An Announcement from Nicksjuzunk:

For the past several weeks, I have been contemplating what I have given to the Recruiting Forum Pregame/Game Threads for all of these years. As I reflected, and I am no dummy, I know that my performance has declined in recent years. I've lost a step... maybe two... especially since I have moved from Thailand and have reintegrated into society. What was once born of passion and love had become more obligation and drudgery as I went from sifting through piles of statistics and analysis to more general keys to victory that felt more or less the same, week after week. I had to ask myself, "Have I given MY ALL, and there is nothing left to give?" Perhaps it was time to hang up my fingers and let the next generation of dream architects take up the task of offering up completely biased, unbiased game analysis each week.

Having given this much hard thought and after discussing this with my wife, I have decided that I will continue in my role as thread starter for football games this season. This was not an easy decision for me to come to. It is tough to accept decline and age and the inevitable slide into mediocrity as father time beats down upon me day after day. I am not the man that I once was, but I hope to still have something to offer to the forum. How can I, after so many years away from Knoxville, have returned, only to abandon our community in their time of need? My fear is that my performance may degrade too much over time that I can't see the writing on the wall and that Freak will disable my account out of disgust. The love of the game can keep you in the game too long, and what was once beloved becomes tolerated, and even despised at worst. Although "my all" is not as much as it once was, I will once again give my all to the recruiting forum again this season. Trot me out... let's go.

Your dedication is truly admirable. Your game posts will continue to be cherished and adored, even if you do feel like you have the trots;). Your trots are much better than I could hope to poorject. Thanks for leading us out through that T each week. I appreciate all the work that put into the game threads.

Umm... Yer wulcom. It was only my feint and persistent tomfoolery about starting a game thread that pull @nicksjuzunk out of his funk and got him back in the game. I am a master motivator and all of yall thought I really want to start a game thread and be loved and adored by you morons? Ha. It was all only ever part of my genius plan to get Nick back. Wow. Y'all need to get in the boat and row, I tell you that.
