. . . to acknowledge what I have meant for this board and the positive impact I have had on the lives of so many of you.
During my first couple of years here, I would get requests from the former board owner to stop my comments about Christianity, as it was making other posters upset. What were those comments, you may ask? Things like "The Bible is a fairy tale" and "Jesus was a real man but was falsely turned into a comic book superhero."
Can you imagine this board now if comments so benign as those resulted in people complaining to the board owner and getting requests to stop saying those things? Back then, before you could post on this board, you had to submit a selfie showing that you were in a suit and wearing a bowtie. I solely destroyed that pathetic board and evolved it into what it is today. For many years, before some of you deplorables ruined much of it, this board was the best sports board in the land. And I was the biggest reason of why the board changed for the better.
Has there ever been a better gameshow host than me? Games like "WVU football coach's wife or crackhead stripper," "WVU fan or homeless person," and "WVU cheerleader or ugly porn star" ricocheted throughout the college sports landscape. Had Pat McAfee been around then, he would have been begging to hire me. I recall when a new coach came onto a staff I was a part of, his first words when introduced to me were "yeah, you're the guy who had those pictures of the coach's wives and strippers comparison, right"? Half that staff despises you and the other half wants to party with you."
The number of selfies from other board members who would meet me in person, the number of invites to sleep at the houses of other board members, etc. are too much to keep track of. I was The Beatles/Michael Jackson/Backstreet Boys of this board, and many of you were the 16 year old girls with hormones racing towards me.
The 1-on-1 takedowns I have had with so many, much in part thanks for the black SUVs that pull up and drop off information to me, are legendary.
In closing, I'd like to open this thread for you all to share a few memories of me, express your extreme admiration and appreciation of me, and tell everybody else why you feel I am the most important person in your life. I will be sitting here in this $2500+/night room at the Ritz Paris looking forward to all of your thoughts about me.
