It all started with that finals run. They roped me in. I was a freshman in high school and very impressionable. From then on I was addicted to information on what the Knicks next moves were to get over the top. I would read the paper everyday looking for Knicks info. Then senior year in highschool signed up for the MSG forums. Was introduced to the world of inside information and ideals on the Knicks with a number of different characters. Briggs Aka RipHamilton, Fishmike, Alanfan20, TMS, Solace, Bippity, Bonn??? among others. Then moderator started tripping and suspending everyone for no reason.

I don't remember how I stumbled on UK.

15 yrs ago, lets see I got promoted at the job I held at the time to supervisor and bought my first car 1994 Acura Integra.

I started on the NYtimes boards I think- "Rip" and Mr Earl were there I think-
Then at some point my misplaced generosity with my time led me here, although we did have a few fun nights out. Bitty was cute too! Martin may still have a light-up margarita cup. I lost mine the same night. Didn't make the banana boat trip to Toronto but have enjoyed seeing you guys when we did make it out. I'm FB friends w Eny.
I remember my friend after 1999 said to me- the Knicks are going to suck for a long time now- Anyway I still enjoyed it and will next year too. Thank God my wife likes BBall and the Knicks too. She thinks Frank N is going to be better for the team than Dennis Smith so I can cry on her shoulder while watching summer league highlights. OK now I'm getting off topic.....
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

cant you tell he hasn't from his posts? BURNNNNNNNN LOL

That was funny.

Bonn, for the most part yes but I dislocated my knee and suffered some nerve damage, it's basically the same injury(peripheral nerve damage/ foot drop)that former Notre Dame and current Cowboys LB, Jaylen Smith, suffers from except with more trauma due to a car crash. Fortunately for him science has come a long way and the braces has too. I unfortunately lost my chance to continue my college football career but it is good to see people like Jaylen Smith overcome their injuries and try to play. Other than leg pain and a limp I am mostly okay. I know my posts do not always reflect that but it is what it is. Like I said before I feel blessed to have come away without any trauma to my brain or face. I had laceration to each eye lid and if it were any deeper I could have been blinded or worse. So to mee everyday is a gift from God.

Wow, that's incredible. It's strange - we've been posting here so long. It seems like we get to know each other but we don't really know anything about each other's history. That's too bad about the injuries and football but I'm glad you're still with us today.
