Server Renewal - 2022

[Rick B.]

I went from Bryan Fritchie's listservs. Hawgtalk and Hawgball, to the Pigpen in 1997 after I moved to Orlando. Somebody put a link to it in an email, and knowing Fritchie, that pissed him off bad. I know I signed off that listserv as soon as I saw what was happening on the Pigpen.

I wanted to keep this until we hit the twenty-year mark....and we have.

I'll probably be around about as much as I have been for the last seven years, without the annual chunk of work I do around renewal time because I'm semi-interested for a few weeks. That always goes away. 

I still see Bryan at all the games pretty much.  He either wanders by my tailgate or I see him wandering around the stadium.

Who I haven't seen in 20 years is Booth.  What ever happened to him?

Bryan Fritchie is a name I haven’t heard in a hot minute. If memory serves me correctly he and Angie Pratt had a falling out over Arkansassports.com and a lawsuit was filed. He started Hogcall which is still there but clearly doesn’t work now.

We're Facebook friends....you should send him a request.

Will Yelena strip?

I know that guy. Saw him a lot at Dallas Rallys and watch parties. His birthday was yesterday.

See what hassles come from trying to turn your board into a business venture?  Lanny has succeeded financially doing it, but there are a lot more failure stories than success ones. Just today I responded to an email from some media outfit wanting to guest post to drive traffic.

"Not interested" >> Send

It's just easier not dealing with anything.

And none of this would have been possible the last 15 years or so if you guys hadn't paid the bills. The first server it was on was one under my control at the ad agency in Memphis. Once I left there....we had to find a host. Seems like longer than 15 years ago...

Dammit.  These parties have gone to hell in a handcart ever since Creed broke up. 

And there needs to be a golf tournament.  Cerdo Spackler can handle varmint control.

You want Cerdo to do varmint control AND run a weed eater?  Give the man a rest.

Who the hell is the event coordinator? Leave it to you guys to hire the wrong Goforth.

Yep.  Bry and I have been friends on FB forever.

That's funny. Walmart,  AR

Is Woopig going to sponsor a player with a NIL deal now?  Every year, we can sponsor a student ath-u-lete with the left over from the server drive?

$79 NIL sponsorship to some random female cutie/handsome dude  on the softball/baseball team?  Need to be inclusive and all.


Or maybe bump it up to like $1000 to have Woopig.net tattooed on their lower back like a tramp stamp?

[BASS]

I support a woopig nil deal for a razorback gymnast.

[Rick B.]

Yes. Hilarious

[mr.zorak]

up. 

And there needs to be a golf tournament.

One can only hope and dream we have round two....

[mr.zorak]

Seriously.  This place is like mental dental floss.

I thought you asked me about Booth. That's who I'm friends with. Not Fritchie.

Fuck. Sorry. Misinterpreted your response.

[jdcatty]

I knew Fritche and used to post on Hogcall.  He was a weird guy.  Showed up at my tailgate a few times with that Hog welder’s helmet he had.

[SteveJ]

It's paid.
