Dear Twitter:
We've had a #NewProfilePic before, but this time is so much different--we've got a new purpose.
#RealSkers is now the Twitch/Discord community for @CornFedSports.
It was only a matter of time before 'message board culture' evolved. We wanted to make it fun.
Ranted much more than I wanted to, but the first Twitch stream is in the books.
We'll have clips and highlights that we'll put out on this Twitter page.
This is only the beginning!
It’s a blank screen for another minute or so, but we are LIVE for the first time ever at https://t.co/tp0Nb4vuYv for our debut edition of #MondayMorningHuskerChat...
Join us?
Yesterday, the #Huskers women’s basketball team upset a top 25 team.
Neither of the Nebraska ‘columnists’ tweeted about it. Today, they both tweeted about a football game that had nothing to do with NU.
Don’t tell us it’s about women’s sports not being popular, it’s a lie.

Same kids that get into their cars after the game and listen to Lil Yatchy, Chance & Young Thug. Same kids who wear LeBron’s and Retro Js! Same kids who want tapper fades with lines in their hair! SMH!
New profile pic, new attitude and new content coming this week.
It's a whole new era is #Huskers sports coverage, and it starts by going 'Around the Corn'...
It’s been way too long since we’ve put out new content.
That changes this week.
College sports needs a shot in the arm, and while we may not be the needle, someone’s gotta swab the spot and get you ready. That’s us.
@NEfred@CornFedSports@tomshatelOWH No we’re saying that having a relative who is female or non-white does not mean you’re an expert on racism or sexism. We need more sports reporters/columnists that represent today’s athletes.
Today, one of the few paid columnists in the #Huskers sphere said he can’t be racist cus he has a mixed race grandchild.
Then there’s @tomshatelOWH who is the ‘father of daughters’ so he can define what is sexual harassment.
This media market is plagued by old white dudes.
@EricGerrard Eric. You casually accuse someone of being racist and then go about your day. That is incredible. I’m sure my grandson, whose father is African-American, will appreciate your comments. I’ll make sure to mention there are people like you out there during our driving lesson tonight
Working journalists have been getting laid off like it’s a sport in Nebraska.
@HuskerExtraSip still gets paid to be a columnist about college sports, and is liking tweets about how athletes are wrong for protesting.
This media market is broken.
Athlete activism like what these NU student-athletes showed last night isn't going away.
The NBA, NFL, and even some NCAA teams are kicking down that wall.
The #Huskers media can choose to ignore it & act surprised when a NU player uses their platform, or they can cover it now.
This thread from @DrakeKeeler is worthy of your time.
I completely agree with him. Even with Ted Carter's hot mic dominating the day, & everybody waiting for the B1G announcement, surely one of the 20+ journalists who cover a #Huskers team could have bothered to show up.
@vergi01@cornfedcntryboy @Sirles71_HSKR @itsgabrielleu Black former #Huskers have said this “he doesn’t speak for us narrative” only masks the racism that exists.
We’re going to listen to them.
