  • No. Been dealing with some pretty heavy family stuff. My uncle Bill (mentioned him a bunch in the football thread) is back in the hospital again. My cousin, Josh, Bill’s oldest son, killed himself ove

Pretty sad about Grendel... 58 damn. Apparently I worked for years w/his stepbrother, a well-known character at our office, and didn't know it 'til looking at the obit just now. 

Link to his posts that caused this??

Incessantly posted about how terrible Terry is and swore we’d get bounced first game in the Big 12 tourney. We win big 12 tourney, then he said we got lucky and would get bounced round one in March madness. Nope, round 2. Nope, now he was sorry about it all and found Jesus and he shut up. Then we lose yesterday and he starts shitposting about Terry again. 
 

TLDR, he’s a giant bitch.

Lol…I figured it was Cloakroom related.

Could be and probably wrong but I don't remember him the CR and I don't think Helo is in the CR much

Drunk and stupid so yes I'm probably wrong

Be on the lookout for new posters Loop 410 or Walzem Rd.

Odd part was he, and I know a couple of posters vouched for him said "my bad, I'm going through some shit, Rodney deserves the job" and he even defended Rodney in a couple of posts.

 

Like is it the losing or the substance abuse.  He needed to go

People have been trying to figure that out for decades.

Damn, Grendel bought it? My 20,000th post on Shaggy was “Shut the fuck up, Grendel.” Those were the days.

You sure that's Grendel?

In either case RIP sir...

Grendel taught school children.

No wonder education in the US is about 95th ranked in the world

That was the back end of the first week of Covid lockdown.

Anybody know why Texas Homer stopped posting?  Well, he only has 12 posts so I guess he never really started.  Good YT channel by him that I follow. 

  • 2 weeks later...

He left the board because of people beating a dead horse in the Ted Lasso thread.

What is @Onboard 2.0new name? He was posting daily 10-12x a day until end of April and abruptly stopped. I didn't see an Onboard3.0. Who's path did he get crossways with to go into the Victim Hideout and change name program?

What happened to HonkeyVape.  He just up and quit posting one day.

But seriously, there was a guy named ScoPro -- maybe as far back as Hornfans.  All I remember is the name, not much about the posting style.

lol, Animal Tobbaco is like herpes, he may be gone momentarily, but you just can’t get rid of him.

Isn’t ScoPro @Armybrat? I seem to remember that being his name on the CityData forum, unless I’m misremembering. I thought his son posted for a short while as sonofscopro or something similar on the Shag.

Could be very wrong.

You could be absolutely correct.

If she is your avatar, most certainly.

What happened to JohnnySack?  I have a legit, real life, grocery store question for him.

I have a suspicion that Frank Drebin is Sack’s new handle.

Edit: yeah, I’m pretty much certain. Sacks last post was 10/28, Drebin’s posting took off the same day. Details match on things both have posted. It’s him.

Ah yes, rings a bell.  I'll PM him.  

I guess I don't ever check out hornfans or orangebloods, I'm sure a lot of folks I used to post with just stayed at those places.  But I think back to discovering the 360/statesman or whatever it was in like '98/'99 while living in California.  It was a great way to stay connected to UT.  And some of those folks turned me onto LonghornFanZone around 2000.  Then like 5 other iterations of everything from hornfans to that one that was more like facebook (late 2000s).  But I forget sometimes that some of those folks I met online and IRL all the way back then (25 years ago), some of them were already 35-45+.  Just surreal to think those of us fresh outta UT back then are 45-50, and the older end of the original old-timers are like 70+ now.  Weird to think about, but here we are.

I am obviously very behind the times.  I'm sorry to read of his passing, he was a nice poster.

The fact that I found you assholes in the UGL in 1995 at the age of 20 and now I’m nearly 50 is shocking or appalling or maybe both. Fml.

Liar.  No way you would have ever found me in a library!

Yeah, if my math is correct, I've been a member about 23.5 years (half my life) on some sort if Longhorn message board.  And the other half not on a Longhorn message board website, with a few 6-mos hiatuses here and there over the years.  Never tempted to join myspace, twitter, facebook, instagram, reddit, snapchat, pinterest, or tiktok.  Have an old linkedin page for a previous employer and you surly bastards.  

But levity aside, it's weird to think about this mass of us adopting the original sites in late 90's/early 00's.  A vast majority of the posters/tailgate attendees/et. al. mainly between 25-35 at the time.  Meaning ~25+ years from now, there's gonna be hundreds of us dying every single year.  Kind of a bummer.  But been a run ride, hopefully we're not even halfway done yet. Also doing well at football would certainly help take the fucking sting off this shit.
