I know there are a lot of "haters" out there for every program and most of these people tend to be fans of rival teams/schools.
To paint Pantherhawk into that very broad group is incorrect in my opinion. I am often amazed at the strange little nooks and crannies I find Pantherhawk. I get a google news email under the subject "TCF Bank Stadium". I had set it up back in the days when the stadium was about to open and I wanted to read what the press was saying about the stadium. I haven't bothered to delete the link because it does deliver an interesting news piece a time or two per week that relates to Gopher football. Anyway, as I go to these far flung news pieces I am always amazed at finding Pantherhawk's footprint in the form of reader comments, posts, etc.
I simply can't imagine the amount of time this guy spends in front of a computer with the sole purpose of bashing Minnesota. He leaves no stone unturned and the volume of posts, comments, etc. and of course the incorrect nature of them is astounding. It goes far beyond a broad comment that there are lots of people like him. Sure, people will spew incorrect things meant to harm college football programs, but I would be interested to know if there could possibly be another person that goes to the lengths this guy travels.
As everyone else has said... It really isn't behavior one would associate with an adult. It is so bad that one almost comes away from it as feeling sorry for him. There really has to be some self esteem or quality of life issues at play. I also wonder what triggered this behavior in the guy. Like most people, I pretty much ignore his writings (always the same) but even with ignoring him you can't help but stumble into some of his web "contributions" just due to the sheer volume of characters flying off of his keyboard. The fact he is covering ever message board, and literally contacting recruits through facebook is just astoundingly sad (for him).
