It seems the old board has been coming up a lot recently - Frank Black's methodist-hating post, jc's revival, someone grabbing Dose's post...it got me curious.
How many members were there on the sports only board? How many did we lose coming over and how many completely new people are there (assuming most people kept the same name)?
Was there a previous incarnation before sports only?
I have to admit that while the new board seems to have more traffic, it's a bummer not having a lot of the old folks around, victims of all the Esherick Wars.
Dose, Provvy, Elvado, Van, TC (every once in a while he's here, right?) plus those that jumped to the rivals site.
Although I do have to say I don't miss the Ron-thebin cultural wars.

Yes, there was a board before sportsonly. Anyone remember "Laserman" and "Hoya"?

Who was the guy who got kicked off (thus necessatating passwords) who was a flamer and kept telling people to 'shoot their free throws!" Old school, man.

Although I do have to say I don't miss the Ron-thebin cultural wars. Yeah, those were unavoidable too, since there was only the one board, no Blue and Gray Board, etc. I actually enjoyed some of those Editeding contests, but every now and then it was a little disappointing to have to scroll past ron's 80 posts in an hour to find the Hoya basketball. Also, some people changed their handles after some time away from posting, moving cities, and finally switching to the new board (like me). Who knows, maybe TC and dose are amongst us? |

Does really hated Coach Esherick. His crappy job sounds like it keeps him from checking the board. Maybe the Duke game will bring him back. |

Although I do have to say I don't miss the Ron-thebin cultural wars. 1. SportsOnly succeeded the College Sports Online board which ran from 1996 to 1998. The earliest posters included Bill Orange, Laserman, B-Sure, Omega, TC, Matt, and Sir Saxa. 2. At its peak SportsOnly had about 500 members. 3. Names like Dose, ProvHoya, Elvado, Van, etc. largely dropped off after the new boards were created in the spring of 04; not sure why. (They didn't migrate to Rivals either.) There are other names frrom the distant past which can be reviewed in the links below (these were the major posters in the SportsOnly days): www.hoyasaxa.com/sports/frequent.htmwww.hoyasaxa.com/sports/frequent2.htmwww.hoyasaxa.com/sports/frequent3.htmwww.hoyasaxa.com/sports/frequent4.htm |

Ahhh, the good ol' days on SportsOnly. What a young, motley crew we all were. Those were the days...
"Boy, the way Nat Burton played...
'Media Sluts' in bubble wrap on parade...
Cheers that 'Tiffany Towers' made...
Those were the days!
Last days of an All-Time Great...
Willie Taylor never pulled his weight...
Gee, that Daymond Jackson's great...
Those were the days!
And you knew where you were then...
Eating in New South with Demian Bol-den...
Mister, we could use a man like Trez Kilpatrick again...
People seemed to be content...
Who cared what MCI charged for rent...
Brooks Berry belonged in a circus tent...
Those were the days!
Take a little Saturday spin...
Go to watch the Hoyas win...
Come home and log on for fights between Ron and thebin...
We could have used Shernard Long...
Brunner's sword was mighty long...
I just don't know what went wrong...
Those were the days!!!"

And who would've thunk Frank Black to be an ex-BC Eagle fan?!? |

"I'm guessing you meant (former GU and current Redskin cheerleader Tiffany Bacon, although Tiffany Towers would probably have gotten a healthy reaction as well. Personally, I would put the Methodist hate post up with van's sign-off in blazing glory and MCI's treatise on Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje's footwork in my Hoyatalk Hall of Fame. |

Towers was her nickname, friend. |

I'm confident that one of the moderators would censor the nickname my group of friends gave her so I won't bother.

Those were the days!!!"This was great, Buffalo. And I really, really need to change my bio. Seven and a half years old now, yikes. My wife and I watched the HBO thing on the Thompsons last night and she started laughing at me when they said something about Georgetown being out of the limelight. She said, "You've been talking about this stupid team since the second we met." Which is almost literally true. I met her on the metro platform in the spring of 2002, I recognized her from church and thought she was megahot so what the hey right? I walked right up to her and told her I knew her from St. Charles and what's her name blah de blah. She tells me she had gone to Rutgers and I instantly launch into how when the Hoyas blew a 20 point lead at the RAC two months earlier I fired a full can of soda against the wall in my apartment and the stain was still there. I think I must have said it disarmingly enough because she went out with me and then MARRIED me. AT GEORGETOWN. With Father McFadden presiding. She's lucky that I didn't ask Pascal Fleury, Horace Broadnax and Craig "Big Sky" Shelton to be my groomsmen. Dang, I should have done that. That would have been much cooler. Anyway, now you know the rest of the story. |

Anyway, now you know the rest of the story. Frank - if she thinks you are bad, there is a writer for the Boston Herald, Mike Felger, who grew up in Milwaukee but went to college at BU. He married a newsbabe at Channel 4 here and made her pass the 20 question Green Bay Packers Test (not open book) in order to qualify to marry him. After seeing her, it is clear he is far far far more team-obsessed than even you. |

I don't remember my old moniker but I do remember checking the old regan board from my 486k computer over dial up connections back in 1986. Used to take about 1 minute to reload the page each time. Made for rather laborious discussions.
