greatest feeling in sports fandom is to truly be hated for your success
Especially some overzealous fanboys who had nothing to do with said success.

The HPS weren't hated for Nebraska's success though.

They were hated because they were assholes.

Fearless isn't an asshole and wasn't hated.

....as far as you know,FF just might have pulled a Hooky and created one of those HPS fellers as a Psued like ND Rules. Hell could have been HH himself playing the field for all we know

When did you come across the HPS I thought 94 mentioned the old CNN/SI board was their spawning grounds. Did they migrate over to the Fuitak's CFN Board? I didn't join CFN board until '03-'04. However I knew it was around (the main page that is) because I was visiting it weekly during the season for the consensus picks ATS by all the boards writers - that they still have.

I could always tell Slick's sock accounts.  At the very least he had a Husker, and a Sooner, and an Aggie.  And it was always pretty obvious which were him.

Of course, there were also times when folks suggested that every Longhorn fan on the site-- including me--  was actually a Hooky puppet.

And maybe, just maybe... that's true.
