I really hate to say it, but most topics end up being about Athens or Vinton County...lol

Maybe start a Topic where people can be brave and Introduce themselves...I think it be a little more of a friendly place if people weren't hiding behind user names...But then again, 90% of the conversations are bickering back and forth.

Anyone can know my name anytime they want. I won't say anything on here I wouldn't say in person. I didn't not stir the pot. And I would be very easy to recognize at a ball game. I'm usually dressed as a mailman!!

Funny thing is, there is a Meigs person on here that swears we are a football school...Meigs has had more success in Baseball then anything...Now go back to late 80's, we were pretty good in all sports :)

I will reveal my Identity if thebarlowbandit, Michigan, colsoh and raider6309 reveal theirs-Although my "crystal ball" tells me that Michigan and colsoh are the same person-Just a feeling-since Michigan tried to say the same thing about me on the thread about Athens @ New Lex...sorry I "got off topic" there

Some of the later 80's was his group. Too many good athletes to name during that time, Earlier years were good with Chancey, Wise, Robinson, Powell...just many

Later 80's Bartrum, Bissell, Powell, Welchs, McElroy, Howards, Eason and many more.

So, An EPIPHANY Occured to me the more I thought of this Thread that I masterminded. Let's create a thread like this one-or it could even be this One-where "men" and/or "women" can go to "Settle" their differences or "bicker and banter" a Little instead of Clogging up a Thread and getting "off topic". Moderators of SEOPREPS take Note here. I think I am on to something here. If you are on a Thread
And it starts to get "HEATED"-Just say-"hey why don't we take this to the "getting off topic" Thread-Much the way someone says Let's Take This Outside-Or In the Old West they met each other in the Middle of Town with Hands on their Hips Ready to Draw. I think this is Brilliant. If you Moderators decide to take my Advice-I would Suggest you put a Warning Lable-The Label would Read-"If you have a Thin Skin do not open this Thread"....I would bet a House that the Thread would have more Views than SEOPREPS has Ever experienced
