  1. I'm curious what the OWH readership numbers are now that they paywall so much content. Essentially every article that pops up on twitter is SUBSCRIBER PLUS, and I'm essentially to the point of unfollowing them.

      Is the subscriber Plus cheaper than the paper subscription?  Because, you know, paper and delivery costs don't exist

      @huKSer Yes - I think the going rate for unlimited access to all their content online is like $10/month.

       

      @Saunders I think I'm picking up what you were getting at now. I think The Athletic and the OWH are incomparable from a business standpoint. The Athletic is purely an online experience and, although they try to place people in local markets, they're a national brand. The OWH still delivers newspapers to tons of people still and have a lot fixed costs associated with that including print, production, delivery, management, carriers, etc.

       

      I'm sure they also have a lot of advertisers that want to get in front of their audience. So, it's just different business models. But, like I said, their online subscriber program gets rid of ads almost entirely.

      Hmm, I swear I saw ads when I did the trial last year, and I was shocked. Maybe they fixed it. Still, the price is quite high for what it is.

      Well, that is what they do. Like the time all the NU fans flipped off the kids in the Children's Hospital and kicked their 3 legged dogs. Psycho band chick strikes again.

      HuskerNationNick

      Both teams, its hard to know what your going to get. Georgia hasn't faced anyone legit, with a good defense without Murray. We have and due to some ball security issues, we sh#t our pants. Fix that, we win.

      So, it's gone from Bo saying "He's swimming in it" to now Bo hating that he didn't follow the scheme? Ok then...

    3. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      I'm not trying to "Bo hate" but David wouldn't have seen the field right away if it weren't for the injuries at LB. I know coaches need to trust the players are going to be in the right position.

  9. IDK why people keep inventing this large group of fans that want Bo back. Questioning things that happened yesterday isn't the same thing as wanting Bo as HC.

      I said I'm glad Bo is gone, but I'm not happy with what I saw on Saturday. Does that count?

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Yes. I wasn't happy with some of what I saw either. But some were just waiting to pounce from the bushes at the first sign of anything that wasn't perfect. People tend to forget that there is usually another team also trying to win the game. We're just not too used to the other team having a pulse.

    4. Saunders

      Saunders

      @JJ... Why? Did we expect people to clarify that they were glad Billy C was gone when they complained about Bo? Nope

      I didn't say abandon it. We aren't doing anything that a bunch of other teams don't do. The pressure is on the DB's. These players need to get better. I agree, think we've got some talent back there, but this is the first time they've been challenged to play in coverages like this without help. They've got to improve. I don't think Banker is going to change much. Like I said, other teams do this same thing.

  11. So, the university put up tickets for the Iowa game early, and I didn't see it, and now I'm screwed. I'm driving up from FL and taking my son to his first game. Can anyone help me out, I need 4-5 tickets?

      Scalp. There will be tickets for sale outside the stadium before the game. You can get them pretty close to face, many times below. May not get 4-5 together, but maybe 2 and 3.

  12. Welp, latest NHC forecast moved Irma farther to the west, right up the gut of FL. We might have to evacuate after all... :/

      I think it's a half hearted gesture. It will be hard to find folks for that price when the going rate is probably 80+. You might get a desk jockey and someone to look at film coming right from a GA slot but to get the type of people we want we need to pay like S&C coaches salaries. I'm hoping those rates can move up as its been suggested by some boosters. Right now we should worry about keeping assistant coaches after only two had pay raises.

  16. DJ Foster and Tanner Farmer need to play side by side so we call strong side plays "DJ Tanner."

      Miles is between a rock and a hrd place with Petteway. If he goes off for 27 points like the last game he is an asset. Most games he doesn't do that plus he isn't careful with the ball and can be a turnover machine. Teams know to stop Shields inside and if TP can't get a good shot off, this offense is in trouble.

  22. Get in line folks. I'm conducting the Zack Darlington hype train.
