Collin and Magnus

[TheRumGone]

I remember mags posting on here but don’t remember the other guy, maybe before my time.

Magnus actually runs a blog and it is pretty interesting. (Just saw that Mr. Scot posted this earlier) I do not have the link, but we could share it.

I was CATAMOUNT on that other site--it was more mature, fewer trolls and more intelligent fans--however, only about 10 peoplle posted regularly.  We got to know one another really well.  I once asked Mags about this site, and he complained (not to put words in his mouth) about the immature hostility one has to tolerate here.  I don't notice it anymore, but it was obvious.  Here you have to filter through a lot of stupid crap.  Threads are often derailed.  For example, when the are announcing undrafted free agent signings after the draft, people get into side arguments on the thread that is supposed to be for listing the  player and a profile--instead, some numbnuts start talking about how a player is from the Big 10 and how much it is better than the ACC and we are off.  3 pages later, someone posts the next undrafted free agent signing.  Just one of many examples.  I like this site, but sifting through the retardation is a bit time consuming on occasion.  And I am not specifically referencing Steven8989.  That would be wrong to do that. (An example of how it starts!)

Yeah, I liked that other site.  There was actual discussion without the whining, bitching, and dick measuring...even when people were disagreeing.  It was also nice to see other teams' fans perspectives on things.  I just wish all the spam hadn't taken over.

The biggest thing here is that it is so active.  But like you said, you have to sift through the crap to get to the legitimate discussion.  And every once in a while, someone posts some actual worthwhile information.  I just wish the quality poster's weren't drowned out by the trolls/troublemakers.  

As for Magnus and Collin, I've posted for many, many years on sites with Magnus (all the way back to the Magnus Ver Magnusson, mVm days - even before Rivals).  Even when I didn't agreed with his take, I knew he at least has put real thought and football understanding into his reasoning...and I can say that I did learn some things from him.  But Collin was the definition of a shitposter.  He honestly thought he knew a lot more about football than he actually does...and more than anyone else (including the professionals).  And while it's fine to disagree, it was like he went out of his way to be disrespectful, aggressive, and mean spirited to anyone that dared to disagree with him. 

Bottom line, would love Magnus to post, but please leave Collin in the hole he's buried in.

Collin told Mister Scott to "go be with his kind" at the huddle. He never posted again. Lol

Collin was a dick, not a troll.

I was on board when he got his ass kicked. The fact that he was moron enough to get into a real world fight over internet arguments tells you everything you need to know about him.

Still talk to Magnus on occasion but TBR started dying a long, long time ago.

The folks who bought TBR have talked to me about trying to reboot it and make it similar to the Huddle, but there hasn't been much progress on their end.  The guy who keeps PMing me about it seems like a bit of a flake.    The board still exists, though.    Barely.

I liked them as a pair. I think Magnus had a higher football IQ, but Collin had better rhetorical skills.  Because of this, I always felt like there was a ton of useful stuff to come out of their brawls, if you could just observe it as an impartial viewer.
