Khalid Hill vs Dave Portnoy (Barstool) on Twitter
Tonight there was some back and forth between Khalid Hill and Dave Portnoy (Barstool president) on Twitter. Portnoy said on a podcast that Michigan players should apologize to him for their poor showing again OSU. Khalid took exception to that. Now on one hand this is just some petty twitter beef but what I find interesting is that Dave Portnoy is a Michigan grad. I never hear about this guy around these parts, probably because the overlap between Barstool and Mgoblog is slim to none. I assume everyone would have the Hammering Panda's back in this argument, but does Dave Portnoy have any rep among Michigan fans?

I think Harbaugh should apologize for that shit show
November 29th, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
You should apologize for your waistline.

Fat shaming is up there with sexism. There are plenty of things to mock Marcus Ray for that have nothing to do with his size.
He’s dishonest, narcissistic, and a jackass. And that’s just a good start.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:56 PM ^
Yeah, and fat too!
November 29th, 2018 at 10:18 PM ^
Stop. I know we are in a PC world, but who would be offended by calling a bloated asshole fat? He is fat.
November 30th, 2018 at 7:06 AM ^
I always thought he just wore really small sweaters and to go with a size medium members only jacket.
November 30th, 2018 at 12:14 AM ^
Oh please, he’s fat we don’t need to pretend like being fat is a good thing do we?
November 30th, 2018 at 1:28 AM ^
He’s just big boned okay ? It’s 2018 and he can finally feel comfortable in his own skin with out the pressure to look like those models on the cover of Victoria secret magazines.
November 30th, 2018 at 12:41 AM ^
If he was born overweight sure but he was clearly not a fat slob in college. He let himself get that way. I’m not gonna have sympathy for someone who free willingly let’s themselves be unhealthy. Should I have sympathy for someone who becomes addicted to tobacco ? Or drugs ? It’s sad yes but to call them fat is stating the obvious if you don't like it do something about it.
November 30th, 2018 at 6:55 AM ^
"I'm an asshole and it's his fault" is all I read there.
November 30th, 2018 at 12:00 AM ^
look .... i think Marcus ray or whoever this is spews bullshit just to stir the pot and get clicks or whatever. But enough with the fat shaming shit. It’s fuckin amateur bullshit and not appropriate. Like the man said below it’s on the level of racism and sexism so stfu.
It took me a while to sprout up/stretch out to become slimmer but i heard it all in jr high and i will always defend anyone who is coming up against that. So do yourself a favor and look your self in the mirror and really think about what you are saying. And if you think it’s fine your are no better than racists and sexists.
Downvote me if you want. Don’t care
November 30th, 2018 at 12:30 AM ^
It's not at all on the same level as racism. That's ridiculous.
November 30th, 2018 at 9:49 AM ^
Buddy....Marcus isn't sitting in the corner of the junior high dance twiddling his thumbs and waiting for his growth spurt - he's a grown man and he's fat
The vast majority of fully grown adults are 100% capable of controlling their weight, they either choose not to or are too lazy to care.
November 29th, 2018 at 8:29 PM ^
User name checks out!
November 29th, 2018 at 8:38 PM ^
You should thank Woodson that anyone knows your name.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:09 PM ^
Upvoted you because I laughed.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:36 PM ^
Mark you should apologize to the alumni you unfortunately represent by association, the football program that can't scrub your name from existence, the workers making minimum wage at endless buffet lines that cringe when you walk through the door, and to Charles Woodson who you embarass for bringing his name up everytime you mutter about the glory days while you rock back in forth in a dark corner somewhere in NE ohio.
November 29th, 2018 at 11:06 PM ^
People don't actually think this is Marcus Ray, do they? He's an obvious troll who joined just a couple days ago. Just downvote and move on.
November 30th, 2018 at 8:52 AM ^
I don't think it's actually him....but just in case...my petty self can't resist from trolling the troll.
November 30th, 2018 at 12:00 PM ^
I’ve actually had my other MarcusRay profiles banned due to the fact that I’m not on the Harbaugh is great train ...I have a opinion many in here agree with but we can’t speak it because of fear for getting our account banned
November 30th, 2018 at 4:43 PM ^
Your other accounts were banned because you’re an idiot that makes moronic comments. That, and you’re fat.
November 29th, 2018 at 8:08 PM ^
Michigan players don’t have to apologize for shit. 2x the effort in a gameplan designed to fail would still fail
November 29th, 2018 at 8:08 PM ^
That site is toxic bro hell.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:09 PM ^
Dave Portnoy specifically is toxic "bro" hell... Although I wouldn't really call him a "bro" because he definitely doesn't even lift.
Only PFT, Big Cat, and Ria are entertaining on that site.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
Is he a “Monday is chest day” kind of bro?!
November 29th, 2018 at 10:09 PM ^
Please don't forget Hank and Bubba and all the other AWLs
November 29th, 2018 at 10:24 PM ^
Ria? Really
November 30th, 2018 at 9:50 AM ^
This one really threw me off haha
November 30th, 2018 at 11:24 AM ^
pardon my take is a great podcast but once they leave barstool will be hurting. I do like portnoy overall. He reps Uofm on a national stage. Brian has always been low key jealous of him for his fame and success.
November 30th, 2018 at 1:28 PM ^
Spot on. If anyone has not read The Daily Beast's article on Barstool I'd suggest you do:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-barstool-sports-culture-of-online-…
But this paragraph is a good summary:
Portnoy joked that a woman wearing size 6 skinny jeans “kind of deserve[s] to be raped right?”; he joked that while “we don’t condone rape,” should a woman pass out at one of their “Blackout” parties, any sexual assault is “kind of a gray area”; he referred to critics of the parties as “crazy bitches” and “ugly dykes”; Portnoy wrotea blog post snarling that he was “bringing back the word ‘c--t’”; Barstool promoted this since-deleted blog post with the headline: “Slut Reporter Drinks Cam Newton’s Jizz”;
November 29th, 2018 at 8:08 PM ^
He's right. More importantly, Michigan coaches should apologize to all of us too.
November 29th, 2018 at 8:34 PM ^
I dunno, fans that think they deserve an apology come off as entitled to me.
November 30th, 2018 at 12:09 AM ^
The coaches should apologize to the players?
November 30th, 2018 at 8:27 AM ^
The players should apologize directly to the fans one by one in a wedding type reception line at Schembechler Hall. What sacrifices have these players made, really? I’m the one who puts aside three hours every Saturday to sit on my couch and scream at a television.
November 29th, 2018 at 8:08 PM ^
That guy is trash and so is that site
November 29th, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
I went to that site once. Felt dirty afterward. Never been back.
November 29th, 2018 at 8:08 PM ^
Hopefully this doesn’t get me sent to Bolivia, but #TeamPortnoy. He’s absolutely ridiculous but entertaining. Says some crazy shit quite often.
November 29th, 2018 at 8:50 PM ^
You must be a graduate of Rome. And no, I'm not referring to the University of Rome.
November 29th, 2018 at 11:21 PM ^
:( that’s not nice
November 29th, 2018 at 10:32 PM ^
You are right.
November 30th, 2018 at 7:30 AM ^
Allow me to correct this -
Ridiculous? Yes.
Entertaining? No.
Actually, Portnoy owes the world an apology for the Barstool thing in general.
November 29th, 2018 at 8:10 PM ^
You must not follow Brian on Twitter, or haven't followed him very long. Cuz, uh, there's some beef there between Brian and that prick.
Anyway, Dave Portney being a Michigan grad/fan easily slots into the top 3 things that embarrass me most about my own Michigan degree/fandom.
November 29th, 2018 at 8:15 PM ^
I didn't know that, but I can't say I'm surprised. Portnoy and Brian seem like total opposites.
November 29th, 2018 at 10:47 PM ^
Yeah, one is pure Michi-fan and the other went to Michigan because his buddies did and jumped into the ‘fandom’. I’m sorry, but if you did not play on the team, you have zero leg to stand on claiming they (the team) “needs to apologize” gtfo.
November 29th, 2018 at 10:47 PM ^

1. The Unabomber
2. Ann Coulter
...somewhere: Dave Portnoy
November 29th, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
Unabomber a bit too high, IMO. He was just a sad, lonely man trying to be heard.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
So you're saying that people whose opinions you don't agree with should be higher on a list of university embarrassments over a guy who actually killed people and injured dozens.
November 29th, 2018 at 11:10 PM ^
Do demonic trolling succubusses qualify as people?
November 30th, 2018 at 8:36 AM ^
The plural would be succubi.
