Mods: Does Wolverine Devotee Live?
October 27th, 2014 at 5:23 PM ^
I see...
October 27th, 2014 at 6:14 PM ^
I see dead posters.
October 27th, 2014 at 4:59 PM ^
That was quick
October 27th, 2014 at 6:12 PM ^

Produce an email from his aunt, or it never happened.
(I stayed away from the site/board until today in a self-preservation move. Did WD have a meltdown, or is it just a matter of radio silence from him. I honestly hope he's doing OK.)
October 27th, 2014 at 6:21 PM ^
directly from Dave Brandon's account. You know that can't be faked.
October 27th, 2014 at 4:59 PM ^
I was wondering the same thing. Did he get purged or is he in self-imposed exile?
October 27th, 2014 at 4:59 PM ^
He gone... for now
October 27th, 2014 at 5:02 PM ^
By the looks of the voting details in the OP....yes.

His account hasn't been caved or blocked, nothing big has happened with his MGoPoints, and obviously he didn't change his account name.
Beyond that I can't really say what's up with an individual poster.
October 27th, 2014 at 5:03 PM ^
His account is still open, so he's still here. Lurking. Watching. Biding his time.
Soon.

MGOBlog needs a Hide option to create personalized Bolivia lists
October 27th, 2014 at 5:14 PM ^
It sort of does: If you use chrome, you can add the extension Ultra-MGoBoard (link), which allows you to highlight/block users.
However, I haven't used it in a few years, and I'm not sure it works with the current layout of mgoblog.

So I'm clearly not in tune enough with the goings-on 'round here.
What happened?
October 27th, 2014 at 5:08 PM ^
I thought I spent too much time on this site during working hours but apparently not.
October 27th, 2014 at 5:18 PM ^
It's all from the Dave Brandon unverified email incident. WD made a thread about an email DB sent to a fan—which he stated was from his aunt, or his aunts friend or something. The email went viral (it got mentioned by Olberman on ESPN) but there was never verified and the FOIA request didn't turn up anything, so it looked like it might have been faked—either by WD (despite multiple claims otherwise) or a friend/family member of WDs.
So I think WolverineDevotee is lying low for a bit until the incident blows over—not unlike WolverineInABag did after the infamous RollDamnTide discovery.
October 27th, 2014 at 5:20 PM ^
oooooooh Please elaborate on the RDT story... I don't think I was around for this
October 27th, 2014 at 5:29 PM ^
That's probably one of my all time favorite MGoBlog moments. Essentiall for a couple months beforehand, we had this poster called RollDamnTide, who was a hardcore Alabama fan who posted on our board about various topics, but generally being a pretty respectful fan from a different team. After a little while he started posting more and more about recruiting, he apparently had some connections with Alabama's donors/recruiting or something, so he was able to get information on certain recruits that weren't available to the public at the time—specifically Ty Isaac. Anyways, after a while, the whole site more or less falls in love with the dude, he gives us insider info on prospects of mutual interest and isn't an ass as many rival fans are.
Then this thread gets posted by WolverineInABag (who afterwards changed his name to MGoCooper)

holy shit that is gold.... I laughed so hard... Thanks for sharing
October 27th, 2014 at 6:04 PM ^
I believe his whole reason for being here was because of the Alabama-Michigan game.
Also, at one point WIAB interviewed RDT. It was crazy.
October 27th, 2014 at 5:19 PM ^
Wolverine Devotee posted a supposed email of Dave Brandon responding to a disgruntled fan who said that they were no longer supporting the university. Brandon basically said something like, "Don't hit the door on the way out. Michigan doesn't need fans like you... Have a good life." Anyways, the story went semi-national as Keith Olbermann reported it on his show. And a couple days ago, the FOIA request to retrieve the email was denied due to the fact that the email likely did not exist at all. This prompted MGoBlog to consequently blow up and basically crucify WD as conclusions were drawn about WD faking the email. The validity of the story is still up in the air, but since, WD has not shown his face.... er.... avatar.
October 27th, 2014 at 6:22 PM ^
There's going to be a lot of people that owe him some apologies when it comes out that the email wasn't faked.
October 27th, 2014 at 5:25 PM ^
. . . is not WD's Forté
October 27th, 2014 at 5:04 PM ^
October 27th, 2014 at 5:16 PM ^
tracking down the stake. But it's so small, he's been searching since Saturday night. No food, no sleep. Just searching....
FWIW I like him, too. He's like a Wolverine Wikipedia.
October 27th, 2014 at 5:07 PM ^
October 27th, 2014 at 5:10 PM ^
He's grounded himself, but I'm not sure the self-imposed sanctions will be enough. I foresee a serious negbanging on his next comment
October 27th, 2014 at 5:14 PM ^
I think I've seen him post once or twice in a few threads and yes, he mostly got negged
October 27th, 2014 at 5:13 PM ^
It should be I (potentially) see fake emails
October 27th, 2014 at 5:11 PM ^
October 27th, 2014 at 5:14 PM ^
October 27th, 2014 at 5:15 PM ^
He posted on Twitter that he was too embarrassed to post here anymore.
October 27th, 2014 at 5:19 PM ^
He's 19 (?), and he made a mistake. He will have lived a very good life if that's the worst thing he ever does.
October 27th, 2014 at 5:53 PM ^
this. The dude should be given a break, at least in this forum.
October 27th, 2014 at 5:40 PM ^
He probably OWNS and regularly wears these items. And he's too embarrassed to post here?
October 27th, 2014 at 5:18 PM ^
He hasn't posted since apologizing a few days ago after the FOIA thing came up negative.
October 27th, 2014 at 5:20 PM ^

This is a pretty stupid controversy. DB deletes his emails. They are not FOIA-able. Therefore the email must have been faked?

October 27th, 2014 at 5:26 PM ^
Are we sure that's how it works?
October 27th, 2014 at 5:35 PM ^
There are two places that the email could exist, if real. Brandon's sent mailbox and alleged recipient's inbox. Since the kid immediately started backtracking instead of trying to get the other piece of proof, its clear he's just an unhinged fan that decided to make shit up.

When I worked for an Accounting firm, things that were deleted were permanently deleted, because they didn't want emails to be subpoena-able unless they were filed as permanent. I'm not an accountant, but I think that's true.
October 27th, 2014 at 6:07 PM ^
I also used to work for an accounting firm. I don't think I intentionally deleted an email in the 3 years that I worked there. However, I think you are right, since whenever a client got in deep regulatory trouble, our lawyers would hound us to make sure that we didn't delete any emails. They wouldn't bother if deletion wasn't permanent.
