Quick SB Nation Question

Submitted by Ziff72 on

Just a quick question for the community.  I was trying to look at BSD for some PSU content and of course the content is weak and worthless.   Then I went on the boards and found that frustrating.

That got me to click other links.   Long story short it appears most of the other blogs are run on SBNation.   The content on most sites is weak, the formatting gives me a headache and  I hate the formatting of the boards.

I'm obviously used to the MGOBLOG formatting and how things work here so I was wondering  is it just because I'm unfamiliar with it that I find it frustrating or do you guys find the other sites useful and I just don't know how to use it? 

Thanks for the input.

ALL YOUR CONTENT ARE BELONG TO US

 

 

Actually I don't see much of a difference. I just scanned BSD and it looked fine. The FanPosts section doesn't seem much better/worse than MGoBoard.

Haven't spent any time on there personally but I feel like i've seen it mentioned in a few places (Ace from thewolverineblog had them on his interview with the enemy)

Co-sign Linebacker-U. They are the combination of 2-3 older PSU blogs of good quality. I want to say that one of those two used to also write for BlackShoeDiaries. I kind of feel like BSD has been eclipsed by LB-U in terms of quality these days. BSD has more interesting comments, but LB-U has better front page content. Just one man's e-pinion.

Might also peruse NittanyWhiteOut. They have had a bum rap with some in blogfrica, but they still put out quite a bit of quality content.

I love the mgoblog format stylezzzzz.  HOWEVA, I sometimes miss the old thread format.. i find some of the replies hard to follow (e.g. who is this in response to) once there are several replies to the same person.

Some SBN sites are better than others.  I've always found BSD to be a little weak, but Black Heart Gold Pants (Iowa) is outstanding, EDSBS is a must read, Burnt Orange Nation (Texas) is also great, and The Only Colors (MSU) is one of the best sources I've found for information on Michigan State.

Also, I might be biased as I contribute there, but Maize n Brew is solid as well.
