It may take time to know the nuances/historical context of some comments (pie & salsa, sparkle gloves, etc.) but it’s the most sane Husker takes on a message board I’ve seen after starting on 24/7, going to Rivals, crashing out on Dean via a subtle lawn care post to avoid detection, then coming here.
There are many who have similar stories or felt they were being severely misled because the writers need to keep their access & relationships. Here, we can be critical of reporting and the state of the program without fear of the ban hammer.
However, there are two surefire ways to get banned here:
1. Steal information from the board, post on Twitter under a fake alias then soft launch your media career with that information and act like a total dumbass the whole time.
2. Be a man from India who randomly posts religious texts and tells us that we are bound for damnation.
Other than that, you’re good to go!

Sarcasm in text is hard, but I believe it’s come through in this instance.
Other than one thread, you don’t see a lot of pissing contests, but again…it’s the off season.

I can tell by the ‘Sandy Vagina’ tags a fair number of posters on the board have that a large portion are still in ‘Prove it’ mode. I get it and agree another 7-5 season isn’t going to change that perception.
Looking at this schedule, it looks like another year we’ll have half the fanbase lathered up after a 3-0 start, thinking ‘We’re back!’, only to play all four ‘M’ schools in the B1G in a row….which is where the season sinks or swims.
I think I have a read on this team, but won’t really feel like it’s legit until after the Cincinnati game. I need to see how a few things come together before I start thinking 8-4 or better is a legitimate, attainable goal, of if I’m just applying Rhule’s previous patterns to his stint at Nebraska. We go 3-0 with a couple of blowouts to start the year, only to crap the bed agains Michigan and I suspect the pessimistic side of the board will be louder than the optimistic.

You’ve got plenty of company.
After a few of the wins last fall, my youngest son started to raise his expectations of the team, only to be disappointed in short order. He rallied a bit after Holgorsen took over the offense, but never fully shed the ‘They’re going to lose’ mindset.

Roger that.
I’ll stick around for the bourbon talk and booger flinging match that is ridiculously one sided political posts on X.

I will say the gameday threads are usually full of very funny shit and definitely worth a follow and browse during commercials 😂

I'm a product of 90's DONU football (1998 HS grad), so the Riley/Frost/2-year Rhule decade has left me with a bad case of battered housewife syndrome. Each year I've felt myself growing more and more curmudgeonly and pessimistic and I hate that. On top of that I now have a standing bet with an Cockeye buddy where the loser has to wear the winner's team gear to a business meeting after the game each November. He hasn't had to wear scarlet and cream yet.
It also doesn't help that I greatly dislike the current state CFB with "NIL" (aka booster money laundering), buying 1-year mercenary players with no real tie or loyalty to our beloved university, and unlimited transfers.
I like Rhule, I like Holgerson, I like Raiola, I like Ekeler. There's a lot to like about this 2025 team. I just have so much scar tissue that until I see enough sustained success to offset some of the statistically, unfathomable, comedic losses, alas, I'll probably have to continue to be curmudgeonly and pessimistic.

100% agree with this. College football used to be a lot of fun to follow even during the offseason with recruiting and what not. But now with all the changes that you stated perfectly has made it even harder to follow or even care about it. Rhule has done a great job of keeping things quiet during the offseason as well. I'll get geared up again when football season starts but as of right now I'm in show me what good/winning football looks like mode.

Being a student at UNL from '92 - '95 was amazing!
