No more jokes please. Shell shocked enough already

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.

settled for undisclosed $$

And you know this for sure because ......

Okay, Mr. Google shed a bit more light on this:

Newspaper sues Nebraska fan over bogus article about Sooners
Posted 7/15/2008 11:04 AM

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The publisher of Oklahoma's largest newspaper and one of its sportswriters have sued a University of Texas employee who admitted posting a bogus article on the Internet about two University of Oklahoma football players.
The Oklahoma Publishing Co., which publishes The Oklahoman newspaper and newsok.com website, filed a civil lawsuit Monday against James W. Conradt, a Nebraska football fan who works as a service manager for UT's information technology department.

The 10-count civil lawsuit accuses Conradt of libel, copyright violations and trademark infringements. It seeks unspecified financial damages.

Conradt, 36, used a template from the newspaper's website to publish a fake article on the Internet on July 9 that stated OU quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Landry Jones had been arrested for intent to distribute cocaine, the lawsuit alleges.

Seems like the newspaper went overboard going after the guy in legal proceedings. I suspect the newspaper sued him to make a point. I guess I can understand why.

Anyway, the guy was DarthHusker. I guess he'll be forever associated with the Internet hoax that went a bit too far over the line. And he got called to task for it.

DarthHusker seems like an appropriate handle for a Husker fan who works as a Longhorn
