Unverified Voracity Plans A Disaster

Ha! Good luck with blogging at Bucknuts.

Kevin Newsome hit 3 of 15 passes in a pro style offense because he is well on his way to becoming a pro QB because spread QB's never go pro. Duh!

Manny could enter his name and then withdraw as well. It has nothing to do with age and everything to do with hiring an agent. Still, there's nothing to worry about here.

In case you found it difficult to wade through the comments over at Bucknuts, let me paraphrase: DURRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Brian, I hope you read some of the comments after your post on Bucknuts. They are GOLD.

One guy insults your intelligence but doesn't bother to spell check or punctuate. Interesting move.

all this guy needs now is a helmet and a drool cup... applaud the effort of bucknuts to deliver everything their readers want but I would go to say that most of ur readers probly don't wanna read this garbage... I was expecting some kind of intelligent blog that I could respectably argue against but this was nothing but trash I won't be fooled into reading again

It's pure gold. The post is hilarious and the comments are just as good. Their inability to understand sarcasm, paired with sub-par literacy should produce some very amusing results. That, and the rabid hate.

"pee and blew"

Oh man, they got you good! If someone said that to me, I'd immediately stop being a Michigan fan, of course, out of sheer embarrassment!

c

but does he have a cool car on his website? i think not... point to gsimm

.... going 30,000 miles over the head of Ohio State fans? I'm shocked. Shocked. (Sigh).

It was really interesting to read the responses on their site to Brian's post. While there were a token number of grown-ups, most of the responses fit quite nicely into the know nothing, jealous, kind of stupid stereotype of their fans.

I thought your Bucknuts post was hilarious. After reading the comments, I think that no matter what you did they wouldn't even respect it (it's fine to hate each other, but both sides should at least respect one another). If you told them how Michigan is actually doing then even the most pessimistic post would seem like "Michigan arrogance". And obviously the vast majority of them are determined not to laugh at anything that you put up.

Is the creator of Bucknuts also going to be doing anything like this in the future on MGoBlog or not?

Reading their repsonses to your Bucknuts entry made me feel wierd, like I was as juvenile as them with their comments about your very regular sarcasm that they didn't understand. I can't put into words what I was thinking while reading their distaste for your article. I guess that sums things up, nothing needs to be said.

I assume Bucknuts is the premier site for OSU, right? Or you would not be wasting your time with it??? If those followers are the best they got, wow. I guess I have a bad case of Michigan Arrogance then.

Though there are very few Ohio State graduates in New York City (an OSU grad in the city told me so, since the paper their degree is printed on is worth more than the degree itself. He had to go to grad school...) I managed to find one in a bar after they got blown out by USC. I asked him if he was getting used to being blown out in out of conference games. He responded by calling me a fag three times then threatening to fight me.

The large majority of disparaging comments on BuckNuts seem to offer a clever take on a name (MGoBlow, Dick Rod, scUM, etc...); a tactic popularized by... third graders.

While I applaud the heavy, heavy snarkyness of the inaugural blog post (hilarious), I hope that Brian's posts on Bucknuts in the future might be more informative to them and less snarky. I would very much welcome a similar feature on MgoBlog from a literate (edit: ha!) Buckeye blogger.

Btw: lol Shiny things.

MGOBLOW!!!! ROFL!

I laughed harder at that Bucknuts post than I have at anything on the internet in a while. The comments were also good for some not purposefully humorous laughs.

Denard Robinson is not approaching the speed of light. Light is like really really fast. There's probably only a couple people that fast in the world.

Like I said in the related diary, I had a class with Ms. Macadangdang about a year before I graduated. Kinda weirded me out to see that name pop out out of nowhere. Anyway, she's pretty nice.

I have some experience with threat to "beat up" is a very common reaction to losing for OSU fans based upon my anecdotal experiences.

before we moved to the suburbs of chicago, I lived in a townhouse complex in the city with a courtyard. I flew a M flag. My neighbor's boyfriend (very muscled up early 40's guy) said during M/OSU weekend that if he came home drunk and my flag was up and OSU had lost, i should expect that the flag would be destroyed. The girlfriend - a kind of MILFY late 30's early 40's aerobics type told me that I better listen to him because she has seen him get into fights when OSU loses. That was Hart's freshman year - we never won while I lived there so I guess that
s why I was safe.

A friend of mine who is an lady M grad married an OSU grad. The OSU grad was telling me that when he went to the OSU/NW in 2004 where NW won, he threatened to beat up a pre-teen because he was -- gasp -- cheering for NW in the row in front of him -- at NW stadium -- a pre-teen, not even taunting the buckeye, but just cheering in front of him. He was not ashamed of this, but proud.

WHile not all bucknut fans are like that, there are enough of them around to spoil the bunch. I would rather be called "arrogant" than be associated with a fandom of soccer hooligans.

I would very much welcome a similar feature on MgoBlog from a literate (edit: ha!) Buckeye blogger.

I like the Michigan Mondays posts on Ozone.

Isn't it telling that there is so much hate from Buckeye fans even during a half-decade of uninterrupted dominance over Michigan? Hate like that can only be fueled from intractable insecurity. Could it be that, even when we're losing on the field, we're still winning?
