Where are Slide and CI? - Phogge - 04-07-2022

Dire threads about the Ukraine, the collapse of Stanford football, the emergence of Stanford hoops as a D2 program, Gailtate bailing.... the Cardboard reads like The Fall of the House of Usher.

We need our two court jesters to lighten up the mood.

Well, if we're taking requests, I'd add garvin and redrum to the list.  Their back and forth was pure gold.

Slide made an appearance in the class of 2023 recruiting thread, so he is around.

My guess is that he has his hands full these days with his company’s response to the Ukraine war.

CI selling cattle. He’s busy

RE: Where are Slide and CI? - Phogge - 04-07-2022

Not that busy. He may be selling some of my cousin's cattle.

Baseball needs to get to work.  Rowing is gearing up.  We're in a precarious Director's Cup position, with last year's winner Texas scoring higher now than they did last year at this point.

"We are in a precarious Ted Cup position." (Editorial license).

No, Ukraine is in a precarious position. Don't be greedy, plus Arrillaga isn't around to fund another HOF wing to store more NACDA crystal.

BC is largely right.  tough days these days -- most uplift I can offer is my friends are safely out of Kiev and Kharkiv.  redrum checked in well; no word of late from garvin -- it must be my time to buy

RE: Where are Slide and CI? - BostonCard - 04-07-2022

Glad to hear your Ukrainian colleagues and friends are safe and sound.

Garvin was at the women’s Final 4.

Garvin and I sat together at the Final Four and I assure you, his fandom is not diminished.  I won't speak for him, but I think it's unlikely he will be back to regular posting.  Part of the fun for him was making provocative statements and ribbing the "soulless Communists" on the board.  He and I often disagree on political and other issues and can personally tease each other without it turning into an escalating death match.  We both agreed that similar discussions are not possible on a message board anymore, even on a special place like the Cardboard.  (We also agreed that it is the fault of the times and the heightened political attitude of nearly everyone.)  Garvin is on Facebook if anyone wants to reach out to him there.  Or, better yet, look him up at a Final Four or bowl game and meet up with us over drinks.  Even soulless Communists are welcome if they are willing to buy a round and can endure discussions about the unequaled beauty of Dana Delaney!  
Cheers,
Pete F.

Dana Delaney!  Thanks for the smile.  Between her and rants about redrum (who championed Uma Thurman, iirc) - and specifically his prowess (okay, lack thereof) on the football field in matches against the Daily Californian - well . . . good times those.

P.S.  Good to hear that garvin still rallying for post-season events.  Was Sue there, too?  And good for you for making the FF roadie.  Would really have liked to see the Stanford women play one more game.

RE: Where are Slide and CI? - fullmetal - 04-08-2022

I was almost there -- could only swing a flight out for the championship game, but it was not to be, alas.  UConn delenda est.

Garvin, as an advocate of the press, would always fight for people's right to voice unpopular opinions.  He was always more reasonable than his rhetoric seemed.  I lament a missed opportunity to meet up with Pete and Garvin this season, but maybe another will come up.

Next year, in Dallas!

RE: Where are Slide and CI? - Phogge - 04-08-2022

Was that Delaney playing Josie in Tombstone?

RE: Where are Slide and CI? - BobK - 04-08-2022

I think we are discussing Dana Delany and yes she was in Tombstone
Body of Proof also which was great

RE: Where are Slide and CI? - Phogge - 04-08-2022

I preferred Joana Pecula who played Big Noe Kate. HOT!
