@FauxPelini Opens Up on Bo's Firing, Reveals Plans for Future of Parody Account

[supadupafly]

We finally hear (at least the voice) from the man (we'll call him Michael - his middle name) behind the legendary parody Twitter account known as @FauxPelini.

Is there a @FauxRiley in the works somewhere? Those who enjoy some good Twitter humor can only hope.

One of the best parody Twitter accounts out there.

Probably best to change the handle to FauxRiley and move on. There's always room for a good parody account. Even for a new coach.

Although the I can see how Ghost of Bo Pelini could work. Almost like a curse for firing a successful coach. That would be quite funny.

I'd be in favor of both of those results.

I would go with @MoFauxBo.

Ha! It reminds me of a disgruntled U of Mn student and Ford employee who wrote FO MO Co. is a MO FO Co.

He posted a bunch of advice tweets yesterday for Mike Riley. Just a few of the good ones:

"Faux" and "Mike" don't rhyme.

"Faux" and "Mike" don't rhyme.

Twitter policy is you have to rhyme? WTH?

"Faux" is funny in this instance because it rhymes with "Bo". It sounds like "Bo Pelini," but instead comes out "Faux Pelini." For example, a parody twitter account of Jake Plummer might be called @FakePlummer. I didn't realize that this was breaking news to some people.

@FauxPelini is at it again. Good stuff.

@FauxPelini has brilliant exchange with the Belk Bowl: http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/12/fauxpelini-belk-bowl-twitter?hootPostID=044533f9d21d52d3748e76f9f7ad8c75

Text exchange with the Pope:

I hope he decides to keep doing that page.
