Tweeting Recruits


Recommended Posts

Reports are that Husker fans' over-exuberance on social media is backfiring in some cases. In at least a couple specific cases this cycle recruits would tweet something Husker-related just so they and their friends could laugh at the perceived desperation of Husker fans responding and drooling over it. Guys that the Huskers had offered and were recruiting but obviously not particularly interested, just looking for laughs.

I was always pretty confident that was one of the reasons they did it (along with collecting more followers).

 

"hurling yourself at 18 year old recruit" guy, is also "adult wearing team jersey" guy..... Just to be clear.

Lol. That is pretty amusing

It's basically the same 15-20 accounts too. I feel terrible for the kids that get bombarded by Husker fans whenever they tweet something. I don't have an issue with favoriting a tweet when they mention the huskers but writing out all the reasons to come to Nebraska and basically begging the kid to come here is sad.

 

I've seen something as basic as a recruit tweeting thinking 💭 and then 20 Husker accounts all jump in saying hope your thinking gbr ect... makes Nebraska look bad in my opinion

But it isn't even that way though. For every 3 Husker fans, I guarantee you there is some OSU fan who has decorated their profile and made it their mission to be the most obnoxious, idiotic "Husker fan" these recruits have ever seen - on purpose.

I've seen those too. But they're not the ones that I'm talking about, it's usually easy to tell who is a troll and then the die hard fans who haven't learned boundaries yet

 

Edit to add: I think the majority of our fans know boundaries but the 15-20 die hards that don't paint a poor picture for the rest of us. (Which probably happens to some extent for all fan bases)
