OT: "Clowney Facts" Twitter Account
I was wandering aimlessly through the Twitterverse, when I stumbled on @ClowneyFacts, a well-done parody account dedicated to Jadeveon Clowney.
I figured i'd post this here because we take on his Gamecocks New Year's day, and it'd be fun admiring all of his marvelous "feats." He even has Chuck Norris shaking in his boots.

There aren't any good linemen in the SEC.
Hell, keeping Jones away from Clowney was probably the only reason Saban moved Jones to center.

@ Lewan Facts When Alexander Bell invented the telephone, he had three missed calls from Taylor Lewan.

"Lewan Facts"...someone in the mgobraintrust should make this happen.
December 22nd, 2012 at 6:20 PM ^
If we've ever had a player worthy of having "facts" written about them, it would've been Zoltan. Lewan, not so much.

After reading Jadeveon Clowney's own Twitter account:
@ClowneyFacts Jadeveon Clowney is functionally illiterate.

over-enamored with Clowney SCar Fans? Get over yourselves, don't get too cocky.

Cocky is just a pause on the path to full Gamecockery.

This is the definition of, "I'm 14 and this is funny."

Wow, surprised by all the hate, I must be 14, because this is kind of funny to me...The best UM candidate to pull off something like this has to be Jake Ryan, or maybe a Stauskas shooter meme "The mounties made Nik Stauskas leave Canada because his hot streak was melting The Rockies"

Nope. Whenever mediocre humor is lauded as hilarious I have to step in and say otherwise - for the good of the country.

BiSB gave up being a mod because he didn't have time for it any more. The walls of negativity spurned on by the OSU loss only expedited his resignation. While I can't speak for him, I would imagine having to constantly purge threads like this was probably one of his least favortie pastimes as moderator.

The "morality" of the board has been slipping?
December 23rd, 2012 at 7:33 AM ^
Not only has a good portion of this blog's content been devoted precisely to pissing and moaning since Brian started it (much of it by Brian himself), pissing and moaning is about 90% of the internet that isn't porn or cat photos.
December 23rd, 2012 at 9:34 AM ^
The point of this blog is to discuss Michigan related sports, not horrible Twitter parody accounts that amount to the lowest form of humor imaginable.
December 23rd, 2012 at 9:20 AM ^
Because if we don't piss and moan every time something stupid and worthless like this gets posted, it's taken as a tacit endorsement by a lot of blog memebers. Then we get more stupid and worthless shit being posted on the board, and before you know it, BOOM, MGoBlog is MLive. Maybe you want that, but Brian certainly doesn't want that, and most of the the members of the board don't want that either.
Self policing has always been an important mechanism in keeping the wolves somewhat at bay. It doesn't always work, hell if you're anywhere near the board after a loss you can see firsthand how futile it is a lot of the time, but we can at the very least keep shit like this to a minimum via our bitching.

Clowney is the best player in the country...by far. I watch a lot of college football like many of you. Rarely do you see an athlete so superior to those lining up on the other side of the ball, especially when in a legit conference. I remember him in the Florida game where SC got destroyed...but he was absolutely unblockable. Looked like a grown man playing kids.
Every once in a while those really special guys come along where you know you are watching something amazing with how they dominate at a certain level. Will it translate to the next level? Of course not, but he should still be a good pro. But at the college level he is just unblockable. They will need to double team him...Lewan can't block this guy one on one.
December 23rd, 2012 at 5:29 AM ^
I don't mean this in a manner to say you're wrong, because I do think JaDaveon is a good football player, but from watching the LSU/South Carolina game film I found only a few plays where he was relevant. Granted, an offense can "go away from" a player and limit his role in affecting plays but again, there was little -from what I saw, and I don't think he was double teamed all that much- that showed him to be completely dominant. I have seen plenty SEC games where he played and he makes great plays; again, a pretty damn good footbal player.

"They will need to double team him...Lewan can't block this guy one on one."
The Clowney / Lewan matchup is going to be interesting to watch. Let's hope the camera work allows some nice isolation sequences on those two. The film of that matchup might prove to be a nice clinic on both DE and LT play.

Didnt go to the account, but the tweest the OP listed remind me a lot of the analogy quips made about Denard on this site over the last few years. And many, many of those Denard quips were not as funny as those the OP listed (not that they are extremely funny either). The hypocracy here is so extreme as to be embarrassing as a UM fan.
