Opinion from outside of our bubble from the On3 guys on Dylan Raiola: "He wants to play 7 on 7 when the game is 11 on 11."

That hit me like a thunderbolt.

My position, since before he was a Husker, was that he was addicted to the all star games, QB showcase camps, 7v7 circuit part of the process He loves the accolades and the easy QB friendly games. He loves being recruited. Now I heard someone unattached to our program say the 7v7 thing and all my misgivings about the dude came back.

Then I saw the Oregon photo shoot commitment shots and am still convinced that he loves that stuff more than the game.

I mean honestly how many photo shoots has he done to try to splash social media?

He's got professional shoots for OSU, Georgia, Nebraska and now Oregon. And at Nebraska I know he was in a ton of them for other players. I'm convinced he transfered because he felt he needed something to post.

How long until he starts a podcast?

I'm Gen X and the worst thing you could be called was a poser. Bring me guys who live and breathe football.

Insane that he still has eligibility after playing 6 years:

Wow. I thought he was selling insurance or mutual funds by now.

The photos he got at Oregon are dogshit though. They look like Daddy Raiola took them with his cell phone. You'd think with all their money they could afford a better photographer.

OYE! Whistle.

For fuck’s sake… all of you whiny little cunts—“Matt Rhule this, Nebraska sucks that, we’ll never win again, recruiting’s trash, nobody wants us, we should be this, we should be that…” Christ on a fucking bike, shut the fuck up! You lot sound like a funeral and a bloody comedy show rolled into one. Pathetic. Soft. Fucking weak.

And let’s add the rest of this shitshow: our defensive recruits are too small, our offensive line is too fat, AND WE HAVE NO FUCKING RUNNING BACK. ONE LOT CAN’T HIT HARD ENOUGH, THE OTHER LOT CAN’T MOVE! And THEN—then!—we hire some wanker from a community college like it’s a charity project. “Trust the process,” my arse! Meanwhile, we did hire from Miami… just not the RIGHT Miami. Oh no, that would’ve made too much fucking sense, wouldn’t it?!

And Matt Rhule? Total arsehole to Ekler. Yeah, he’s leaving. Not that Ekler hasn’t been at more schools than the Mighty Ducks man himself, Dylan Fucking Raiola, but still—what a goddamn disaster.

Here’s the thing you lot don’t get: we spend all our time sitting on the outside, guessing what these kids are gonna do out there, then coming back at halftime to moan and complain when it’s not exactly what we imagined. We don’t know what it’s like in the locker room. We’re not on the pitch with them. We can’t look them in the eyes and push them to be better than they ever thought they could be. But you? You just sit there judging, whining, acting like the world owes you a victory.

And that’s why all this moaning is useless. Judging and complaining won’t fix a defensive line that can’t hit, an offensive line that can’t move, or the fact we have no running back. It won’t stop Ekler from leaving, and it sure as fuck won’t fix hiring the wrong Miami or a community college wanker.

STOP. FUCKING. WHINING.
Stop pointing fingers. Stop crying. Stop acting like life owes you a win.

Grow a fucking pair. Back the team. Demand better by putting in the work. Scrape. Fight. Bleed. Stop being pathetic. Or just stay home and keep crying—it’s all you’re good at anyway.

New Character alert. Interesting persona...Welcome, Roy.

Type of kid that if Nebraska had tampered with to get him to portal...we could at least see they had a plan for pass rush.
