Curious what you posted.
From what I can gather (outside of what has already been deleted), the trigger for the dustup was that MM posted that Mike Shaw was practicing in a green jersey (signifying an injury of some sort). Beav said he wasn't in a green jersey and inferred that MM was not at practice or making things up. MM blasted back that a player can begin practice in a green jersey during drills, then if it's determined he can go, they'll let him go full bore. Also, MM mentioned a friend of RRs was visiting from WV, which for some reason sent Beav into further denial mode. MM said the guy is, in fact, there as it was for a business meeting that he was a part of. All seems pretty petty, but there are apparently some underlying issues with beav's use of MM's info in the past as well as beav posting some private emails. I have little respect for beaver after the shenanigans he pulled during Pryor's recruitment.
1. Maizeman sent out an email privately which are not to be distributed.
2. The email contained info about a player who entered practice in a green jersey, but didn't have it on during practice (which was the smoking gun to cut ties after years of milking MM's content) and thus was "made up info"
3. Tom calls out maker-uppers, alluding to MM, gives a few examples. He also mocks this person for losing their connections with the old regime (then why were Maizeman practice reports pinned atop BP for the last 2 years during RR's regime?)
4. MM posts a heated board thread... stands by his emails, explains the misunderstanding. Was furious at Tom for calling him a liar, particularly by using private emails, and says he won't associate with deceitful people.
5. In an impromptu chat, Maizeman calms down a bit, is more regretful than angry, speaks well of Tom and doesn't want anyone to have hard feelings over his departure.
6. Tom joins chat. When asked why he attacks MM, he says he would never attack MM, it hurts him every time, but won't do it.
7. Then says they won't use people who make stuff up.
What happened to #6?
8. Tom says UM was mad at them for MM's info, even though it was through an email. so they cut ties.
9. Other mods say that they're moving on, because to prove their point they would have to attack MM professionally.
10. Maizeman apologizes on the board for the misunderstanding and the difficulty that he brought on the board.
The board is a bigger circus than the team or school politics.
