Before Bo Was Hired


Recommended Posts

 

It was the complete opposite on other boards. I cam here after being banned from another board for criticizing Pelini and posting about how the culture of the program was completely broken.

 

Lol, who here hasn't been banned from another board? I'll start the list. I'll go on the safe side and only leave room for 5 people on the list.

bigredboard was simply amazing for many reasons...There was some super dork that would "break down" the "game film" each week...saying that he would watch each play like 10 times and examine what the OLine was doing...it was so stupid...

Every board has a 'guru', an E.F. Hutton type, who 'knows', more than the average bear, of course, so he thinks--and 'people listen'. The 'guru' doesn't post much, maybe once per week after 'deep reflection' and then offers up his 'expert analysis' often in one big fell swoop, a mega post that 'breaks it down' in extravagant detail--with deliberate tone--insights afforded to the very few like him who 'played the game', 'studied the game', and whatnot. His weekly mega post is received with great anitcipation from the underlings on the board, his followers, who feign and swoon over his obviously 'superior intellect', and they heap praise upon the 'guru' accordingly, though it can be awkward when the 'guru' is totally WRONG, which happens about as frequently as any Ordinary Joe.

 

Beware the board 'guru'.

That is SOOOO true!

 

They would even post things like "I can't wait to read what (The name was either Wild Hoss or Harry Truman) thought about the O-Line play"

If you ever read www.bigredboard.com they were basically all against Bo...they also banned anyone that wasn't against Bo. They had some thoughts that I figured were crazy at the time but looking back, some seemed true...That board is still up but it is all closed off to anyone from the "outside" Some of you might have read it or remembered it.

But they had "inside info"

1. Bo hated recruiting: He never visited recruits and was never used as a closer

2. Bo was a hot head: Enough said

They had some other concerns but I can't remember, ColoradoHusker probably remembers.

 

Seems like I got banned from that board, back in the day...

Exactly. Or, "Oh, 'X', I've been waiting all week for what you were going to say about, 'Y'", yada yada. Haha, there's one board I was reading this last season w the ultimate 'guru', maybe the worst case I've seen. I'll have to think where that one was....oh yeah, was on HuskerMax. You have to pay to play there, too.

There was/is another board from back in the Calli days, not sure if it was bigredboard, I think it was different. But their big schtick was it was only open to the 'serious', 'thoughtful' poster who only had 'positive' things to say. Tony Robbins musta been the admin/moderator. No bashing allowed whatsoever. I think I lasted about a NY minute on that one for saying the Skers might go 7-5 8-4 that year(which they did). BANNED! Too negative, I guess.

That sounds like the HuskerFanClub site!

Nah, they're kinda weird too--and that pink page color will kill your eyes. This was a different one, I'll have to think about it. Had a black page with red print, similar to bigredboard.

Husker power hour?

 

I've seen that one. I don't think so. I dunno, this was almost 10 yrs ago.

No. I don't want to name names. Not RedReign, though.
