NM11046 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I feel like some recruits tweet stuff like this bc they want attention and our fan base will go bonkers over stuff like this. I hope he has real interest I agree - and it's a game. This one has no interest just like the RB from Mississippi had no interest in anything other than building his twitter fan base. If Geb or Key asks for attention to someone I feel it's pretty legit and will help (they've got skin in the game, and are targeted with their requests), when others stoke the fire it's to make us look silly and to make egos grow. Kid's trying to get to 10k followers - he doesn't try to hide that on his Twitter. Wish we Neb fans weren't such suckers. Does anyone really care about "giving" a follow to someone on twitter? What's the down side of being one of these "suckers"? Guess I just don't like to have the good people of NE be the butt of anybody's joke, much less an 18 year old kid. I don't care about the follow thing at all personally, I'm puzzled by how much it means to kids today. So I guess it comes down to pride for me, and not being used for what I consider to be one of the greatest traits of of our fan base. 1 Quote Link to comment

Not sure where you get the "joke" thing - i wouldn't look at it that way. As for being used, in some ways everybody gets used and uses others in our day to day interactions - part of life and part of business. Now if it is all a one way street then it is usually best to close the street. Don't fill that is the case here, however even if it was - we continue to get the NU name out and it is a GOOD thing. Until we start winning games of importance we need to take the small steps. The big steps will follow!! Quote Link to comment

Atbone95 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 GOD, I love this staff. They just GET IT. De'Anthony Thomas is Tyjon's favorite player. He tweets all the time about him, and about comparisons people make to him and how he can come to Oregon and be the next DAT... Guess who just so happened to show up in Lincoln today to practice with Keith Williams? 2 Quote Link to comment

Warrior10 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Anyone known if Tyjon has recognized/publicly said something about DAT/KW? Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 His visit to osu for their big friday night lights will probably seal the deal with tyjon. If we win this recruit it would be a miracle and bc of Coach W. Would love to be wrong but everything seems to be pointing that way Quote Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 He said his #1 deciding factor is education. Said Ohio St is ranked near the top for his major and has a lot of connections with ESPN. But he also said Nebraska has the most academic all Americans. So I need him to elaborate on "education".

Mavric Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 I guess I tend to think unless they end up going to Stanford, Cal, Duke, Northwestern or the Ivy League, "education" is mostly just something they think they're supposed to say but probably doesn't end up playing as big of a role as they try to make people believe. 2 Quote Link to comment
