Never thought I’d see this place go full RSS.

Come to the Platinum board they said. It would be fun they said. The brightest minds, logical thinkers, and balanced fans…

The RSS potato is a guy who will tell you things are going well or close when we're a mess.

The tPB potato is a guy who will tell you things are a mess when we're close or things are going well.

2 sides of the same coin, RSS scroller is trying to protect himself with denial, tPB scroller is trying to protect himself with cynicism.

I'm ready to blame this loss on the strength and conditioning program. Our boys wouldn't be getting pushed around if they were listening to real music in the weight room like we were with Dooval.

Back in the day ... when Bomber, myself and others would joke about "we've been discussing this for a while over on the Platinum Board", one aspect of the standing gag was a referral to the "membership committee" (I'm proud to say Bomber referred to me as the Chairman of said fictional committee).

Perhaps with the perfect clarity that comes from hindsight, it wasn't such a bad idea after all. The notion of a trial period (view only until you see how the adults in the room behave) was bandied about earlier when this notion was raised in direct response to a few potato slingers who shall remain unnamed for civility purposes only (IYKYK).

With all of THAT said, some of you definitely lifted up your skirts and showed us your landing strip after the loss on Friday night. JFC, give it 24 hours before the alcohol processes out of your systems and you've had time to THINK about what you want to say before sharing it with the board. I'm embarrassed for some of y'all. IRL, if I were the membership chair, I'd put a few of you on ...

That's funny because sometimes Bomber would just fly off the handle over things. I say this because I knew him personally. Sad story, but one of my last conversations with him was Denny chewing me out about changing the size of bottle I used for my BBQ sauce. Sad to say we never really reconciled it before he suddenly passed.

Never change, Husker fans. Frost shit on this program for five years, and yet he was given a free pass. Some of you—yes, even posters in this thread—blamed the players instead of holding Frost and his coaching staff accountable for the disaster. Now, we’re just 16 games into Rhule’s tenure, after the first loss of the year, and already some of you are throwing in the towel and shifting the blame again. Unbelievable.

Be upset Nebraska lost a game they had a real shot at winning—that’s fair. But the narrative that Rhule is already failing, based on what you’ve seen in just 16 games, is pretty sad. Rhule is trying to clean up the mess left by a coach who never took responsibility for anything. What do you expect? That he should somehow achieve in under two years what Frost couldn’t manage in five? Come on.

We’ve got what could be the best true QB Nebraska has ever seen, and he’s still only a freshman. Oh, and by the way, NU is allowed to improve as the season goes on. But I guess some of you think you’ve already seen enough.

TL;DR: Stop bitching. Enjoy the ride and hope NU keeps growing and moving in the right direction, as NU is still only 16 games into a new coach's tenure, all while trying to clean up the mess from the previous dipshit HC, who blamed everyone but himself.

It doesn't help that half this board is seemingly "on the spectrum" and can't detect obvious sarcasm

This board was designed to be a good place for Husker fans to come talk and get the best info without all the bullshit. Trolling was some of the bullshit this board was meant to leave behind at RSS. Trolling here and anything Dean does are on the same level of stupidity.

I know and it was that way for good while, but that's a goal that's incompatible with a growth strategy. Because as you grow, you're by definition going to bring in both more taters and people who are unfamiliar with what tPB was meant to be (plus people then tend to post hotter takes to stand out). As posts become more ridiculous, people want to parody that ridiculousness.

I think there should have been much more selectiveness to the growth and would be ok if trolling like that were removed, but thats a discussion for a different time too.

How about a CAPTCHA where prospective members have to identify the admins out of a panel of 9 random dick pics?
