Redux Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 It's not a link to his article. It's a review of it. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 idk what blasting news is as a site or organization, but that article isn't news. it's equally as non-news as david hookstead's trollish hot takes. Quote Link to comment
cheekygeek Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 This stuff is all a good sign: The Big Red Revival is clearly very far inside Hookstead’s head. If NU and Scott Frost can get into opponents heads even a fraction as deep, it is going to be a great year. 1 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 That's my takeaway. This guy is clearly worried about us and is trying to stir up as much Badger hate ad he can. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 The way that Husker fans get riled up over some rando on the internwebs knows no bounds. Quote Link to comment

RedSavage Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hate to give him clicks but here's the article if you want a good laugh: https://dailycaller.com/2019/06/21/nebraska-football-navy-seal-video/#disqus_thread He's like an 8th grade angry ex-gf Quote Link to comment
badgers007 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Said it on Page 2 and I'll say it again: David Hookstead is a running joke at Wisconsin. Dude was not liked during his time on campus. If you're looking for a rivalry driver, this ain't it. 2 Quote Link to comment
Hilltop Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Talked to a group of friends over lunch today. All of us have been Husker Fans since the late 80s. I asked them if we could only guarantee one win between Wisconsin and Colorado, the answer was unanimous - Kick Colorado's butt.... and run the score up. You switch Colorado for Texas or Oklahoma and answers would likely differ but the reality is Wisconsin just isn't to that level yet with a good portion of our fan base. They have embarrassed us a couple times but so have a lot of other over the same period of time. I think it is difficult to consider anyone a rival until you are good. When you're bad, (like Baylor was back in the day and like we have been recently) you just struggle to develop the strong emotions necessary to build an opponent up to rivalry status.

For me ... this view would keep us stuck on the past. To really move forward ... the most important win is to beat Wisky. They are in our own side of conference. We must learn to win the Wisky and Iowa teams and then take on OSU, Mich and Penn St. and make this our rivalry (as we step on Wisky and Iowa each year). I don't really hate the Buff's ... we've beaten them up pretty good through the years except for a few. They should hate us. For me, I'm wanting to get restored so our main rivalry is the OSU/Mich/Penn St. team to beat. I don't care which of these teams becomes our rivalry ... I just want to be the rivalry game for them ... because we are always in the B1G championship game and win it! Quote Link to comment
