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:

And this gem:



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

Most importantly, he created the flowcharts for which teams to cheer for during the World Cup this summer. (Regardless of who was playing, the answer was always America.)

The dude seriously has one of the strongest Twitter games of all time.
