The Hilarious Man Behind @FauxPelini Gives First Ever TV Interview
The man behind @FauxPelini, the best parody account in sports, did his first on-camera interview this week.
With a muffled voice and silhouette lighting, the Twitter hero discusses the importance of being college football’s most notorious troll. The video also includes Bo Pelini reading some of @FauxPelini’s tweets, which is painfully funny because the real Pelini sucks at delivering jokes.
@FauxPelini is the genius creator behind the “Bo Pelini in a sweater with his cat” photo–it’s now a staple in the college football community.
His presence is so deep at the University of Nebraska, that for this year’s spring football game, Bo Pelini led the team out of the tunnel holding his cat. (See above image.) The Nebraska football coach even takes his cat with him on certain recruiting visits now, too.
Here are some highlights from @FauxPelini’s Twitter account:
I challenge @Lane_Kiffin to dump a bucket of thumbtacks on his head to raise awareness for Restless Leg Syndrome

He likes to troll other coaches, too. Especially Urban Meyer, because everybody hates Urban Meyer.
