High school senior ball player=17 year old kid
Average Husker adult tweeter=35>>
Here's your sign....
Of course!So, by virtue of Tennessee's recent victory over Nebraska, that makes them the true #1, right?
No the kids know it's just a way to communicate. They probably put too much importance on how many follows or likes they get, but rest assured they don't think of most of their followers as friends. Or think those thatbtheybfollow are friends.
It's the 30s and 40s that think they are friends because they follow.
Best post on the thread so far. You nailed the difference and why anyone tweeting back to these kids is most likely an immature wannabe.
You guys need to stop bagging on Rick. Ever since he left this board, I haven't been able to find a decent deal on gently used bowl game sweatshirts.
Well I found a Husker jersey at the same institution he did. The difference is I got mine IN the store and paid for it.
You mean you're supposed to put clothes IN the donation bin? Who knew?
People really have poor reading comprehension on here. Let me quote my own posts:
"I totally agree that no one should be tweeting at recruits"
How the recruits act "Doesn't justify the troll tweeting from some fans"
The way adults tweet at recruits: "It's totally embarrassing, never said it wasn't."
so....Here is your sign.
Kind of like a sexy woman in a tight dress yelling at you for looking at her butt lol
You don't have to send twits to a high school kid to be a loser. If you follow a high school kid, you are a loser.
Anyone ever think we are the most annoying, because like Tennessee we used to be great. So unlike those other teams, we are more desperate then the other teams! It has been 15+ years since we have been relevant, you are going to have fans that are crazy as s***!
Bingo. I was wondering the same thing. Two great historic programs who have fallen into mediocrity. Two rabid fan bases desperate for relevance.
I am reminded of the comments made by Brock Huard during the Oregon game TV broadcast. He said it was the loudest stadium he had ever heard (and he played for Washington!) and the greatest environment for a college game he had ever seen. And he attributed that to the rabid desire of this fan base to be relevant again.
Yeah-like I made clear in another thread, I think tweeting at recruits is kind of creepy and actually can be counterproductive, but let's not act like we are somehow alone in this regard, or really even worse than other teams, despite what one poll may say.
You're still a kid regardless of your ability to do adult things. Not quite grown into that body, if you know what I mean. I think that you should be able to drink legally at 18, but that doesn't mean that 18 year olds do some very immature things. Speaking from experience, of course.
Ahhh......rick with the silent P....I actually miss him. Strictly for entertainment purposes.
No, I will just make it relevant to the topic..... Twitter users who have opposing opinions on healthcare, much like Nebraska and Tennessee fans, can be annoying. How can we get Twitter users that tweet recruits and about the ACA to stop?
It's my thread and I'll cry if I want to...
Besides, what else can be said about the twittering nitwits? I think we are all pretty much in agreement on that one.
There... I too have combined both discussion streams....

If great minds think alike, does that mean not-so-great minds also think alike?

Is there a way to unsubscribe to a thread?
But to actually get back on topic...
As obnoxious as it is to have adults tweeting young high school recruits, how many recruits have we actually lost because a kid got turned off by twittering Husker fans? I bet that number is very low.
I don't think those are our two choices.
However, as annoying as some fans can be on Twitter, I highly doubt it influenced anyone's decision. But maybe it did. Who knows? And that is the point. It certainly does not help recruiting and can potentially hurt it.
So stop it fools!
I don't see the comedy in it at all.Yeah. Seems like a normal and harmless Tweet to me.

Don't be upset. Your importance in the University will potentially be very damaging for me.
