The Official Missing Posters Thread

[EastCoastCat]

You’re all wrong.

‘97 has all BDW transportation. Used it to take his posse to the recent basketball games overseas.

[Merkin]

Thanks for the kind words! Back for some round ball discussion and some MAGA bashing.

[scumdevils86]

Welcome back to our most esteemed elder

[Merkin]

Welcome back to our most esteemed elder

Appreciate the good words. I think.

Eebs and Chicat returning helped a lot.

Being shouted down on the football board really affected how I feel about the posters here. Just wasn't the same old TOS.

Still can't get over the support for a rapist, but nothing I can do about it and not worth talking about it anymore.

Injury hopefully gives cover to make sure the era is over.

You're the bass player here, Merk. Rhythm section was off the whole time you were gone.

Glad you're back Merk.

I'm probably wrong, but I dont remember "shouting down" I do remember some unprovoked and unjustified attacks though.

The place is better with you in it.

Thanks guys.

I lost my head on the JDL thread, I was the one doing the insults and being nasty.

I was just really bothered by the whole situation, and made me a person I didn't want to be so took a break.

Just poorly handled by JDL, the UA AD and Fisch too.

Jmark has been gone since August. Longhorned is going on 2.5 years now after a blip of a return in December 2022. Too bad.

I’m here. I don’t have a ton of time as I used to.

I got a raise and promotion in September and am world building with my job.

Fitness eats about about 3 hours a day now in various capacities. I take long weekend hiking trips to places too remote for signal.

Ive hiked huge chunks of Northern Arizona and Southern California, including Grand Canyon, Kendrick Mountain Wilderness, Mingus Mountain, and Pacific Crest Trail.

Last 2 years I have hiked about 300 dedicated miles with another 2000 in fitness walking/light hikes.

I quit pretty much all social media except I have some Bluesky accounts.

Almost dying in 2023 changes a man.

But I’m doing well and hope to post more as we enter March.

[Alieberman]

Glad you are doing well JMark and taking care of yourself.

[JMarkJohns]

Yeah, I’m so busy I had to bow out of a second round of TedX coaching, which is something I brought to our city in 2022-23, and wrote the proposals for this last summer. But I don’t have the 10+ hours weekly to give, so I’ve resigned from the board and leadership.

For 2 years straight I was honored as a finalist for Philanthropic Leader/Philanthropist of the Year. Didn’t win, but I got some events in motion for 2026 that will make me competitive at the top.

This, plus promotion, plus I was a finalist for Teacher Of The Year where I adjunct (I declined, but still cool).

So this plus the hiking trips and I’m as busy as ever but with better life balance.

Good to see you back JMJ!

Thought for sure I'd see some posts from you when David Lynch passed as I knew you were a huge fan.

[JMarkJohns]

I retreated within and mostly used all the Facebook groups I joined revolving around Twin Peaks or Lynch as coping and catharsis.

Wasn’t joking about the therapy tribute donuts. I was glad my labs were done that prior Monday. Easily ate a dozen over that weekend.

[bison79]

I mean......do I count as a missing poster ? How long has it been?

I mean you can blame whatever is going on with the site for me returning. Got an email in my spam filter for this place after.....years LOL

[Chicat]

You sure as fuck do! Except now you’ve been found.

[UAEebs86]

Welcome back!

[bison79]

Thanks! so I guess some good to whatever is going on (I still don't know, seems like the site is working?) Maybe it's just a ploy by UADevil to recruit missing posters?!

I'm back just in time to watch the cats in March (I've never stopped) and throw back popcorn as the US implodes. I fled the country (willingly) in December 2023 to Queensland Australia, and I'm notcoming back for at least four more years LOL

Kidding, but I did move for work (well, not work, as it's work I can do anywhere in the world). But I wanted a change. so I moved 18 hours into the future from y'all!

Say hi to RichardCranium down in Oz. I'm jealous.

Hello Bison! I'm a relative newby here and have no knowledge of you, but if you had the prescience to move to Queensland, you are a fucking genius in my book!

[Chicat]

Besides having escaped to Oz, Bison is our resident Gallaudet University alum, disability warrior, and all around super interesting and nice guy. I’ve missed the shit out of him.

Happy to see you Bison! Ron breaking the boards worked!

[scumdevils86]

Dang blast from the past. Welcome back bison.

[Alieberman]

Welcome back Bison!!!

Love seeing more OG posters here!

[bison79]

I knew there was another poster in Oz! RIchardCranium.

Chi, flattering me!

Thanks y'all. It seems I left the country at exactly the right time. In my defence, I did vote and try to help you all stop this train wreck!

[RichardCranium]

Hi Bison.

I vaguely remember your handle from dreamtime.

I'm in Melbourne. C'mon down and get out of the Qld humididdy. Its only triple the Tucson humididdty down here.

Don't fall for it, Bison. He's a menace! A menace I tell you!

More Sydney-sider fake newsery.

Sydney claims to be the biggest city in Australia and that its always raining in Melbourne.

Neither is true. Sydney get TWICE the rainfall that Melbourne does, and Melbourne is bigger population than Sydney (I admit, they are very, very close at the moment and it depends on exactly which suburbs you include, but in general Melbourne is growing faster than Sydney).

The ONLY thing Sydney has going for it is the harbor. No question it is more beautiful than the Melbourne's bay. But boy oh boy does that harbor mess up transportation. No matter where you are, you can't get there from here.

The Sydney harbor is stunning and unique, but Melbourne has better food diversity.

Our 2nd most prolific poster Merkin hasn't posted in almost a month. He's averaged about 11 posts a day for the last 11 years.

[84Cat]

Yeah, I was wondering where he's been. Maybe he's in Japan visiting one of his kids

[JMarkJohns]

He liked my hiking pictures a few weeks back on Facebook.

[Chicat]

He was here Monday. Maybe he just ran out of stuff to say.

[EastCoastCat]

Doubtful.

Here’s something to tide you over - “we’ll, back in the days Lute and Tomey would…”

[Merkin]

Maybe he just ran out of stuff to say.

Pretty much, as I have been been here. I lurk on the MBB board daily as a guest really enjoy reading posts by Winger, JMJ, Choo and TucsonClip, among others. Premium stuff! I just got annoyed by the BDW self appointed cops jumping in whenever you criticize a player and I decided to stop commenting. Better off for everyone.

Bigger picture though is that I am really getting tired of NCAA sports turning into pro-leagues with no salary caps and unlimited transfers. Just losing interest as the rich will get richer. Shedeur Sanders might have been better off if he stayed in college. Thought I read Miami offered him $5M but it could have been speculation or just a poor joke. Doubt I am the only one who finds this trend disturbing. Not that players shouldn't get paid, they should, just put them in the same type of contracts that coaches have. If you want to leave before your contract is up, go ahead, but your buyout is X dollars. And why can't the NCAA have salary caps like pretty much all pro sports?

Speculation is that NCAA is going to let players have 5 years eligibility now too, and not count JC years anymore. Still only 200 minutes in a game. So no more developing freshmen, just keep pulling players out of the portal. Freshman can hang out in JC. No more walk-ons either, just 15 players max.

May not even watch a CFB game this season since I find football pretty boring generally. 17 minutes of action in 3.5 hours or whatever. Especially with a mid-major coach who hasn't proven anything.

Also avoiding the politics board, since every time I think it can't get worse here in the US it does. Never in my lifetime would I ever think it would be this bad. Just tired of reading about it and talking about it.

So not really missing, just shutting up, at least for now.

[UAEebs86]

Glad to hear you are alive and well Merk!

[dovecanyoncat]

Be well Merk. Know yourself and be yourself. The rest can wait.

[JMarkJohns]

We all need a rest sometimes. I’ve taken 3+ months off several times since 2020. I get it.

There will be some good basketball talk once the roster is finalized.

[Chicat]

Love you Merk. Don’t be a stranger.

[pc in NM]

Enjoy your lurkin', Merkin...

Be well Brother. Agree 1000% on all of this. Not renewing my football tickets so feel the same. Will renew basketball but its on life support
