Horrible. Over commercialized, impersonal, no 'Washington' feeling...just feels like Scott Pelley and the democrats running a college football site. Vote democrat and support the SEC. Who is Washington? The pac12? Welcome to the new dawgman

Your site sucks Samek. Kim youre just a worthless yes man. Kim meet Baabs baabs-Kim...i might just walk away from dawgman for good daggummit!!!!

Take a stand Kim. Go back to a small, local private enterprise. Get out the cbs contract, umbrella. Get out your little camera kimmy and reintroduce dawgman to the people, the husky fan.

Welcome to Dawgman.com's new platform.

You're looking at a new user interface for all parts of the site - front page, articles, forums, player database, multimedia. This implementation has been in the works for six months, since CBS acquired Scout (Dawgman's network partner) earlier this year, and is the first step in a long term plan by CBS to improve the site and its user experience by combining its resources and giving Inside Carolina much-needed tools and technology upgrades.

All articles and media from the last 16 years have migrated to the new platform. And all posts from the last several years on the forums have migrated, too. Everything isn't formatted perfectly, as there are some unavoidable conversion issues, but it should serve the purpose of a more seamless transition.

If you have a Dawgman.com account, it has been securely transferred to this new platform. That includes your registration, subscription, and username. CBS combined its Scout and 247Sports user databases, and so while the majority of users should have no problems signing in with their existing username/password to the new site, there are a limited number of registration conflicts for certain users (dual registrations, shared usernames, etc.). Those users will get a clear notification when they sign in for the first time on the new site, with an explanation of how to proceed.

If you have any problems with the process, the Scout customer support team is set up to assist by email at support@scout.com or calling 888-501-5752 between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM (ET) Monday - Friday.

In the past, Dawgman.com's staff has been the lead contact for customer service issues. While we remain always eager and willing to help with any user questions or concern, we're grateful Scout has greatly increased the staff and hours of its customer support department.

Scout has also created the following two detailed pages to assist you:

--> Dawgman.com New Forums FAQ Page

--> Dawgman.com Customer Support Page

The most important - and immediate - benefit of this move is stability. This new site is built off the existing CBS/247Sports platform, offering much greater stability immediately, and also creates some exciting potential for adding site features and improving coverage. There are also features that users have been requesting for years -- such as article-forum integration, jumping to new posts within a thread, and uploading images directly to your posts -- and the potential to add many more.

This new platform should be viewed as a starting point. There are some familiar features that are under development, including a new mobile app for the site, and embedding shortcuts for forum posts. As we've done in the past, we're compiling reader feedback to submit changes, bug fixes and feature requests. So please don't hesitate to let us know, as it's your opportunity to help shape this new site.

This is the same Dawgman.com - same staff, same content, same community - it's just on a new, stable platform. We understand change is inconvenient, but we've made efforts to make the new look familiar and are confident this is both a necessary and beneficial move for the present and future of Dawgman.com.
