUM and Nebraska. Fill in the others. I'd like to read the non-recruiting websites of our fellow conference schools and support them over the lame worlds that 247, Rivals and Scout have created.

Plus it'd be cool to let them know of tSwill since we are still flying under the radar.

Should we have blanch go over to each board to let them know we exist?

It would be nice if the UM fans started posting here. I am curious about how to get condiment stains out of white tank tops and how to get around blight ordinances.

Didn't you used to recruit skanks from allmsu? Does allmsu even exist any more?

Please do not recruit from the IU boards. I don't want their parole and probation officers reading this site, or getting tracked down and stabbed in the face for making a believe train joke.

Yes I did. Not sure if its still around but given the general increase in nerd population at Msu, I can't imagine it's dead

Maryland's main board may be at 247 which you all hate, but it's still pretty good. It actually used to be an independent forum back in the day just like this one.

InsideMDSports and Spartan Tailgate both used to be great. 247 made them both suck.

What sucks is our board used to have great free terps discussion, yet for some reason the owner decided to put everything behind a paywall after the move to 247. Sadly, it worked as most people subscribe now and the free board is a cesspool. The insider board is decent (great content/average posters) but I'm not willing to pay to get information I will find out a day later anyways.

Hey Moose, Buckyville is a Wisconsin board

My bad. Thanks. Fixed.

The SBNation sites do pretty solid numbers (I've seen the behind the scenes numbers for most of them, so this is first hand).

Here's a link to their boards (scroll down to Big Ten): http://www.sbnation.com/blogs

I believe Black Shoes Diary, Black Heart Gold Pants, Corn Nation, and Bucky's Fifth Quarter are all main blogs for those teams. Other ones (Maize n Brew, The Only Colors, Land-Grant Holy Land, Sippin' on Purple) do pretty solid numbers themselves.

EDIT: Their message board portion is in the way of "Fan Posts" and "Fan Shots" on the right hand side of the blogs.
