Washut should be given the reins over there. He's far more objective than Dean has ever been. There's enough of an air of "I don't give a shit" to Washut that speaks to me.
If Dean really wanted to make a splash, open it up with him at Memorial field dunking on the goal post and yelling I'm back bitches....I'd at least give him so props for it.

Robin has been just as bad. I DM'd him inside information on a 4 Star recruit Amani Bledsoe. I was good friends with Amani's Trainer who had played pro football and was helping him with his recruitment. I gave Robin the whole story with my source, including that Amani had no interest in going to Nebraska because he thought Bo Pelini was an ass hat and he hated cold weather. But he loved driving 3 hours to Lincoln to watch a game and be treated like a king. What high school kid wouldn't want college girls drooling all over them? Robin ended up writing a huge fluff piece talking about how we were in a good position to get Amani Bledsoe.
Multiple times I have had true inside connections on recruits and Dean's crew thumbed their nose at me every time I passed the information on to them if it was negative. That was when I really started paying attention to the kool aid they were serving. Can anyone name 1 time Dean has written a negative article calling out a coach? He makes his money off of selling subscriptions and lost his journalistic integrity years ago. WHo knows maybe he will find it with his new site. He's a businessman now and no longer a reporter.
I’ll never forget after the Cockeye game last year when Matya (RIP) posted a thread that was titled something like “Frost deserves for that to be his last game here” and then it was zapped within a few minutes. Classic.

I don’t doubt any of the above - I’m just saying that Robin has run the Tater Island site in Dean’s absence far better than Dean ran RSS. There’s at least a little bluntness and honesty whereas Dean is just on full blown North Stadium stenography duty at all times.
