Ole Miss booster used fake female Twitter account to recruit

Submitted by Leaders And Best on

Some Ole Miss booster used fake female Twitter account to recruit. There are some rumors from Mississippi State message boards that the Ole Miss football department knew about it, but no concrete evidence linking them to the account. ESS-EEE-SEE.

Sorry to hijack this thread. But I was reading 11W and this hilarious comment was in the comments on a "OMG Harbaugh" thread. Thought some would need a laugh. 

"David Shaw is a far better coach than Jim Harbaugh could even dream of becoming. Harbaugh with Luck equated to one really good year, and while Stanford hasn't reached anything significant since Jimmy left, that was also around the time Andrew Luck left for the NFL."

Harbaugh was a horrible player and is a horrible coach who never won anything.  No one likes him or gets along with him.  He'll be a bust at Michigan.  None of that matters anyway because he's going to leave Michigan in 3 years to go back to the NFL to win a Superbowl and Urban Meyer will stay at OSU forever since he couldn't coach in the NFL.  Oh, and some day Urban Meyer will send an OSU QB to the NFL.

Sounds like a pretty typical comment over there.  I tried reading them a lot back when Harbaugh was first hired because I wanted to see them melt down, but it ended up being pretty much the opposite.  And I'm not talking from one or two fans.  It is hard to find a single commenter on that site who acknowledges that Jim Harbaugh might actually be a good coach.  Most of them comfort themselves by saying things like "he's never won a championship" etc.  The best comment I ever read though was after Jameis Winston had visited with Harbaugh in Ann Arbor and someone said something to the effect of "Harbaugh is not a QB guru, he just always has a great run game so the QB's job is always very easy."  

The best part is, I distinctly remember a thread around Christmas time that was flooded with comments like "he'll never go to Michigan they have sucked for 7 years lol" they are pretty much just constantly in the rationalizing phase.  I can't wait to see how they rationalize it if we win this year.

That may be and I have personally known some OSU fans who were pretty decent people, but when you get them in groups they are savages.

Here is the comment I was talking about, by one of their most popular commenters (it was heavily upvoted too):

Harbaugh is not a QB guru. I would even argue he's an anti-QB coach as he favors a more run-heavy, conservative game plan than he does a QB-focused offense. Yeah, he coached Andrew Luck, but Andrew Luck would make that video coordinator Tressel hired look like a good coach.

The official explanation for why she had to keep changing her Twitter handle was harassment; the more likely truth is that it was simply an excuse to wipe out any proof Presley did not exist and start over from scratch.

The dedication that it would take to keep at this helps to affirm my belief that the South is generally a very strange place culturally when it comes to college football.

You could stop at "a strange place culturally." We were in Charleston SC for vaca last year. They still cant get over the Civil War -- er, as they call it, the War of Yankee Aggression. Talk to any local and the war will get mentioned within 5 minutes -- that, or how the south is a better place to live. The civil war is infused in the culture and history. I mean, I am from Chicago originally, and how often would you hear about the civil war there? Like: Never. Seriously, the South is still culturally messed up. I think the "passion" a small portion of SEC football fans have for their game is rooted in this general inferiority complex the South has. If they are good at something, they trip on it like acid. By contrast, a down on its luck northern city that gets good at something will embrace it but wont go overboard -- eg Pittsburg and the Steelers.
