All very true, Guy. But I think 95% of the ones who used to contribute
here have left for specific team boards. There's proabably not too many
people left to post items. I know instead of checking r.s.b.w. every
day or two, now I usually just take a look once a month or every 6
weeks. (Newsguy has a long retention period.)

Some news groups are a casualty of that, but not all. I still try to
keep up with a half dozen or so.

: If USENET does fade away, I for one will miss it.

I definitely miss the "informational" days of r.s.b.w. This is where I
used to keep up with coaches, teams and players that I would not have
had a chance to know about by any other means.

: Been posting since perhaps 1990 I think, one way or the other.
: Not a long time in regular years, but *ages* in computer-time.

I go back a few years beyond that. But I lurked for a long time. There
was a lot of activity back then and I didn't have much to contribute
until I moved into CSU country.

: Anyway, thanks for the post (MWC area person here).

Last season 11 out of the 13 players went to the AD and complained
about Coach Denker. That's about as close as a full out revolt as you
can get. Fans were concerned about some of the players leaving the
program.

Fortunately, only one actually left. Anika Walseth left for parts
unknown. The rest of the team seems to be pleased with the change. As I
stated earlier, Jen Warden is infusing the program with a lot of
enthusiasm.

It will be exciting to see if the Rams can get back in the competitive
category in the MWC next season. Things really fell apart the second
half of last season, after the revolt.

That's about all of the news I have.

P.S. If nothing else, maybe we can turn r.s.b.w into a MWC NG. <grin>

Cheers,

Bob

In the informational days of r.s.b.w. this was a good site for a wide range
of basketball information, not just fans of one team. There was also quite
a bit technical information, too.

Maybe one good sign is that I have not seen any rubbish posted here for
a short time.
