I was a huge Mike Sadler fan. Your twitter wars with him were epic. When pinned Nebraska inside the 5 yard line and came off faux petting your cat, I lost it for a minute laughing. RIP Mike.

In some ways you keep Bo relevant and in the forefront of college football pop culture, for lack of a better term. And I bet eventually Bo will come to realize that. But being sensitive to him in the meantime isn’t a bad thing either.

Look forward to Mo of Mo’. (Mine is the one without the apostrophe and yeah it looks better. Ha!)

After watching that game, I think Bo P. 's consistent 9-games a season is growing into legend. And I think that benefits Faux. Faux is the satirical symbol of every failed Nebraska's coaching hire.

Definitely no apostrophe. MOFAUX feels appropriate.

Also want to say that I came across your account as a Mizzou fan who discovered you towards the end of both teams being part of the Big XII. I don’t think anyone on Twitter has a higher batting average of humor per tweet. Whether you are tweeting a lot of infrequently, they all hit so good. You’ve even commented on local Mizzou writers tweets that have absolutely killed me. And the $5 Bits Of Broken Chair trophy is, in my opinion, the best example I can site of “when the internet isn’t horrible, it’s absolutely glorious.” Thanks for all the humor and joy you’ve brought me over the years. Wherever you’re headed, I’m on board.

Your account is why I stay on Twitter. Well that and the chance Kate Beckinsale might slide into my DM’s.

Personally I'd go with Maux Faux but either way I'll be reading and following.

MSU alum here. You are one of the few if not the only reason(s) I do begrudgingly admit that Nebraska is part of our conference (after appropriate prodding). Keep on doing Gods work.

I advise you to drop the apostrophe but that's just me. Continue to listen to your wife is really my actual advice. I believe there's a mailbag response that is relevant to this situation that would basically point to "listen to wife". She did hit a homer with Mo' Faux apostrophe or no so you already have outside validation of her judgement here to go along with your own.

In all honesty, Faux Pelini has been the only thing to get me through the last several years of Nebraska football. Keep up the good work!

Appreciate the history and applaud the future potential here. FWIW, keep the apostrophe…it just fits. And of course the parallel play on the name/pronunciation is what we need.

I will die defending the Oxford comma, but I'm with you here on the apostrophe. Can we split the difference and do a "MoFaux?" It's got hashtag vibes, but is safely distinct from hashtags since it's readable at first glance.

As and Iowa fan, I've loved your parody from the beginning. I literally LOL'd while reading this. You've still got it, never lost it. Glad you bring us all a little joy.

Thank you for the laughs. I still miss Bo and wish he were never fired. Foul language aside, his players loved and trusted him for good reason. Ok, I’m done being sentimental. Keep me laughing with Mo’Faux, Hello to Mrs. Mo’ Faux. Glad you wisely seek her counsel! Smart man!
