Sobering Thought for the Day

[Random UK Fan]

Was just watching a high school bball game on ESPN2 and realized “if we have one player in the upcoming class stay until his senior year, the recruits following him will have been born in Cal’s first year here (Wall, Boogie, etc’s class)”


Made me a little sad thinking about how old you all are getting.

I won’t be angry if you change your avatar, lol.

It's tough for sure.

I really hate those social media posts that are like "2005 is closer to 1988 than it is to 2023".. Those posts give me agita

Same. I’m always amazed at how much time has passed when looking back at something that seemed like 3-4 years ago, only to find out it was more like 7-8 actually.

The absolute WORST is when you post here in your early 20s and think "WTF are all these old turds doing here posting in their 40's, 50's and 60's"..

And then you realize you're on the wrong side of 30 and those old ****s are basically your future. Ughhh.

I'm over 425 years old. I used to travel around Europe performing in a circus theater with a vampire coven.

Bad news was that most of my coven was killed by a vampire who looked a lot like Brad Pitt.

Good news is that my 401 K has a few billion in it by now.

Nice, you should retire but I understand why you don’t

 

[wildcat_bigd]

Why try to make me sober though?

I've been posting on here for more years than the actual age I started posting in 2001.

But you were given something I never had….a choice

 

[WildcatNC]

This is just disrespectful. 😤

I choose to be positive. As I have gotten older I keep hearing stuff like, “50 is the new 30.”

The older I get, the longer people seem to be living. I see people who are in their 80’s and still going strong. Here’s hoping when I hit 80, they say “80 is the new 50” or something like that.

I’m 51 and I do not feel old. I thought 51 was ancient when I was a kid. But I feel like I am still in my prime.

How about this one. One of the first (maybe the first) UK games I remember watching on tv, DJ Wagner's grand-dad played in (The Dream Game).

I was telling my 7 yr old grandson about something I used to too as a little boy. He said “was that in the last century?”

National "change your avatar" day has arrived and there's still time to participate!!!

I remember listening to UK games on the radio in 1958 at 10 years old. Johnny Cox and Vernon Hatton were on the team then.
Now, that’s OLD.
