Does MU have a fanboard on Rivals.com? This is a good board but need more interaction with other MU fans.

Chez, I actually started this board (on my own dime) a little over a year ago because there was only one other board that any Mercer people went to, and it was mostly to talk about basketball. It averaged about 3 comments a week only during basketball season. We've eclipsed their membership by a ton in a short amount of time.
Traffic will pick up as the football games get started and there are more things to actually discuss week to week. Unfortunately when a school only has 4000ish undergrads and 65,000 living alumni, it's not a massive base. And it's not really a school that non-Mercer people are going to talk about. Unless it's the two weeks after you beat Duke in the NCAA tournament. lol
Feel free to search around, but unless my research is inaccurate, this is it.

Robert Morris University is, at present, the ONLY FCS School that I see with a FanBoard on Rivals.com. Maybe they are ahead of the curve or maybe there's a reason why 120+ FCS Schools don't have their message boards there. |

Also, Chez, I recommend you check out some of the FCS boards if you want to mix it up more often. FUBeAR and I both frequent www.anygivensaturday.com a site dedicated to FCS football that frequently has SoCon topics. Also, we will hang out on other SoCon teams boards. You can find all of them usually by just Googling "samford message board" or "furman message board" or whatever. |

I think 38 is on AGS too...he's just keeping his ID secret and uses a different name...the Poster that I think is him is way more caustic over there than our 38 is here. |

Also, make sure, if you are going to mix it up on AGS, you go in with both barrels loaded. Some very knowledgeable and long time FCS/SoCon fans on that board and they'll let you have it. lol

I actually thought it was automatically published to Tapatalk because I upgraded this forum from one of the free boards to a subscription level. However, after some investigation, we have Tapatalk available but I have to go through an approval process that I wasn't aware of. I've submitted the necessary documentation and I'm supposed to know if they've approved my Tapatalk access request in the next 2-5 business days. I will keep you posted on the approval decision and if all goes well, you can start accessing the site via the Tapatalk app on your mobile device soon.
Thanks for the heads up.

So...I've seen Tapatalk 'pushed' at me by various Boards, but I have no idea what it is/does. Without being too techie.....What it is? What it do? |

How can we help you offset some expenses for this? |

It's basically just an app that pulls you into the message board. It more optimized for mobile so it looks/performs better than simply typing in the board website address and using a browser. |
