Name: Andy

Age: 26

Status: single, but long-term girlfriend  now been married to her for about 5 months

Occupation: unemployed; starting law school in the fall semester and a half of law school left, then will work for a law firm in Greensboro, NC

Residence: Morrisville, NC (basically Raleigh)

College: University of North Carolina (past and current student)

Grew Up: Greensboro, NC

Screen Name: An accident, actually. The tarheel part is obvious. When I created the screen name, way back when I was in high school, I intended to add on the year of UNC's last basketball championship (at the time, 1993). Typed 1991 by accident, and didn't care enough to change it.

Favorite NBA Player: seems almost like cheating to be a Jordan guy, but yeah, he was the man. Grew up watching Jordan shred through the playoffs (too young to remember a Jordan that actually lost playoff series) to the tune of that epic NBA on NBC music and the dulcet tones of Marv Albert.

Other faves: Jawad Williams, Steph Curry, Lebron (how can you not love watching him play), Shawn Marion (must've had him on my fantasy team six years in a row) my current favorite UNC player is Reggie Bullock - love him, think he has a solid NBA future ahead of him if he stays healthy).

Favorite WIS moment: when my Charlotte team in the All-Time Regressive league finally won a championship after losing in the finals four straight times, to several different teams. Shouldve won at least two titles with that team, but the one was sweet. Also, I was the first person to win a DIA national title in GD - at Tulsa, in Rockne world, a long, long time ago.  Still love these. But now my favorite is being the title holder in both ODL and NCIH 52 at the same time a year or so ago.

Favorite real-life moments: watched - UNC's bball national title in 2005 (when I was a freshman at UNC - absolute bedlam in Chapel Hill). I'll also add in game 6 of the World Series last year, Cards vs Rangers (I'm a big Cardinals fan). Hometown boy Freese hits a 2-out, 2-strike, 2-run triple in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game, then a walkoff homer in the 11th to win it. Most exciting baseball game I ever watched - not in person, unfortunately, but it was still amazing on TV).

participated - winning an intramural title at UNC (in indoor soccer); winning a crucial tennis match in high school against our biggest rival in a 3rd set tiebreak after coming from behind; hitting four threes and being named MVP of my high school student-faculty bball game

edits are in bold, now. thanks for pulling this up evil!

Name: Josh

Age: 32

Status: single

Occupation: Producer/Director for TV News; singer/songwriter

Residence: Chattanooga, TN

College: UT-Chattanooga

Grew Up: I traveled a lot as a kid. My parents were musicians, and so I spent much of my childhood on the road. Chattanooga was where they settled, though, so that's where I finished growing up

Screen Name: online alias from way back. was a character's name in a game I used to play. I always had "ash" in my name, and at the time I was big into Robert Jodran's "Wheel of Time", so I put Ash with a character from there (Ishamael) and came out with Ashamael.

Favorite NBA Player: Charles Barkley. Any former Tar Heel or Crimson Tide player gets nods, too.

Favorite WIS Moment: Hard to pick.  I'm going to say my first ODL... I think that was when I really knew I had a handle on this thing.  I came in, relatively unknown on the theme circuit and absolutely dominated the toughest league in the sim.  A few years later, tying uvasooner, who, in my opinion, is the best owner of all-time in wisnba, for 3rd on the all-time championships list in a 110 less seasons & gunning for #1 in less than half that owner's attempts.

Favorite Real Life Sports Moment: watched - 'Bama's domination of LSU in the 2012 national championship game. took part in -the summer I did a camp with a bunch of inner-city middle school kids. We played basketball every afternoon. It was so fun, even though I was out of shape and hadn't played ball in years at the time.

I knew that you had to a lawyer type dh555. You are very smart for such a young pup. Ash are you sure that you are just 32 years old? You have a great deal of knowledge about the basketball sim and are a great teacher of it. I'm beginning to feel old now ;/

Screen Name - when I started on the site I used davidbmiller.. then what I started teaching I used WIS for a statistics course and I didn't want my students to see everything I posted on here.. so I changed my username to logain.. a character from the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (and now Brandon Sanderson)

Favorite NBA Player: The peak of my sports fandom was in Junior High and High School.. and I grew up in Illinois.. so Jordan and Pippen are my two favorite NBA players. Interestingly, I was living in Ohio when Lebron was drafted and he has become my favorite current player.

Favorite Real Life Sports Moment: I really don't know. I think for me my best sports memories are just sitting out on the deck listening to baseball on the radio with my grandpa.

lol - you mean me? I don't see one from dh anywhere, although I'd be interested to see it.

vance, yours is definitely one of the most interesting, considering you married an actual princess. And as impressed as you are with us young guys, I'm always impressed that the more distinguished fellows like you are able to take time out of your busy lives to come on here and dominate. And that you all have learned to use the internet so well

Status: Married, one 13yr old step daughter living at home
Occupation: Soon to be retired, High School science teacher. Jv girl's basketball coach. Who the heck would want to do Varsity with all the responsibility nowadays? I'm getting to old for that. Anymore they aske me if we've filled out our travel bus requistion forms or turned in form #503b for new uniforms and my standard response is, "IDK ask coach Howard." :)
Residence: Phoenix, AZ
Education: BS Youngstown State     Masters  Arizona State
Favorite WIS Moment: The 2 championships I remember, (I know it's been awhile) was when I won a college league with ASU players, many sim versions ago and when I won a dual franchise league with Phoenix and Boston. I knew Boston struggled sometimes for guards and Phoenix struggles for post players so I paired the 2 up and coasted most of the season. 
Favorite NBA players: Paul Westphal and Alvan Adams because I've coached both of their kids and I've actually set in Alvan's box for a few Sun's gams.
Favorite Real Life Sports Moment: I'm convinced that in my lifetime I will never see the Sun's win a championship or the Brown's win a Super Bowl. I think Ohio State (I was born in Ohio) will win another title under Urban Meyer, but any Cleveland or Arizona pro teams, probably not in my lifetime. So the Dbacks winning the world series over the Yankees and Ohio State beating Miami when neither team was given much of a chance, are my 2 most memorable moments. And oh ya, the Indians losing in game 7 to the Marlins after beeing up 3 games to 2 really stunk!!!! And don't even mention the, "fumble," or "the drive."
Things in Life to be proud of: I was Phoenix Sun's ball boy back in the day and I have seen and touched Stive Nicks of Fleetwood Mac's breasts and she enjoyed it!!
