So ladies and gents we have a brand new addition to our crew of frontpagers/moderators on Bruins Nation.
bruinhoo who has been a big part of this community for a while, is joining us as Patroclus. We are particularly excited about P joining us on the homepage because hopefully he will help alleviate the angst of all the BNers from Bay Area, who might think the frontpage has been heavily stacked against them (as Bellerophon has been the only Bay Area Bruin holding the fort for Niners and Warriors on the home page). Now with Patroclus on board, there will be no room for complaining when we once again pimp the Lakers or the Dodgers/Halos during hoops/baseball season. :-)
Patroclus is another recent Bruin alum, who we think will join Tydides and Bellerophon in providing that "young alum" pov on UCLA athletics (rest of us are gradually heading towards "geezer" status). Oh not that we planned this, he is yet another law school graduate on the frontpage.
Anyway, join us in officially welcoming Patroclus on the home page.
GO BRUINS.

Congrats, P!
Well deserved!
bruinhoo is now one with the immortals.

I have news for you mods -
Many of you have already achieved geezer status. You just don’t realize it yet. Wait until you notice at your next party that you’re over in the corner with your buddies discussing what your various urologists just said. That’s a sure sign that you’ve made it (one of many such signs.)
And congrats to bruinhoo, a budding geezer if ever I saw one.
Ever the comidian, Fox
My old man’s family tries to get together for breakfast every once in a while. Anyway, one time my brother joined them, and he said the vast majority of the conversations were about their various aliments and medical procedures. My brother then called me and said, “I had to get out of there. I felt like I aged 40 years just listening to them.”

Thanks, Fox
And if complaining that one’s knee can predict the weather substitutes for those more personal party comments, I am likely closer to full geezer status than I might hope.

Thanks Fox (I think)
And if the ability to use one’s knee as a barometer is another sign, then I am well on my way to geezerdom.

Congratulaions, Bruinhoo!

Congrats Patroclus!
Here is a question I have always wondered about Nestor, why the greek themes for the frontpagers? I get Patroclus and Achilles since they fought the Trojans in the Iliad, is that the reason for all of them?
You got it
I don’t think that I am giving away any great FP secret in confirming that.

If Bochy coached the Warriors Bengie Molina would start every game at PG.
Congrats!

I may work with the Waves, but I'm still a Bruin!
speaks to the strength of BN
Congrats, P. Props to you, Nestor, and all who keep BN what it is. Living out of state, I rely on BN daily (granted, even if I still lived in SoCal, I wouldn’t need to bother with the fishwrap or any other “MSM” anyway). This is a great community, and I know Patroclus will help make it even better.

Credit to all the frontpagers
This was a group decision and we are excited about P!
Now let’s hope in next year or so we can have a student or two join us on the home page.
Congrats! and thanks to all of you guys for a great site!
Does this mean we can now seek legal counsel via BN Fanposts? =p
Welcome!!!!

Still waiting on the secret handshake...
But does the mod status let me go to the front of the line at the BN cafeteria?

The pressure is on now
You’ve got to step your game up now that you’re a frontpager. Luckily, you have some of us frontpagers, like me, who set an extremely low standard, especially with regards to typos and grammar.

Not to worry, Rye
The Grammar and Syntax Subcommittee will be ever-vigilent, a’s wil’l b’e th’e su’b-committe’e o’n apostrophe’s.
(The Apostrophe Subcommittee had a glorious moment yesterday. Mrs. Fox 71 and I met some friends in Orlando at a hotel, and there was binder on the concierge’s desk among other restaurant binders that had a label on the front that said “Steak’s and Other Fine food.” I told the desk clerk that I was an English teacher and the label was making me ill. When I returned at the end of the day, the apostrophe had been removed. Of course, the desk clerk told me that she had “like fixed it.” Obviously, my work over there is not done, but I still celebrate that one small victory.)
Great family
Although I don’t always agree with the posts and comments made by the members and moderators here at BN, this is one true Bruin home. I’m always very grateful for all the work put in by all members providing insights and thought regarding our beloved Bruins. With that being said welcome P and thank you for all the hard work you will put in to make this “home” even better.
