Your screen name is what? And what about that avatar??

I'm a huge University of Tennessee Volunteers fan, although we pretty much suck at football right now! I was born in 1959, therefore Volzfan59.

Go vols! I grew up in Tennessee during the Manning years. Those were good times.

I live in East Knox County, about 9 miles from Neyland Stadium. It's still great and I think Pruitt will get us back, as long as the fans give him time.

I was on the opposite side. I lived in Tipton county north of Memphis through elementary and middle school before moving to Missouri.

I am born and raised I’m Missouri, and I am addicted to float trips for smallmouth.

The avatar avitar is a proud symbol of a group of guys that I used to hang out with, used to talk to every day, and still love like family.  

FTFY — Yeah......ditto. People ask me about what MFU is and I just tell them we're a loose band of malcontents......and sometimes we fish. It's an exclusive club, don't ask to join, you wouldn't want to anyway.

Harps is just what some of my fishing buddies call me, shortened version of my last name.

Cool! I told that exact same story as a younger man, only I used "smugglers" instead of "malcontents". Got some pretty good mileage out of that one. 👍

Every since the days of the Conservation Cafe and throughout the many, many forums I belong to I just use my last name.  Gets to confusing when people use different names for different forums.   Back in the day I also never wanted to hide behind a random screen name so I thought my real last name would be best.  It works out good now days because some forums require you to use real names so I never had to change a thing.

Ahhhh, the Cafe. It could be pretty wild there. But I met some good folks there that I still fish with on occasion. Here's a snapshot from the wayback machine.

I can't recall my screen name from the Café.  I liked it.
