DawgDoc, I see all your posts, must be your computer (guess you can't see this then.....lol)

Steve, thanks for the quick reply. I would lo0ve mto have my old name back if that's possible. I've had "DawgDoc" for many years on this board. Thanks again for your help & your right windows 8 is a pain.
As always, GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Membership has been open for 3 months or thereabout. It takes a lot of time keeping up with spammers. We have installed new software to cut off bogus registrations and new members will have their messages moderated until they prove they are here to talk football. It sounds complicated but it simple physics. This board is so good we are a constant target of spammers and others trying to disrupt us.

Buc, you are keeping us all thinking, but maybe not posting, during what is usually a very slow time. Last year your preseason posting got us all going well before the season started. Your posts are thoughtful and well written. I read and think about each one and all the comments too.

In addition to our regular web site traffic we are being followed by over 2000 people on Facebook and 2500 on Twitter. Those two sources add about 10000 people to readership that don't appear in forum stats. Those folks do a lot of reading, not much posting. But they do click "Like" buttons. I am integrating social media into dawgs.com to fully enjoy the experiences offered by that platform.

The membership will be growing. As you can see I have started the summer remodeling job but there is one thing that will never change.. The Dawg Talk Forum and the great bunch of guys that are members. You guys are what people are reading. And the reason it gets read is it is real conversation with real facts and ideas.

If I tried to make money on the site I would have to go to smack talk and tabloid stories. This site is dedicated to the Dawgs, not the money changers.

Just sayin..IMHO

Just a quick question, and it's part of the reason I am not around as much... What happened with the Tapatalk plug in, because I can't get in on my mobile
any longer. I just get a message saying site management has Tapatalk disabled.

Still trying to navigate the new digs, and it seems I lost everyone on my friends list.

Steve I hit the new topic by accident and now it want cancel and let me go to dawgs.com thanks

Went back and read Buc's original post for the third time. Sometimes it takes things a while to swim around in my head before i can fully understand them. And for the life of me I can't understand the new SEC TV deal.

I can only see attendance dropping off severely in Sanford Stadium. This is a bad deal for any season ticket holder who does not live within about two hours from Athens.

Why in the world would I, TN Dawg, want to send $1,000 to the GEEF, pay $960 for tickets, $1,440 in gas ($60/tank, 4 tanks round trip, 6 games), and $1,800 in food & beverages for a football season? A total of about $5,200, which might be a low estimate, when I can possibly watch every game on TV from the La-Z-Boy.

I have had season tickets since I graduated in '87. My parents had season tickets since '72. I am seriously thinking of giving them up. If it weren't for the kids asking to go to games, I would have given them up this year.

Am I missing something? For now I remain TN Dawg.

Go Dawgs! Sic 'Em!

PS - Site looks great Stevedawg!

No, believe you got it all.
