Why does a Michigan fan give a shit about Barstool?

We have MGoBlog. We are much better than that.

Once I got past the bad writing though, the prank was worth a chuckle.

....are COMPLETE F-ING DOUCHEBAGS by definition. I would respect an actual Buckeye more than any douche canoe who does this. If you think this is inspirational hilarity, you're not Michigan material... you're a douche...and today was life's wake-up....

Apparently he’s getting an actual interview with Barstool now,so it’s really turned into a “who’s laughing now” kind of situation.

My wife watches that Catfish show on MTV once or twice a week, and I just tune it out when she does. It’s garbage TV, right on par with The Bachelor.

Was hired by a company within the last year, its in growth mode so they hired a good amount of experienced people.....and when all of us got there the group included a few higher up powerful women. We all walk in and see two huge barstool flags hanging from the walls by the sales guys....that shit came down real quick. Trash site

dont know much about barstool, but I hear thier shows on the radio in the car sometimes and I think they are pretty good. Funny how pretty much everyone here hates them, but I don't think I have much in common with most here except my love for Michigan anyway.

It's not funny.  It's mean.

OSU sux and all, but I draw the line at fucking with another man's job.

When did it become cool to have not even a little shred of decency?

If you like barstool If you enjoy Will Farrell (post Anchor Man) If you like Adam Sandler. I assume your IQ is lower than mine, your humor is slapstick, and your job is shit. I have issues. But I am a Michigan Man. (Seriously tho, that shit is fucked.)

I like the little rule you applied to Will Ferrell. It tells me you, at one time or another, found Will Ferrell to be funny. Because it was before one movie it's ok, but anything after that is not ok. Anything after that means you have a lower IQ. Holy hypocrite Batman. Maybe if your IQ was a bit higher you would have realized the flaw in your logic before hitting POST.

I understand you can't literally see me sitting in front of my phone typing this, so you'll just have to trust me that I'm not upset. I can quite easily and calmly think that people who get their laughs from hurting people are assholes.

Not worth your time. Some people just don’t understand barstool and the humor. I have tried to talk to people on here before about barstool. It is a waste of time lol

I hate a Buckeye as much as the next guy but making someone spend their hard earn money for a joke isn't cool. The guy seems like a douche but this was a bit much.

1. This guy works part time for Barstool. He creates content for the OSU barstool twitter account, so he clearly loves the company. 

2. He is originally from NY, about an hour out, going to OSU in Columbus. I'm assuming his family is doing all right. 

3. He now has gotten real job offer from Barstool HQ, he's all right. Relax.

He himself thought the prank was phenomenal, and tipped his cap. 

Not saying what the prankster did was ok, but I would say it's nothing for people on this board to be up in arms with.

There is some good and some bad and a lot of stuff that missed the mark. I don't think Michigan should distance itself from David Portnoy. He built a company using his brain. My bet is that anyone who opening hates barstool is probably dealing with some personal bitterness or jealous.

Disliking another fanbase is one thing...duping a person out of their money and time is another.  Can only hope the guy who did this will get a taste of his own medicine someday.
