I read something sort of interesting earlier. A lot of these rumors (both right MD & Rutgers and wrong FSU Clemson) have come from west virginia fans message board posters, bloggers and twitter accounts.
One of them is thedudeofwv, here is an exchange he had on twitter about why he starts some of these rumors:
The Dude of WV @theDudeofWV
think about this ACC - none of this would have happened had you not insulted WVU.
Mark Ennis @Mengus22
@theDudeofWV You finally admitted your motivation to the world.
@Mengus22 I did that weeks ago. To sow instability in the ACC & make poaching easier.
It may be conspiracy theoryish of me, but I wonder if this shit pushes the cart in front of the horse? I mean a lot of these schools that are on the border of having expansion options or not (like GT, UVA, MD) are likely acting in large part out of fear of someone else taking their spot at the table. Will our football program die partially because some white trash piece of shit from the worst state in the union lies on twitter?
I'd like you to all join me in hoping that he loses his lower jaw from too much meth and poor hygiene like so many of his friends and neighbors.
