Man...I miss Donovan

Postby billybud » Sun May 05, 2024 10:36 am

Liked to converse with my old board friend...

I check in from time to time...but the feel seems different now.

Where have all the posters gone. long time passing..

I miss him, too.

He always found a way to stimulate conversation. Whether by open forum, or private message.

I think the regulars here, who still interact, are in a flux. Not sure what to assume, other than what we all pretty much agree on.

Sometimes is harder to say what everyone else is already thinking, because you are saying anything to them they haven't consider for themselves.

Going back some years, it was easy to know when things would slow down. They did every off season. As the years went by, less people came back. Occasionally there would be a new name on he board. Though, they were the ones who spent the shortest amount of time before they disappeared.

Every now and again, I'll send a pm to board members from the past, just to see if any of them respond. They don't reply back quite as often as I'd wish for.

Good to see your name pop up.

Hope to see more of you in the up coming season. I'm going to effort myself to be more active than just the Weekly Predictions. Last year, I didn't watch as much football as I usually had. And when I did watch, I wasn't updating what my opinions were as frequently.

I intent to this year. So long as my interest doesn't become to jaded.

I miss him too. Glad to see you still hanging around. Hope you are doing good. I am just not a fan of the way the game is going. I find it harder to keep interested in the game.

I do miss him too. We had a great discussion over dinner, even though we didn't always agree on subjects discussed. He was a good man, and I'll never forget that evening that I met a total stranger on the other side of the country.

I hope you're doing well!
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
