| CoachT.com: The 800-Pound Gorilla of TN Message Boards | ||
| From HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL DATABASE Staff |
| December 7, 2005 |
| In case you haven't found it yet (and if you haven't, we'd love to see the sites you're surfing), there is an 800-pound gorilla in the Tennessee high school sports message boards space. And considering how Jim Thompson has cornered the market, this internet operation by no means should be considered monkey business. Thompson's website, CoachT.com, is the Cadillac of high school sports talk in Tennessee. With upwards of 50,000 registered screen names, and over 1,000,000 posts on the site, there is no other place to go to talk Volunteer State high school athletics that has the reach that CoachT.com has.

Want to trade barbs with rivals from your most despised team? Feel like dropping a note of congratulations to first-time football state champions Davidson Academy, Livingston Academy, and Ravenwood? CoachT.com is the site where you will find an audience - and perhaps a little smack talk in return if you're not nice (and sometimes even if you are). The Football Boards remain the most popular destination on the site, but boards exist for practically all sports, including bowling and lacrosse, which have a smaller audience but still have a niche of fans who need a place to talk shop. |
CoachT.com even offers a board to discuss (bicker about) the infamous "Public/Private Debate". Be warned: come to this board with thick skin, and just remember - whichever side you support is the wrong one! The site is free to all users, although off-season boards are limited to Plus Members at a nominal fee of $12 annually. A Plus Membership also provides users with, among other items, a Private Message feature and access to the Open Discussion Board - a relatively obscure yet highly informative section of the site. Yes, there are other Tennessee high school sports talk sites on the internet - each with their own merits - but CoachT.com is the 800-pound gorilla with a stranglehold on Tennessee high school sports message board activity. And with no signs of letting up any time soon, Jim Thompson just might be driving the competition bananas for some time to come.
