Certainly I can remember you well, for years... but my memory isn't good enough to go back to 94 with any degree of certainty.
Ya know, good word mexram... "upbeat". I think that was the driving force behind those who created this board and tried to maintain that criteria on this board over the years. It wasn't so much the 'smack talk' with other teams... (yes, I remember those Niner fans, and others, battles online as well
)... but rather, the ability to talk good football, with civility, and true love of our team, without dealing with the nonsense that was predominant on the Internet at that time and if fact is still predominant today.
Hey... if you don't mind... I want to give a 'shout out' to a user on this board that you know.. hell, everyone knows him. zn. zn and I have been round and round so many times not even IBM could tabulate the total... but even so, we have agreed more often than not.... but my 'shout out' is for this reason:
I'll never forget that zn would be in a knock down drag out with another "RAM" fan on the board and then a 'smack talk fan from another team' would post something to the guy zn was having it out with and faster than a speeding bullet zn had our fellow Ram fan's back. And MAN was he good at it. (if you ever get a chance get next to stlramz at a live game and give him a listen... he's suburb at it as well
). He sliced through Niner smack talkers like a knife thru butter. Sometimes it would aggravate the living hell out of me because I might be the one, or at least reading, the 'in-house' debate and thinking zn had lost his friggin' mind and then he'd take up the Herd Flag against a foe and I'd be "GO ZN, GET HIM".
Sorry, I'm old.. .I digress.
Just remembering the 'good ole' days'. Thanks mexram. - JamesJM
