Yeah, although I can't remember anymore exactly how it went down. There were a few different platforms we used to chat on back then, and I think most of it has faded into the ether.

Any stories you want to tell us about the golden era of the NBBA? Any Brian/KDB stories? Any managers you beefed with? Who had your lunch money?

Juicepats was my smack whipping boy, for sure. One thing that was neat for me was realizing that one of the other managers was someone who I'd met IRL based off of not much and a hunch. Most of the early seasons were just everyone figuring out who could challenge KDB in any given season. He was always a notch above the rest of us.

I have to say when I saw Milwaukee Lethargy was on the top of the standings in your D-II league and was seemingly coasting his way to promotion, I thought, wow Shikago is really gonna do it after all these years . . . HE’S BACK! I’m gonna be re-united with my mentor: the greatest mentor of all time that single handedly contributed to my BB success and 9 NBBA titles. But then you defeated him and everything was back to normal. And I was like, oh yeah, I should have figured that was gonna happen with a team amply named “Lethargy.”

Sounds about how I would imagine it back in those days. I started playing BB in s8 and I remember by then KDB vs Ice storm BC was cooking up for a hot second. I chatted with the manager of Ice Storm BC when he tanked down to D-IV before he inevitably retired. I was surprised to see him in D-IV catting it up with us plebs in the forums, but didn’t realize he was on his way out.

Do you have any spicy Milwaukee Lethargy stories? Did you two ever face off?

I just now saw your above comment. Damn! I forgot about this one. That’s a good read. I think I even suggested interviewing Demon Hoosier, as he was a D-II league mate of mine before my promotion into the NBBA (which is where I learned about his time in the NBBA good old days). Didn’t you have a poll or a suggestion thread a week or so before each interview?

You might have been. I think I had a handful of people I talked to for ideas either here onsite or at the USA offsite. The hard part was finding enough people with a unique story. I miss the size and engagement of the community back then :(

Look at us! All pleasuring one another.


Apparently 'Eff You' is less of a greeting and more of a Friday night activity. Who knew?
