Favorite Dumb Dean Moments

I think there's a "throw it here and either draw the PI or the WR can come back to it" type of strategy...but the question is still dumb.


What do you think Dylan's going to say, "Yeah I underthrow on purpose because letting them try to catch it would be worse".
Yeah the bottom line is, even if he were doing it on purpose (which I don't think he is) he would be dumb to admit that at a presser. You're basically telling the refs "I'm trying to do this"...TBH it's not really in the spirit of the game. Any QB that actually admitted this would get terrible treatment from the refs basically forever.

FTR I actually think Raiola has under thrown those deep balls on accident. I don't think he's trying to get DPIs.
 
Any time he says a rumor is definitely not true knowing damn well he knows it is. Why not just say it’s an unconfirmed rumor and we can’t have it on the board.

Oh and then when it is confirmed true he’ll say he knew it was true the whole time.
Has always been my favorite. The guy running the insiders board where people pay money for that type of data, who won’t break anything due to his journalistic integrity.
 
And then rubs it in by going "we knew ____ info six weeks ago but weren't able to share it."
Cause well it’s news, but we didn’t want to let the news out and had to respect the news and our integrity…so we kept the news to ourselves…so freaking dumb

You’re not Channel 8, you run an insiders info board where people PAY you for info
 
Dollar Dean always talks about his journalistic integrity. Does he even have a degree in journalism?

Haven’t you heard that him Sam M and Dirk we’re all at J School together at UNL? The daily Nebraskan sports section never had it so good.
 
Not defending Dean- but I’m sure it’s something there is where the goal is DR and the WR to receive a PI call.

Dylan has exceptional accuracy, and our WRs who are getting these called are big bodied. Could use it as an advantage
Are you and Dean aware that college DPI isn’t a spot foul past 15 yards. Also if you could just put the ball wherever on command like that you’d just hit the guy in stride so he had a chance to get yards after the catch.

No one would actually practice or work on this.
 
In Raiola's presser this week, I laughed as hard as I've laughed in a while at this interaction (paraphrased):

Dean: Dylan, How much have you mastered that "draw the pass interference throw"? Is that something that you see there?

Dylan: Honestly, no. We want to complete passes.

And I just cannot stop thinking about it - so - with that, it seems time to revisit our favorite dumbass moments...
There's too many to count. He's like a dumb moment factory.

Back shoulder throws on deep balls, it's 100% on purpose.

When he ran some poll in 2021 to see who thought Frost should be fired and it was just like 15% of us. Since we lost the poll and NU retained him, he made a bunch of "15 percenter" jokes like we were a bunch of morons.

Then 2022 happened and Callahan went to his, "behind the scenes we knew it was over long ago."
 
After the Pelini blow up during the Cockeye game and most people thought it was the end for him, Dean wrote a story about why he thought Bo would be fired. They announce Bo is returning and Dean deletes the article from existence and immediately deleted any posts referencing the article on the board.

I always find his lack of awareness for customer service and making everything about himself astounding. Everytime rivals had a major outage during NSD he would give half hearted apologies and never take accountability. He would make himself the victim and play the “I have to feed my family” card.

Not when there is help over the top. You play percentages
 
Thin Skinned Dean has had his fair share of embarrassing moments. Not enough time to list them all but here are a few of my favorites:
- Pie & Salsa
- the story of pelini chewing him out
- making fun of us 15%'ers
- bragging about his Prime Rib Recipe
- selling his used Weber Grill on Husker Online
- bragging about running into Scott Frost while Trick or Treating
- having a meltdown when he saw the parody video of Husker Media
- showing off his "Massive" vertical by touching the crossbar on the goal post
- and who can forget his awkward chest bump
