Is Mongo the greatest Husker personality on the web?

I mean the bar isn't set very high. I think Robin does a good job for the shitty product the basketball program has produced for years on end, plus he pulls his weight on the football team more than Nate. Is that all Mongo does for a job? If so, not sure he's up to par either, but he's got a good personality and likes to jive on the scrolls some.
 
Mongo talks out of his ass. As an example, he wrote that Matt F. was headed to Lincoln for a visit (this was before he committed). I sent a message to him, Clouse, Matya, and Dean saying that was wrong. Mongo said no, he was right. Matt was standing right next to me during the exchange. Said he hadn't talked to Mongo and wasn't coming that weekend.

Sipple is worse.
 
Mongo looks like Woodward & Bernstein compared to Clouse. I’ve never seen a guy who is supposed to be an “expert” reply with “I’m not sure” or “It remains to be seen” so many times.

Mongo at least has a “real job” too...I think he works in IT consulting. Clouse tries to sell baseball cards.

Robin is by far the best. He obviously has a source within the bball program (Matty A) that puts the football guys to shame.

he checked our hard after that last Riley class fell apart and Frost came in - or he lost his connections and simply can’t contribute anymore - either way his value plummeted over the last couple years

It's soo obvious too...on both of those things. What I find amazing is that Dean continues to trot him out there as the "recruiting expert" even though he provides no insight or value, and seems completely disengaged. What an embarrassing look for HOL.

He’s good at the BBall side but he should just stay off the football chat. Never seen someone respond with such little intelligence when it comes to the football questions. Not saying deab is right about anything but the two never have the same answer.

They’re all just guessing or stating it’s too early to really say. If they know information (as Sean claims to from time to time), they keep it quiet until someone else confirms on Twitter (but hey at least they knew before everyone else even if they didn’t share).

I really do remember feeling like RSS had insight at one point but honestly can’t remember when.

I agree. The Friday message we get here from waterboy or whoever that is is far more than we can get from those guys and actually some damn good info.
 
Damn they pay Mongo? I always figured he was like a souped up unpaid mod who they let write occasional articles to fill content.

Love razzing him and listening to his anti-vaxx stance. He seems like a good, simple dude and always figured he volunteered and got comped a membership or something.

The more you know...
 
Twitter has totally undercut them. Kids now provide updates on their own recruitment and no one really cares to read the same "I know Nebraska sucks dick now, but my grandpa told me they were good so I'm intrigued" interview 50 times a year

Somehow the guys on 247 produce original content. Schaefer and Christopherson are light-years ahead in producing info.
