Huddle History

[Hawk]

great post mush...I for one can honestly say I miss the contributions you used to make daily to the huddle...now it's a pleasant surprise to see you post at all.  Too many people fall into that category these days unfortunately.

 

 

I remember years ago getting booked for a training session down in South Carolina.  I was already a member here but I'd never been out that way or met anyone from here.  The welcome I received when I got to town was unforgettable.  A night out with a few of the regulars, tailgate on gameday, ticket with the lovely Miss Skyy, hell, I even wore a Steve Smith jersey to the game (overtop my Seahawk shirt) to watch the panthers beat the falcons.

 

I've been back twice since and loved every minute of my time there.

 

this was a very different website back then, that's for sure.  seemed to have more focus on getting to know people and making friendships etc....I'm sure that still happens today too, but not as much in my opinion.

 

I'll add to your trip down memory lane....the huddle...where only a Canadian Seahawk fan would be a Survivor Champion, still to be defeated by the way.....named a Mod, and of course, the huddler of the decade award winner.

Little PANTHERS Huddle cookout from 2005.

 

that's a great picture of some great posters right there.  I hung out with Jesterhawk a couple months back in Seattle as we were both standing up at a mutual friends wedding....fun times.

Fact: I have changed my name too much for anyone to know who I am...or care for that matter haha

At one point Zod was going to sell shares of this site.....

that was before he became overcome with the lust for power

I remember the Locker Room and pr0n. Survivor was the best.

 

I went to a Phillies game a few years ago. And Jesterhawk in Philly for a cheesesteak once.

The Lounge used to be absolutely crazy with activity as early as a few years ago. Maybe I just don't come in as much, but it doesn't seem that it's as active. 

There were several dark moments and terrible users/threads. The massive crash.

There was also the reaction to Pickles that lead to the largest schism between users I've ever seen (perhaps rivaled by the split of opinion on Cam pre-draft). 

The TB has a history as well. Rebel Yell (lol). 

 

Also where you store the butter.

proves we need a forum just for the olden days...look at the historical figures this thread has pulled out of the woodwork!

Great post and thread Mush.  And, thanks for all you did for years with the tailgate.

My wife stores the butter in the fridge. I haven't eaten toast in 3 years

Nobody changes their username more than uncle wet poots or dex. Those guys have some serious insecurities or something.

We used to put shrimp tails in the back of Zod's truck at tailgates.  Me and Panthro would launch eggs at opposing fans on the street.  Jase shops at the Food Lion by my house.  My kids remember going to Buddha's birthday party.  My wife used to think I was weird for meeting internet strangers off this website at various events, and now she has many friends off this site.  Go To Girl baked my daughter a cake one year for her birthday.  Several members have bought cars from me at my car lot.  Seems like within the first two years of being on this site I had personally met well over 100 users.  I met them in Seattle, Las Vegas, talked to one on the phone in Australia when I was there.

 

I've gone to NASCAR races with JBro, Squirrel, Scrum, cooter, Jrockets, and others whose names escape me.   Met members in Cleveland for drinks before a game, went out with Cooter and Hawk one night in Charlotte and had a whole bar convinced he was an NHL player and had many, many times out drinking with tons of different members, and have many people on here I consider a good friends and people.
