Hogville mods are a bunch of douche bags.

It's a bunch of humorless backwoods redneck blow hards.

It's a disgraceful place bar a few sections with information.

Were you the guy who posted about Bielema having a couple of beers at Maxine's or something and then saying some things he wouldn't have said to the media? I found it interesting how that guy was completely discounted and called a liar


Sounds similar to what happened with me. I gave info but never said directly that it came from Bret. I had to beat around the bush a little bit at the time. The conversation didn't take place at Maxine's.

From what I remember, it wasn't even anything super bad or insulting. It was just something he only would have said to actual people, rather than reporters.

I like Mike Irwin and I like reading his post. He is very informative. If you ever post info that he is not aware of he gets agitated quickly.

I shared some info once that came straight from Bret himself. Mike flew off the handle that I was wrong and the mods followed shortly. They locked and trashed the thread. Mike doesn't seem to realize when coaches talk in a casual setting they may say things that they wouldn't normally say to a member of the media.


Irwin is a good read either when he's giving insider recollections from coaching staffs dating back to Broyles or when he's playing the role of the lone sane person in the room when everyone over there is freaking out about something (like right now).

However, he can be a colossal humorless dick who gets rustled at the mere prospect of not being in the know for everything going on in and around tFlagship. I had Thanksgiving dinner with Broyles and his family a few years ago and mentioned some historical tidbit Coach told me (can't even remember what it was), and Irwin got hyper-rustled simply because he hadn't heard it before.

I've had always been referring to him as Bret but now I might just have to start calling him Bert.

And it just gets worse. Now Lanny has a post saying no negative talk about JWill's injury on the board. So we either have to post how great his injury is or pretend it didn't happen? I'm confused.

One poster took Lanny's balls out of his mouth long enough to say anyone dwelling on JWill should be banned. All I can do is laugh at this point.

I've seen people on there act like this is a big deal (because it totally fricking is), and the HV faithful morons lay into them for it. It's OK to admit that this could impact our season and to be a little worried.

I've visited that forum for the last time until at least the Texas Tech game. There is going to be no redeeming quality for that place until we get some wins.
