WELCOME BACK GREG!!
TWASN’T THE SAME WITHOUT YOU …. just haven’t figured out whether it was better … or worse, LOL :)
Seriously, it’s great to have you back in the ASoB fold, where you belong!!
Nice tan!
You been on the beach? Welcome back.
Welcome back Greg - you have been sorely missed - believe it or not you added great insight and fresh thoughts
Wasn’t quite the same without your opinions and comments.
A man is nothing more than a summation of his scars!

Bienvenido Hogar
Looking forward to your BB commentary. As for FB, as I told you previously, I find that silence is appreciated and quite therapeutic.

You got emails??
I left for 5-6months and heard not a word. I didn’t leave for any reasons here but I digress. I applaud those,like you,who differ in their opinions of the majority. Majority rules is one reason our congress is in such a mess. Rule #1 there seems to be don’t dare break party lines or do what’s best for the country. But I digress again. There is nothing wrong with voicing your opinion on here even if it goes against what the majority thinks. Of course sometimes if one does that with the all the subtlety of a slegehammer it can cause a problem. I have been guilty of that myself. Anyway welcome back and I would sure love to see those emails.
you didn't receive
any emails because you didn’t go out of your way to post a fanpost stating that you were leaving. See?

welcome back, Greg.
I thought I should probably say something, however, to tell you the truth, that first fanpost sort of rubbed me the wrong way. I’m not sure why you felt it necessary to announce your leaving in such a fashion, but at any rate, you definitely add color to the place so I’m quite glad you grew up, wised up and are now back with us.
Well, to be honest, since your football presence is limited, you probably were not aware of some things that I went back and forth with Glenn on.
I felt like rather than make it an issue which would get me removed, that I should step aside. My informing everyone was so that Glenn would not have a lot of questions to answer about possibly retaliation by banning me. And probably a little bit of ego on my part as well.
As to the growing up part, don’t bet on it.
Thanks.

I agree with you, BSC.
But I love to get into arguments with GAE, so I’m kind of glad he’s back.

I have a different opinion this time
I don’t comment on this blog…but since you brought it up.
I am one of the people that don’t appreciate your style or your attitude, Greg.
You and Forty are the 2 biggest trolls I have personally ever seen on the entire Internet. And yes, that’s saying something. And yes, I’m serious. To be honest, you and Forty, in my opinion, are 2 big reasons the contributions of ASOB have never been fully appreciated by the masses. I know it’s had that effect on me. I just KNOW that every time I place a statistic in the comments section, it’s going to be followed with a definitive contrariwise opinion of Greg and Forty. It’s as sure as the sun rising.
So although I support every man’s right to express himself creatively in however form he chooses, and while I fully understand that at the end of the day, ASOB isn’t that damn important to living a happy life, and yes, while I do understand that this is just some random blog comment section on the Internet, I do want you to at least be aware (for your own self-monitoring) that there are a lot of people in the world who do notice you…and don’t like you very much because you’re a pompous ass know-it-all with a bad attitude.
Just keepin’ it real, man. And I’m not saying anything I wouldn’t say to your face either. I personally feel much more relaxed knowing you and Forty aren’t going to be trolling the comments and if you want to keep your opinions to yourself, I’m personally OK with that. I enjoy ASOB much better when you do.
So, I guess you don't want an invitation to join my fan club?
Well, can’t win ’em all……

By the way, stats and tendencies, facts and figures are wonderful things.
And if they were always the determining factors in competition, I guess it wouldn’t be necessary to play the games. They are great for recording history. I just don’t trust them for predicting it. But, to each his (or her) own.

Oh to be Forty
And I’m not saying that because I just turned 50. I have had my ups and downs with Forty. When I first got here I too thought he may be a troll. But I learned he does know his stuff especially when it comes to stats. Sometimes he comes off as being high and mighty but I think it’s because he is direct and straight to the point. He has called me on some points before because I didn’t check to see if I was right or wrong especially when it came to stats. While I don’t always agree with him I do feel he has made me a more responsible blogger because I now take the time to check before I post. Usually….

Hey, he cost me a picture in a dang Louisville hat......lol.....
but you are right, he knows his stats, and he knows how to interpret them better than anyone I have ever seen. He’s almost like a dang statbook/thesaurus when it comes to UK info and history.
Honestly, with a name like the one above, I don’t put a lot of stock in information or opinion. If someboday can’t do better than to make their name out of an expletive, hey, what do you think you’ll get?
