I actually didn't get an invite :~( but stumbled across the board. When I saw all the old names here from the board that will not be mentioned I almost started crying with joy :lol: It really did feel like I was coming home and getting the best insights and discussion about the greatest team on earth! I kind of feel like the little brother who keeps wanting to tag along and the older ones keep trying to hide from me.

Seriously guys I have missed all the great discussions and insights each of you bring.

That's what I had to do to get my free tickets to David Letterman. I called their number and the guy asked me "What's the name of the owner of Hello Deli?"

"Rupert!" I answered.

A great day. Uma Thurman and Rachel Ray were the guests.

I haven't posted on other sites, but I am hoping this will be a fun, informative site. I'm really tired of the BYU bashing. If I want to read that stuff, I'll go to a Utah site. Here's hoping.

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"relax," said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

welcome to your next addiction. ;)

Someone who knows them needs to send a personal invite to Jared Cowley and Aaron King. There are a number of old-time posters that have faded out that I think would appreciate this site. I invited those that I know through FB, but I think some of the disenchanted need a personal invite from someone they trust before they stick their necks out again.

Kiwi?

Thanks for the invite Mars. I don't post a lot, but I do read others' posts nearly every day.

Reading posts on the other site I frequented was more and more like walking down the main street of my home town and not recognizing anybody.

Its good to see the names of trusted posters here.

I wholeheartedly apologize for tainting this board with the message below, but I found it so amusing I just couldn't help myself. I clipped it from the forum that shall not be named.

He is either oblivious, or he actually has some sense of humor. Either way it's pretty funny.

What is the deal? This is getting out-of-hand. That's it, I am bouncing over to Cougar Corner.

I saw the same thing and posted it on another thread. I believe he's got a great sense of humor. (Unfortunately for him it doesn’t surface nearly enough)

As an aside, I responded to that post in that thread, and I believe it will be my last post over there.

As others have said before, I only have time for one message board. I tried signing up for other cougar boards over the summer when i was fed up with Cougarblue, but I was too unfamiliar with all of the other posters, and just stuck with what I was comfortable with.

I had signed up for the prediction game here a long time ago, and when I saw that the forums were up and running, I started the move over to here. I have now moved here fulltime, and that other site is no longer in my "favorites" pull down menu.
