Boom - You are a class act bro. Please don't quit.

If you do go... Maybe we could setup a private invite only site with a yearly membership. Thoughts?

As Train said, sleep on it and come back stronger than ever.

Boom this is my first ever post. I have been going on this site for the past 3 months. Your top 10 things we learned posts are in my opinion, the best read on the internet. Even though I havn't been on here too long it would be horrible if you stopped. You're the man bro.

Boom.

True Story.

My boys & I go to Vegas the second weekend in September every year. Have done so for the past 11 years. This year as I was putting my college bets in on Friday morning (I have to do it on Friday morning every year b/c I get so drunk Friday night, by the time I wake up on Saturday morning still drunk, I'm not in the correct frame of mind to make smart bets).

So as I am sitting in the sportsbook with a couple of my buddies (I have two buddies that are degenerates like myself, the other guys I go with just smoke cigarettes like Vegas is almost sold out of them and sit at the blackjack tables yelling profanity laced sentences, as the dealer is typically saying "bust".. but anyway... so as I am sitting there looking at the board trying to decipher what games to play I reach into my pocket, grab my phone and tell my two buddies "let me check something real quick.. there is a guy I follow on Covers that is pretty good.. let me see what he has for the week"

If you hang around, sweet. I will be doing what I did in Vegas every week, checking in on you... If you don't, I understand as I too don't really grasp some of what goes on in here. A lot of it I think has to do with society in general (in all seriousness). People now a days are too damn sensitive, and have never been challenged. Therefore, if they read something they don't like, they automatically think they are either (1) being verbally abused or (2) feel that they are being slighted. In either case, it is apparent that some of these cats on here aren't looking at opinions from another perspectives.

If I don't see you around good luck in all future wagers. Just make sure you take Oklahoma next week damn it!!

Here's an thought...Just don't spend as much time on here and you'll probably relax and enjoy it a lot more. No reason to post constantly throughout the day especially in response to negative/idiotic posts.

This guy is right.

Boom, I read your threads on Sunday, but the rest of the week it's pointless for me to get involved in this soap opera. I happen to check it tonight, but typically once a thread gets over 60/70 comments it just turns into people talking shit back-and-forth. You're very knowledgeable, possibly one of the most knowledgeable around this forum, but your threads just turn into fuckin' carnivals every week. Not necessarily your fault, but like this poster said, don't get on here as much. I used to be more active around here, but I've minimized my time here significantly. Seriously, what is accomplished by an online back-and-forth argument over who got moosed worse? It's not worth it to spend a lot of time, and put up with the shit you get. I don't want you to leave, but I would fully understand it if you did. But my advice, limit your time spent here. Spend as much time as you want capping the games, but just don't spend as much time in this forum. Either way, it's been nice chatting about football with ya the last few years and I wish you the best

RLP without question you are one of my favorite posters. It's funny you just brought that game up....you know why? that was going to be my first "Dime" play in almost 5 years. I suspect Oklahoma to be a 7 point favorite in that game and I was gonna hammer them.....you stole my thunder. It was gonna be a HUGE hit here on covers.

But anyways, like I said....I think your post have much thought to them and I appreciate you. BOL to you in the future....BTW....if your buddies like to play black jack, I have a great betting scheme that maybe one day we can talk about...it's gold

just sent you a friend request to keep in touch...sad to see it come to this. I was hoping this wouldn't happen but knew one day you would have enough of the BS. I hope you reconsider but understand if you don't so good luck in whatever you decide. Just remember, for every douche bag out there, there are 10 people that have an interest (and respect) for what you say

Boom....you are very knowledgable and a good read every week. It will be a shame if you go. Your thread is one of the most read...for a reason. If you go, I wish you well. Much respect.

Things are just spinning out of control around here. I know its easy to say just ignore it.........but you guys have no clue the harassment that I get not just on here.....but via PM's and ETC.....

You have always been a good friend, Sorry...

agree man, we go way back.

who knows why these people do what they do. i posted something earlier today about what this forum should be versus what it actually is and i was shocked buy the feedback. of course some haters flat out disagreed, but the majority of people missed the point of the post altogether. we all have a common goal, to beat the books. i'm not saying everyone should get along and it be a perfect happy go lucky forum, but we should all help each other to achieve that goal.

but you gotta do what you gotta do man. BOL and stay in touch bro. we still need to have that beer next time i'm in greenville.

you realize how easy it is to free write? You act as if it's some gift...I could do it and so could 10 other posters....it's just like having your own radio show...go over 10 topics blasting different teams.....i guarantee you that if you left, which you won't do because people who leave dont write about leaving, they just leave, there are 10 other people here, who are actually humble and honest, who could write about 10 things that are going on in college football.

Boom....you're not special

Boom,

the only reason you get grief is because you have so many views. People respect you and your picks. There are some on here that say they make money off of fading you but at other times the lose their asses fading you. BUT I DOUBT THEY ALWAYS DO.

Your choice to leave but i bet it will be harder then you think. GL with your decision and gl with the bets.

Boom. I sure hate reading what I read. Like I told u the other week, I've been following u for the past few years. Just never joined. But this year I wanted to be more involved by askin questions to what I needed help with. I remember last year when those punk bitches did this shit and almost got u to quit. But good ole Train stepped in and talked u into not quitting. (I like train as well) think he's a good dude too. But it's sad that these punk ass bitches are doin it again. Notice anything different since u posted your news of quitting? Those SAME punk ass bitches haven't posted shit since. Nobody but people that enjoy what u write and are interested in your pics have posted anything. Everything I have seen is people wanting u to stay. I sure as hell would like to see u stay but if u don't I want u to know that u have helped me more than u know. I've only had 3 posts. All 3 were to u. Two questions and now this. But the past few years I have read and learned and did well with pics. Anyway with all that said, thank u. From one huge Gamecock fan to a huge Clemson fan. Ill be in Clemson for the game. Just wish I could buy u a beer for all the help u have given me that u don't even know about. Hope to see u stay but if not boom, BOL!! Except on November 24th. Lol

Boom,

Thanks for all your picks for the last few years, You are the only one I still follow every week. I understand if you decide to stop because of these haters who are jealous and mad that you are winning and they are not. Hope you are still around!
