It will never be restored to its glory. But here's a snapshot of it for all those that pine for it.

I don't think I ever paid much attention to that thread. For whatever reason it didn't interest me. I was more interested in ripping on Sid.

I was home just before returning to Memphis for Dental School Graduation. In Father-son togetherness,
I was watching whatever college game was on national TV, but listening to UF-Houston on radio. So I knew
what was going on. Still it gave me great pride when that national TV announcer burst forth with : "What in
the world is going on in Houston." We were past 50 in the score and Houston was highly regarded while UF
was a bunch o' no-name sophs. Great team then.

Lagoon, what is there to dislike about my post ? I'm baffled.

Exactly. It was fun but I'm sure glad that azzhat is gone.

Muncie-Nole was prominent in the Alvarez thread. For example, was strong in authenticating the poster Alvarez as the real, genuine Carlos Alvarez. Both of them were one-of-a-kind people. (In different ways, of course.)

I was at the game. Selling sucker bait. I told my buddy we would get rich as all the Texas oil millionaires were coming. The damn score board was like a pin ball machine that day.

GatorJ is now my favorite poster. I almost forgot about Carlos showing up. He answered a few of my questions in there (I was gatorpe). The man was a legend. Aaron or Romney or Ox, IF YOU HAVE any sense you will read what a gator legend had to say about some real gator history. He did point out how Urban reached out to former players and was a great coach. I wonder if he ever wrote a book. I will have to search. Thanks GatorJ. Carlos was the real deal.

Could we find the Muncie Nole tribute thread?

Alex.

Best post ever. He was my favorite player. The "Cuban Comet" I at first wondered if it was him or a prank. I was hoping he would keep on posting. I really hope he writes a book.
I was a split end in High School and choose his number to wear.
