Couple meets in college fan forum

Two Michigan grads from WI meet on-line in a U of M-themed forum.

The comments section in the article is hilarious. Sounds like Scoop isn't the only stew of rage, moral indignation, and  iron-clad principles.

Like most online forums, it was humanity's digital septic tank, a playground for the obnoxious, the juvenile and the fakest of tough guys (and, rarely, gals). Insults flew like paper airplanes in detention. If commenters weren't putting down rival schools, they were trolling one another. Intelligent football discussions would occasionally initiate, but most threads turned ugly in a hurry.

Just to make sure we're doing it right, we should probably start an intelligent football discussion....

Wait, they met in the Comments section of an ESPN blog?  Thats even more ridiculous.  The comments section of any major digital publication makes Scoop seem placid, civil, and downright constructive.

What did you expect?  Save for one married Chick, it's pretty much a bunch of dudes hanging around here.

Oh... you said placid.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

There have been a few here and there, but y'all have run the rest of them off.

Sorry, boys, I'm not getting out of your clubhouse.

Quite the opposite.  As you recall, I inspired her to join.

If you believe Chicos, he's met pretty much everybody. So this isn't that big of a deal.

Michael Dukakis' nephew is certainly someone to brag about having met.

Nope, never met you and hoping to keep it that way.  A few others here I've met, good dudes.

Didn't you run her here and then run her off?   :)

One of the Scoop Hall of Fame moments.

If Jim Harbaugh hired Tanned Tommy as an assistant would the Big House be festooned with banners?
