zoogs Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 LS: Huskers, Riley push to stay ahead in social media game They were renovating over the summer, giving the boys in the Husker digital-media department some new office digs. Kelly Mosier, a 32-year-old who you’re probably more connected to than you know, had just one big request: glass walls. “So people could see what we’re doing inside,” he said. “Because what we do is so insanely public.” You’ve already likely been peering through the glass without even realizing it.

zoogs Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Also from Mosier: -He's the guy who posts most of the @Huskers tweets, but there's a whole team behind that effort -At 186k followers, @Huskers is #2 in the country behind Georgia -Nebraska "one of first schools" to dedicate department to social media -Hat tip to AD Shawn Eichorst for supporting the efforts -Mentions Riley is "much more" involved and on board with the idea than previous coach. As if this wasn't already apparent, but this is (another) cool look into the new-age Huskers online effort. Good piece by Brian Christopherson. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 changes on the old excuse, you can not recruit to Nebraska are going to die on the roadside. This guy gets it. Uses every avenue, approach to reach the kids at their level. Smart man, great effort, normally leads to success. Quote Link to comment
DrunkInBottoms Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I must say the Huskers twitter account is insanely clever lol Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Gotta have this stuff nowadays. Don't fight it....embrace it. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Kelly is a really cool dude. I got to meet him when I won a fan rewards package and have kept in touch emailing back and forth occasionally since then. Someday he's going to give me a job I just feel it 1 Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I thought you were his boss, being the landlord and all!!! You just get the idea, you would like him. He seems genuine, fits the Nebraska image for me. So glad he is here, attacking this recruiting idea. Hope it pays off for him and Nebraska. We need it to. Quote Link to comment

I have high hopes for this staff, all of them. I haven't been this hopeful since Bill Callahan came to town. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I supported BC till the day he left, too loyal to the DC. A change there, things could have been different. He was getting into the talent he had recruited. I always liked the guy, very friendly, positive. In some respects similar to the past staff, not ready for big time college football and all that goes with the title Head Coach. Never have understood the hate for the guy. He tried, he failed, happens every day in real life. I wished him well. The last one not so much. Quote Link to comment

He tried, he failed, happens every day in real life. I wished him well. The last one not so much. The hate was two fold. First, he didn't win enough games, even against bad teams. Second, he was tied to the Steve Pedersen debacle, the shunning of former players, pulling down of pictures, and all the other shenanigans. Even if he didn't have a direct hand in it, he's part of that era. 1 Quote Link to comment
TITANIC VS LUSITANIA Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Do you feel like the social media is sometimes too much? I mean, it's great, but it's a lot of stadium photos, goofy inspirational posters, and perhaps a bit overdone for my taste. I like the part where they show a coach at work or thr players lifting, etc. Just not all the filler. Quote Link to comment

I should rephrase that saying he didn't act alone. He was still complicit. 1 Quote Link to comment

And that's who it's really for. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 A consistent presence on Twitter, especially considering how huge social media is nowadays and considering that most of these students have offers from other schools, can't hurt. Seeing Nebraska gets them to think about Nebraska, and they go from there. Quote Link to comment
