There are a few potential motivations someone might have for posting so many messages, 97,374, on an internet message board mostly about college football:
Passion for college football - The most straightforward explanation is that this person truly loves college football and wants to discuss it with other passionate fans. For diehard fans, reading and talking about their favorite sport is a hugely enjoyable hobby.
Sense of community - Long-time members of internet forums often enjoy the community and connections they've built over time. This person likely feels at home talking college football with their online friends.
Likes debating/arguing - Some prolific posters thrive on debating other fans, defending their team and opinions. The ongoing arguments keep them engaged.
Likes feeling knowledgeable - By posting so often, this person establishes themselves as an expert on college football. They may enjoy the reputation and ability to share their knowledge.
Likes recognition - Frequent posters often become minor celebrities on fan forums. The attention and small bit of "fame" may be motivational.
Obsessive tendencies - In extreme cases, such hyper-active posting could suggest obsessive tendencies or even addiction to the forum. The compulsion to post may be hardcoded.
In the end, that level of passion and commitment suggests college football is a hugely meaningful part of this person's life and identity. The forum provides community and an outlet for both expertise and obsession.
