ISR Dan Dakich is a Douche Bag thread

Like a blind squirrel finding a nut, even those evil bastards occasionally get something right
He's pretty much into shock jock territory now anyways so his employers probably like the attention. Honestly best thing to do is ignore him.
Completely agree. I hate getting mad over internet **** but this is so far beyond the pale. He’s a ******* waste of space.
Well, he's currently trending on Twitter in Iowa...
What I appreciate is that it is Cyclones, Hawkeyes, Badgers, Panthers, Huskers, even a Baylor fan. What a crappy way to unite people, though.
I assume the Baylor fan you saw was Joe. I don't have twitter anymore, but back when I did I would interact with him once in a while. He's a good dude.
Joe is one of them. There’s been a couple of other ones. Joe and I are good friends now after interacting with him last year.
Obviously there's other things that come up that are far beyond it but most sports trash talk/rivalries etc. is petty banter having to do with games with plays and scores.
A line was crossed here though.
I’m currently in hour 8 of my 12 hour Twitter ban for going after Dakich.
social media has allowed people to get attention they normally wouldn’t get. Some people will post whatever they can to get the most attention drawn to themselves. They don’t care if it’s in horrible taste.
The best way to stop this behavior for these people is to ignore them. Once they realize nobody is paying attention, they’ll simply stop posting.
So even talking about it here is only feeding into what DD was trying to accomplish

Huh. And here I was thinking he couldn't possibly make himself look worse.
Honest question. What would he have to do to right the ship? Like, maybe he should fund the 'Gold Seat' and its value each season for the next 29 years. Or he should set up a free season football ticket for disabled people. Or ??? Your suggestions, but please try to avoid the obvious suggestions as we've read them already. There's a price (both monetary and decency) for most every wrong. I'm just curious what our fan base thinks.
He could start by actually apologizing instead of sidestepping it and acting like it's the fault of the people calling him out for feeling how they do.
If Nick's parents are hurt by it a direct phone call would be appropriate.
