  • Whats good scarlet.

    Husker site is right around the corner. Not sure which one yet, but its coming. Carolina Blue(rivals UNC site) is coming over April 1st. I believe LSU and Arkansas is right around the corner as well.

    Oh, and you will love the analysts here. Not sure who has the midwest, but they are great to converse with and answer questions promptly.

    Little to no flaming on this board. All really good conversation with grownups. I know, it may be like culture shock at first, but its great.

  • Well Im sure that I won't get more than speculation here, but Aaron Babcock just put a post up saying that some huge news about HI was coming this week. Could HI be coming over here, it seems a few rivals sites are doing that.

    I think you could be on the money.

    That would be sweet. The guys running HI are outstanding and that would clear up any dilemma I would have with coming over here. HI is the only thing keeping me on rivals, if they come over here, bye bye rivals.

    We are adding another 10 this year and probably 10-12 in 2012.

    Also, when asked "Are these sites essentially franchises, like they are on the other site?"

    Lucky said...

    No sir. One of the fundamental differences is that the majority of the team sites are owned by 247Sports and will have staff that works together. It is a different model. There are some obvious exceptions like BOL, Bucknuts, OUInsider, but many of our fastest growing sites are company owned and controlled. Such as Penn State, FSU, Texas, Tennessee, UGA, etc.

  • There may be truth to the HI staff coming here. I don't see Babcock's post about "big news coming" on there anymore. Someone must have removed it.

    Yeah it was pinned at the top this morning and now it's down. Interesting.

    Not sure what is going on, but them pulling down the post by AB is odd. My fingers are crossed.

  • It would be a huge win for 24/7 to get the HI staff. They have a pretty large following on there. There would be a big movement of Huskers to this site.

    A mass exodus would happen. Those guys are great and most people on RSS would follow them. That is one of the biggest rivals team sites.

  • Just a little insight but I'm pretty sure I saw a guy registered as Aaron Babcock in the "on this board" part early this morning. That is why I said something above. Maybe I am just seeing things though.

  • I just saw a thread that said the higher ups at Yahoo/rivals had the thread pulled. Weird things going on right now.pray

    Interesting.

    There was a thread on HI earlier that got pulled, Sean Callahan just said it was the decision of the higher ups at Yahoo to pull the thread for now. And thats the only thing he could say.

    That means that Husker Illustrated will be the Nebraska site move to 247, but they aren't ready for the word to get out.

    Great get 247. First BOL, then Carolina Blue, then Husker Illustrated? My God.

    Of course I could be wrong, but if I was wrong why would someone make a big deal about posting about 247?Wouldn't they just say "no" and laugh you off the board for a few hours?

    It's coming then. No upper guys can say anything I'm not sure why exactly but they haven't until a week or two before the move. Maybe one of the staff members here can tell us why they can't talk about leaving or sites joining.

    Im sure it is because of contracts and such, if this is what is happening. No one mentioned 247, but the writing on the wall seems to be getting clearer. Why take it down, it was locked to begin with. Something is going on, Im just not sure what yet. The guy who runs the site used to work as an analyst so Im sure he has connections to at least Barton over here, probably more.

  • It's b/c of contracts. Up until a couple of days before the move, BOL mods deleted all posts about 247. Couple days before the move Lucky said he would explain everything come March 1st and that was b/c of contracts.

    Seems like a strong indication that HI will be making the move...
