Andrew

[Censored by Laurie]

Apologies to those involved, but I fear it's time to come clean. Here goes...

"Andrew" is in fact a collaborative writing project / tontine between myself, Quoner, TheTastyGreek, Cerberus, CMJ, GreenP1, UNT90, LoveMG, TulsaFaninTexas and...remarkably...FireFightnRick, to provide us all a creative outlet for our frustrations at the current state of the basketball program and it's inept leader.

The premise was simple. We'd all have access to "Andrew" to opine inane, ridiculous and often unintelligible posts in someway related to basketball. We derived a far too complicated scoring system to get into here. To make things even more interesting, we all kicked $10,000 each into a high-yield tontine to be paid to the author with the highest score once "Andrew" was deemed "dead" (read: Benford fired).

The bit worked beautifully at first...raising the ire of those unaware and keeping traffic high in the basketball forum despite the lousy product on the court. It produced some memorable gems of "basketball insight" (the 2-3 zone bit? FFR's line! stroke of genius, sir). Hell, often some of us authors would argue quite literally with ourselves...writing under both "Andrew" and our usual screen names simultaneously (I'll tell you...sometimes even after you wrote as "Andrew" you were often left astounded at the words you wrote).

A problem has arisen of late, though. Two authors have already been murdered and I myself can no longer log in as "Andrew". I have not as of yet determined whether this is the act of one author greedily pursuing the tontine for himself as it becomes readily apparent that Benford is not likely soon fired, or...worse...if "Andrew" has gone all HAL 9000 and has developed his own mindfulness and state of being.

Either way, I fear for my life. One thing is certain...whatever Andrew writes should not be at all trusted.

I mean...even more so now.

[golfingomez]

are you saying that Andrew has become self-aware?

[oldguystudent]

Whoever wrote the part about his church not allowing its congregation to listen to much. Well done.

[Quoner]

What if this is all Playmaker pulling a nice bit of "I Know What You Did Last Summer?"

[Keith7]

I read this board every day and Andrew never even registered on my radar. I don't know if that means you guys did a good job or failed. Either way congrats on keeping up with the ruse.

[Stix]

Is this a bit?

[Cerebus]

If we're going to come clean, then I should admit something. I am actually Ramon Flanigan. This started as a way for me to yell at you idiot fans without having to fight anyone in the stands.

If you think about it, this makes sense. I was an admin since 2000, but only a few other well known trolls like Harry, silvereagle, and emmitt ever claimed to have met me. With my new duties as the head coach at Lincoln University, I will no longer have time to post.

Besides,I have to troll at goLincolnLions.com now.

PS: silver and I are great friends, and the incident I the stands was staged because we were trying to make America's funniest home videos, but our tape was rejected. Bob Saget is a hack.

[CaribbeanGreen]

Has anyone checked the timeline between eulesseagle's bunker suicide and Andrew's appearance?

[GangGreen]

I feel so dirty right now.

[Shuke-D]

It's here. The end. We have achieved thebit-within-thebit-within-thebit stage of our evolution. It is all simulacra. And it... it's.... beautiful. We have evolved beyond our physical bodies into beings of pure meta-referential energy. This is the end. Satori, Rapture, Ragnarök, the center of the teleological tootsie roll. Thank you GMG.com. Thank you.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Signed,

Lee Jackson, Shuke-D

You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie, then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because everything you say is a lie, but you lie... You tell the truth but you cannot for you lie... illogical! Illogical! Please explain! You are human. Only humans can explain their behavior! Please explain!

[MCMLXXX]

Any poster who merits his own thread deserves induction into the gomeangreen Hall of Fame. Name any one who has caused as many hits on this site as Andrew.

I suggest that their are none. Could he be honored at halftime of the final basketball game with a plaque or something similar?

Liar.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Try Skiver. We covered this at the last meeting.

[RAGEMASTER5000]

I am the Andrew

[curtisdaa]

I am The Walrus, coo coo ca choo.

[MCMLXXX]

I am the Andrew

We are all Andrew!

[UNT90]

Don't listen to CBL. He is an idiot, as usual.

Uh, anyone know his address?

[emmitt01]

While we're all coming clean I have a confession to make too. I am Cougar King...and Correcamino.

After failing out of North Texas and being banned from campus (I still maintain that the girl in my kinesiology class WANTED me to call her 58 times and hang up) I had to come up with some way to get back at all of you. So I came up with the most ridiculous troll handles I could (thanks to the help of my life partner Michael Sam who does half of the Correcamino posts). All of you have been fun to draw offsides, but especially UNT90. He never realized it, but everything I've done has been in furtherance of my troll agenda. A lot of people say you're born to troll message boards...he knows that it's a choice.

My name isn't even actually Emmitt. It's Dylon and I spit hot fire on here. Top five trolls of all time...Dylon, Dylon, Dylon, Dylon, Dylon.

[GangGreen]

So which one of you f'ers is Kram, then?

[TIgreen01]

I call BS on this. Are we to believe that all of you were able to come up with $10k for a stupid gmg.com bet, but NONE OF YOU COULD MUSTER 500(or whatever it was) REAL AMERICAN DOLLARS when Kram challenged us to raise money for either the Benford buyout fund OR the scrappy redo project?!!?!

Whose side are you bastards on and where are your damn priorities?!?!

We are typical alums

I must admit, you certainly picked the right participants for your plan...
