teachercd Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I thought that Shatel did editorials and was not a reporter, am I wrong? There is a pretty big difference between the two jobs in the newspaper biz. I know, cause I worked on a school newspaper for like 2 months or so, maybe less. It was probably less.

Overland Park Husker Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 McKewon is the best and IMO it's not close at all. Knapp, you should have made the poll public so we could see if these guys vote for themselves They aren't registered under their actual names. Do you know who they are on this board? I know of one for sure and believe I know a couple others. Quote Link to comment

Well we know whoever Dirk is now.... Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Do you know who they are on this board? I know one for a fact, and have significant suspicions on others. But I figure they, like the rest of us, don't use their regular names because we enjoy a little anonymity, so I will respect that by not voicing my suspicions. That's also why I didn't make the poll public, if you are curious. I also figure people are more honest in a vote when it's actually anonymous. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I can think of one poster who mostly posts McKewon articles and HuskerLocker posts. I'm guessing he is McKewon. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Lee Barfknecht is missing from this list. Not familiar with Jon and Rich. Sam's the runaway winner here. I also like Dirk and Sipple, in different ways. I remember not liking Shatel very much, but I don't remember why anymore. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Lee Barfknecht is missing from this list. Does Barf even write football articles anymore? I thought he was just covering basketball and blogging these days. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Lee Barfknecht is missing from this list. Does Barf even write football articles anymore? I thought he was just covering basketball and blogging these days. If Barfy was on the list he would get my vote. For worst NU sports-hack, that is. 2 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 I just realized I didn't specify football on the title. Fixed. Quote Link to comment

This is probably why I like him. I agree with his editorials most of the time. HA! Quote Link to comment
thequan Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 None of these. Anybody ever read Max Olson at the Daily Nebraskan? Best sports writer in Lincoln, and recognized as one of the best young sports writers in the nation. Just saying, this kid's good. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Best = Shatel Worst = Dick Dick really has pushed me away not only with his coverage of the coaching search but also his coverage of the Huskers basketball team. I used to follow him on Twitter to get updates but I got fed up with everything he said. Never gave anyone any credit for doing anything good. Example - Huskers beat Texas in bball....not a single line/comment. Huskers lose to ANYONE he drops 15-20 different lines about how bad they are and how inconsistent. I get it, they were inconsistent and lost to bad teams, but come on...absolutely nothing to say about one of the greatest victories in recent Husker BBall history? He's just as bad as local Omaha news, never responds to anything positive, it doesn't get the attention. To me, he is definitely trying to become a polarizing figure for his own professional gain. Not saying he should never be critical - but give the damn players some credit sometimes instead of always berating and criticizing. Just makes you seem like a bitter, hateful Hawkeye fan. Nailed it. He's a joke. Quote Link to comment
iowahusker09 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 As of right now huskerboard and twitter are my only husker resources. I would love to find a writer or website to follow if you guys could help me out Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Dirk's a real downer but he's also nailed it a couple times this year. But nobody (me included) likes a tumultuous take on things. My bad on Barfknecht by the way, I didn't realize that. I don't read these things regularly anymore Quote Link to comment
