Comes around during football season.
That's true of a number of posters. They just aren't very active in the off-season.

Oh, I know @MNVCGUY is still around and more active on the basketball board right now.

I'm just saying he's still around but now just posts sh#t...what happened to him?

Post #62 in this thread :)

Spending more time on basketball board since it is finally a lot less depressing over there then it has been for the past few seasons.....but I still keep tabs on the football board and if I had to pick one or the other I would go football in a heartbeat.

It was a set-up for a cheap-shot follow up post.

For the record, @MNVCGUY is a high quality poster, but that's how you write comedy.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Now that you’ve been located, does this mean we have to cancel the plans for the MNVCGUY wake we’d made?

maybe....maybe not....is there a way I could get some gifts out of this?

Everybody should have the fortune of having a wake for them while they're still alive so they can hear all the nice things everyone has to say about them 🙂 (hopefully)

Yeah, I remember @MPLS_Gopher and something like @Gophers4Lyfe I think?

But I think it'd be kinda easy to recognize if he was still posting - there was just something about each post that kinda set it apart, like the tone, word choice, etc.

I think he's gone.

I was going to say, his writing style sticks out like a sore thumb. He can't hide it. He is literally a sick person.

I have seen it in person. It IS a very big ball of twine in a large glass case in the middle of town.

When I was a kid in Dassel we often drove by it in its original location, long before it was even "completed"--uncovered, then covered. It was in the Guinness Book of World Records even then. God, I'm old.

Hiway 12 on the way to the cities.

In Darwin, though, not Dassel.

And 7 was a much quicker route than 12. Way fewer towns. Cheap gas in Silver Lake.

Doctor Don died a few years back when he was living in Arizona. I knew him well when he taught school in New Richland.

Just curious. Any particular reason he called himself a doctor? Have a fancy degree?

Builtbadgers is another guy who was a prolific poster, but hasn't been here for more than a year and a half now. He said he was in his 70s, so maybe time got him, like it did a Dick Bennett offense.

Wait! What? I'm in my 70's. What are you saying?

I'm glad you got to see 2019 and hope for some more highs to come after the dark ages you went through!

Sorry to hear that. As I recall (and at my age recollection is often off-base), he ran the "predict the score" for a few seasons and he was a bit of a stickler when it came to how the entries had to be formatted. Always loved his insights.
 

I think SON is the announcer at Windom football games is SW Minnesota. There are a number of UMN alumni down that way. A lot of old farmers in Windom. Hopefully he is hanging in there. No flooding on the Des Moines River this spring.
 

Not promised but the average time we get on Gopherhole is 4000 weeks. Use them well....probabably only might use 3500 weeks with some ramp up time accounted for.
