The opportunity for Sipple IMHO is in whether or not his site can actually break news. Or actually provide insider content. The insider content we get on HOL/RSS is nothing...followed by an official announcement... followed by Dean's "yeah, I knew that a week ago, I just couldn't say anything." 247 isn't doing a ton better. And even Sipple himself goes on the radio and says "I know more than I can say" etc. So no one's actually breaking any major insider news here.Rivals is going to die like Scout did soon enough. It will then just be 247 and On3. There's always been two, so not so big of a difference there.

You basically have the proprietors of these "insider" websites that are too afraid to lose their access so they don't break any news. The actual insider info is 95% from posters on their message boards, not content from the proprietors.
The way CFB programs operate now it's extremely difficult to do break any big news, bc the second they do, the HC will pull their media access. If Sipple can find a way to actually break some insider program news then he'll do well. But right now we basically get the same thing from Dean and Schaefer and we'll probably just get a similar product from Sipple.
No offense to Robin but is he breaking any insider news over there? I think RW is a very good reporter though.You basically have to bff the head corch over and over like Robin has done
He's usually on top of program goings on well before lots of other places are.No offense to Robin but is he breaking any insider news over there? I think RW is a very good reporter though.
So if we join before June 1st will we get to make fun of Dean and not have to pay him?Rivals just owns the publishing rights to HuskerOnline content. On June 1st those will expire and HuskerOnline will switch to publishing through On3. The staff are all moving over. Because Rivals still owns the rights, I don't believe any kind of formal announcement can be made until the transition actually occurs. All users will have to switch over themselves which I suspect is why it's only $1 for a full year. You will save money by switching no matter when your last renewal with rivals occurred.
You can definitely make fun of him. Don't know about the paying him part.So if we join before June 1st will we get to make fun of Dean and not have to pay him?
You think they're gonna let talent like Kong just walk out the door?Are all the same mods coming over to on3?
True. Free labor.You think they're gonna let talent like Kong just walk out the door?
How do we all become mods and beat them to the punch?Are all the same mods coming over to on3?
I'm guessing I've been disqualified already.How do we all become mods and beat them to the punch?
We’ve already got some of the best inside info. Imagine if we got someone on here that recruits trusted and could call on them prior to and after visits.The opportunity for Sipple IMHO is in whether or not his site can actually break news.

The Hacienda info must not be known by many. Many Husker/Sports Pages on Facebook have posted about Sip leaving and not knowing where he is going. I've made quite a few smartass Hacienda comments and not gotten one Like or response.Who is the first to use his Hacienda pic as their avatar???
I would love to do this, Honestly I just don't have enough time and I would be need to be paid for it. Plus I would fit in right away with local Husker recruiting journalists because my grammar is below average.We’ve already got some of the best inside info.

I think it was posted here but not anywhere else, I doubt anyone really knowsThe Hacienda info must not be known by many.

I will at least give him extra credit for hand placement!The Hacienda info must not be known by many. Many Husker/Sports Pages on Facebook have posted about Sip leaving and not knowing where he is going. I've made quite a few smartass Hacienda comments and not gotten one Like or response.
