I’d like to thank all of you for contributing to this site and making it the best message board on the planet. We truly do have a wonderful community here and a great University to discuss. I've obviously spent a fair amount of time discussing numerous topics with you all and have enjoyed most of it. It's nice to be able to come together and celebrate and complain about a common passion.
A few of the posters are real life friends of mine. mvc champs and I go to STL together for the Valley Tourney. Clarensauce has introduced me to some new friends and quite a bit of music. He was also my boss at one stop. I've watched many a game with dregn and company and thoroughly enjoy his knowledge of sports. I've also gone to STL with him and his crew a couple of times. sdshox is another guy I've known. He was a boss of mine at the Y before getting an offer to go home. Spent some time with him in STL as well.
A couple of you I've met for ticket exchanges. Doc, ShockCity, ShockBand and the Moose. RDR has hooked me up with tix but I never met the man.
I know Rip and newshock through other avenues. Newshock from the YMCA and Rip from a few more unfortunate encounters. But I'm not sure if either one knows who I am or not.
I met andygump363 a couple summers ago at a pickup game. He was rather pleasant and seemed to have a fairly good grasp of things. Which just goes to prove that not all of us are complete freaks :D
I've officiated and gone to camps with shockerfanmas. Even though he doesn't see eye to eye with many of you, or me sometimes, he's a good guy who is passionate about the same things we are.
JaminShock and I have a mutual friend or two. But have never crossed paths officially. Even though I later found out that he and his wife sat right behind me one game.
I'd bet many of us have met and spent time talking to J&J Ryan. Although I wonder what name he posts under now that he's gone.....
I coached AndShock a few years back and think he's a wonderful kid. A bright and intelligent individual who’s a great asset to Shocker Nation.
Then I know of one lady who posts on here but I can’t figure out who the heck she is and she won’t tell me. I’ll figure it out one of these days…
Together, regardless of how many and who you know on here, we have come together to have a lot of fun and share a lot of thoughts and memories of Shocker Athletics.
I plan on enjoying the next 10,000 posts as much, if not more than, the first 10,000. And I look forward to a few of you joining me so I don’t look like such a freak. And hopefully I’ll run into a few of you at a pickup game or inside the Chuck or even in the Lou.
So, in reflecting back about all the time I've wast....spent here and thinking about all the great things we have ahead of us, I could only think of one thing that's fitting to end the 10,000th post on.
God bless you all!
