A brief goodbye

Yes. This happens. To Mods AND to regular boardmembers. With far too much frequency.

Lest there be ANY doubt, the Mods and Admins now consider every boardmember "warned". In recent days, a number of boardmembers have been placed in 14 day quarantine (banned for 2 weeks for either talking politics or insulting other boardmembers). The Mods/Admins have zero tolerance. This is an effort to get this Board (which I believe is a GREAT board btw) back to the vision BobZag had .... when he created "BobZag's Living Room" ... where all Zag fans can have reasonable discourse and talk about our beloved Zags.

I am very hopeful that we CAN get back to being civil with one another and this board gets past this stage. I don't like the alternative.

Here's hoping there will be actual college hoops to discuss in the "not too distant" future.

In the meantime, the Mods and Admins of this Board hope that all remains well with our Boardmembers, their families and friends. GoZags aka Ken Devones. GU '77

Thanks for stepping up, KD. El Voce and the Beezer would be proud.

If I recall correctly Uncle Sam was paying you and you would periodically hear (and or generate) very loud noises back when you we’re in Reborn’s neck of the woods.

I'm VERY happy to hear this. I hope the board turns around.

Let me take this opportunity to thank not just LIZF for his service but all the mods past and present for what seems to have become a thankless task. GoZags said it best and I won't try to repeat it, but I think we could all do with a few more thank-you's here (and elsewhere).

I bailed about mid June. Figured I'd give it about a month and check back. Wow. Must have severely deteriorated in the last thirty days.

I would just like to take the opportunity to thank GoZags and Reno for the respect they gave me in allowing the space to express my opinions about basketball and that which shall not be named. It was very clear that their thoughts didn't match mine very often, but they were more than gracious about it on the public side of this board as well as the PM side.

Thank You, men.

[Zags11]

I got banned and I'm not even political. Now i know to not explain my point. Thx! Go zags.

[GrizZAG]

LIZF is a gentleman. While we didn’t always agree you eloquently expressed solid rebuttals. I do know how gracious and generous you have been helping remote fans stream games. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling appreciation for those times.
You were always the true gentleman in our room and certainly hope to see you here often. Thank you for your steady hand my friend.

I don't come here often anymore - thus my very late response to the original post - but I want to thank LIZF for many years of interesting information, comments and service as a moderator. GU basketball has changed greatly since I enrolled as a freshman at GU in 1971 and I suspect that the nature and tone of this board have changed in part because GU basketball has become such a high profile / high energy / high stakes program. I first encountered GU basketball not because I loved the sport, but because my wife and I were both freshmen at GU and we each had roommates in the Catherine-Monica dorm and we wanted a quiet place to be alone together away from our roommates and also be away from the watchful eyes of Mrs. Hutton, the CM "dorm mother". In the fall and winter of 1971 you could flash your student ID and walk into any GU basketball game and sit in the upper bleachers at Kennedy Pavilion and not have anybody else within 50 feet of you during the entire game. Little '75 attended GU from 2000 - 2004 and by the time she was a junior at GU the routine of students camping outside the arena to get tickets had already started.

Be Well, Be Safe, God Bless, and of course ...

Go Bulldogs!
