It's been a long time, and I know a few of us have since passed (pinkflower/socaldean), but I know a few of us are still out there. I see a few familiar names here.  

Any other VU guys here?

Hissing Boomslang, lol....quite the story there if some posters remember. I think he bilked some money from a few people on the board. It got weird with him I guess. His son and I had the same birthday. 

Jesus, I had forgotten about all this and this thread is kickstarting my memory, lol.

I think that's what people mean when they say VU. It was hosted by Sports n you, but we all just called it Viking Underground. But it's been so many years, my memory could be blurring.

i think marriage and family calmed him down, he was kinda emotional about his takes. I remeber Sinorswim disagreeing with him and he flipped out. lol
