Story ideas for the Inside Nebraska staff to pursue?

[Zack Carpenter]

What's up you (I assume) beautiful and wonderful people?

After the Feb. 1 signing day, daily news and topics about Nebraska football are gonna get a lot thinner (more thin?) until spring ball starts in mid-March. I just posted on our message board a "call for story ideas" and I wanted to do the same here. My staff and I already have a bunch of topics we want to pursue for long-form stories, human-interest features and columns. But I figured that there are things we haven't thought of that you guys and our subscribers would be interested in reading about.

So! ... What are some stories you think would be good for us to pursue? What are some topics you've been curious about or think would make for good feature stories? If you don't wanna reply here, my DMs and email are also open (insidenebraskarivals@gmail.com)

Exposé on the Frost/Raiola recruitment saga

Ed Foley seems like a walking human interest feature.

If the wife/kids of any of the coaches are comfortable chatting, those types of features usually bring out a lot of color & detail that makes for good reading & more personal connections with the staff.

I know I saw Bill O'Brien in a whole new light after the Hard Knocks season that gave a look into home life with his wife & special needs son.

Frost and the all the rumors. Are they true or false.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

I'd like to hear about the new S&C coach and the changes he's implementing

 

[Irv]

I would like some behind the scenes stuff with all of this support staff that seems to be so active in recruiting an on social - and see some discussion of how that compares to how that stuff had been staffed before.

It seems like NU is more heavily invested in these off-field guys than in the past and it would be cool to get to know them better and see what the plan is compared to the past and compared to competition.

 

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

Strength coach for sure. The rest is very visible

 

[ChocaEgg]

Any and all dirt on the Frost Regime.

Do an investigative exposé on the Adam Carriker / Nfluence scam Nebraska Gameday Experience.

Many of us here and on your board lost $1000s on these packages and want our money back!

Not every story has to feel good

I've asked $Dean for this before but he ignored it every time. I think Husker Fans would love to know what former Husker Players are high school, JUCO or college coaches. Do a "Where are they Now" piece. I know if I lived in an area where a former Husker was coaching I might take interest in their program. The other part is hopefully articles like this would help repair some of the lost connections with these former players. And it would give those coaches an opportunity to get some exposure for any recruits they currently have on their team. Many have tried in the past to connect with Husker coaching staff's when they had potential recruits but were ignored. I remember Craig Roark having 2 4-Star players on his team he wanted the Huskers to recruit but he couldn't get Pelini to even contact him back.

I'd love to know what Craig Roark, Jarvis Redwine........... are doing in the coaching world.

I was going to mention the same thing! This would be a great way to help some of your subscribers, we don't only support your site but obviously put money into the program by buying tickets, merchandise and feeding the Lincoln economy.

This would be much appreciated @Zack Carpenter !

Two parter: 1) if Frost gets the Alabama OC job like some believe he will, would he be drunk all day? 2) If Frost takes the OC job at Alabama, would Saban create a job for Matt Davison so Frost has somebody to get drunk with?

 

[Milo-of-Croton]

On his headline show, Dean Callahan said Frost was wandering around Thailand. Then Dean started talking about trying to smuggle drugs and life in prison...is Dean losing his marbles or is Frost really “...wandering around dirt roads in Thailand?” If he is in Thailand wandering around on dirt roads like Dean said, how is the cell reception over there if Saban wants to talk to him?

 

[Milo-of-Croton]

Serious question: What happened behind the scenes with Fred Hoiberg and Turd? Was changing up the staff and the difference in playing styles all Hoiberg ideas or were there conversations with Turd telling Fred what he expected to see?

Comp my sub @Zack Carpenter and I will give you the goods.

 

[Napkins]

Interview with Zavier Betts about his time away from the team and why he decided to come back to football.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Steve seems like he might actually know something about football/basketball, so having him cut up any interesting gifs on scheme, strengths, weaknesses, whatever would be cool and also good
