Uh...5,000th post...

Well, it took me a little over two years, but here I am, with way too many posts for my own good. Sometimes I wonder how I got to a point where I could have 5,000 posts on another team's message board without engaging in too many post-consuming flame wars. Something makes me keep coming back to a board where I read dozens of posts a day making fun of my university, its athletics, and its constituents such as myself. I have found myself donating to the site, becoming a voter in the TigerNet poll, and being given orange level membership after naming the Donor board. I think I know why. I can feel what Joseph Conrad calls "a distant kinship" in Heart of Darkness. Something inside me tells me that as a whole, we're similar where it counts. We all love our universities, will defend it to no end, and care about our fellow fan. I dream of a day when the two sides can come to this conclusion and post together in harmony...but I digress.
I would also like to personally apologize for some of the behavior we Gamecock fans displayed over this past weekend. I was embarrassed several times, especially when my fellow students littered the field with debris. I just stood there feeling helpless. In the end, all I can do is provide my own example and try to convince others that we're not all that bad. I know y'all probably weren't looking for an apology, but you got one.
OK, that's about enough, I think. Thanks to the many posters who have made me feel welcome...you are too many to name. One day I hope to meet some of you; it would be my utmost pleasure.
Lastly, and as always, Go Braves, and Go #####!
P.S. Here's a shameless plug for my All-time baseball player rankings series I'm doing every day in the Lounge. I'm counting down the top 50 hitters and pitchers. If you love baseball, check it out. It started today.

Glad you're around, bravo. Lots of good UCS fans out there, and you represent your university well. And we'll just continue to keep the rest of 'em in line. Heh.
5000 posts? Don't you have a wife to tend to or something?
