Got the link from the EDSBS twitter.  Deadspin is putting a lot on the line with an article like this so I hope they've done their homework.   It does raise a few flags when a picture of "her" is someone else entirely.  Take it FWIW.


Thread is going back up with profit's approval after a quick discussion between us, especially with CBS Radio picking it up. There will probably be a few of the subsequent threads deleted; I'll explain each that I take down in the Moderator Action Stickey.

As a quick reminder, please keep comments to the standards we've come to expect from the MGoBoard. JGB

Edit two: I didn't take down the other threads, so the promised explanations didn't happen in the sticky. If you think a thread was taken down in error, I apologize, but it's now disappeared into the internet. From what I saw, most had served their purpose when this thread was unlocked. JGB.

If this is true, will the mainstream media out ND for the fruads they truly are? Too many times ND gets a pass.

First Rudy was off-sides then years later goes to jail.  The ND nation is stunned when they realize that they have worshipped a criminal, a felon. 

Then secondly Teo invents an internet GF so people will feel sorry for him?  Say what?  Are there no hot women in SB?  Hell I even seen some cute Nuns in my day.  WTF Teo???

All of this from a religious school which prides itself on integrity.  Then to top it off, the school releases a statement saying Teo was a "victim" of a hoax and doesnt come clean?  Now the Administration is covering for a liar, which in turn, makes them a lair.  And we get curcified because Chris announced he was going pro and then took money BEFORE he dropped his classes.  If Chris went to the Registrars Office first and then took an envelope full of cash in the hallway, there would not be a problem.

What in God's name is going on over there in SB?  If we cant trust ND to be perfect, who can we trust?  .../s

Every news organization is running with this.

What about the mod standards.  Long live North Korea.  Maybe we should just speculate the fate of Hagerup leaving to Arizona...........

I can understand frustration with our work at times, but this is subjective stuff. I can promise you every way I know how that profitgoblue acted in good faith and tried to use his best judgment for the welfare of the site and the board. We both make our mistakes, but I think comparing our actions here to North Korea is a little on the extreme end.

If you disagree with something we've done, that's completely fine with us; you can say something directly to profit or myself (politely, please) in a thread, you can call something to our/the staff's attention on the moderator action sticky, or you can email Brian (contact information at the top of the page).

idea that something is true before this place blows up. I can go to MLive and catch that if I so desire. Once we have something solid on which to base our posts, we can still invoke RR (Rudy and the Rest) to our hearts content.

Hail to the Mod Team. I also notice that they stayed right on top of this, and unlocked it when it was evident those noxious fumes were the result of a tire fire.
