Like I said before. My sister graduated from Tennessee and I am a Vol fan when they are not playing my school. Other fans coming here and the Boneyard is a compliment to the forum itself. I can't understand why you wouldn't feel that way. They are both very unique and that's something to embrace not something to hide and do a "rah, rah" all day long. I enjoy the other stories that are out there.
You may not have all the data. VolNation, ucon, and Baylor have the only decent forums when it comes to women's sports. There may be others, if so I've never seen them.
VN is very open. The definition of freedom of speech could be a picture of Freak. Trolls run rampant.
Ucon is very closed. Your post is not instantaneous, everything is apparently vetted to meet their definition of "correct". They have a mod, BigNan?, who rules with a rod of iron. Make a derogatory comment about one of their girls, and she gives a one time warning (or so she said the time I saw her warn someone). I only tried to post one time, what I would have thought was complimentary at best, neutral at worst, and it was never posted. (Most of them were defending CP when that guy said she "attacked" him. I even remember what I tried to post, "Sometimes I can't help but like all of you all."). There are a few jerks on there, but most seem to be true fans and rational...of course there is no one on there stirring things up either! Now this information is all old. I doubt I've gone to that forum an average of one time a year. Just giving my prior observations.
Baylor has a good forum. Fans are nice, knowledgeable, welcoming. I go there some, usually during basketball season, never had any trouble posting. However, I remember I am in someone else's house and am respectful.
I'm a SC/TN but my primary allegiance is to the Vols (opposite of you). So I want you to understand why some posters react as they do. The amount of hate and trash on this board amazes me sometimes. When those conditions occur, people react. Just remember what you read sometimes is the reaction, not the beginning.
And for the record...my brother is a big Gamecock fan and we both hate :machgun:Clemsum.
