Personality of TPB

I think the general consensus was optimistic when we first started. I feel like most of us have gotten more pessimistic as we finished out the Frost years. Getting more optimistic again but still well below early Frost years. That could change with a decent season like 8-4. 7-5 probably isn't enough to change the mood.
Get ready for 7-5.
 
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!
 
I read somewhere this morning that we’re 58 days from the season opener with Cincinnati and I can’t help but get excited.

It’s been like this for me since the early ’70’s, and even with all the crap years stacked on top of each other over the last decade, I still look forward to the next football season and this season is no different.

Having joined the board after last football season, this fall will be interesting to me in more ways than one. I’ve been on here for a handful of months now, but I really don’t get a feel for the board from a football perspective. I see that it’s full of jocularity, which I’m in favor of, as my previous home had a serious case of twisted panties and wouldn’t tolerate much, if any of the back and forth that goes on here. I like humor and am fine with it getting a little gritty at times. Sometimes a little edge is good for everyone. That said, I am very interested to see what this looks like when we’re actually talking football. I’ve seen a handful of posts that seem written by someone very knowledgeable of the sport, position groups, sides of the ball, etc., but since it’s been off season it’s been limited. I’ve enjoyed the ‘Bourbon’ thread, but who wouldn’t? I’ve also learned a lot about what a knob Sean Callahan is, love the creative word corrections for words like Cockeye, etc, but I’m ready to talk football.

Back to the football thing. We are going to do that, right?
Sir this is a Wendy’s
 
This place is pretty cringe tbh, but the nugs are alright sometimes I guess.
