Hey, I'm BigRedMachineBigBlueNation. I've been stalking the forums for a while, but finally decided to make an account.

If you have been stalking the forums for a while then you understand that you will be berated and will be a "second class citizen" for a while. As long as you can live with that you should be fine. Welcome.

Thanks,

I 've been a second class citizen on AW to, so I'm use too it.

Hopefully I'm prepared for to the insanity that happens this forum.

 

[ThroughBlue]

Longest name ever

 

[Bkocats]

speaking of your name, OP, how did you come by it?

 

[ORCAT]

So, you're a Cats and Reds fan, do you live in or near the Bluegrass area and grew up a fan of both? Anyway, welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy being a member of the insanity that can sometimes take place on here.

It was one of my many ESPN handles back before they switched to facebook accouts.
I came up with it because I'm a UK fan and a Cincy Reds fan (Big Red Machine like the 1970s Reds teams)

Yep, grew up in NKY so I was bound to be Bengals and Reds fan. I didn't become a UK fan til early high school. Before that I didn't care for sports outside of pro baseball and football.

Welcome! I used to talk to someone with big red machine in their handle on ESPN.

Lived in Cincy in the '70s during the real Big Red Machine. The mid 70s were the best ever. Still remember all those guys and was at the '75 series the day after my daughter was born. She still gives me a hard time.

They need to get Pete back in the game!! I hope that past Commissioner has a terrible life. Let the druggies play and awwww well.

Be prepared to be watched and tread lightly, Bro!

Same as it is here. I talked to him on reds game chats and such.

 

[wildcatdonf]

Hawk, Johnny Bench, Dave Concepcion, Pete Rose, ......... dang, I forgot the others.

 

[Bkocats]

well I'm embarrassed - but then again, not being a baseball fan at ALL I could be forgiven for not knowing what the BigRedMachine is?

 

[ThroughBlue]

Reds teams in the 70s with Rose, Bench, Concepcion a team full of hall of famers that ran through baseball

I'm new to this forum too but I'm not sure why it's necessary to go through a sort of "hazing" before your opinion matters. I'm a 54 old UK alumni and have participated in other forums but this is the only one where people are treated like pledges in a fraternity. Don't you people want new ideas and opinions? More posts do NOT mean a higher knowledge, in fact from what I've read the opposite is sometimes true. Oh and most members have no clue as to the true definition of a troll. I know this is my first post, maybe my last but many of the members here are just flat out childish.
