I want to thank everyone for their support of me during my suspension from the website last week. I can’t tell you how much it meant for me to see so many people come to my side and defend what they thought was write. I only hope that I am as good of a friend to UNCTarheels as he has been to me. I can’t thank him enough for his efforts.. I also have to thank Oldschool78, who I met this past weekend in Prattsburgh. He is a great gentleman and I won’t forget how he “took the ball and ran with it” when it came to getting me reinstated. Randy, you are a tremendous guy and someone that I can truly call a friend. Again, thank you! The avatar support, started by FLWBall11, was awesome. A special thank you to FLWBALL11, Vikingfan, and Bcherry8 for showing their support this way. It also reminded me why I have the perfect face for radio! I don’t think you can get better advice from someone like Rams15. Mr. Rossi has been a great listener and his feedback is always appreciated. We are lucky to have men like Randy and Bob on this board as they are both tremendous men. I also have to thank the “Dundee bunch” Coachstew, toadhead25, Flwball11 and proudestmonkey27. They were all great in showing their support! And to everyone else that I didn’t mention, thanks :)

Of course, I would be a fool if I didn’t think the support from the Prattsburgh fan base. The signs (what happened to them anyway???), along with the ovation and chant Saturday night before the JV game, will be something I will never forget. I thanked Mara the other night for the signs and want to do it again. It is the greatest place in the state, and as Coach Burke would say “Only in Prattsburgh.” I was able to meet with DrewVT and Hilly the other night and I think meeting them and getting a chance to talk face-to-face was a great opportunity for us all to “move on.” Did anyone see on the news the other night that hell froze over? Actually, it was just that Drew, Hilly, UNC, Oldschool78, and Chris Metcalfe were all sitting at the same table at Prattsburgh Central School enjoying some good pizza and laughs. Talk about the Yalta Conference! I don’t hold a grudge at all to Drew for making the decision he made last week as he is a moderator on this board and he made the decision. I didn’t lose any sleep over it and in fact, I had more fun with it than anything. He was a great sport Saturday night in Prattsburgh with the signs and even posed in pictures with me after with the signs. I look forward to all of us putting the incident behind us and moving forward.

Thanks again to everyone and I look forward to sharing more thoughts, opinions, and witty humor on the board. Again, thanks to everyone for their support and I will talk to you all soon.

Welcome back Luke. I had alot of fun Saturday NIght. The game was well played, the announcer was a HOMER, and the home team won!!! What else could you ask for? I enjoyed the get together after the game. I had a nice converstion with Coach Burke and Coach Rapone. That was the first time I was in the middle of 2 coaches, having a conversation, where one of them didn't want to chop my head off. MrsOldSchool had a blast as well.

I have never seen officials, past or present, happier than what they were Saturday night. The fact Coach Burke had 5 to 10 percent of his voice was "music" to your ears ;)

Yeah, that announcer is a homer, I would agree with that:p

It's funny that you really find out who your true friends are in times of trouble. There's a lesson to be learned there, I think !!?? You are most gracious with your thanks. A gentlemen. Remain true to your self and you can always sleep at night. ( although you might make it a little umcomfortable for some others to nod off however.. hahaha )

Its great to have you back.

This time off almost led you into a new career in basketball, but I'm glad you came back as the old you. Good to have you back Shaq:)

I was telling my brother about it Sunday and then told him I wore my Shaq uniform. He then said Shaq probably would announce his retirement shortly after finding out how I disgraced him
