I've noticed a rash of "newbies" lately that have been members for several years with few posts. Also just plain "newbies" which some are legit and some clearly trolls.

Why change your name? I'd like to hear from people who have because it's a serious question. Not intend to pick a fight

I haven't here, but I've changed my screen name in general because I picked one I didn't like to begin with on other forums.

Because c2o wasn’t gritty enough, it just needed a little more

I actually have a real good friend that is a fan of another school (not saying which one) and he was banned from here for reasons I never understood. I've seen far worse posts in terms of insults, profanity, and rudeness by people still on here than anything he ever posted. I sure hope he wasn't banned simply for being a fan of another team....

But, anyways, he was on here with 3 different screen names (not all at once). He finally had enough...and I don't blame him.

Being a bad person and taking things too seriously that was filled with anger, hate, breaking board rules, etc.

The day Frost was hired was the day I switched a 180 about the program.

Changed phones, email addresses, etc. due to some work restrictions with the new phone and was too lazy to migrate all that stuff. Quicker to take my old name and add a “2”...

That’s funny that you started this thread because I’ve been fighting with Rivals for over a week.

Somehow my old screen name was needing email verification & they couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t letting me post.

I just today got fed up & created a new account. Similar to my old name though.

Some people are lying sacks of sh## and have to go hide for a while and come back with a new name. I had to change my name during the Pelini reign of terror. Jamrog was literally calling around trying to find out where I was. When somebody calls a family member looking for you.... It's why I try not to give out too much personal info about my family or where I live.

I had to change mine cuz my initial screen name was linked to an old email address that I didn't have access to any more. For one reason or another I couldn't get logged in so I said screw it and set up a new one.

Ahh sockpuppet, great times.

I’ve previously had several names in the mid to late aughts and was banned a lot but those were the college years. Smokin

And now you're sticking with the most change-worthy one of all! Haha

I can recall back when posters changed handles because a high post count was considered as not having a life, just languishing on a forum board. Now, a high post count translates to...?

Because you have already been banned, but need to let everyone know how awesome Iowa is.

I was a gold member for years and was banned for a month. Deleted my sub immediately out of principle. I kept my handle and eventually moved to the Free Husker Board. With social media sports news these days, I’ll never go back. But to address part of OP’s point, at some point the site/Rivals erased my post count. Kept my years though. That’s all that matters to me. #thruthickandthin #mostlythin #GBR

Pretty sad if he got that bent out of shape and angry about a football team.

I guess that explains the tone of his posts. Sounds like if Frost fails, he might go off the deep end.

I wonder if he's the guy that used to come up to my floor at UNK and watch the Husker games. This dude, in 1997, would have thrown the TV out the window if it hadn't been bolted down when OU scored...to make it Nebraska 62, Oklahoma 7.

Not the case, Colorado fan. I have 100% confidence in Frost. If morons like you ran him off I would just go cheer for the other school that he would dominate at and laugh at people who in the future would say things like this "we should not have fired Frost." lol.

We shouldn't have fired Solich to begin with. The rest was all professionals with a high level of incompetence.

I am terrible at recognizing alternate screen names and recurring posting styles. I also don't give a shiznit. I do however like to mess with newbs, Io_a trolls and people who pay $10/month to post on a free board. You know, the stupids.

I agree with your last paragraph. Your first one is complete BS.

Your faith also doesn't explain to us how you'll respond if he fails. Best case scenario....he only has to win 8 games next year to match Riley's record.

Very telling that you'd stop supporting Nebraska if they fired him at some point...and you label me a CU fan.....

Are you sure you're not his wife?

BTW--I haven't called for him to get fired.

So your loyalty is to Frost and not NU? Figures.

Kick rocks, homie.
