I do not know which poster specifically said he was killed by a bear, or failed to pay child support or had the swine flu. Although, Hulkacaniac was pretty relentless.
DBC gained notoriety by 1st and foremost, predicting wins in the face of the Canes looking terrible prior to a tough opponent. This became known as the DBC curse, which would guarantee a loss as much as a Lee Corso win prediction would yield.
In response to DBC's outrageous claims, people would pile on accusations and DBC would ALWAYS assume people believed the accusations, no matter how absurd. Oddly enough, when someone would tell him that the accusations were just to get a rise out him and were not truly believed, DBC did NOT believe the truth and would double down on defending that he was not dead and had no children.
