These autobiographies are a great read, funny at times, and go beyond the "profile" window.

Hope there's a future Hall of Fame where these can be set aside for future reference.

Some other boards have a Thread Archive forum with sub-forums for All-Star Threads and Dead Threads... it could happen here.

[gozagswoohoo]

Location: St. Clair, MO

GU Connection: None...but that doesn't mean I'm not a zag!

Games in K2: None in K2...

Games in K1: Do you HAVE to rub it in??

On the road: Heck yes...at Tulsa, at Mizzou, at Memphis, at NYC (Duke at MSG)

Board History: Eh...member of the old board for like 2 and a half years or so. Started my board postage career being extremely annoying, immature, and a huge pest with nothing real to add to the board. wait a second...uh oh

[dawgncarolina]

Location: Suburban Memphis

GU Connection: Watched Santangelo, Frahm and Calvary take highly ranked Kansas to the wire and decided I liked that team. Loved the Elite 8 run that year, and the S16 runs the following years. Was a big GU fan until Ammo, now have mixed emotions about GU.

Games in K2: Nada

Board History: Good question. Have been a semi regular since the week before Ammo dropped 44 (or whatever it was) on UW last season. May have visited sparingly before that, can't recall.

[former1dog]

Location: Salt Lake City, UT

GU Connection: '92 GU Grad. Ran XC and track while at GU and we were in the WCAC when I started.

Games in K2: 1 (thanks GoZags!!). Stanford gameday last year. Lots of games in K1, none more memorable than the Hank Gathers and Bo Kimble show way back when. Kinda what it must be like to be a student nowadays at other WCC schools.

Board History: Was somewhat of a lurker on some version of GU Boards as early as 2000 (I think ) and was posting on the WCC board on ESPN.com in the late 90's. Adding to everyone's general stress level, I started becoming more active in 2003 or so on the Scout board. Generally posting a little about the basketball team. Then, I found the OCC and it was all over !

[SintoZag]

Location: Washington, DC

GU Connection: 2002 The greatest class ever in my opinion. The second semester of my freshman year is when we went to the Elite 8!

Games in K2: All the 2006 WCC tourney in the 7th row across from the GU bench. I must thank USD for letting me purchase tickets from them.

Board History: I have been on here since 01-02 I can't remember. I can only hope that my spelling has gotten better in the last 5 or so years.

[billyberu]

Location: formerly from Spokane, now in Bonney Lake.

GU connection: none really...other than a cousin who attended and lived in the seminary in the mid-80's on his way to becoming a Jesuit priest. I guess it's a Catholic thing, my living in Spokane and being lucky enough to catch the wave we've all been riding.

Games in K2: Unfortunately none. However, I have watched them in Seattle 2X, Meadowlands, Spokane Arena (many times) and the old Kennel once (thanks, Bob!).

Board history: Been around since '01. I don't post often 'cause I enjoy reading the men's hoops board more.

[Ziggy]

Location- Methow Valley, Wa

GU Connection- Grew up in Milwaukee, Wi watching Marquette w/ Dean
Meminger and Al Mcguire pull off the " little catholic
school that could " thing. Was hooked; spent the next
25 yrs searching for another. Evergreen Grad 87

Games in K2- None....yet. The day will come! Closest I've come was
watching David P. and the Bears trash the local HS 111 to 33
(Yes, he can shoot !)

Board History- I have been lurking behind the lurkers for three years. When
the old board started to go down I said a prayer and made
a promise that I would register (and post) if only the board
would just come back. I hope to add to the discussion.

Games in K2: On my ever-growing "to do" list. My girlfriend attended the game yesterday and I'm completely jealous!

Board History: Scout board, lurked for about two years, not a prolific poster, but I'm becoming more vocal with age.

None in K2 (but last summer I walked through it).
A bunch in K1 (aka The Kennedy). Probably every game from '65 to '69, and then most of them from '75 to '78.
And recently I've made some of the games in the Bay Area (St. Mary's, USF, and Santa Clara).

Found the old site a few years ago. Lurked for a while until I recognized some old classmates: El Voce, Birddog, Jhoops, and Snikrah (I know that there are others, but I haven't identified them).

Board History: Like to read it for BB info. I don't lurk so much as check in to see something informative about my team. I enjoy the comics who post, too (Lothar, Bowser, etc). This is my 4th lifetime post.
