ESPN wants reaction. If can be good or bad but reaction sells. And if all else fails they can apologize and rake in an even bigger profit windfall. Ignoring them is the only answer.

Money talks. Just not watching want change that fact. So my suggestion is to pick a few large companies that advertise on ESPN such as Nike. And tell them to pull their advertising dollars and stop buying their products. If there is a large enough sales drop to the those companies, that is a real and tangible affect and they will pressure EPSN to straighten their act.
Option 2 is the suggestion to have a classic TO response.

The first options isn't really an option. Nike, Adidas, Apple...none of them are going to budge an inch based on NU fans "boycotting" them.
Yep, I wouldn't go all nut job, I see what your saying but would love to see Huskernation drop one right back in their lap. If TO came out and said ignore it, well I would. You know Bils... just don't like our coach dissed on national
So do we not reply to ESPN like we dont reply to GFOA,,,treat em like posers that dont know the true history of husker football, and have a hidden agenda and come out after every loss and spout..... wait... GFOA has been silent lately..... ooops, never mind... the silence and no "LOL" and "obviouslys" haven't shown up for a month now....why is that????????
True that boycotting wouldn't have an impact. But also illustrates the sad truth of how little power consumers can influence companies like ESPN.
Consumers can influence companies...it just it's gotta be about something more than boohooing about someone going off on a coach going off

Try telling that to all of the recruits that do nothing but watch ESPN. What transpired today has the potential to be damaging to a program. Do I think it will hurt us, probably not. If it turns away one recruit, well then yes it is damaging. In the era of the Craig James's I guarantee you people pay attention. And rather or not if you choose to ignore it, it does not help out whatsoever.
It would be hilarious if we had a petition at whitehouse.org stating "We aren't exactly happy with the comments but understand that people have their own opinions." We could get 25K easy!
Honestly, at only 25K, we could probably get a new petition addressed every week, without even using bots.
Maybe not but do you think the recruiting relationships that our coaches build are that fragile or that the social media savvy recruits would miss some of the player interviews that followed last weeks game?
We can't do much about what ESPN says (sure, don't give them anything) because they will drive the agenda they choose.
The effect, if any, would be more subtle than someone they are really "in" with right now saying "no thanks". Could be some sophomore or Junior where that realationship isn't even established yet...sitting around with his dad watching this morning saying "man, that dude's bananas!"
Then again it might work both ways. How many times have you heard people say "i'd let my son play for Bobby Knight any day!" I know my dad did. Too bad my dad's son never had the skills!
Yeah...and the kid can be watching the Nebraska games and say the same thing without having seen gameday
