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. 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. Pure genius. Can I get a copy of that test?

Ok, none of the cheerleaders looked anything like that when I was there.

Here's an old bostonmedia.blogspot bio of Felger, who still works as the Patriots beat writer and now hosts an afternoon drive show on ESPN Radio: Here's a pic of his wife: images.viacomlocalnetworks.com/images_1696713689/xlThe general consensus is that he married up (he even agrees).

Some good tidbits from those bios:
thebin - "I expect and hope that Coach Esherick will be our man for many years..."
hoyaparanoia - "His turn-ons include full-court pressure, purple velvet, and anything with sprinkles. If you're a pass-first point guard with a taste for some gritty, hand-in-the-face D, leave a message for Matt now."
megafan - " I love Ewing and of course "The Answer", and must admit I am a big fan of Victor Page and believe he will make it to the big game."

hey you old hoya boarders are all tools. fyi. This is true. And I have no idea where that hot cheerleader came from because I sure don't remember her. Also, I too hope Craig Esherick is our head coach for years to come.

I'm confident that one of the moderators would censor the nickname my group of friends gave her so I won't bother. Can you say hot tramp on this board? That was our nickname for Ms. Bacon. Mmmm... bacon.

Blast from the past. Been a few years since I asked but what happened to Laserman?

I don't remember exactly when I first joined...it was a long time ago and on a different ID.
I do recall when the board achieved 1,000,000 visits....we now have 11.6M.
Anyone remember when that happened?

Anyone remember when that happened? I think there was a board before the last one. Can anyone refresh when the first board was created?

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? 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. 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.htmI was blissfully unaware of my demise as a poster.
