To the dismay of many, I am here.

Glad to see an ally aboard. Although, I would imagine most would consider us the "axis of evil."

I need to put that under my avatar. "axis of evil member". Ha ha

Bahh... I had it turned off by default. I just turned it on for everyone. If you want to turn it on or off, it is in your Profile... Look and Layout Preferences.

Wow, March 15, 2011. A lousy PA system for at least over 6 years.

If you go back through the thread you see that chairback must have commented about the PA system in 2008 just before he stopped posting on the message board (it was on a different website previous to 2011) for three years. Then he commented in 2011 that he had been gone for three years and he still desired for the PA system to be fixed. I truly believe that the complaining about the PA system goes back before 2008. I remember there being an effort to replace many of the speakers and aim them so that they weren't being blocked or inhibited by fixtures within the ARC. Some people said it got better but others said it was just as bad as before depending on where you were sitting in the ARC.

That reminds me that we haven't heard from okinawatyphoon since probably 2011. I wonder where he went.

A frustrating aspect of the poor quality during P.A. announcements, which are often so garbled in some parts of the arena that they are incomprehensible, is that recorded music played during timeouts usually sounds perfect, so announcements could be made clear as well.

oklahomamick · November 12, 2017, 02:50:05 PM

I'm here

bbtds · November 13, 2017, 01:14:23 PM

If I haven't checked in previously in the past 6 years, I, too, will now check in, even if it is 6 years late. If you haven't noticed my posts before, yes, I'm here.

Man they're are a lot of folks on this board who haven't been back since 2011. It's been a pretty good run for Valpo Basketball since 2011. Would love some of the old faces (& new) to join the conversation on the board. Would love to hear their opinions & thoughts.

I was just taking a look at the stats and this is technically the most popular year in terms of views on this board since it was created back in 2011.

Page Views per year:
1st: 2017 (5,354,326)
2nd: 2016 (5,079,087)
3rd: 2015 (3,669,608)
4th: 2013 (2,961,556)
5th: 2014 (2,397,751)
6th: 2012 (1,742,625)
7th: 2011 (881,627)

Interesting to see one of the top posters on this board is LaPorteAveApostle but I've never seen him post in my time lurking around the board. His last login was way back in March.

Good old LAA. He wanted to be a priest at one time and ended up a professional Catholic church musician in the Fort Myers, FL area. He always wanted Valpo to play in that Estero, FL tournament played where the Florida Everblades minor league hockey team plays.
