How could you know he is a Mizzou fan if he is posting anonymously?

Because the dumbass used his real name for the account and a quick Facebook search brings him right up

This. Not the brightest guy in the world.

And the night he started posting he had like 12 people immediately following him and they were all Mizzou fans. Not the brightest followers in the world.

He was found out to be a Mizzou fan because he had been registered for 5 hours, had tweeted ONLY Arkansas recruits, and was followed by 20 or so people, about 18 of whom were Mizzou people.

Then, when someone pointed out that all of his followers were Mizzou fans, BOOM, they were all deleted within a few minutes.

That "CallinDemHawgs" guy, and his aliases = Mizzou fan.

And the recruits saw it, too.

Yeah, those are probably rivals of yours. Figure out who you are competing with for recruits.

And maybe see if its a Mizzou fan, because that is who we have been dealing with.

Are you kidding? My fanbase stalked a recruits GF on twitter. Whatever chance we had of flipping him left the window when those idiots started blasting with their comments.

I do not like twitter.

Both Mizzou and arky fans are doing it. I saw a recruiting analyst mention it on twitter. Wish we could disown the fans that are doing it.

Yeah, Twitter is like everything else. Good, decent people can handle it. Then somebody pulls out their balls and its all ruined.

I don't either, it's a good place for idiots to expose themselves, and they take advantage of it frequently.

If I was a recruit I would definately put a lock on my Twitter account. Too many idiots out there from ALL fanbases

There is a currently a Missouri fan posing as an Arkansas fan who has been tweeting some pretty bad shite to our recruits recently.


Not even kidding, he might be a fan of Missouri or another schoo. But they guy texted mainly recruits we werent even targeting and especially a lot of the more obscure lesser known ones. It really could just be an Idiot out of your fanbase. Now the Piggie that posed as a Mizzou fan in retaliation has basically admitted he was fake. I dont see you guys complaining about that though.

I just saw where you found the guy on Facebook. If that was him then I take it back. But the reason there were so many Mizzou followers early was because on TigerBoard someone had saw DGB's response to him then everybody went to his page. If it was a Mizzou Fan then thats fricking stupid, and the same the other way around.

Agreed. This kind of shite helps nobody in the long run.

It actually hurts, these guys get exposed pretty quickly and it makes the fanbase look terrible. Recruiting is a dirty process in itself, it doesn't need retard fans stirring the shite up.

The first three recruits he originally was tweeting were DGB, Will Hines and Johnathan Williams. He has since moved on to other recruits. Between that, all the original Mizzou followers and his Facebook account its pretty obvious he is a Mizzou fan.

Didn't know there was an Arkansas fan doing it too. He is obviously as big as of a jackass and embarrassment as well. I hope your fans are also calling him out for being an idiot.

The whole concept of stalking a recruit like that is down right creepy and incredibly lame.

I wasn't aware of it either, and I agree.

I agree. Unfortunately, any jackass can get on Facebook or Twitter and pull this shite.

All schools have fans that do it and they are idiots for doing so. Add one more thing that hopefully high school coaches, parents etc... are educating these young men about.

Wow. It seems other schools might have it worse. Im going to flip a lid if Colin Blake doesn't come to A&M and says in an interview that twitter soured him to A&M

Honestly it seems shitty now. But I think as people become more twitter savvy, and recruiting and twitter stay on the same course people will really downplay the idiots. I think people are starting to realize these guys are fake, but in the future I think it will be given no creditibility as people are more aware that anybody can pretend to be anybody online. Come a few years from now I think nobody will even fall for stupid shite like this.
