Did UCS go belly up?

Where else can I find such a comprehensive listing of committed/signed players, by school and conference?

Nice to see who my kid will be playing with and against.

Its hard to go anywhere when you have about 20 guys with their noses crammed each other's a$$e$.....it's just physically difficult to move. Its really fun to go over there and read about how smart these folks are.....not.

There are some good people over there that know that of what they speak...but not many. I've been kicked off twice, simply for disagreeing with the chosen ones. That is why they will eventually go away....no real exchange of ideas.

I defended the chosen ones when I first started frequenting there, now, I agree with Sam (with an occasional exception). They always make reference to "civil discourse" which I think means agrees with the keepers of the board all the time.

From a post in the: "is it time to say farewell to Ultimate College Softball?" thread:

The topics and discussions on this board have been the same for 3 years. Maybe that is why he hasn't posted.

I think the 20 guys that post regularly could just get each other's emails and then just "reply all" all the time and they'd think there was still a discussion board.

Agree with Sam and Checkwriter.

Recently one poster balked at the suggestion that the UCS crowd come to Heybucket if the UCS site goes down: "I don't want to deal with travel ball parents".

Huh? College parents are travel ball parents on roids.

Not a surprise to me. I watched Mark and Scott, active posters here and eteamz post for a while there, but quickly grow tired of their single world view.

I think spasz and numero do a great job here of allowing lots of opinions to be discussed, threads to play out, and yet keep the trolling at a minimum.

The actual quote from LMU fan:

No offense to heybucket, I'm sure it's a nice place, but I have no desire to be on a site flooded with travel ball parents. I'd avoid that like the plague.

Interesting that the plague site is thriving.
