Seems this Board is for non-PSU strings but I see non-PSU strings on the Lions Den Board.
Just wondering.

What is difference between this Board and the Lions Den

This version was the “free board” on the prior site. We are all charlatans, hooligans, and bunko-steerers over here.
This is the ALL.-KNOWING. BOARD. , which really says something since it’s free.
, which really says something since it’s free.This board doesn't talk about football, it's all movies/tv shows and obituaries with some nonsense mixed in. I don't know about the other board.

Makes sense.
That board gets inside information about a half hour before this board.
The offseason has been slow for football that's why we don't talk about football much....yet
A shelter for angry (mostly men) who have nowhere else to go...and even if they did...no one would care what they think or have to say. ..I can accept that this describes me...how about you?
It seems to me the Lions Den staff engage in discussions much more than they do here. That's understandable considering it's a $$$ site and that's what pays the bills. The staff does contribute to free site discussion but on a much smaller scale. I think more of their time is spent taking out the trash.
“What is difference between this Board and the Lions Den”
Duh. The obvious answer is, “We Are Better.”

I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would accept me as a member.
This board has Midnighter polls...enough said!
And yet you are one of the named morons above. Took you types longer to respond than I thought.
This board utilizes the like button more than the Lions Den does.
Yes, but we have somehow lost the sig pics of psuro....
This board knows, miraculously, everything there is to know about coaching all elements of football!...What's truly mind-boggling is that this board and it's members develop this knowledge without ever actually stepping foot on a football field, or ever actually coaching a game. Amazingly, all this vaunted info never seems to make its way to the offices of the current football staff. They, for whatever unknown reason, have no interest in knowing how to beat Michigan, State, and OSU every year when to do so, all they would have to do was read this site. And it's FREE!
This is us...
And this is the Lions Den...

Good question. I cancelled my .99 cent subscription because I was afraid I would forget to do so later. I really didn't see much benefit in accessing the Den. It seems staff created threads about their articles and would occasionally engage in conversations about said articles. Topics seemed more focused on Penn State sports, but seemed a lot of duplication here and there.
I'm de-emphasizing PSU football in my life, so I will also be cutting back on time here. I will probably show up to witness the inevitable meltdowns.
This board is the Exclusive Home of Fairgambit Worldwide Enterprises, the unquestioned leader in poor quality, high priced merchandise. Also, I have it on good authority that Diane Lane lurks here because she finds the conversation scintillating.
It is one of the great tragedies of our time.
It just won't be the same with the retirements of Eric and Sandy.Deemphasizing PSU football.
Ten years ago when I really cared about PSU football I would have loved this version of The Lion's Den. But, I also loved it ten years ago when recruiting information and insider crap at PSU was dealt in much more meager amounts. It's almost too much these days. You can tell the overall interest in the program is waning since fewer people commented on a new recruit verbal thread than the new Top Gun movie thread. I know some members love to follow and post about recruiting and football, but with NIL, the portal, and poor play the past couple of years, it's just not as interesting or exciting to me. There are more articles about Joey Porter Jr.'s draft stock next year than there are articles about what he needs to do this football season. Yawn.

You make great points and I am very similar to you. I would add that I that this is not just here at good old state... i think it is prevalent with most large programs. With college football becoming more and more "semi-pro" every day, NIL, CFP, blatant disregard for academic standards (UNC), etc... People are just losing their passion. Money removes emotion
I posted something similar to this months ago, but the creation of this board added too much competition to the PSU message board market. Posters are now spread too thin.
Agreed. There are like two-three dozen regular posters here (maybe more in the Den). Fraction of what is used to be. I just don't think these sites are getting 'new' members. If you post here and are under 30, raise your hand....
