Deab already in damage control mode

I feel bad for Dean , I really like him as a person & he’s worked hard to build this thing for a long time. I’m giving him this year to figure it out before I pull out (haha) but we’ll see how it goes. Glad to see TT will be coming back weekly now.. The recruiting dead period has really hurt them too without the normal info coming out they would normally have

Lol, I had almost forgotten about that. Man, I was pissed. To be fair, most of that was just what an utter shit sandwich it was looking forward to the start of the Frost era all year and all day (it was a night game, of course) and then getting the worst case of blue balls ever. But still, Dean was definitely only worth following on twitter that night. People were just copying his tweets onto the board instead of him coming on himself. It wasn't a great look.

I bet you still enjoyed some bourbon or other such delicacy that night.

On a different note, the creation of 247, and subsequent loss of the Huskers Illustrated partnership had to be tough for Dean. It sucked for his content, because Aaron and Mike Babcock were really good partners to have. If I remember correctly, at the launch of 247, Dean had to announce that Huskers Illustrated would be moving to the newly created 247. I don't think HI and 247 are affiliated anymore, though.
 
I commented on the original post and got this DM dropped in my Mail Box by Dean:

Can you tell me what inside info I’ve shared on Twitter before the board recently? Specific examples? Also find for me inside nuggets on Tunnel Talk I’ve ever shared on Twitter? I take attacks on me and our work very personally, and I hope you understand.

At least he offered some form of Olive Branch to try to throw the mob off his scent. . Dean and I have a very sorted past. Back when Rivals use to crash on Signing Day we really got into it not only on the board but also in DM's. I took a day off for signing day and basically made him promise me it wouldn't crash again like it had the year before. And it did. To say I was pissed is an understatement. He whined like a little baby back bitch to me in DM's about how it was out of his control and he thought it wouldn't crash. Also cried about how the site was how he fed his family.

I'm sympathetic that this covid/cancellation thing is fucking up the man's business, but other than an additional late morning chat, he hasn't really done much to try to make people stay.

@HuskerGarrett, be forewarned...there will be anarchy if the platinum board crashes on signing day, and you might get a new and unflattering nickname.

I probably was enjoying them earlier in the day watching a nice opening day of college football. By the time it looked like the Akron game was getting fucked up, I was too pissed to be drinking the good stuff.

I think I was between accounts when the 247 thing happened. During my initial run, which started in 2002, Scout was the main competitor. They obviously only folded a few years ago, but 247 stole their thunder a while ago. I got off sometime during the Pelini era, so it must have been then.
 
To be fair to Deano, Nebraska is a lockbox right now and nobody’s getting any info. Sucks for him and other sites, and Twitter isn’t helping anything outside of being a amalgamation of information that previously was had only by his type of site. He’s getting eaten alive. I have no idea of what’s happened on HO recently but it’s pretty clear to see.

It won’t happen here!!

But still, be prepared for @TraditionCoalition or someone else to give you an unflattering nickname. It's bound to happen to any fire edit creator that sticks around long enough.

But also, it's a bad idea to give yourself a nickname. Freshman year in college, a guy with the last name Haney introduced himself "my friends call me Porno," and a few weeks later, everyone called him "Porney."

I had completely forgotten about scout, and I wonder if my memory is confusing scout with 247. I don't think so, but I also doubt there is a wikipedia page for that sort of progression.

I feel for him and want the product to improve. Responded telling him to listen to his paying customers, not be thin skinned and owning a business is not about being right. It's about hearing your customers complaints and trying to appease them even if he doesn't necessarily agree with them. And that some of his Mods really suck
