Funny you should mention him. He just lost his Portland radio gig over "offensive" comments.

How do you hire someone like that and not know what a loose cannon he is?

Why am I not surprised he'd be defending Neo-Nazis?

Actually, he wasn't. If you read the article, which you obviously didn't, he was fired for comments made back in June about running over protestors laying down in the street blocking traffic. Those comments came to light again after Charlottesville and that was the end.

Ahh... I saw the date on the article and read the first paragraph. My mistake.

I'm enjoying this thread. Couple of notes. there is something weird about the cheyennegunslinger. I actually thought it was Dino. Second, I do suspect this laradise if only because he's now trying to call a wyonation old timer a sock puppet.

I feel like there's a chance he's back in Laramie.....There's a douche that looks like him at the bar I try to avoid talking to but the timeline mostly lines up, he looks like Dino. Obviously I could be wrong though
 
How Keith Olberman still has a job is beyond me. Have you seen his twitter? It's like a leftist Dino.

And the bolded is exactly why. Nothing usually happens when the left stirs something up, no matter how big. But as soon as the right says anything it's WWIII.

Some of you may already be aware, but DCPoke has posted almost every single Wyoming practice report and team update on the Iowa Rivals forum. No need to scout your opponent too aggressively when you have guys like DCPoke giving you all the information you need on a silver platter. Reading the comments, some of the Hawkeye fans already have a pretty good gameplan of what they need to do to beat Wyoming.

Thanks DCPoke!! Maybe for the Oregon game tell them that we run a triple option and only throw the ball 5 times per game?

It's just a message board and him posting some articles and having some nice discussions. If the coaches are reading our message boards and gathering intelligence, they won't last past the first game of the season anyways.

I bet we have a team of two or three guys that does nothing but gather information and consolidate it for our coaches. Iowa probably has more. Then they have the tape and stats and all that to digest. Probably a few guys working on that. By the time its all said and done, they have a far different view of what the opponent is up to than we do.

The only way DCPoke is a problem is if he is working inside the athletic department. He isn't. He is just one hell of a fan - a friendly fan - and a hell of a Poke. In fact, I bet wyonation would love it if we all went over there and signed up, then got them back here to engage.

Exactly. It's the classic "it's okay if I do it but not okay if you".

Because the media is controlled by leftists. Olberman is as crazy as they come

Count me out. I will NEVER be a member of that board.

In fact, :finger: to that message board and a great portion of it's members.

The best thing that has happened to Wyoming in the last 10 years is having that ass head move on to greener pastures. Feeling sorry for Portland and the place he will end up next.

Oh wow, thanks for the info. Not surprising that he would advocate for running people over.

The thing that really sucks about him getting fired (again and again)...he comes 'crawling' back to Wyoming because he somehow thinks that Wyoming folk support his vile garbage. Unfortunately, I am sure that we will be hearing from that cancer again soon. Luckily I don't think there is any way he will ever obtain media credentials at the University of Wyoming again.

You don't need to take the OP seriously. CJ is correct regarding this LaradiseCowboy/CheyenneGunslinger poster. Best to ignore and hope they go away like Dino eventually did.
 
I thought Wyovanian and I were bad, until I read you two's threads. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you two were married the way they fight.

I'm not trying to be funny, but what exactly does it mean to be a "sock puppet," according to your definition?

As somebody squarely in the middle as an "unaffiliated" (whatever that means), I honestly don't think you can compare the two (in this country) as the "no matter how big" isn't in the same ball park.

Extreme right talks about killing/gassing/torturing people based on attributes they have no control over. They do all this while ignoring facts and science.

Extreme left thinks money's an infinite resource that should be divided equally regardless of effort provided, and that smashing windows and destroying property somehow makes people see their point of view. They also enjoy ignoring facts and science, though.


Once again - in this country. The Soviets killed just as many people as the Nazis.

What a tremendous thread. I have thought for the longest that LC was a sock of CJ. Please, keep going.

Why would anyone sock puppet their own fan base? Especially when the last 20 years has established that I have very little concern what people think of my internet persona?

If I've got something to say, I'll just say it. I don't need to re-invent myself as someone else and I can't understand the people that play "internet double agent" to pass their time.

I own my history, like it or not.

When I posted the story of Dino's short stint in Portland, I was hoping people would see the irony of how/why he was fired. He could probably be fired for something he said in every single broadcast. To be fired over a remark made 2 months earlier that got tied back to incident that just occurred is astounding. Maybe they were looking for a reason to can him. I've never heard his show but I saw him on tv once and he sounded absolutely bat shit crazy. I can only imagine the word is out on him now and his broadcasting career is over.
