For a long time, I have touted this board as being a major player in the Tri-Cities sports landscape.
We have more balls than all of the so-called professional journalists, we get more posters than the talk shows get callers and we provide a majority of their show prep and story ideas, and we accurately record the feelings of the Bucs fans both locally and nationally.
And by we, I do not mean the delusions that so many posters on here use when speaking of the Bucs that takes away from their credibility.
I mean the "royal we."
And I'm justified in doing so. I created this board, after all.
But regardless, we still have people on here who just don't like my style that search in vain to put me down. They say I should start a blog (and give up the give and take?), they say I can't cut it in the real world (uh, no. Five years at the Post-Gazette proves otherwise. I just won't play the little games the rest of the media around here does), or they post out and out blantant lies about my character or actions.
BUT NOW- ALL YOU IDIOTS HAVE BEEN REFUTED!!!!
Ladies and Gentleman- THE ELIZABETHTON STAR HAS LINKED TO US!

Yes, the Elizabethton Star, which features the best Appalachian League coverage in the market, has recognized THIS BOARD as the place to talk Bucs.
My personal thanks to Sports Editor Wes Holtsclaw and whoever the web designer is over there and all other parties involved!
