November 13, 20205 yr Everyone... Let's be optimistic. What do you say about putting together a BGP get-together right after the basketball season ends and (hopefully) things get closer to "normal"? I've enjoyed BGPreps over the years, but I've only gotten to meet a few of you. A few have been kind enough to come up to me at my broadcasts and introduce themselves, and I've been thrilled to meet every one of you - but there's still so many folks I've not gotten a chance to get to know personally. What do you say, 'Ru? Thoughts? Doesn't have to be anything formal.... CM

We have had several in the past and after the first one @Mr.Network put on they have been small crowds.
November 13, 20205 yr Author Doesn't have to be big multitudes....I'd love to see a "crowd" of a dozen.....not a big deal....just a thought for the masses to chew on.....

I’ve been to a couple, but it’s probably been 4 or 5 years since one was organized. Both had crowds of 10-12 or so. And thinking about it, only a couple from those get together are still active.

And that's kind of my motivation....I've started noticing that many of the frequent posters from when I joined this site aren't around anymore.... I'd love to meet Dragonfire, Ram, Ru, jumperdad, ConverseAllstar, Colonels Wear Blue, TigerPride, Voice of Reason, 16thbasketballfan, 4 Quarters, Hoop Junkie, Jack of All Trades, gchs_uk9, The Professor, purple88, mcpapa, and so many others I've gotten to know online, but who I haven't had the opportunity to meet in person. (sorry - I know I'm leaving off so many names, from Bowling Green to Ashland....) It's been great to get to know the ones I have had the opportunity to know in person. Maybe it's because I regret not having met a couple of those folks who have moved on - or even passed on - or maybe it's because I turn 59 in January and am starting to feel the effects of "things I haven't done." I don't know. Is there any support out there for a quick get together after basketball season ends - when things might be a little more "normal" and a get-together of over 10 people might not be so frowned upon? CM

CM If the season is played this year and they let fans in, I will make a strong effort to bump into you at some point. I'll vote for the get together after the season. On closing, I really like OC in the 8th this year.
November 14, 20205 yr Author Please do, 4 Quarters! If I'm busy and can't talk, at least make sure I see you and leave me a note. But I'd love to chat for a bit. I typically go on air 30 minutes prior to the varsity tip. Post-game lasts maybe 15 minutes; 20 if the coach comes up for a post-game interview. I'm working on the 8th Region preview now.... ?
