Don't drive to Boise, you'll have gone too far.

I did a purge of things - massive downsize since selling my house. And a new phone.

I'm starting UCFresh for the 2nd season of UCFs Rise to Dominance.

Booking mine this week as well. Turns out that if I use my shiney new United Card, I get $250 off plane fare. Waiting for shiney new United card...

That settles it. I am turning the trip into a two week back road trip to parts I have never been. Was taking the Porsche but changing the car. This time you have to drive it.

Honors, have the coach set up a Zoom meeting so you can call in remotely to review game film with him.

Well, you've never known me to lie, b.s., go off the deep end, etc. If you don't believe it, that's fine. Just saying that I have no reason to lie, double-down or anything like that.

It was @OldDevilDawg's Wedding, and a bunch of Rivals posters showed up for it including @Hang_On_Sloopy08. fyi: @UCFhonors was dared to show up, and he did! Really shocked the lot of them. He rubbed some people the wrong way, but they all respected him for showing up.

FWIW, I was on Rivals from 2001-2018 with all of them. Posters met up regularly for a beer, a game, etc. If they made it all up, they really pulled the wool over my eyes!

Rubbed people did he? How so?

Crashing the wedding or just weird AF?


I thought for sure OP was female. Been sending dick pics for months

 

[richig07]

Do you think anyone actually believes the crap you type?

Hey, I mean, you can say what you want about OP. He's polarizing, I get it. But you and me both know... generally he's right on the money. Nobody could ever say he ain't a straight shooter. Guy tells it like it is... and typically he's on the right side of history.

Maybe @Toadman005 can weigh in on this...

If I see any of you fuckers within shouting distance of me you better run.

If you're within arms length you better duck.

Well, I gotta say that was one hell of an extended weekend. We had 13 posters show up, several with their wife/girlfriend, with folks from California, Idaho, Texas, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Ohio and Maryland. I was honored to be a part of this important day for @OldDevilDawg.

Besides ODD, I had met three other of posters in real life before and it was good to see them again. Others I have known both on and off the board, communicated via FB, phone and video conferencing for so long that meeting them in person was great, but seemed as if I had already known them for a long time. Others I met/interacted directly with for essentially the first time, which was great!

You’ve all heard the story and seen pics of “The Jump” so, I’ll tell you a little about after the bachelor party and leading up to the wedding day. I woke up and read a little of this thread (was hard to read too much because the web connection was very slow and spotty.) I saw that Honors said he was probably going home after nearly fighting with DST the night before. Kathy had to jump on a table and scream at both of them to knock it the **** off. But then I saw that they had made up, I’m glad that Honors stayed the whole weekend. By the afternoon, we started prepping for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. By “we” I mean everyone pitched in as necessary by helping to fetch something, move something up to the venue etc. A huge thanks to everyone that helped!! ODD butchered up some yard bird while RTider got the coals hot on the grill. I sat out with him in that hot, sweaty south Georgia heat to get that grill ready, but let me tell you – it was worth it!! That man can flat cook some chicken and pig!! That shit was good! Rehearsal went well, even though my stupid ass had to use the crutches, and we ended the night with no fights, which made me happy.

The bride and groom were sharing a room with Marla and I. ODD and Marla had the same specialty in the USMC, and they had some stories to swap, so when I retired for the evening they stayed up – all night – talking. I think by the time that the wedding started, ODD had been up over 40 hours. Golf on the wedding morning was fun. I just drove the cart due to the broken leg thing, but wish I could have played. I did hit one off the tee, and let me tell you, hitting one legged it awkward. Cav and ODD both had some good shots and once cacpslo took sloops advice he was dialed in. But sloop stole the show out there – it was an honor just watching him. I think the worst hole he had he was still on the green in two shots. The biggest problem he had was having patience waiting for the rest of the group. And then it rained, a lot. A lot.

Well, that’s enough for now. I may pop back in with a few more stories.

@nolejc – One hell of a guy! I’ve known him for years, and even though I’ve never met him, he’s exactly as I expected. Great kid with a good head on his shoulders and a bright future.

@DieSonneTeufeln – Was great to see this goofy ****er once again. Of all Rivals posters, I’ve hung out with him the most, but since he moved back down to Cali (we need MORE of this to happen) I don’t get to see him as much.

@Cavgator – I’m very glad this guy made it. Good music, good beer and great conversation. When I say conversation, it was more of a history lesson – dude knows his history and has a great talent in the way he communicates it.

@cacpslo – I’ve wondered about this guy’s screen name for years now, and I was really close on figuring it out. Was great to talk some mountain/west FCS ball with him. One golf note on this guy – nearly every shot went straight, and once he teed it up differently per sloop’s advice he started getting much better distance. I bet that will shave quite a few strokes.

@Bamaklingon – Another I’ve known for a while, felt like reuniting with an old friend. This guy and I could talk aquaponics and sustainable living for days on end – he’s kind of the southeastern version of me, but don’t hold that against him.

@Hang_On_Sloopy08 – You’ve all heard enough about his golf ability, let me tell you what a great guy he is. He always had a smile, always. What made the biggest impression on me was when I was in quite a bit of pain and pretty tired, and my room was being used for the bridesmaids to get ready, he and his girl put me up in their room and let me elevate and ice my leg and even took a quick nap. Great golfer, beautiful girlfriend – and they both have big hearts. Sloop, better lock her down, she’s a keeper bud!

@dooleys dogs – If you ever get a chance to meet up with this guy – do it! Another one I’ve known for years but met for the first time. He was polite in the mixed company of the wedding, but let me tell ya, this ol’ boy can cut loose like you wouldn’t believe when it’s just the boys. I’m glad we finally met face to face Mr. Dooley.

@Skyhawk48 – Great guy, awesome car and had some great stories. But what impressed me the most was his manners and the respect he demonstrated with the restraint he showed. If you aren’t aware, there is a little tension between a few posters in attendance. Skyhawk was polite and cordial when necessary. I had one rule coming in – everyone play nice – and I know Skyhawk went above and beyond to do this. “Is the wedding over yet?” he asked me once or twice – LOL. Thank you again my friend, and I hope to see you when you ride your Harley out west.

@RuffledFeathers – A little more quiet and reserved than I expected him to be, but he doesn’t miss a thing. While we were making fools of ourselves, he was observing – so if you want to know what REALLY happened at the wedding, ask him. I will say this though, he probably went through more to get to there that the rest of us. From falling/sliding down what he described is essentially a cliff, and then having to climb back out to having to change a tire in the middle of a rainstorm like I’ve never seen before – guy was a trooper. Thanks for coming!

@PSUTE – Another great reunion seeing this guy again. While he may look a little scary (haha, he’ll know what I mean) he’s got one of the biggest hearts I know of. I can’t say enough good things about this man and I’m so glad I got a chance to know his better half more. Her and Marla really hit it off as well.

@UCFhonors – Yall know that one friend who just likes to poke the bear? That’s Honors. I thought he was going to get his ass beat on Thursday night, and by the last night he was sleeping with raccoons. He definitely was, um, er, entertaining… Is that the right word? Maybe. But I’m glad he stuck around after that rough first night.

@RTider77 – This man can cook! And he’s got some great stories. But what I enjoyed most is his sense of humor. He can sure deliver some stingers, but he can take them just the same (and he has taken quite a few in this thread). Hey bud, that offer stands – if you find your way out here, that downstairs bedroom is yours for as long as you want it.

@OldDevilDawg – Not sure what else to say about this crayon eating leg humper. I love this man like a brother.

There are a handful of other posters who I know wanted to come, several had even made plans and had to back out at the last minute. I’m not trying to call anyone out, I mention this only to say two things…. One – you missed a hell of a good time. Two – it’s understandable. Life gives us all restraints that keep us from things, whether it’s money, time, other obligations, etc. But I do encourage yall, if you get the chance to meet up with any one of these people above or any other posters, do it. I really think that these get togethers like this help strengthen our little community here

Sooooo

This was a wedding where the only people attending were rivals posters?


Did the bride and groom meet off the Internet too? Seems ok.. a bit weird but hey it’s that kinda world we live in

 

[Nod4Eight]

Do you think anyone actually believes the crap you type?

I believe most of it. Honors is a good guy, he drove me to the hospital, an hour away, when the rest of us were too drunk to drive. Then he treated me to Taco Bell. He's always been nothing but gracious. When I met him in Orlando, he took me out to several of the local hangouts (not tourist traps). He likes to stir the pot, and I know he gets a kick out of folks like you who get their boxers all wadded up over him. I'd say I believe most of what comes out of his mouth. I DON'T believe about 26.21% of it.
