The real thanks go to Alex Miljan our Croation Bear (sounds kinda fierce doesn't it).  I mean like compared to a Jamaican Bear who'd be all laid back and shit and stoned a lot.   Can't win many games that way.

Seriously though this was Alex's idea and Ric and I were all for it and pledged our support.  But the real thanks and gratitude goes out to the members themselves because without you guys we wouldn't have much of a fan forum so many thanks to all of you for coming on board and contributing. Really.  This is turning out even better than expected and I promise we'll keep it this way.

If you guys hadn't shown up it would have been one post a day with Ric and I bickering over Cutler and poor Alex trying to referee. 

So thanks to all of you for saving us from that. LOL

Maybe we should all quit posting, sit back and watch....

...Popcorn eating smilie needed here...

Nah, I'd prefer to watch too.  I'm gonna make Houston do it.  Two Texan's goin' at it.  Now who do you imagine will ever win that debate?

Now move over and stop hogging all the popcorn.

  I can take a bit of pretty much any music genre. I was dead against country music at 1 time using the reason being the fact that I have native in me and the genre is based on lynching and raping the culture and native peoples. But as I got a bit older I started to listen more and not just judge it by the hats or boots they wear. I can dig some of it now.
  It really is all about opening up the mind and just listen to the words , feel the groove the bassline fronts, Allowing the beat to take ya away..Na i mean boi? I can appreciate all forms but I am a little bit less tolerable to newer forms of rap. I loved the older  rap stuff from mid to late 80's but the form has gone a bit weird. The new netflix show called the Get Down showcases how the rap scene took form from scratching old funk, soul, and even disco music to form a background for them to rap over. I know there is a stigma of Rap and Hip-Hop that they are devoid of music talents but again if only people opened the mind and understand that there are countless records, genres that then the younger generation would listen to just to find a unique sound or beat to turn it into something else entirely different. In fact I have my younger daughter listening to Isley Brothers, James Brown, Parliment just so she can understand where some of the more modern music is coming from. And you know what? she is now listening to some of this music on her own. She Loves Diana Ross and the Supremes, The Beatles, The Godfather of Soul, Temptations...list goes on and all because of a couple of simple samples. I also understand the arguement that musicians should and must be paid for their tireless work but I think back then, they truely didnt think that the rap scene would grow so big.
   Anyways not sure why I went off there but it felt good to get it of my chest, I guess it is because I am going to see 1 of these old school rap groups tonight and so stoked. 
  Again awesome boards and sorry for my quasi-rant/troll bit and love you all ?

One thing that I would say that we should consider at this point. I know that some of our new members are still on the old board, but I am assuming that some are like me and don;t really feel a need to go back there.

As more and more of the better members cut their losses and leave not to ever log back on again, we need to try to be sure that we contact as many as possible quickly because the fewer of the original members are there, the more difficult it will be for the ones still there. More and more will ultimately just cut bait and it may be a long time (or never) before they log back in so they may not see any PMs inviting them to this board.

I know some good members don't want to leave. I personally invited Little Bear here and I know Alex did also. So there are some that we are not going to get and that's fine, but the ones we want, we should try and get while they are still logging and and reading their PMs.

you think!? noooo way

Thanks to the team who put this together. Very grateful to have a place to truly talk football.
