Farewell to the old board

[hhcscott]

Now that all of us have migrated to the new board it is time to shut down the old board. We wanted to let you know that we would be shutting it all down this weekend to give you all a chance to recover any posts or information from that board before it went away forever.

Thanks for all if the great times on the old site. Looking forward to even better times here.

Here to the new times ahead.

Is there any truth to the rumor that it will be re-purposed for volleyball usage?

Damn right on that one, son.

Old board? Maybe that's why we have been missing so many layups recently.

At somber occasions like this, music best expresses my inner feelings.  Goodbye old friend.......

Bagpipes fire me up more than any kind of music in the world.  And I truly mean it.

It isn't always going to be this gray.

Absolutely. Have you seen/heard Tartanic

Good night, sweet prince.

Cip, another superb effort.  I remember that song like it was yesterday.  What I forgot, thankfully , was the choreography.

Silverback, if you golf (and even if you don't), you should check out the The Prairie Club just southwest of Valentine.  An authentic Scottish bagpiper stands by the 18th green in full regalia each night toward dusk and plays a few songs.  Looking out over the Snake River canyon, cocktail in hand, viewing a colorful sandhills sunset, listening to the bagpiper--it doesn't get any better than that.

I know there was some discussion previously about retiring the Devaney Dungeon and going with a different name for the Men's hoops forum (for reasons which are obvious).  Any more progress towards that end?

[Silverbacked1]

HB haven't been to the golf course there.  But will put it on my bucket list now, thanks.

One of my favorite places on earth.  The website gives some idea of the Nebraska beauty. www.theprairieclub.com

OMG and that the first time I have ever typed that.

 

Will try to get my wife out there over spring break this year.

 

I don't golf, but I do like to look at quality scenery. 

 

I also think that the panhandle of Nebraska is as good if not better than the Rockies.    Yes, I said that.

The Prairie Club is in a pretty nice spot, and they spent a TON of money on its construction, doing little (yet expensive) things like having the power line that runs next to highway 97 buried along the boundary of their property so as to ensure as pristine a view from the club as possible.

 

BTW, that's about the only way you're gonna know you are near the club, because there are no signs at the turnoff from the highway and there is virtually no part of the course that is visible from the highway.

Also, it's very near to Merritt Reservoir, which offers plentiful recreation opportunities in itself, such as the Nebraska Star Party  http://www.nebraskastarparty.org which is apparently one of the bigger stargazing events there is.

 

(and a person hasn't lived until they've witnessed a clear night in the sandhills during a new moon, the milky way is bright enough to almost read by...truly breathtaking)

Our cabin in Colorado is at 11,000 feet so we are above tree line.

 

We are also about 8 miles from the nearest town.

 

So on the new moon nights, you go out and one can not believe the amount of stars there are.  It is truly magical.
