was 1010 posts ago...this will be # 6011. I missed 5000 and thought...okay..I'll go for 5500...I missed that one, so I said "okay...6000" Well...I missed that one too. SO...for my 6011th post I would like to reflect on my time on the DL. I found this site in 2004 trying to find some info on Ingleside's football team. I had just moved back to South Texas from Kuwait and was interested in finding out what all I had missed, etc. I first thought that it was a site for Sinton HS fooball and was welcomed **cough** warmly by many Sinton fans. I soon after found that BDR a close personal friend of mine was a member and that was it for me...I canceled my account and....okay..I'm lying. I'm still here. I want to say I had signed up a year or two previous but was unable to remember my login info or screen name...but I can't recall for sure. The DL has been a great source of HS football knowledge and many of the people here have been very helpful in painting the overall HS football landscape so that I could put a picture together in my mind of who's who in the state. I've made a few friends over the last few years (and probably a few enemies as well, LOL.) All in all, I consider the DL my second home and don't know how I'd function w/out this outlet. I wish I could meet more of you guys, but it usually never pans out that way. I met Boosty Hondo last year at the Ingleside/Pleasanton game. He, Rita, Russ, myself etc. met at halftime. I had met several of the Sinton posters a few years previous at the Ingleside/Sinton game in Ingleside. APPantherFan is an old friend of the family and when I was in HS I worked summers for her husband in Aransas Pass. hey Sherri, did he ever tell you about when I had iodine poisoning to my hands and they swelled up and turned pink and he sent me home? LOL.
In my few years on the DL...I have taken it w/ me to Arizona and it kept me up to date on Texas HS football...it has seen me become a husband and soon to be a father. I hope the DL is still around and goin strong when I become a grandpa as well. Anyway...here's to my years on the DL..and the ones to come! CHEERS!
PS...A word of advice to a select few...install this...your time around here will last alot longer:
