BANNED

I’ve been banned from a message board for Notre Dame basketball. Now for my friend Ralph, his world would stop if he couldn’t go to www.goheels.com. But my world is still spinning. I was banned for defending Tyler Hansbrough and because he didn’t believe my name was really Cam Corder. Can you believe that?

I was banned by ElKabong. That is the call name for the keeper of the message board. El K, as his minions so affectionately call him, is really Mike Coffey. He is some mid 30’s computer geek that spends 22 hours a day scouring the world-wide-web, lusting after info to satisfy his man crush on 17 year old hoop stars that he dreams about playing for the Irish. Can’t you envision him staring blurry eyed at his computer screen in his boxer shorts, eating bags of Doritos and yelling upstairs for his mom to bring him some more kool aid? He fashions himself some Notre Dame hoops savant who thinks he is in the inner circle. He is a glorified groupie.

Now I hope he finds my blog. But then again he will probably attack my computer with a virus. It will be called the Dorito Dust Virus.

And don’t laugh, I am not bitter. Just out of Doritos and Kool Aid.

I was banned over there several years ago. I think, what it is, is El K wants everyone to regurgitate his opinions. If you notice, those who are left all agree with him. I was banned because I came out and said I did not want Ty Willingham as a coach when we were going after him. Of course, I was called a racist and banned. A couple of years later, El K led the letter they sent to Notre Dame criticizing Willingham.

I started a blog called Domer Sports Report. The url is http://www.domersportsreport.blogspot.com. We also have a message board. I invite you to come on over and join us!

All you need to know about Mike Coffey is he was in the band at ND. He has no inside information on ND Hoops. He is just one of the owners of the site that decided to take charge of the basketball site.

The site takes donations too, the higher the donation the more they allow you to get away with on the board. That is evidenced by one particular poster that breaks all of the nerd rules they have set up there.

The funniest thing about the ND site is one of the owners did not attend ND. My brother being an alum received an ND related update in the mail and it had a picture of the 4 guys that own the site. Every single person at our house that day was able to pick out of the picture which guy did not attend ND. Hint- he was the only one that did not look like he was in the band in high school

"It is what we do for Christ in the here and now that will make a difference in the then and there."

I guess Christ would post a bitchy whiny cry-baby post on his weak ass blog about how he didn't get to join the club. What a baby. P.S. TheTruthHurts...how would you know. there's no truth in your statements. Your line about donations is flat lie. Coffey "has no inside information" ?? The guy wrote a book for god's sake.

The NDNation site used to be far more interesting and informative. It has devolved into a group of self-important Board Ops whose own blog entries are poorly written fluff with no real inside information (e.g.,we KNEW K. White was leaving as AD, we just couldn't tell you until it was announced in the South Bend Trib).

And the posters comments are repeated over and over and over and over again (hey, the schedule sucks and White wanted a Jumbotron, ha ha ha).

Take your banning as a badge of honor.

Have your read Coffey's book? (not many have)Its a series of interviews with former players and coaches. Not "inside information". Coffey doesn't really even have as much access to the program as the beat reporters do so there really isn't much on the site that isn't common knowledge.
I've read the site for years. Hoops wise its not bad, at least it doesn't have the daily venom of "Rock's House" where everyone else in coolege football is either corrupt or incompetant or both.
I'd quess you were banned by Kabong for trashing Mike Brey. Seems to be the normal path.
