Deep down inside, every Wiz fan expects it.

I grew up in Kentucky and the Chicago burbs (NW Indiana). Went to college at Michigan State and ended up in the DC area doing consulting work in 99. I'm also getting a Ph.D. in economics from George Mason.

Love MJ, love the Bulls, like the Wiz.

Now Married with a daughter, and has Wizard season tickets, go to all the games I can and even travel to the Philly games on the road with a friend who lives here but is from Philly. Born and Bred Dc native and sincerly hopes this Sniper is caught, it's very troubling ,I live in PG county now and this kid being shot happened around the corner from my house. So peace to all and Go Wizards.

Have you guys PM'ed any of the Real GM Wizard's regulars? I see WizardKev here from time to time, it would be nice to see some more of those guys over here.

**truebluefan** · 10-13-2002, 09:47 AM

realgm has tweaked their pms to avoid spamming. They even had mine broken. Even though i never used it after the ban was lifted on me. They seemed rather proud of punnishing me twice. All the pms that was talked about after i was allowed back in was left in the system. My pm still doesn't work but i dont need it. So spamming realgm is not a good idea. They are off limits and have been for a long time.

**BCH** · 10-13-2002, 11:08 AM

Wow, I can't believe they turned off PMs.

mambo47 · 10-14-2002, 01:20 PM

Jambo,
I'm in my 50's, I grew up in South America and
came to D.C. in '69. and went to H.U.

I now live in P.G. and I have been following the Bullets/Wiz
since they moved here.

I think Abe Pollen is one of the classiest PERSONS ever. I wish the 'skins owner would be classy enough to change THEIR name.

NorthEast Wiz · 10-15-2002, 06:55 AM

Mambo

I really have an soft spot for Abe too. He means well in everything he does and it a hopeless optimist.

He has done a lot for the city. I hope it gets recognized on a broad scale before he leaves us.

Maybe we can give him a title in the next few years.

Nice to have a big time 'baller' on the board. Where did you go to high school and what year did you graduate?

This sniper thing is nerve racking. Hopefully they close in soon.

jazzy1 · 10-15-2002, 07:20 PM

Whats up Northeast all I will say is I went to highschool in Pg county and graduated sometime in the 80's want to keep my anonimity if you know what I mean, I'm no big time baller just someone who was taught to play the game awhile ago by my dad and had love for it ever since, played with and against alot of cats who made it to the league, wasn't good enough to take it that far but played a few years overseas so I had fun all the way ,Man good idea about previewing each game interesting to see what all of you have to say about match-ups. We have really good discussion about the Wizards here and I look forward to that discussion all year long.

NorthEast Wiz · 10-15-2002, 07:43 PM

Hope I don't see you on the Post Office wall.

I think we will have a good time this year. It should be fun. We have some pretty knowlegable posters here and a lack of flamers so it should be nice.

jazzy1 · 10-15-2002, 09:01 PM

Man you're a trip I mean I'm not in any trouble nothing like that its just that someone could remeber who I am an since I don't know you all not real important to know who I am thats all, this year will be great.
