Anyone know about the honorable wire chief and if he is still participating. I miss his tests especially during the off season, although I was often skunked by them. Hope he is well and knows we miss him here.

He last posted in February of 2019. The sad thing about a message board community is that many are "anonymous" on the board and, if not known to others, nothing is known when they leave.

I do hope he is well, but always wonder; like many posters he was up in age and had suffered (apparently) some health issues; he didn't tend to say much about himself. I exchanged messages on rare occasions, having suggested a few quiz questions from time to time or exchanged Rutgers comments (he attended at least one year of school at Rutgers). So yes, I too miss him and his quizzes as well.
 
I miss him and his tests, too.

A couple of us tried posting tests with some success. I'll try to think of a few questions.

We lost a poster on a Louisville fan board a couple years ago. I never met him but felt like I knew him. His death really hurt - I looked forward to his posts every day.

Happened a few times for me on the men's boards. Then you think about being glad you got to meet them in the first place.
 
@temery ...did wire chief enter a name when registering?

I didn't think it had been so long since he posted. I'm fairly certain this is wire chief. If so, RIP.

RIP. And Go Huskies. He and I scrapped over his questions and answers in a lighthearted manner. But we agreed on the UConn ladies.

"They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for awhile, then closes
Within a dream."
 
He was a wonderful asset to this board. He put time and effort into those quizzes to help keep us entertained and engaged during slow times. I enjoyed reading them even when I elected not to play. Even more entertaining than his questions were his summations. They were lighthearted, to the point and sometimes included fun zingers. When you run into the Bishop up there, Chief, I'm sure you'll be talking to him about Notre Dame.

An A1 poster on this forum who would have challenged more of us to spend a little more time finding answers in our lock down times! ;)
It's a given he was an intelligent man, reading his obit and where he would want donations to go in lieu of flowers says more. He was quite a humanitarian and cared for our planet. Condolences to his family and friends may he RIP.

Damn...just reading this.
 
This post gave me some pause for thought, especially in today's atmosphere. I joined the Boneyard a couple of years ago and have had so much pleasure interacting with various members like Carnac, Bigboote, BamaFan, Old Dog and MsGret just to name a few. As you get older you begin to realize how important it is to be connected to other members of our human race and, more importantly, just how much more we have in common than we do in our differences. I think that the Boneyard is a great example of people being able to express their different opinions with civility and without rancor. Not everyone agrees with my opinion of who is better than who at rebounding, passing or shooting but we all agree that it is enjoyable to tell me why I'm wrong.

Steelerone you have me by a couple of months but I agree with everything that you said. I have enjoyed the Boneyard immensely and also enjoy interacting with many of the various members. I don't use facebook or twitter because it's just not my as they say "cup of tea" with all of the animosity and stuff. Here on the "Yard" there is more civility and for most of the time no rancor, but we have a very dedicated group of "MODS" that do a great job of handling it. I enjoy the site because most of the people that are here a very dedicated to UConn and the young ladies as well as Woman's College Basketball. They are very knowledgeable and are great to interact with. You learn things about the young ladies of UConn and the history of the program. The members are well behaved compared to a lot of other social media platforms to include other WBB boards. I'm very grateful to meeting Bob, a UConn basketball fan at Circus Circus Hotel in Reno, taking him and his wife to the UConn - UNR game and having a late dinner with them afterwords. They were the one's that turned me to the Boneyard, checked it out, and joined in December 2017.

Great eulogy Bama. You have the soul of a poet. When my time comes my ashs will be scattered over the Three Rivers. You can think of something as long as it includes my Steelers.
