Welcome to the latest incarnation of SeattLion's Den - A Division of CyBar Industries Inc.
Penn State 95 and SeattLion Proprietors.
-
Always nice to see expansion in this economy.
-
And....
Morning All
-
g'morning, Sir.
-
Nice place you got here. Do you own the site?
-
Yup. But I don't claim full authority. This group has been together a while and that's why it's here. We're gonna see how crowd management works.
-
Good Luck.
The Den's been around since the CNNSI days and is currently here, scout.com and at a private board called "The Alamo". I'm the only one posting there in honor of the late owner, Winged Helmet.
-
Howdy.
-
Morning All
-
Yo.
Looks like it's high time to have everyone move over here from Scout, eh?
One more full day and it seems to me the place is toast.
-
'morn, folks.
Scout indicated the 16th. I 'think' that is when they start their cut-over, but it doesn't necessarily mean that's the absolute time it's gone, in my understanding... but it means it has started and it will happen soon thereafter... like... hours or days at the most, after. After they make the cutover, servers all over the planet will have to propagate to the new IP (pointing the domain to the right server). I've seen that take a few minutes, and i've seen it take a few days.
all I know for sure is that place is toast, as you said. it'll be on borrowed time after Saturday.
-
Scout is shutting down?
-
Scout was bought out of bankruptcy by CBSInteractive- aka 24/7 Sports in late January. The 'debtors server' agreement expired 30 June, and 24/7 announced their plans to collect all outlying webpages and put them under the same format around May. This 'format' will effectively eliminate the boards we're familiar with on Scout, and will look+operate as the current 24/7 boards do... the content from Scout will be abandoned, and the rules which regulate the board will be altered to 24/7's agreements.
we don't know how deep into Scout 24/7 will dive- they may cut-over every board, or they may cut-over only those which produce content (as in publish). We just don't know, and they won't share (because i don't think they know either, truth be told).
that's pretty much it in a nutshell. we've made a landing spot- and i intend to maintain it regardless of what some corporation does with their own property- this place is OUR property, and because of which we can do what we want to with it, and driven by the core group of posters/people we know.
-
Wow. Cool.
I have a site we can get to as well for whatever reason. A poster named Winged Helmet, from the late 90s at CNNSI, had his own board since about 2007-ish. He passed away 3 years ago but his son took over his business and maintains the box that "The Alamo" is on. His son keeps it up in his father's memory and I post the occasional "Morning All" because I can. I have admin rights.

Off to the harbor. Have a good day boyz.
-
off to the harbor......
grrrrrrrr......
as i throw money at the boat once again, this time for a new engine- a complete new engine... and that isn't to mention finishing on compounding and waxing it tonight, and re-bunking the trailer tomorrow.... just to spend next weekend planting the engine.... and all of this just to make the wife happy.
-
Is it sacrilegious to have an Oklahoma coach with the first name of Lincoln?
-
I'm headed to the golf course
have a good day, boys
-
mor... er, uh Afternoon y'all... it's hot here.... and humid. it's either sweat wet and hot, or ocean wet and hot... you're gonna be hot either way- unless you retreat (as i have) to the lazy-boy watching the Gator spring game on ESPN-U...
-
weather underground says it was 105.6 here yesterday while I was on the course
no wonder my legs were cramping a bit this morning
106 in Round Rock yesterday - my brother wins again
-
afternoon y'all!
-
Been in triple digits in the Central Valley for about a month. Luckily, no humidity.
-
'mornin y'all.
we've found a reprieve from the heat, here- and rain... I'm watching grass grow and knowing i'll be out there knocking it down for the second time in a week... not to complain, though... garden appreciates it and things are growing again as opposed to becoming dormant in the heat.

mornin' y'all

It is. the family and leave tomorrow for Ocean City NJ for a family reunion. Today is absolutely dragging.

From the article below
"On Sept. 26, 1920, the Independents beat the St. Paul Ideals 48-0. The winners would survive six NFL seasons, including one that featured Hall of Fame back Jim Thorpe."
Jim Thorpe was from a small town near Pottsville called Mauch Chunk. It has since been renamed - Jim Thorpe.
-
To Winged Helmet! We shall not soon see his like again.

From the article below
Jim Thorpe was from a small town near Pottsville called Mauch Chunk. It has since been renamed - Jim Thorpe.
Jim Thorpe was born and and spent his early years on the Sac and Fox reservation near Prague, OK. He moved to PA to go to Carlisle Indian School. In addition to football he won the Pentathlon and Decathlon in the 1912 Olympics.

afternoon y'all...
it's steady storming down here- hard rain, for hours now. temperature dropped. it's a bit of a reprieve.
in light of that, and in the wee hours while y'all were sleeping, i optimized this place some.... cleaned up some files that were slowing things down, dumped six months or logs out of the database... and moved things around as far as presentation. time well spent.

Stand corrected, Thumper.
-
Having issues logging on to Scout. I tried the password reset and it still won't let me in. Is it gone?
-
'mornin, Sir.
the CFN side of Scout is no more. the Scout side of Scout lives under CBSInteractive, aka 247 Sports.

How bad do my wife's Huskies kill Rutgers? UW opened as a 33 point favorite and it's currently at 27.5. I take UW at the current spread.
-
.... that wouldn't be a bad wager.

tOSU vs. Indiana tonite.
Real Football!

Almost didn't find the place.....
-
glad you did!!!!

Exactly what I figured would happen, happened in the OSU/IU game. IU was fired up, hung for a while, then faded.
-
That's why you don't force the ball, Trace.
-
afternoon, sir.

Morning All

I hope everyone's team won last week.
-
While I'm always happy with a win, I really wanted to see Pitt get smoked by 40.
Pitt did a masterful job of holding on to the ball, but they didn't score. When Penn State scores 2 tds and has the ball for all of 9 minutes, you know it's your day.
-
those boys looked good.... they say it ain't arrogance if you can back it up, but dang- Franklin pushes that, no?
-
A little...

Looking forward to the game but don't expect Georgia State to put up much of a fight. Of course, Wisconsin didn't last year either.

Nice Pick. Now let's get the TD.

C'mon offense. Get your shit together....
-
Morning All.
-
That was fun.
-
Not feeling confident about this one at tOSU.
-
Well that's good
-
Morning All.

As my boot camp Company Commander always said, "When you get knocked down, get back up, put 'em back in your wheel barrow and carry on smartly".
Helluva comeback by OSU. Congrats.
-
Well, Fuck.

Morning All
I meant to check in yesterday, as it was Ray's birthday, but I got slammed at work.
Anyway, Happy Birthday to Ray, and never forget Pearl Harbor and what it meant to our country.
Cheers
-
Well well well......
-
Well what?
-
A well is a hole in the ground. What of it?
One reason I recall Wingy's birthday is because it coincides with Pearl Harbor Day.
But the main reason is because it's the same as mine. :)

I'm happy to report my marriage survived its first Penn State/Washington game. Corn Dawg, my native Nebraska, Husky alum wife, is still talking to me. It helped that we didn't watch the game together....
-
My i s c & a aggie wife and I survived many UT-TAMU games over the years.
But yeah, watching separately never hurt...
-
Wow... UCF Getting cocky.

Good morning all. As another poster from the old cnnsi / alamo / CFb refugees sight glad I found you guys again.
I had no idea the Alamo sight was still up. Ray was quite a character on there with his rants etc. what happened to Dustin’s old sight? I didn’t log in often but I enjoyed it when I did.
-
Morning All.

Gigem! How the hell are you?
The immortal Winged Helmet's site is currently down, but I can send an email to Dubya H Jr. to get it back up if the desire arises. After Ray ran everyone off in one of his famous rants, it was just Alta, VaBlue, Me and him for a few years. After Ray passed it was just the three of us for another year or so. After that, just me.... I can't remember if you heard but we've also lost Big Matt and PSA from the CNNSI days.
I created a private group on facebook, too, if you care to join us there.
Still no word on Nolefan or NKOT.
-
I did hear about Big Matt RIP but not until after sometime after the incident. He tried to break into the wrong apartment or something right? RIP Vegetable Pimp.
God...NKOT. Haven't heard that name in awhile. Did he hang around any of the other boards? I don't remember seeing him once CNNSI went belly up.
-
NKOT left before CNNSI went away. I remember him thanking everyone for the conversation in typical NKOT fashion then he was never heard from again.
Big Matt thought he was breaking into his own apartment (He typically left his keys at home when he'd go to the local bar). All of the buildings in his complex looked exactly alike and in his drunkeness, he went to his window but in the wrong building. The first time, the tenant walked him out. The second time, he fired.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too close for comfort.
