CV3000 Fired -- per duck fan request

It is with a heavy heart that we bring this sad news to you.  We had some recent allegations against CV3000, claiming that he makes things up about the 5th place ducks (he didn't make that up--they did finish 5th in the Pac-10), and so we had to perform an investigation. 

Here are the complaints:

Wow, they really should fire CV3000
I have friends at OSU and I don’t think this bitterness and lack of college football knowledge is a good indicator of Beaver fans. Grow Up and try and make a blog based on facts……………..try to.

In that quote from the article about UW practicing for chop blocking….. there isn’t one mention about the University of Oregon, so just because you have a hatred for us doesn’t mean you can make up things about our team. It sounds like they are just practicing it to practice it and be ready. Never heard anything about us being dirty in any media. So I really think you should rethink your way of writing here. I’m all for a little sly and witty jabs here and there but your end, right now, is getting childish and pathetic. ... Just saying there are a lot more important things for your team you could be talking about then making up things about your fellow Oragonians 45 minutes south.

It was the saddest decision since Ol' Yeller, but we had to let CV3000 go for (gasp!) quoting and linking a beat writer on a football blog.  Now that we've let CV3000 go, this duck fan --who was up past midnight obsessing about the Beavers-- can have another peaceful day in the little green bubble.

"The duck fan gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, ever ything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. The duck fan loved Big Brother."

Wow, didn't know I could get someone fired..........

Ok, I am the crazed duck fan up past midnight because that’s how deep my passion goes! Look as far as CV3000 goes, I stand by statements, but I don’t dislike a guy I don’t even know. I hope there isn’t too much of hard feelings (I didn’t know they would actually fire him) and I hope he isn’t trying to plan killing me in my sleep or anything! I wish him the best of luck and hope he works out his “transferred aggression” or something (I don’t know, read that in a book) he has towards us Ducks. If he ever returns to this blog I hope he writes more about his own team then about us, and when he does write about us, don’t make sh*t up! Like I said if I’d have it my way every november in oregon the two top ranked, undefeated teams would meet (and UO would win by 14). But now because of this turn of events, I probably should never reveal my name for my own safety.

Yet another reason to hate Oregon

The firing of CV3000 makes me add yet another reason to hate Oregon to my list. Those god damn hippies in Eugene have to be pretty proud of themselves now. I will never read BTD until CV3000 is reinstated!!!!!! Long live CV3000

Those god damn hippies in Eugene have to be pretty proud of themselves now.

I’m not quite sure any of the “hippies” read either BtD or ATQ. So I’d venture to guess they have no clue as to what has happened. Therefore they are probably not too “proud of themselves” for anything related to this incident.

I don’t know and don’t care. I could care less about hippies.

You're joking

Since when did OS fans give a rat @ss what Duck fans think. If true, I’m going to miss CV3000’s reaction to Oregon knocking off OS this fall.

Well...

…we both know that you must be talking about a sport other than football [Ducklings WILL NOT waddle into Reser and win this 2008 season]!!!

GO BEAVS!!!

I would take this as a joke...

Except his name isn’t on the ol’ roster below.
I’m guessing that this article was written by CV. Either way… best of luck to him, and his internet posting future. I don’t think him quitting/removed was required, but that’s because I was actually looking forward to see what his post-game analysis was about the Beaver’s performance in when the season was underway.

While my vote is pretty much meaningless… I would actually like to nominate/encourage “OrState GoBeavs”. While he’s pleasantly bias, he’s also realistic. He is well formulated with his writing.

Go Duckies!

Re-Elect CV3000!!!

This being an election year, I’m sure everyone is familiar with mudslinging. Candidate A says something negative about Candidate B, Candidate B fires something right back, and no one is surprised by this! It’s what the political types do. Most of it goes completely ignored by the general populous.

Therefore, in order that he be able to write anything he desires (regardless of factuality), I nominate CV3000 for mayor of our little community within Beaver Nation!

CV, with your newfound status as a political candidate, please, blog away! :)

I did not see this coming

We didn’t mean to knock CV off his position, we just really found his writing annoying and unprofessional.

And I also would nominate OrState GoBeavs, he’s the most realistic and fair I’ve seen on most any blogs. He really gets it done, and his writing is quality.

Wherever CV is, hope he does what he does well. I’m very sorry to him and you BtDers.

I don’t know who “requested” CV’s termination, but I think that may be going too far. Whatever, ship has sailed, I eagerly await BtD’s rise back to the proverbial SBN top.

Lay it to rest already

No Duck fan request, no Beaver fan request, and hell, not even a request from some hippie would lead to the “firing” of anyone here.

No one is going to be let go of their duties just because of a request.

If CV3000 was let go it was because of his own doings and he must have been doing something that is not allowed with SBN. End of story.

It’s very juvenile to even assume he was let go just because someone (ANYONE) “requested” it.

Give me a break and let it go already.

cv3000

im not sure if its real or not, but if it is true its a good thing for beavers. He did not represent your fanbase well, he was an idiot. He may or may not have made things up but i wouldnt doubt it. He had no journalistic integrity and was beyond a homer. Id like to think that corvallis could product a better representative for yourselves

by duckfan on Aug 25, 2008 3:44 PM PDT   0 recs

FYI

…blogging for this site is not a paid position and it is definitely not required to have any “journalistic integrity” [these fansites are created by “homers” for “homers” In that perspective with all “facts” considered, he represents the very best of Beaver Nation for Beaver Nation!!!

BRING HIM BACK…BRING HIM BACK…BRING HIM BACK!!!

GO BEAVS!!!

by HAAK72 on Aug 25, 2008 4:25 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I disagree...

Yes. It is a site for homers, by homers – but SBNation blogs are also some of the highest quality blogs, and are often being quoted, and scrutinize by the media, as well as other blogs. You can run an entertaining blog (EDSBS), and still have solid writing/research.

Some of the most respected blogs have more journalistic integrity than many writers for ESPN and SI (SMQ is one – which was noticed by Yahoo! apparently).

Go Duckies!

So you'd like to brag about how he represented you guys, in all seriousness?

Yeah, and Leona Helmsley represents Manhattan well too.

by butthol on Aug 25, 2008 8:26 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

in this context...

…I am specifically referring to BtD and Beaver Nation!!!

GO BEAVS!!!

by HAAK72 on Aug 25, 2008 7:36 PM PDT   0 recs

let me get this straight...

…you are comparing CV3000 to a convicted felon that made billions in the hotel industry and in real estate [she failed to pay her taxes because, as she said, “We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes …”?!?!?! Interesting.

As CV3000 once said, “I consider myself to have two personalities when I write. One that’s a huge Beaver fan who knows more than anyone probably should. And the other is simply a parody of every single "elite,” starter jacket wearing, bragging about being on gameday, full of excuses duck fan. If you don’t like what I’m writing, then I’m writing about you."

That pretty much sums it up…so I am bragging, as you will find with most of us in Beaver Nation, that CV3000 represents what is at our very core…LOVE FOR THE BEAVERS AND ALL THINGS ORANGE AND BLACK!!!

GO BEAVS!!!
