Dean

[BIGSTICK67]

I was having lunch at Gate 25 (not code for anything I promise) the day they called off the state basketball tournament in 2020 and I ran into him while he was covering a baseball game. I told him I was a scroller and he acted really weird. Almost intimidated. Really passive. Kind of a weird exchange. You’d think a dude who’s run a site like his for years would chop it up with a customer a little bit and it’s not like if I told him what my handle was he would only recognize me as a lurker.

That's interesting. Do you recall if he even seemed gracious or said thank you?

I've never really had (nor have) a bone to pick, but he does make me SMH. I view the board as entertainment vs. looking at my $10/month as a non-value. That's why RSS is successful, due to scrolling and interaction. Husker football banter and best BBQ sauce, etc. is a hobby, so I don't take it overly serious. There are multiple outlets that provide free info. Then there's TPB.

They also have the appearance of being lazy, but that's a "them" problem they'll need to address if they want to stay relevant. I still get enjoyment out of the banter on both TPB and RSS. Guess I'm not as angry or anal as some that get wound up about 1st world problems.

It was just a weird exchange all the way around tbh. I did catch him slightly off guard if I’m being fair to him. But it felt like the time I interacted with the CEO of a company I used to work for where there wasn’t really any engagement at all.

@Jim14510 has the best story about him when they saw each other at a mutual friends wedding. It’s his story to tell, but if he refuses I’ve got no issue stealing his thunder.

I wasn't actually at the wedding. Couldn't make it for some reason. Anyhow Dean and the guy that got married (mutual friend) are sitting there and 3 20 something gals sitting close by come over and say... can you take a picture? Well naturally Dean thinking he's Mr. Celebrity starts to move in with them to pose for the picture. The girls are like...we don't want you in the picture.

We want you to take the picture.

I'm kind of a big deal.

How many people are just there for lunch and how many to listen to Dean's "info". Image you're just minding your business eating your lunch and Dean walks in.

The picture looks like it was taken with a potato. Old guy on the right is killing it, shorts with suspenders, white socks pulled up, like I'm just trying to eat my quesada over here.

Guaranteed, if they do, they are most certainly wearing these...

 

[deltau46]

These guys are wondering who the fk this clown is and why do they have to take a picture with him.

One of Dean's big crowds. In reality they probably emptied out one of the local old folks homes "We are going out for lunch today, Yay!!! and we get to listen to Dean talk about the Huskers, Fuck not again".

Remember Dean pulls more people than Frost.

Frost asks Deab’s advice on recruiting numbers

 

[dsbigred1]

100% these folks were bribed with the promise of free fried ice cream or churros..

 

[Husker_in_OK]

So my mom told me the other day that when she taught middle school she taught Deab. Nothing earth shattering, but she said he was a very quiet kid and always sat in the very back, but wasn't a troublemaker. Was not a great student, very average, kind of lazy, and did just enough to get by. It is all starting to come together now as thats exactly how he runs RSS.

Ask her about his grammar.

 

[CornHub]

Did he really say that?

Yes. It was in a tunnel talk or something.

He didn't actually say Frost asked for advice.. that was RSS spinning it how RSS wanted to spin it. Frost was just curious as to what Dean's thoughts were, basically just checking what Dean knew.

Yeah that's not how I read it.
