The RSS discussion of Raiola's stylistic differences from Austin is infuriating

[huskerj12]

Bipolar Bo stories are the best. This is obviously a tangent but he was truly a classic character in college football. He burned out too fast and hot to become an all-time-great character, but the fact that he regularly cycled back and forth between lovable rascal/loyal family man/absolutely unhinged psycho makes the stories all the better. If he was ONLY dark and evil the stories wouldn't be as entertaining. But he was just genuinely nuts. Someday Dirk should write a tell-all book.

One of my favorites, courtesy of Nate Clouse in a Chat awhile back: A local car dealership loaned a car to NU during a recruiting weekend, a lowly NU minion took the car out on the town and then lied about it, the car dealer took issue with this, Bo told him to go fuck himself and left the car on the side of the road on 13th and D with the keys inside and the doors open.

A book full of stories like this would be comedy gold.

I was at a football Clinic in Columbus, OH last week and snuck away from my booth to get in a few offensive speakers because I just find it fascinating. Sit through one of those if you get the chance and want to see just how stupid @JThomasOmaha and the general fan is when it comes to technique and scheme.

I feel like most football fans drastically overestimate their understanding of the game.

Oh 100%, I don’t expect myself or any fans to know the ins and outs of technique. But I just want Deab to acknowledge that and don’t own a site and feed us a line of bullshit that everything will be fixed and it will be unicorns and rainbows because our coach is going to fix things by telling guys to “Be more aggressive”.

It’s also the classic RSS-tater move to pretend to know the schemes and that ours are broken because of poor results, even though there’s enough access to resources out there than a low-division high school coach won’t be running a broken scheme, let alone a coach that’s had his film combed through and picked apart before even sniffing an interview at a D1 program.

This “attacking style” line has been used a bunch in the past too - I’m virtually certain that Bo’s staff was going to replace Callahan’s paddy cake style, that Austin was going to do the same for Cav, and now apparently Raiola is going to for Austin.

It’s amazing more OLine coaches don’t coach aggressiveness when it apparently solves all issues.

Football isn’t that complicated boys. Lot of ridiculous pats on the back in this thread. A LOT of players in the south can barely read. Please continue to go on and on about how complex it all is. This is comical

Right up there with “teaching the DBs to look back for the ball”

Coming blazing off the ball and whiffing...but as long as you're aggressive

My coaches always said that if you were going to be wrong, you better be aggressive and wrong.

I always laugh at this gif.

For sure.

Bush gets up like he wants to say......bring it you fucking moron from Shit Stain, Iraq.

Love me a good OL discussion. It might help if we did more bench press and move our feet a little better. Our footwork is tUrrible

FIFY

 

[Boondock_St_Sker]

SUPERB!!!

 

[Steveweiser316]

Riaola is going to change the culture in that OL room

They played like pussies under Austin

Under Riaola it will be like it was in the 90s

That's why I try to just fish for funny stories or info about past drama when I ask a question haha

That's about the only thing interesting anymore. You only have to wait a decade to get anything good they are willing to share though 🙄
