you've moved with us before ...

Welcome to the sixth and final home for Syracusefan.com. We'll be tinkering with the look and feel over the next week or two. Suggestions are welcome.

Why no warning? Is this site affiliated with Scout or any other similar type of site?

 

[Tom]

It isn't official yet. Probably a day or two.

Is it going to be affiliated with Scout, Rivals, etc.?

 

[Tom]

No more networks.

Are the big guns aware of this?

Are the big guns aware of this?

Most. I'll be handling the technology only, and the same Syracuse fans will be running the site. Ad revenue will pay the bills.

 

[orangepassion]

So it's going to be a free site?

yes.

Interesting. Just out of curiosity, do you know if any other schools have a similar type of site?

several. Gator Country is independent, but does have "premium content". hawkeyenation.com is a very similar set-up, and comparable size. I spoke with several sites to make sure this was feasible.

 

[orangepassion]

This sounds fascinating-Do you think this site has plans to get an SU writer and have "premium content"?

It may not be official yet, but using my old bookmark automatically sends me to the new site. I wonder if the same is happening to everybody?

I plan to spend the next two or three days working on the colors and layout. Thanks for the input.

I miss the recruiting prospects, etc.

I miss the recruiting prospects, etc.

Functional message boards is the first goal. There will be a "front page" set up soon.

Well, I hate Rutgers, and I've been a Syracuse football fan since I was a kid.

[sendithome]

You've chanted "Georgetown sux" at multiple generations of Thompsons.

 

[BlackKnight76]

This is my first site change. A bit exciting...I think? I like the layout and some of the options around here at least.

 

[jekelish]

Funny, I just stumbled across the new site due to the fact that I've always typed in "syracusefan.com" rather than whatever the Scout address is...

Same here. I have it bookmarked on my PC but I went to check from my phone and found it.
