PrintGotta say, this series of April Fools posts went much better than expected. We joined forces with our good friends at Rock Chalk Talk for a few hours to produce a series of posts that started out subtle and veered toward ridiculous, and we maybe kind of sucked a few people into the joke for a while. It was a fun morning.
Best (and Most Effective) Post Award: RCT Staff Announcement: Myself
Best Actor Award (tie): ghtd36 and The Beef.
Other notable quotables: Mizzou Links ("He was an absolute force on the defensive end, and he earned my respect."), Spreadbone (Ross wants me to assure everyone involved that THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY A JOKE), Cole in the Rafters, Quin > Norm, Depth: Who Coaches It Well ("Does anyone here really think Kansas wouldn't have been a better team in 2009-2010 with Mike Anderson coaching?"), and The Missing Piece.
ONE MORE NOTE: Kudos to KCsince88 for not taking advantage of his handful of hours with RMN editorship. He didn't take any liberties with anybody's posts ... as far as I can tell.

The sleeper has awoken. . .awakened. . .he woke up.
If I could have changed it to Apr. 2...
…that would have been the ultimate April Fools joke.

When Mrs. Bill C weighed in on our "fight", I panicked.
It was like seeing a child wander out into the middle of a gang firefight.

People on Tigerboard thought it was real
of course, that may say something for the general quality of posters on Tigerboard

Awesome job . . .
It is even fun reading back over it after the fact. Besides the constant flow of quality analysis, the give and take between our editors, AUTHOR, and regulars makes RMN my first stop every morning – which is valuable, since my WSJ and USA don’t hit my mailbox until 11 am.
make sure to check out their spat over at Rock Chalk Talk
great work.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.
Indeed, I went over there and thought this might be real.....maybe
You guys sold it too! Great job!
That was freaken fun!
