Just an old codger from SunsBackcourt @ Rivals

[SunsCat]

Hey folks!

Chap' came over to phxsuns.net & fetched me. He says a few of you requested my presence over here (hopefully not in "Odd Couple" style. ).

What's happening?

 

[Chaplin]

We go a long way back--what was it--1999? We used to own those ESPN boards before they became Troll-Central.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Yeah, I've always wondered where you went off to...good to have you back.

Mike

You know it, Chap'. We teamed up over at ESPN during the Lockout Season in early 1999. You, me & old AuntieGrits were a real boon to that place back then.

The crowning achievement to bring the entire list of boards over there together, for a little while? The now legendary "Team-A-Days" discussions.

It was that old ESPN crew from 1999, along with Mike, that helped nurture SunsBackcourt @ Rivals.com in its infancy.

Not a bad item to put to the ol' resume, eh?

 

[SunsCat]

Yeah Mike.

After my "Majerle" outburst at AzProSports.com a while back, I was pretty ashamed & rather afraid to come back.

No worries - I think I've mellowed a bit since then.

Wow, AuntieGrits, haven't heard that name in a long time.

Yeah, those Team-A-Days were great, we actually have done that here the last 2 years (last year was mainly done by elindholm), and they have been pretty successful. Don't know if we're going to do it this year.

The great thing about this board is that we have people from all over the world here--people in Hungary, Brazil, all over. We disagree A LOT, but we usually make up shortly after our arguments.

It's a great community, even if it IS dominated by Cardinals stuff...

Good to see ya round SunsCat.
I first started following the Suns Message boards back to the 99 lockout season also and you guys always had great messages to read. Followed everyone from espn, to rivals to azprosports to here. Granted on those other sites I went by a different nick, but what that nick is is classified
Better to start out fresh and its good to know people have stuck around this long.

 

[SunsCat]

Right on, Tank.

Did you go by a different name back then? I don't really recognize your present user name.

Yes I did. Like I said when everyone moved over to this board, I decided to start over. I've pretty much been a lurker the whole time, but I would pop up here and there on each of the boards since the 99 offseason. I was one of the guys back then that was thinkin we would have ended up with Pippen

As I get older, my short-term memory fails me more and more. Recently, I was trying to remember the sequence of Suns boards I've enjoyed reading and posting to.

Yup, Suns Backcourt, then azprosports, before ASFN.

Thanks, guys!

Same here except add AZCentral to the beginning. I was trying to remember the name of SunsBackcourt recently. All I could remember was that it was the old Rivals site.

 

[cheng]

Yep, I started on ESPN in 97. I remember Mike used to link his site on ESPN.

Suns BackCount, Rivals, Azprosports then ASFN.
