Rebel Responses to the Catfish Article ITT..

[57stratdawg]

Every fan base tweets at recruits!

It was probably a MSU fan.

Steve Robertson is a bigger loser for taking the time to write the article!

I never noticed the account, because I only read the unbiased reporting of Yancy Porter.

Hugh Freeze doesn't need any help from Twitter to recruit!

It obviously didn't help enough to overcome the $80,000 you guys gave to Leo Lewis!

I still haven't figured out why an Auburn fan is involved in this..

Couldn't have been a MSU fan, that would mean they can afford the internet lolololol...hahah...

I wonder if we could prove Andy Kennedy's cab driver wasn't a real person, what was his name? Ben Laden, I think?

I really don't get the complete denial of why they should be embarrassed. Hell, this is embarrassing to me just as a piece of evidence into how 17'd up this world is becoming. I am as big of a CFB/MSU fan as there is and this is beyond comprehension. I still cannot believe that they won't just say 'I am mortified that this was one of my cohorts'.

And no, that statement doesn't have to be qualified with an indictment of Rosebowl. That could have waited until next week. The fact that they were spewing that before dusk on day one was just too much on their part.

There's a clear progression in place:

Step 1: Ole Miss people start doing something shady.
Step 2: MSU people notice, go "Hey, that's kinda shady, isn't it?"
Step 3: Ole Miss people violently retort in defense of the squeaky-clean shadiness.
Step 4: MSU people prove that the seemingly shady thing is, in all actuality, very very shady.
Step 5: Ole Miss people go "This is stupid, why do you even care?"

It's because they aren't mortified that one of their own did this. To them, a middle age man imitating a college age girl and tweeting at recruits is normal behavior. That's how serious recruiting is to them. To the average rebel, if you don't understand this man masquerading as a girl to get tweet recruits and his motivations, you're the weird one.

Great synopsis. Well done sir.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Time after time.

Am I missing something? Did Steve mention that this was a middle aged man or are we assuming that? Could it possibly be a fugly *** girl that used a hot girls pics? If I understand correctly there was a female that supposedly called in to podcasts. Are we just assuming because it's TSUN that this is one big conspiracy, because my rational mind thinks that is a stretch. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad this is picking up traction, because this has got to be embarrassing. But I'm still disappointed that a troll on the internet is the big IT.

Yeah, that's pretty much how it goes.

If you are expecting much out of Coach34's big "It" announcements after all these years, then that's a you problem. The fact that it was anything at all is a bonus.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Hmmm

That's basically what he said on his own board.

 

[drt7891]

It's funny because he bitches about 6pack only being interested in "the clicks..." But that's exactly what his big "IT" announcements do. It's all about hits. And that's why half the times he posts anything, he says "click an ad while you are here."

Not that anyone is remotely surprised.

He makes fun of SPS when he damn near copied everything to build his website, including IT. What a dubmass.

[AFDawg]

A paraphrase of a Facebook conversation today

Me: This OM catfish story is hilarious.
OM fan friend: I followed her. She didn't tweet at recruits.
Me: Here's a screenshot of her tweeting a recruit.
OM fan: Well, it's not a big deal.

Foxnews

Any chance Chris Wallace mentions this to Shepard Smith on air?

 

[57stratdawg]

Followed him*

Hmmm

Which is why I am a proud donator to the SPS site so that I have a C34 free site to read. May have some RebBear ******** from time to time but I can deal with that much easier.

Steve thinks it's a girl.

I think it's a girl + MIRS. Both first appeared on twitter around the same time. Both got shut down the same day.

MIRS was Fin's ferocious defender. Any time somebody questioned Fin's legitimacy, it's like the bat signal went off and MIRS folks and 1 or 2 others immediately piled on. Their MO was then to identify the questioner, circulate personal info, and go after the employer. They did that to multiple people.

Like most twitter smack talkers, the MIRS guys were into smack. But say something about Fin, by God, and it was no holds barred. Way, way above and beyond anything that ought to happen via twitter.

@aemilner (Adam Milner), @carbophat (Matthew Faulkner), and FinsUpAP all disappeared this week. Coincidence? No.

@aceyrob (Acey Roberts) has the phone number used by a person who called his show claiming to be FinsUpAP. He won't release it. Says he's looking for the perp, but won't accept any help with that phone number. That's like seeing a crime and refusing to describe the suspect. Makes no sense unless he's got something to hide. If a catfish destroyed my side business, I'd take all the help I could find to nail the perp. Ole Acey's gonna keep that bullet in his pocket? ********. He's hiding something.

I also think Hugh Freeze has some questions to answer. He was following less than 160 people. So Freeze was very selective in who he followed. FinsUpAP was one of them.

There were only 2 fans in his follow list. The rest are recruits, celebrities, and reporters. And Yancey. But just 2 fans.

One fan is Brandi Ratliff. She's real. But why is he following her?

And why was Hugh following FinsUpAP? He very selectively chooses his followers and accidentally lands on a catfish? I'm not buying that.

 

[Fins Down]

I think this saga should be set to music....

(What previously existed in this post was a stupid song that called Steve a pedophile, a dumbass, depressive, and other personal comments.)

FD - the fact that you worked this hard on something this stupid is a thousand times sadder than Steve doing some actual investigative reporting, even if the topic of that reporting is relatively unimportant. It was still a job well done from him and obviously has a lot of your kind in deflecting mode. Knowing that, it gives me even greater pleasure in deleting it. The only reason I am not banning you is so you can see that it got deleted. I put the over/under on your life on this board at 1.5 posts.

Hey Flab I have heard the comment "what they did to Flabloser went a bit too far." I wasn't following at the time and don't know what that means exactly. I'm likely not alone. So, what is it they did when you questioned authenticity? How much personal info did they circulate?

the stupid song was quoted here, but no more

That's 17'n funny for the morning shift. Well done sir......or is it ma'am. Cue mystery music.

Not an actual booster! (c'mon, man)
