Phil, thanks for providing this and your first incarnations of the site, including the Salas days. I too did not post much but kept my eye on it.

: Phil,
:
: Thanks for providing your board all these
: years. I look forward to posting on the new
: board. I too go back to the days of Bob
: Salas. Ah, the memories. We will see you at
: the tailgates again this year.

: Thanks for this board, Phil. I will start
: surfing the new site, although I have always
: liked the easy navigability of this board
: and the minimalist structure. So many sites
: are just cluttered with links and go way
: beyond anything I'm remotely interested in,
: so I have always preferred the format your
: board provided. A bastion of calm and
: (mostly) focused discussion. I like it
: here, and wish you weren't merging, but
: understand the rationale and will shift over
: to Inside Sparta -- must be a few good folks
: over there, so our bunch can only make for a
: merrier crowd. At least, I hope.
:
: Thanks again for this board, Phil. I'll
: miss it a lot. Bix.

: Dear Spartan Fans, for the last 15 or so
: years
: I have provided a spot for Spartan fans to
: get together and talk Spartan athletics
: while hopefully providing information to you
: fans and the general public alike. I started
: this board when Bob Salas was winding his
: board down after providing excellent
: coverage (better then what the Athletic
: Department was doing at the time I might
: add). I was already hooked on the fan
: interaction on the web and I didn’t want all
: of his hard work to disappear and have
: nowhere else to go so I opened up this board
: to allow a somewhat smooth transition.
:
: The board was originally meant to stay open
: until a more suitable site was started but
: that took awhile and by the time another
: site opened, there was a good following and
: I figured that it didn’t hurt to leave it up
: and let people post as they please. Over the
: years, the board had its ups and downs and
: at times, I thought, why bother with it but
: it always came back to my thought that
: ultimately it was good for the school. That
: brings us to now.
:
: After some conversations with the guys over
: at Inside Sparta, I have decided to merge
: this site with them so we can more concisely
: and completely cover Spartan Athletics and
: hopefully bring everyone under one roof so
: to speak. I think the coverage will be
: outstanding as soon as everything is set in
: place. Thanks to Don, SJSdude, Spartan
: Hoops, and Bozar for inviting this site to
: be part of this new era.
:
: I want to thank everyone who has ever posted
: or just browsed the site over the years and
: look forward to talking to each of you at
: insidesparta.com. I will leave this site up
: for the time being as a link to the new site
: and hope to see all of you over at the new
: board. Thanks again and I will talk to you
: all soon.
:
: Phil
