OT: Another way for an AD to respond
So as happens all too often, fans of opposing teams take to twitter to rib individuals from players to coaches to athletic directors. Here is a bit about the AD from Ole Miss and a fan of Mississippi State.

First the AD tells him since he tweets about Ole Miss so much then perhaps he should consider giving money to the athletic department.
The Miss St fan then makes a veiled threat about meeting face to face.
Bjork then posts of photo of him and a wrestling championship belt and basically says to bring it.
This is the same guy that told the person that took the goal post to bring it by and they would cut it into pieces to have a nice momento. The AD can be fun.

Advantage: Bjork

ADC: Kurt Angle?

I tend to think that Bjork's response wouldn't fly here, even though it's pretty funny.
But I love that shot of Brandon with a pizza.

Here's an idea: don't even respond. Who cares what Steve from Mississippi who is married to his cousin has to say. Just playing with fire. Ask DB

Thank you captain obvious.

You can get away with more when your football team has good coaches
November 5th, 2014 at 3:35 PM ^
His sons are named Payton (8) and Paxton (4). Will the next be Pawton?

I think you could interpret the question to which you responded to as "so, why didn't he start with 'pazton'"? Maybe the error was in your interpretation of his post, not in his ability to determine that the next logical letter in a sequence y,x would not be z.
November 6th, 2014 at 1:07 PM ^
Probably because Pazton is a stupid name.
November 5th, 2014 at 3:36 PM ^
That's still on the AD then to hire better coaches.

If you read the comments in that post you will see that Ole Miss calls Miss State "Little Brother" and "Moo U" and Miss State refers to them as "That School Up North".
Gotta love college football.
November 5th, 2014 at 5:28 PM ^
I saw that too. What the hell? Obviously they borrowed "little brother", but I can't imagine those other monikers just arose on their own. They're all terms related to UM.

A third way:
Ignoring people on twitter talking smack about your football team. I know it's a shock to some people, but not every voice on the Internet needs to be listened to.
November 5th, 2014 at 3:58 PM ^
November 5th, 2014 at 6:38 PM ^
No, I got that. I just think that, in general, people in high-ranking positions don't need to respond to everyone who tweets or emails him/her. I get that in this instance they were in on the joke.

not every voice on the Internet needs to be listened to.
Uh? What? Did you say something?
November 5th, 2014 at 6:39 PM ^
I get the irony.
I do find it funny that you blockquote me and then make a joke about not hearing me. It's equivalent on saying "that guy over there said X" and then saying "but I wasn't listening."

I have no opinions on Bjork the AD, but I think Bjork the singer sucks.
November 5th, 2014 at 4:43 PM ^
November 5th, 2014 at 5:11 PM ^
Except this is actually kind of funny.
None of Dave Brandon's attempts at something like this have ever been funny and I'm not just saying that because we're losing.

makes everything funny
