We have joined with several other fan sites to create Palmetto & Pine Sports Network. This new network focuses on the Big South, Atlantic Sun, and Southern Conferences, and will work collaboratively on several projects including weekly polls and awards and season awards. This will not change anything for us here at FlamesNation as we are still independently owned and operated, but it will allow us to create a broad network among rival sites.

Please see below for the press release from Palmetto & Pine Sports Network.

______________

We are proud to introduce the Palmetto & Pine Sports Network, a coalition of communities from the Atlantic Sun, Big South, and Southern Conference.  Our goal as a network is to bring collaborative coverage of the schools and conferences in the South that we all know and love.

The charter members of this network include the following sites:
Coastal Fans – Coastal Carolina
FGCU Eagles Nest– Florida Gulf Coast
HPU Panthers Message Board – High Point
KSU Owl Howl– Kennesaw State
LancersBlog – Longwood
Liberty Flames Nation – Liberty
MocFans – Chattanooga
Purple & Gold – Western Carolina
SamfordBulldogs.com – Samford
SoCon John’s Statistical Research Bureau – Independent
Spartan Fans Nation – UNC Greensboro
Swoop Hoops – North Florida
Talkin’ Terriers – Wofford
The Sports Arsenal – The Citadel
WinthropFans – Winthrop

Each site will remain autonomous and its own unique fan community. What the Palmetto & Pine Sports Network provides is a collaborative effort that you’ll be able to find on all of our member sites and here on PalmettoAndPineSports.com.  The sites will collaborate on efforts like pregame previews while also voting on regular features such as power rankings and awards that includes all the schools from the three conferences.

We look forward to you being a part of P&P Sports and adding to our network with even more fan sites from the ASun, Big South, and SoCon.
