Well it’s a big deal to some on here

 

[rchrisreade]

Fickell did his presser this afternoon and said he knows nothing about it or if Raiola said something to him. He speculated that perhaps something was said between Raiola and Casey Rabach who is Assistant OL Coach for Wisky.

Maybe.

There is one person -- one -- bumping his gums at the opposing team's coach at the beginning of that video. That person is Fickell.

That's the kind of shit Carl Pelini was good at.

Carl? What about Bo chasing down Bill Snyder after a game.

Entertaining. Donovan is winning hearts and minds one at a time😉

The cop seemed to overreact. It happens, it is stupid.

Deny the blatantly obvious from the tape, accuse the other side of what you did, that you knew nothing of.

Seems to be acceptable these days.

Without knowing the story how do you know he overreacted? Because he’s a cop?

Raiola said something to Fickell about "how embarrassed he was as a Wisconsin alum that Fickell lost to NU".

I support law enforcement, and common sense, and what my eyes tell me, and I can say with 100% certainty the guy overreacted.

He flipped him off!

Looked like a thumbs up to me-but he was also smiling so he may have said something not so nice!

The horror! Something not so nice…in a rivalry game…on a football field. If I had a pearl necklace, best believe I’d be clutching it at the very thought.

Short of a threat of physical bodily harm, there was no reason for what looks like a Wisconsin rent-a-cop to grab a Nebraska coach like that. None.

But this is where I disagree with Donovan Raiola. If you fess up and say “Yeah, I called Fickell a (fill in the blank)”, you win the hearts of 90% of Husker fans who want to see a little swagger return to our downtrodden program. And if you say nothing, then the internet goes wild with unfounded rumors of what could have happened. Better to be upfront on this one.

Hard to say exactly what happened, but Fickell was clearly running his yap from 00:00 -00:03 followed by Donovan smiling about whatever he said, laughing about it, and giving a thumbs up.

Don't know what happened before that, or how much Donovan was jawing, but if Fickell appealed to a COP over some back and forth jawing, it completely explains the trajectory of their program.

Charmin soft.

Wisconsin.

TOS Callahan and Washut seem to be trying to deflect on it a lot “move on to Iowa” “doesn’t look like a big deal”. Seems odd

Means they know what was said and it probably doesn't paint us or Raiola in a good light.

If it was something that Wiscy coach Fickell did they most certainly would've brought the goods.

All that said idc either. Fux Wiscy now let's go and try and put foot to Iowas ass!!

sounds like the security detail for Fickell thought Donovan was a fan in a spot he shouldn't be. Had Donovan gone over to their sideline to talk to someone he knew on the Wisconsin sideline before the cop lost his mind? You would think he was threatening Fickell with a machete the way Barney Fife reacted.

Maybe he did threaten him

What could he have said that would have caused the cop to leave his security detail and grab Donnie’s arm like he was a 5 year old. Then just walk away after. If a cop is going to put their hands on you it better be for something worthy.
