Has to be a first

@What1992 & @TraditionCoalition are waging a brutal psychological warfare campaign on the lad.
I’ve actually majorly laid off him the past few months.

Rick Shaw going scorched earth on him though last night was the last straw. Rick had been hinting at dissatisfaction lately and then, boom, tossed a YOLO bomb. Dean didn’t handle it well.

Starting to feel bad for old Deano.
 
Just on the scrolls. Sean is adding more resppnses to yesterday’s chat questions. Don’t think I’ve ever noticed that before.
His wife probably wants a Peleton for Christmas and Baller Dean probably used a GroupOn to buy it. If people cancel their subscriptions and his nest egg dries up he can't get a money back refund from GroupOn.
 
Rick truly broke Dean:
My assumption about how this soured so much is that Rick likely was getting comped for over a decade, and then suddenly lost access and had to start paying. Probably way off, but he seems to have soured real quick and is taking jabs pretty consistently before throwing that haymaker
 
Dean - I wish I had time to listen to more podcasts. I probably spend way to much time on the board and it's honestly taking a lot out of me. There are days when I need to learn to walk away vs. trying to take people on.

man, he really seems beaten down. I almost feel bad for him.

Probably an ignorant question, but who is Rick Shaw and why would he be comped/suddenly lose access?

You need to have been on the scrolls for a long time to know much of Rick.

I think he ran a lot of the message board stuff, and even wrote recruiting articles back before Dean and Matya bought Roz out and Huskers Illustrated bolted for 247.

In my memory, he's been mostly quiet for a long time, but has become more outspoken in the past year or so.

In addition to my previous post, Rick has, in the past 11 months, gone to bat defending Dean and Matya while describing the evolution of the site, then being super critical of Dean more recently.

There are a few historical RRS members that have gone from great poster -> shitty poster -> gone from RSS.

I remember when RedCap was one of my favorite posters. He woke up in Georgia each morning and posted a daily list of links to every NU sports-related news article that was available before I had climbed out of bed. He was fun to interact with for a while, and provided a great service to the board. I can't remember now when or why that changed, but he became almost as negative about everything as wwstormkink is these days, then either voluntarily went away or was given an all-inclusive ticket to Detroit.

In conclusion, people change, but it seems like they only change for the worse.

If memory serves correct, RedCap was a super Boliever and took all of that transition VERY personally. Standing by their Bo led more than a few to madness.
