Happy Anniversary!
Ok, like in my own life - I am a couple days late on this. But we just passed the 1 year anniversary of the new Hoopsville (June 27th). If you would have told me we would get to 100+ members when I started this site last summer I don't think I would have believed you. I assumed we would draw a few folks from 247 and maybe be able to limp along long enough to allow a couple of us old timers to communicate during the season.
Instead, the board was very active during the season and still continues to have enough conversation duirng the summer to keep things moving.
Thanks to everyone for your support and for keeping this "the Masterpiece Theatre of the Internet". It (mostly) isn't juvenile and mean (except where TWWNBN are concerned)(and Will Wade)(and if they were actually any good, which they aren't, Penny and Vandy)(and people who like mid range jumpers). But still.
Plus, like all things Hoopsville, the very first post (this one) veered off topic to Flannery O'Conner books. So anyway, thanks for hanging out here and talking Vol hoops - and mustard, and beer, and Flannery O'Conner, and cool high school basketball gym, and why the mid range juper should be outlawed in 50 states.

Don’t forget Spacex!!!! Thanks again, pdl. You are a saint. and Spacex. Though I am not really that interested. I do have a pretty cool Dobsonian telescope - good enough to see Saturn clearly and even Jupiter and its moons. So there is that.

I use it to get good looks at the ISS, Hubble and the new Chinese space station - Tianhe.

I’m disappointed. Not a single nod to mustard.

I just had to be wrong so pdlglm could correct me. It hasn’t happened in a while. Cheers. Thanks for getting this going and keeping it going. Thanks for our lead recruiter in Cherokee.
I will be making south carolina style mustard based bbq sauce in honor of this.

Oh yeah. It was basically straight overhead here. I use the other site because it shows the other satellites. Basically, there’s something to see about every morning and night.

scribe has gone off the grid again! Search party being organized. You know how those creative writing types are though, he's probably off finding himself again...

I will be making south carolina style mustard based bbq sauce in honor of this. That reminds me, we're heading to the annual 4th of July barbecue some of our friends put on, and there is always a homemade BBQ sauce contest. The same handful of people win it every year. Down here, you don't get a lot of fans of the mustard/vinegar type sauces. We go for sweet/smoky sauces. I need to start experimenting this evening and see if I can come up with a winner. I'm not above going to the store and buying an Alabama white barbecue sauce and passing it off as my own. I think the novelty might get me some votes.
