All, Been thinking about all of this for a while so here goes Recruiting Forum - This is now publicly viewable. Up until now this has been members only. There were a couple of reasons for this. Mainly I didn't want anything on this forum to be the reason a guy didn't commit and on a lesser note to encourage people to register. These days if I search around on the internet for a recruit's name he'll end up showing up on a few Husker forums out there already. I think overall we tend to paint a pretty fair to mostly positive picture of a guy. Also you'll notice that this is a sub-forum instead of it's own forum now. I think there are people here who prefer to navigate to only one place so this should make it easier to find. For everyone else it shouldn't be much of an adaptation. Handle Change - When I first started on this site as a regular members I started with the name "Droppin Dimes" and then changed to "HHCDimes" when I started running the site. Like most everyone else around here I didn't go by actual name and hadn't seen any advantage to it. I've considered that people might be more open in confiding to me in the future if they actually know who I am instead of some anonymous guy on a message board so now I'll be going by "HHCMatt" and you'll see in my profile that my name is Matt Knobbe. For a very small sub-section of people here you'll know me as the Tecmo Super Bowl guy. :). Eventually I'll change my avatar and what not. Women's forum name change - This is in honor of Brian "Row6Seat10" Karnatz who passed away last year. Without him there wouldn't be a women's section on this forum. Thanks @Norm Peterson and anyone else who suggested this.

Had heard some rumors of this and now it's official - NU will play two exhibition games at home vs other schools during fall baseball. http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=211771434 These will be before the Red/White scrimmage dates in late October. (I wonder if they eventually shift the Sept. 22 baseball start time to later in the day with NU-Michigan football now set for 11 a.m.) NCAA passed a new rule this year allowing up to 2 fall exhibition games without it counting against 56-game limit in the spring. In the past, the NCAA allowed teams to take up to 4 of those 56 spring games and play them as exhibitions in the fall instead, but they'd count against the 56-game limit. Hardly anyone used it, because everyone wants to try to get 56 games in the spring. This rule is much better. I see Purdue is playing its 2 exhibitions against junior college teams - that might be a really smart idea going forward for NU baseball for recruiting purposes. Get a talented juco team in here, let them see the facilities, etc. https://www.jconline.com/story/sports/blogs/nathan-baird/2018/08/22/purdue-baseball-taking-advantage-new-rule-allowing-fall-exhibitions/1066118002/

This! When your wife says "Are you on Husker Hoops again" when you are sitting across the room with your laptop open... you are doing something right.

Get Southeast, maybe IWCC and either Hutch or Garden City up here to play. Love that idea

It was a very enjoyable evening last night at the Press Club honoring Kent. The speakers were good, and coach Miles has a career in stand up comedy when he hangs up the whistle. In fact Dan (Larry the Cable Guy) jokingly said he wasn't sure how he was going to follow the "Timmy Show". It was a great night had by everyone in the sellout crowd.
