Got tired of modding/tired of SA, got tired of dealing with something sensitive, apparently wanted a smaller online presence (all of his sites are gone).

He's got a twitter account I think and that's it.

There's a rumor he sexually harassed someone but that's one of those SS things and who knows :shrug:

SASS was drat old, it was the castaway spot when Lowtax and all the original admins were still running the asylum. I remember reading SASS a few times and this was forever ago, probably every bit of a decade. Not sure which takeover you mean but if it was anything recent it was probably SS.

I think I found SASS via ED which I found out about when that place started documenting everything about Gorgeous George (:allears:).

Eh that’s not an easy position to be in. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t when you’re a reporter. You have an obligation to ask a newsworthy question when you have the opportunity, whether it might seem in poor taste or not.

quote:

"I long for the days when the characteristics of the team we put on the field on Saturdays exemplified the characteristics of the hard working people of our state," Frost wrote at the time. "We used to have the Taj Mahal of college football programs. Now it feels like someone took 40 tons of dynamite to our proud and noble masterpiece and built a three bedroom ranch in its place."

Congrats, long suffering Nebraska fans. I hope it works out for you.

That does not make him a lovely person and doesn't make it OK to ask a question you know will bring him down while he's celebrating a great season ~1 minute after the game is over.

The slayer if the mighty Boiler Maker is too tough.

The wildcat can't be bargained with. The wildcat can't be reasoned with. The wildcat doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear. And it absolutely will not stop ever until every B1G West team is dead.

He agreed to abandon UCF for millions of dollars prior to the game, it's a fair question. It sucks to be hit with the question then but sometimes life sucks.
