    (side note: Is this the new forum for us MotownSports folks who've been on that forum for a decade? What happened to the other one? I'm old and confused, lol)

    I sold MotownSports in June of 2020 after 20 years of ownership.  The new owner has apparently stopped paying attention to the site and forums, which are  malfunctioning.  These forums were setup early in 2021 to support my other websites, such as MotownPistons.com.  Users from MotownSports have found there way over here during the most recent malfunction at MTS and have begun to use these forums.

    Glad you finally stopped by Betrayer!

    2021 Detroit Pistons PreSeason Games

    I found the Pistons to be very fun to watch last year despite their final record.  They were in most games until the end and the players on the floor were busting their butts night after night... Most seemed like they had something to prove after being given up on from other teams.  Reminded me of the early 2000's before the Pistons took off and won a championship. 

    I do find it quite amusing that many predictions I have seen for this season have the Pistons only winning a couple more games (23 to 25 wins) then they did last year (record in 2020 was 20-52).  Sure these predictions show improvement, but the Pistons record last year was with a shortened season (72 games)...  so I would think they could do better and top 30 wins this season with an 82 games schedule.

    It seems like most of the names have found there way over here, unless they're using new names I haven't seen Yoda or Del though, anybody know there whereabouts? 

    I'd like to get Betrayer over here...  Have not seen him yet and have reached out to him.  Our Pistons forum needs some action.

    At the time Tiger Stadium closed, I was working as an employee of the company who held the contrat to run the Tigers website.  I have two fond memories from the final game at Tiger Stadium, which I got to spend in the press box:

    1. The reaction of the folks in the press box when Robert Fick drilled his HR...  Typically the working press showed no favoritism during a game and cheering was frowned upon.  That all changed when Fick hit that homer as everyone seemed to burst out and cheer. I don't think anyone cared at that moment!
    2. The final game also brought out some celebrities, the most exciting to me was Tom Wopat.  Yes, Luke Duke from the Dukes of Hazzard...  I grew up watching that show in the late 70's early 80's, so sad to say that was a pretty cool moment for me.  Too bad Daisy wasn't with him...

    Believe it or not I have been trying to get into the old forum and it always said "waiting for admin approval."  Is this a private club and I'm going to be booted? 

    I believe it. In order to gain access, the admin needed to approve your account registration. Unfortunately, they do not seem to be paying much attention to the site these days, therefore you and others were stuck waiting…

    Aloha!

    Are there any plans to add College Sports threads, or did they become such a problem before that it's not worth the hassle?

    It's a very good possibility a college sports forum will be added to this message board in the near future.  When I built this MB out earlier this year, I focused more on the 4 pro teams from Detroit to accompany the new sports websites I created (MotownTigers, MotownLions, etc.).

    Yeah, for some reason... I had a political post and it disappeared.

    I moved it to the political forum. Can you not see it there?

    Ah, I had the political forum turned off from anyone being able to see it except for me. I’ve fIxed that now. Your message should be viewable there now.

    Ex-Detroit Tigers OF Anthony Gose reportedly back in the majors as pitcher with Cleveland

    I hope Gose gets a chance to pitch and has another opportunity at an MLB career.  He seemed like a decent guy when he was with the Tigers, just didn't have the bat to stick.  Saw him pitch a bit in the Olympics and he didn't look too bad.  With all the pitchers teams role out to the mound these days, it's nice to see him get a chance.
