Is Mongo the greatest Husker personality on the web?

[Baron Winnebago]

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

Seems like they actually have cultivated within program connections rather than this "woe is me. No one is getting any info." approach

It seems clear to me that Schaefer has done a fairly good job getting in with Dillon and Mossbrucker. He also has a huge advantage on Clouse by having Steve Wiltfong feeding him information, too.

Fong is a huge advantage for sure, but I feel like Clouse wouldn't bother working with Hembolt or Gorney even if they were readily feeding him info. The guy is just completely disengaged.

Have you been following Clouse for the last 3 years? There are only so many different ways you can say "I dont know."

Oh hey I’m with you. I’m not comparing the two. I just think robin is a dbag and clause is checked out.

 

[Huskerbuck85]

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...

I think what your perception of Mongo was is exactly what that clown BigCL whatever is going for. Fuck that guy is an attention seeker with his random ducking posts about what movie he watches with his boyfriends and how much inside info he gets from random students. My guess is that the plethora of posts from that idiot are so he can try to get in with these guys.

I will say this about Robin: He is the only current staff member of HOL to get recruiting info. straight from a legitimate source.

I want to clarify my favorite Munsonism.

someone asks him a question about anything recruiting related and he will snarkily reply that this was addressed in an article 3 months earlier. he will never answer the question or link the article.

Absolutely, it's amazing. In my experience, it usually arises in one of three scenarios:

1) It's a halfway-legitimate indignance on Mongo's part as someone sees a simple tweet or other paltry report about a recruit and asks "why the hell haven't we seen anything about this guy here?" Mongo sometimes has done just that update, and very recently, so he comes in with this reply. Fair enough there.

2) Another source, usually but not always 247, breaks a new story of some import on a recruit. This information gets brought to the Scrolls, and excitement ensues. In response to either an implicit or explicit feeling that HOL is getting its lunch eaten by 247 (it usually is on recruiting stories), Mongo shuffles into the thread and raises the update he had on that recruit. Unfortunately, as you mention above, it's stale and doesn't really have much to do with the important information that's been broken by the other outlet. Still, Mongo feels like he planted his flag there months back, so that's worth something.

3) This is my favorite of them: Steve Wiltfong or someone else respected logs a CB for a recruit either in favor of Nebraska or moves off the Huskers to another school. There are now examples of both where Mongo has made that same prediction earlier without close to the fanfare. When he brings this up, the response is often "Well, okay, but we were waiting for someone credible to make this prediction before we got too excited." It's so damning, yet so funny.

oh ya, Mongo and his futurecasts might actually be my favorite thing about him. always 6 months early and he's very proud to point them out. its a direct reflection on Rivals shit technology because no one is ever aware that Mongo even put in a future cast.

Haha is anyone really sure Mongo isn't just Milton in the basement with the red stapler and some internet access? I like the guy actually, but his role is so undefined I am not sure where to place him on the hierarchy list. Kind of like a strange, funny uncle you always hear about, but never see, until they just show up for random drop in visits and then disappear again.

Mongo will also put in CBs for kids walking on at Nebraska. Mongo got to up that percentage.

OT: Any art lovers out there?

My brother just made a few interesting purchases and we were both looking into how to get the art appraised and determine if it needs to be insured. He bought a number of original paintings by John Wayne Gacy. The art was verified as authentic through some effort that was conducted in the 80s...

LOL. Holy Fuck. What kind of weirdo would collect Gacy paintings.

I can’t see the link, is that what it is?

 

[Havoc34]

Sounds like Mongo’s brother bought some art by John Wayne Gacy and they were inquiring RSS about how to get it appraised. Fuckin weird and weirder to ask the scroll taters about it

He bought a number of original paintings by John Wayne Gacy. The art was verified as authentic through some effort that was conducted in the 80s or 90s when they had collectors bring in the art by Gacy to get it authenticated.

I think that I have seen that it's believed there are thousands of paintings. Gacy would make money doing it and selling the paintings to people that wanted them with the famous clown that he would paint.

My brother actually has one piece that was dedicated to, I assume to be, Gacy's sister. He dedicated it on the back of the painting and signed it. All of the paintings are like 8x10 and have the clown in various colors.

Anyway, looking for some direction on where to take these things (someone has told us Antique Roadshow) but they have suspended it for now due to Covid. Additionally these seem like specialty items and some folks may not appreciate them because of him being a serial murderer. Anyway...wanted to ask here.
