    HHC Chat w/ Tunnel Walk of Shame

      BjDVyejCIAAIAKZ.jpg

    For those of you who are not familiar, there is this blog/tumblr by the name of the Tunnel Walk of Shame (TWOS) that for the last couple of years has been lampooning the Husker football team. You can see his work here

    On February 19, 2014 he made the following tweet (three days after we beat Michigan St on the road)

    https://twitter.com/TunnelWalkShame/status/436353317354999808

    As a man of his word, he's followed through and I'm sure we'll see the comic appear at 8 am. We'll have to find out if he thought at the time he would spend his free time searching for Mike Peltz on the internet for hours.

    The semi-mysterious TWOS will be stopping by at some point Wednesday morning/afternoon to answer/mock/ignore all your questions so fire away.

    Fantastic work. How long does it take you to write each comic? Also to expound on my last question, did you ever think the University and their social media team would ever embrace you like they have with you and Faux Pelini?

     

    Some comics take as little as an hour or two to actually write. I write them in chunks though. Usually I think of jokes or concepts or situations throughout the week, and jot them down. Then I work on stringing it together into as much of a cohesive one-sitting story as possible, which takes a bit of time. The night before posting, I open up Photoshop and do all the placement. That's just busy-work, usually done while watching Archer and drinking beer. Sometimes when I'm putting stuff together I think of something new and slide a joke or two in. But mostly I write it in chunks throughout the week.

     

    Regarding your second question, I'm really glad the university engages with it. Not just for my own selfish reasons either. It's good for them to not pretend like stuff like TWOS, Faux Pelini and the like don't exist. They do exist, and people seem to like them. As a brand, the Huskers can make great strides by bringing us jackasses into the fold and making it all one big happy family. I'm glad they have, and it seems like there are some good folks running things there.

    It's safe to say that while you're a fan of all Husker sports, but it's Nebraska football first and you probably casually follow the other sports like basketball, volleyball, baseball, etc.

     

    We're you watching basketball games all year or at what point did you start?

    I apologize for totally fat fingering that down vote. Fuck you phone.

    Someone on reddit referred to you as Nebraska's LSUFreak. Have any social media based characters from other schools contacted you?

    I have been going to Nebrasketball games my whole life. Not every game, I won't pretend to be a total Devaney Die-hard, but I've kept up with the team very regularly, always know what's going on with them. This year, like everyone, the passion has just kind of intensified. If you were a casual fan, you're into it now. If you were into it, you're over the top. I'm probably somewhere between those two categories. But overall, I'll cheer for anything Huskers. Love going to baseball games, too.

    Ha! That's a nice compliment. I haven't heard from any of those types of people, though I've talked to Kegs 'N Eggs on Twitter, and I like him a lot. He's hysterical.

    Good thing Bo picked college football--way too much hair on his legs to make it in basketball...
