HI vs the "others"

  • Nosfera2son said...

    Jeezes man. To avoid writing a novel, I shall make a top ten in no specific order, because I kind of got to start at the end to make the beginning better, occasionally hinting about the end at times after that, and then finally making it to the middle.

    1. The posters on here. 2. The technology 3. The staff is the bees knees 4. The ability to post on other teams boards 5. The interaction by the National analysts 6. Updates from other boards staffs 7. I'm here 8. Players profiles 9. The mobile site 10. The Dashboard

    Give the site a shot. Trust me, you won't go back. There are many of us that came over from TOS.

    YEP, you pretty much sum it up for me. This site is definitely a breath of fresh air compared TOS!
    Kudos to the Husker Illustrated staff for making this possible!thumbsup

    Those of you that have made the switch, what makes this site better than the others? TIA

    There are a ton of reasons overall but I just feel better when I'm on this site. TOS (one in particular) are incredibly negative at times. The staff here has great stories, covers from all angles, and the network/tech is phenomenal but the following conversation is what sets it over the top for me. I don't have to sift through a bunch of childish replies accompanied by witty gifs that make it impossible to read on a mobile. There were times when TOS actually made me angry. How lame is that? I have no idea why something on the interwebs could make me angry but it did. The other thing I never liked about TOS was the pure speculation about certain players. Who cares? I'd much rather read about O or D schemes from people who actually coach/play/report at an intelligent level of ball. Hell, I'm good with guys who are just football fanatics and can help others understand the dynamic of a particular play. The play where OSU's qb was hurt last year always comes to mind. Sean Fisher couldn't buy a compliment after that game but I still feel we lose if he's not in position on that one play. He didn't have to do anything dramatic, he was just where he needed to be but God forbid anyone on the other site give the kid a compliment. Anyway, site= Awesome. Stop wasting your time and money on the other site and head over here.

    I see it! Welcome all you new posters and hope to read your thoughts soon. This post sums up my thoughts as well. The one thing I've noticed in my short time here though is civility. The best play by play in baseball while doing football recruiting updates. That alone shows me the dedication of the staff. Welcome aboard again and Go Big Red!

    You will get my Witty gifs, when this board is capable of it.

  • You guys feel free to stop in the Bone Yard Crew Thread also. Don't be afraid of it because it's huge. I think of it as the "bar area" around here. People just stop in to bs and what not. Any subject you feel like talking about, feel free to stop in.

  • Thanks to all the folks who helped tell Ty about the site. Think it's much better coming from you guys. Thanks also for the kind words. We're very proud of our first year, and I fully expect our second year to be superior to the first in every way.

  • This is where the "cool" people are. We are the functional dis-functional family. We have freedom of speach here. The respect level is higher along with the maturity level. But more than all that, its because I am here.

    Don't let that scare you off, Ty. We think it's a coding issue.

  • I didn't read all the replies.

    1. I like a feature that allows me to jump to the first unread reply in a thread.
    2. I don't see political ads (at least yet), I have a real problem paying for a site that shoves political ads in my face.
    3. So far the information is very good.

    Only thing I wish there was, was more posters (all are working on that). With more posters, you get more discussion from various angles.

    Great conversations, people give their opinions and whether people agree or disagree, they accept it. I think you'll find that everyone here is going to appreciate your input whether they agree with it or not. Everybody's opinion is welcomed and encouraged, and the more the people bring, the stronger the site gets.
