Recruiting BN Style

PrintIt's been nice to see recruiting pipelines open up for our football team. And, obviously, it's hard to complain about basketball recruiting as the anticipation builds for a new season.
But that's nothing my friends. Well, at least it's nothing compared to the recruiting gets I'm pleased to announce on BN today.
First off, [Bellerophon] is no more. I'm happy to say that [he] has accepted our offer to join us as a moderator. So, without further ado, let me introduce Bellerophon. Let's here it for B. Just read any of this guy's stories, and you'll know why we like him. And it doesn't hurt to have a BN mod from Northern California in the house.
Secondly, one of our long time members gets what I can only call a permanent "bump." Our resident baseball expert and non-revenue sport guru, ryebreadraz, is henceforth an "author" on BN. That means that rye has been given a few of the keys to the castle and can, among other things, post freely on the front page. Of course, we largely did this - not to give special recognition to rye's excellent contributions - but to avoid the hassle of always having to bump his stories to the front page.
You might ask: how did we manage this recruiting coup? Well:
That's right. Taking a page from our friends across town, we used what we had to. Cold. Hard. Cash. (Photo credit brahsome.)
So, let's hear it for these guys. Another example of this community growing and becoming more vibrant because of your contributions.
Have a happy Halloween all.
GO BRUINS.

I was wondering what was keeping you...
The contributions are great ,and I am always happy to read them. Now I don’t have to dig through the diaries as much.

Is anyone else having trouble loading pictures on their posts? I have tried and tried and it doesn’t seem to work…
All I got was a T-Shirt
and a tote bag. Clearly the 5* recruits roll differently than the rest of us.

Congrats Gents
I’ve always enjoyed reading your posts.
In fact, so much so I just snuck away and signed on to congratulate rye and nor… about time we get blackberry posting capabilities!
Happy halloween everyone:)
Congrats B. and rye
Always enjoy reading youse.
I hope I’m not violating anonymous-handle social graces in asking, but what is a “Bellerophon”, anyway?
No problem
As you might have noticed, every moderator on BN has taken a name from a prominent Greek hero from the Iliad (the symbolism vis-a-vis our rival and their poor choice of a mascot should be obvious).
Originally, I wanted to be Diomedes, but the handle had already been swiped. Instead, I went outside the Iliad and chose Bellerophon, the Greek hero who tamed and rode the winged horse Pegasus.

You're too young to remember "Forbidden Planet"
Walter Pidgeon and Anne Francis were the only survivors from the space ship Bellerophon. (That was on here in Tampa last night.)
Well-deserved
I don’t post often, but I read almost every word that appears on this blog. These guys have been bringing great stuff here for a long time; I look forward to their posts as much as I do those of the long-time moderators. Keep up the great work, gentlemen.
