Players more than anyone know that every fan base has their fans who whine about everything, those who never whine, and everyone in between... And also that there are FAR more positive fans than the clowns who scream from their anonymous e-lungs on message boards. College athletes typically laugh at the stuff that happens on these kind of boards. They know fans don't know jack while sitting on their couches. Stop over exaggerating how influential this board is. This is like a backwards type of narcissism.
