Message board stories aka Is HPH still a thing?

I ashamedly admit here that I was part of the start of Husker Power Hour. Back then, it was a bunch of us that were trying to get away from Rivals, as their Mods didn't want to allow any dissenting opinions. This was shortly after I had a falling out with them and stopped writing for them about the Baseball Team due to my negative opinions on Mike Anderson and that I felt like he was going to run the program into the ground eventually.

It actually was a decent place for a little while, but eventually Harold Hunter (H3) and his crew became exactly the people that they thought they were escaping when leaving Rivals. If you had a dissenting opinion, you were constantly mocked, etc... I knew several people on that board personally and they were good friends. I came to know another guy on the board fairly well that had moved to Texas with his wife. They went to all of the North Texans for Nebraska meeting and Harold Hunter took him and his wife under his wing. She posted on the board under the name of Froggie and I can't remember now what he went by. Anyway, he had a tough run of it professionally and Harold used that opportunity to use it against him and had an affair with his wife. Harold did pretty well for himself financially as a Lawyer, which was a huge draw to this girl (if you ever saw Harold's grill, you'd know that looks weren't what was going to attract anyone to him).

Eventually a bunch of us got fed up with the board and we left and created our own board called Huskertalk. It was supposed to have plenty of good inside information, but also allow for open talk. Like a lot of places, a few keyboard warriors took over, starting on their off-topic board, and ran off most of the good posters. Eventually the domain was just not renewed and it went the way of the dinosaurs.
H3 and tunagill got into it and H3 left the board. The board died off when he left which was right after Frost was hired. I remember posting I would be fine if we hired Campbell and he jumped my shit that Frost was the only hire. Another funny moment was when him and beekeeper lost their shit after Eichorst fired Bo. H3 use to have some good inside info but he was a tool.

huskerpedia/huskermax = hardon for frank solich
big red board = hardon for callahan
hph = hardon for pelini
cable installers = hardon for riley
tpb = hardon for frost
RSS maintained a hardon for Riley deep into the 2017 season. I'd estimate that 60-70% of that board were still drinking the Friday Night Lights kool aid up to the Cockeye blowout.
 
No idea. I know that they got called out all over Social Media several years ago for some shit. Screen shots were posted, but I can't remember what that was about.
It was over Eichorst firing Bo. I think beekeeper and H3 gave out his address and posted some crazy shit. Beekeeper was the other lawyer from Texas who was on the ESPN sports anchor reality show.

I also was a member of husker power hour back in the day and can back up everything you say as absolute fact. I loved the husker power hour board because the insider information was usually 100 percent spot on. But there was way too much bullying by Harold Hunter and aaron5, I think his name was. The absolute worst poster was Richie incognitos father. He was verbally abusive and threatening, just an absolute horrible person.

If you know of any other message boards that exist. Let me know please. I’m just in Facebook ones now
 
Man, I’d have a really hard time explaining to someone not from America how a college American football team has 20 different branches of websites on the internet all dedicated to be places you can post messages about a bad sub-professional football team full of 18-23 year olds who hope to be professionals someday.

Each of these 20 message boards have different themes of obsession and pledge their loyalty to a different leader of these 18-23 year old sub-professional American football players.

It would blow their mind as much as explaining ice fishing to a local boat captain in the Caribbean.
 
These were good bumps, especially by the guy whose first post it was.

I feel like you just described European soccer fanatics. I don't think it would be as hard to explain to a lot of people as you think.
