umbig11 passed along info that Speight was going to start at QB.
Mr. Yost called bs and Would. Not. Let. It. Go.

This isn't true. I didn't doubt the legitimacy of the news.
You did all of that research in your OP, good stuff, BTW...don't make stuff up, I never called b/s on Speight being named the starter. I called b/s on how it was presented "congrats you've been given the keys to the car" rather than something that felt more "official" for lack of a better word.

Brian said at 10:59 that he was credible.
At 11:06 umbig11 said he would send Brian a note.
At 11:07 Brian said thanks.
Brian posted nothing saying he was full of shit.
umbig11 obviously didn't feel he could divulge his source any more than Brian, Ace, Tremendous or a number of other sources can at times. You have to take it at face value based on the credibility of the source. Brian validated that source.
The rest of it was really just you being a pompous ass.

I thought the Speight news (which was not doubted) should've been presented in a different manner. Didn't like how something so breaking wasn't presenting in more of a "data giving" manner versus something that could be misconstrued as opinion or a troll post (which we see here far too often).
Could've handled it better, but at the same time...was going to respond to every comment like I always do. Then a Friday night so I'm sure there were a few folks that made it a drinking thread as well.
It was all in good fun, no one got hurt. Actually it was probably one of the most civil negbangs of all time. I had at least 4 normal conversations in the midst of it all.
I'm not good at even a classic board meltdown /sadface

I thought it was hilarious and wanted to immortalize you.
August 27th, 2016 at 12:47 PM ^
Did you do that research? That's good stuff...
I wasn't expecting that when I clicked on the thread. It was funny by the end, I think because people thought I was mad...but I was laughing and just trying to get back to every comment. Finally folks stopped commenting so I did the same. Updated my depth chart with the big news and watched the rest of that Hawaii/Cal game.

Yea, I actually counted them. it's the honest to goodness truth.
August 27th, 2016 at 12:58 PM ^
That's awesome.
If a mod sees this and/or has the power to do it...I would like to donate 827 points to The Fugitive to match the 827 negs, lol.
If not...I'll just upvote all of your posts for awhile. Good stuff.
August 27th, 2016 at 1:35 PM ^
How many upvotes did he get?
August 27th, 2016 at 6:36 PM ^
Brilliant effort to get Yost to continue the same argument in a new thread. May his distaste for casually presented information reign forever!
This neverending and largely reasonable discussion is perfectly MGoBlog

But kudos for standing in the line of fire. I respect that.

I agree. I respect the stubbornness and fact that he took the heat for what he said.

What lady are we referring to here? Help me out. I'm new to MGoBlog, the internet, and even (see username) the world.

of the comments of his that i saw, he defined the word 'persistent' but he was not snotty/snarky.
August 27th, 2016 at 12:55 PM ^
he did make a "joke" about umbig11's mum that didn't play to well.
August 27th, 2016 at 12:59 PM ^
In fairness it was a snark for snark comment...and the joke about Nick Cannon's "mum" jokes was even worse.

He was also the biggest RR apologist on the board and was sent to Bolivia multiple times over his RR meltdowns. It was pretty good entertainment.

Accurate statement is accurate.

I got really tired of his attitude so I started paying close attention to his comments. One night when I am pretty sure he had too much to drink he got really nasty attacking another user. I think he told them to F off among other things. I reported him to the mods using the MGoSticky and they took care of the rest. It's the one time in six years here that I've tattletaled, but in my defense, there is only so much Title IX related commentary I can take.
EDIT: see comments #800 and #801 here:

Let history show that LSAClassOf2000 did the banhammering. Truly, a feather in his cap.

I have a feeling (time and day of week) that alcohol was involved - Friday Night Drinking thread on overdrive
