Yes. D-League thread founded for wildcatdonf in late-2011 by @KaizerSosay . GYERO folks got Donfather banned for 1 day. Really upset him, so D-League founded as a direct response.
THE NEW D-LEAGUE

Good to hear from you Sawnee. Used to love hearing about your fruit trees. I visited Bert a few years ago and he and his wife could not have been more accommodating. Just salt of the earth type folks. Sad that he is gone.(aka SawneeCat)
I spoke with Bert shortly before he passed away and he told me he thought WildcatDon has also passed. As you know Don suffered from a very severe stroke several years ago. Another one Bert told me may have passed was Railroad Cat.
Over the years Bert and I developed a close friendship and I got to know his son and daughter as well as his wife. They are as good as goodness gets. Bert would discuss several of the old timers from the D League and the good times we all had. And of course we discussed our grandchildren too.His granddaughter recently graduated from UK and he was so proud and rightfully so.
Bert was a student of history and a cousin I have, who lives in Mississippi, wrote a book several years back and I told her to get in touch with Bert as he would be a big help in her research. She did and he was kind enough to not only contribute but provide some very old photographs she included in her book. She credited Bert and he was so proud he actually called me to thank me. I told him we thank HIM, he provided the valuable information. That was the type of man Bert was, the best of the best.
Good luck to the D-League and I enjoyed interacting with y'all for those many years. Now I will fade away.
I see there is a new wrestling thread, so it appears non sports threads will be permitted.
Congrats on retaining your job in the merger, Hall Monitor!
Nightwish really seems to be a jovial type fellow....
And, HE is the one calling others mad.

I get the sense he pops balloons at kids birthday parties....
Good to hear from you. We may be back down in your general area at the end of February. We might even go a bit south and finally watch the mermaid show. Hope all is well.(aka SawneeCat)

Ballgame tomorrow. I'm kinda of excited to see if this 2nd half team will show up early tomorrow night.
Oh, the dermatologist's appointment was OK. 3 biopsies so TBD.
Bummed to hear about Swanee. He was always, and I mean always, a cool dude. The way he was treated in the pol thread is outright criminal and proved many a point that was made in that thread. Also nice to see that Monday Nitro has finally taken off his mask. Front Runner tried repeatedly to warn people. Looks like he was right again.
Aggies at Vols. May watch. My daughter lives 60 mi NW of UT campus.
Go Aggies!
Go Aggies!
The D, is also known for prayers!!! My sister has surgery Thursday, so please pray for her! We thought it was going to be delayed because she needed a PET scan, but they didn't have any openings, GOD answered our prayers and an opening came open today, the scan revealed that the cancer has not spread, so her surgery is still on for Thursday! GOD IS GREAT!
Miss the stories and the pictures.(aka SawneeCat)
