tmfr15 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Don't know how many people saw this, but there was a joke article circulating Facebook yesterday reporting that Bo had been arrested. It looked legit as it was sourced to the Journal Star. Upon clicking on it, however.... it turned out to be a hoax. April 1 was a long time ago. No need to continue with these kinds of pranks. I just sat there staring at my cell phone for a while, too afraid to click through for the details. Glad it was b.s. but let's not have these happening very often. I am shell shocked enough from the bad news that is real. Quote Link to comment

Blackshirts007 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I saw it too...said he was arrested for child pornography. We had different responses however, I just laughed. Quote Link to comment
tmfr15 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 The one I was just said arrested. If it would have said child porn, I probably would have laughed too. But with it just saying... arrested, I thought, crap, DUI or some such silly crap. In any case, glad it was fiction. Quote Link to comment
Bigred_inSD Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 That angle is a bit much, they could of came up with something not so awful as that. I was hoping to share that link, but now, not so much Quote Link to comment

Creighton Duke Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Whoa. I thought I was the only one. The LJS Hoax article actually linked to a news reporter covering the story (hot chick, I might add). Hopefully its still up/active. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BROWqjuTM0g Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 NUpolo8 placed him under citizen's arrest for not being a proponent of bold flavors. Or something of that nature. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 On a related note, remember the Husker fan who posted a fake article several years ago about Sam Bradford getting arrested for distributing cocaine. I think he (the poster) got sued for libel. He was a poster at Huskerpedia, IIRC. Not sure what the outcome of the lawsuit was, or what ever happened to the idiot Husker fan who posted the fake article. Quote Link to comment

HuskerCarter Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 The only legit crime I could believe Bo being arrested for, is some form of assault or battery. Quote Link to comment
