[some idiot who just got banned]
[Ed: this is not true. this poster is banned. leaving it up so people can see the refudiation. also here's his directory entry {Ed Ed: uh... this didn't work last time... we'll try not to exploit the fact MGo requires an email address to register… PaulVB]
I have heard from a few confirmed sources that Brian Cook will be leaving mgoblog after the season this year for bigger and better things. Has anyone else heard this because I am starting to doubt my own sources. Do you guys think the site will be able to live on if this news is true?
Sorry to drop a bombshell on everyone like this, but at least this disappointing news is coming in the bye week.
[MOD EDIT] : I am sorry to confirm that this is indeed true. More to come in following weeks.for those of you who don't realize this, posters can add these [MOD EDIT]s themselves… this wasn't any of the mods and certainly not Brian - PaulVB

That means no edit!
Setting fire to house now.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:30 PM ^
What am I going to do with all the time I spend on here? I might actually have to study and go to classes... haha, just kiding, I still won't do that.
Sidenote: Shit that means we're left with Bleacher Report and ESPN... Time to panic like a DB's transferring!
October 19th, 2010 at 8:31 PM ^
As sad as this sounds, this might be good news. This is like a cigarette smoker who just found out cigarettes would no longer be made.
Sure, it will suck for a while, but eventually life will go back to the way it was before you got hooked on cigs, and in the end you'll be better for it.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:31 PM ^
So Brian is not leaving, but he is leaving, but then we will know more in the future about Brian not leaving once he explains why he is leaving? I'm so confused. My brain feels like this:
October 19th, 2010 at 8:35 PM ^
Brian's pulling a Favre on us.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:38 PM ^
I will DEFINITELY not open any text messages from him if that is true.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:40 PM ^
This is one of the funniest posts I've read in awhile. I can't stop laughing.
October 20th, 2010 at 1:19 AM ^
post of the freakin' year, right here.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:35 PM ^
it is with a heavy heart i accept my new charge as proprietor of mgoblog
first order of business: the site will now be known as mgofarts. adjust your rss feeds accordingly
October 19th, 2010 at 8:35 PM ^
Somebody should remove the fake mod edit, so the real mod edit looks more official... or at least make it clear that the fake mod edit came before the real mod edit.
October 19th, 2010 at 10:19 PM ^
I AM so confused. Is the truth out there?
October 19th, 2010 at 8:35 PM ^
Can someone tell me what is true and what is bullshit?
October 19th, 2010 at 8:36 PM ^
It's not true. The confirming mod edit is fake, which is why he was banned.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:38 PM ^
If that's the case, why can't the mods remove that portion of his post. It's kind of a poor job moderating to leave conflicting [mod ed]'s in the post. Please moderate, moderators.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:41 PM ^
The thread title "[some idiot who just got banned]" isn't enough to clue you in?
October 19th, 2010 at 8:41 PM ^
Thanks for the clarification. +1
October 19th, 2010 at 8:36 PM ^
the M coaching staff to teach the football players how to--HOLD ONTO THE DAMN BALL!
October 19th, 2010 at 8:37 PM ^
I refuse to read anything that has been written above. I demand having it in movie form damnit!
October 19th, 2010 at 8:37 PM ^
I don't believe it...
October 19th, 2010 at 8:37 PM ^
I just went out to dinner and got back and was like what the f*&k just happened.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:38 PM ^
I am struggling to understand why this guy was banned, it was obviously a joke
October 19th, 2010 at 8:40 PM ^
probably because he pretended to be a moderator and posted something that would cause a blog riot.
October 20th, 2010 at 12:50 AM ^
I'm still loving the fact that he went to a -4,800,000. Never seen that many on anyone. Glad the Mod's threw me a rope, i was about to let go and fall to the bottom of the cliff.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:42 PM ^
Coming from the guy who wants to know how long it is until we get bent over the table again by OSU. I am not surprised.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:40 PM ^
1). Fox Sports buys YardBarker, stories about "is this the end of indie sports blogging" begin to crop up.
2). Bleacher Report and the Washington Post annouce a content partnership, which, until I actually saw the press release, I thought was one of the funniest Twitter pranks ever.
3). Someone "announces" that Brian is leaving MGoBlog at the end of this year.
So we will go back to waiting for the third shoe to drop. Maybe it's Conrad Bain?
October 19th, 2010 at 8:42 PM ^
Godspeed little doodle. Oh wait, this is a hoax? Not cool, not cool at all.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:43 PM ^
If no mod has actually edited this post yet. And the OP was using is all as a guise to prank one of his friends (the person whos directory entry is posted). That would be a good one.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:45 PM ^

my soul-dong hurts....
October 19th, 2010 at 8:49 PM ^
[MOD EDIT] : Word to the wise... don't include something like this in your post in an attempt to sound official.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:51 PM ^
that if a person was banned that all their comments were removed as well. This poster is all over the last few threads tonight.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:52 PM ^
Most likely headed to Colorado
October 19th, 2010 at 9:03 PM ^
to South Bend.
October 20th, 2010 at 7:23 AM ^
just could never hold up through that brutal Big 10 season

.....and now back to our regularly scheduled board melt-down.
October 19th, 2010 at 9:00 PM ^
Just gas the damn thread.
October 19th, 2010 at 9:01 PM ^
Don't know what to believe...
October 19th, 2010 at 9:11 PM ^
October 19th, 2010 at 9:22 PM ^
Like This???
October 19th, 2010 at 9:13 PM ^
i dont know whats going on here. i wish someone would clarify for me
October 19th, 2010 at 9:18 PM ^
....if the blog end then maybe I can get on with things like getting a...
girlfriend
job
car
friends
apartment
social life
sigh.....
October 19th, 2010 at 9:28 PM ^
Why must you make me sad??
October 19th, 2010 at 9:20 PM ^
Not sure if this issue will come up again, but this was a really awkward attempt by to mods to clarify the issue. Maybe make the thread title more direct, like "Brian Not Leaving; Idiot OP Banned."
In short, MOAR INFORMATIVE TITLES PLEASE. Just kidding, I hate that shit. But this was fucking confusing.
October 19th, 2010 at 9:35 PM ^
this makes it sounds like there's a standard operating procedure or something. I tried to clarify and remove possible privacy violations without stepping on any other mod's toes, but we run a pretty ad hoc, fly by the seat of our pants moderation outfit
October 19th, 2010 at 10:48 PM ^
Shitty situation; we'll live
October 19th, 2010 at 9:21 PM ^
I'm so confused.
October 19th, 2010 at 9:36 PM ^

October 19th, 2010 at 9:42 PM ^
QUIT PLAYING GAMES WITH MY HEART!!!!!
