I admit it, I'm getting old and forgetful..... I had a conversation a while back with a few other posters about the use of only initials in all the posts..When and where did this all start? I am going to start using names in any of my posts, first or last or nickname if there is one..It won't take much longer to key in Faw rather than MF, or Austin and not AB...I think it will make posts and threads easier to follow, especially for use retirees! Where the initials used back when Crossports first came on line to prevent outsiders lurking around not to know what was being talked about? The spy game!!!
I've come in from the cold Crossports...

Very eager to see how BN uses CN in his offense. Will he be a perimeter guy? Methinks yes, based on how big guys were used in the Marquette offense.

I demand for any non-hockey related thread posters use Bucknell and BostonU and leave BU for hockey.

But in Central PA and on the Patriot League site, BU was always Bucknell. And in the Southern Tier of New York, BU is used constantly for Binghamton. And in Texas, it is Baylor. |

True, and Holy Cross is in New England!!! (I have a green and white BU hat, my daughter got her Masters in Waco!) |

I like going with my own nicknames/shortened names sometimes. For me, Lowder is definitely going to be Druzi, Ryan Wade probably RWade and Joe Pridgen Joe P.

Hopefully one will become known as “the scoring machine” or “mr automatic” or “super shooter”......

Wait a minute. Maybe I've been on this site too long. I thought that AB was Andrew Beinert  |
