knapplc Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 We've officially been handed off to Adam Rittenberg's Big Ten blog by ESPN. No more Ubben jokes. Nebraska fans: This is your blog! You have waited patiently -- some more than others -- but it's now official. The Nebraska Cornhuskers are part of the Big Ten blog! Although Nebraska doesn't become a full Big Ten member until July 1, the Huskers football team has severed ties with the Big 12 and can focus solely on its transition to a new league. We at ESPN.com are doing the same, as colleague David Ubben hands off the Huskers -- more appropriately, he pitches them to me out of the option -- and Nebraska becomes a permanent fixture in Big Ten country.

Knapplc I saw that you use the same name on the ESPN comment boards. Thanks for being consistent! What do you think about the B1G blogger vs. Ubben? Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Eh. Rittenberg is fine. I don't pay a lot of attention to bloggers - they're just posting their opinions like we do here. The fact that they get paid for it doesn't make their opinions more valid than ours. Quote Link to comment

The fact that they get paid for it doesn't makes their opinions more valid profitable than ours. Fixed it for you. Ever since we joined the Big Ten, I've been following him off and on and he seems to bring basic facts, which are taken to a whole another level here at HB. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'm going to miss Ubben a little bit. He was pretty good at answering my questions during his live chats. Rittenberg hasn't done that yet. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Over/under: 2 months——before the Rittenberg/NU honeymoon is over. (Then Rittenberg will start bagging on NU while we cyber-castrate him on message boards.) Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I cant stand David Ubben or Adam Rittenberg, looks like anothe year of not paying attention to the ESPN Bloggers. Quote Link to comment

Like every other team out there, when someone doesn't speak eloquently about our team, they're bagging on us and persona non grata. Ubben's honeymoon lasted all of one week, I think.

GSG Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Here's a little back and forth between Ubben and Rittenberg about DONU's move to the B1G: Blog debate: Nebraska's move to Big Ten The Nebraska Cornhuskers have a new home in the Big Ten blog, and bloggers Adam Rittenberg and David Ubben are guiding the Big Red ship through these waters of transition. Before Ubben and the Big 12 give up Nebraska for good, it's time for something we like to call a blog debate. Buckle up. Continute reading here Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yeah, far less than two months. I'm in the camp of two weeks. Quote Link to comment

UGAHusker Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Could ESPN find nerdier people? Both of these guys look/sound like the biggest dorks on the planet. 100% not a fan of either. Quote Link to comment
