Memoir of an Outbound Scroller
By @lee_carvallo_12
Dearest Brothers, Sisters and Wanderers of this Celestial Plane Known as The Red Sea Scrolls (RRS) -
The reports of my demise on these scrolls ARE NOT greatly exaggerated. After 15 (or so) years on these hallowed scrolls, my time has come to an end. I was recently issued a three-month hiatus to the SHU, or Chile, or Dean’s Basement, or what have you, and much like Juan-Dell, I have made the decision to find another Husker message board that will still allow me to achieve my dreams and goals.
I distinctly recall working at my first big boy job in Houston, sitting in my small office and perusing these scrolls. That was 2006. How much we have aged, how little we have grown.
I have enjoyed riding out the highs, but mostly lows with y’all scrollers. You do not take bad new or losing well, but addicts need addicts and that is what we are. Fanatical addicts with mostly unreasonable expectations that our beloved program will dumb its way back to glory. But at least we were all in it together. A dysfunctional support group with woefully underqualified counselors. Does it make any of us feel better about the current and ongoing sad state of affairs? No. Does it make us better people? Also, no, but we had each other.
I will miss these dysfunctional message board friendships I have forged with many of you the most. But, and this won’t make any sense to most here, I will miss the antagonistic relationships with many scrollers even more.
Indulge me by taking a look at this:
"You’re an awful poster, I’m amazed you haven’t been sent to Chile. This is like Hilary v Sandusky... nobody wins. Literally anyone else was better." - @nwj03a
And this:
“yore a circus act. a phony. ya might be a Husker fan, i'll give ya that much...yore a message board star, with a circle of crones (some of them yourself), with an agenda to belittle everyone, including the team you proclaim to love...you think yore better than everyone...you play to the masses (lemmings) on here to get yucks. i imagine you've done that yore whole life...you were the guy in grade school who got yuks & popularity from the dumbasses by makin smart remarks about the unpopular, the nerds, the different, the shy, the afflicted, the poor...
if you worked solo you prolly couldnt survive. you need yore buddies to support you...you post seldom anymore cos i'm in yore head & afraid of what to say...you provide no value to this board despite what you think, & ne'er have...
you don't discuss Husker sports like the better posters on here do; whom you troll and belittle....now, what say ye?” - @uncle-gus
That’s the good stuff. That’s what kept me motivated to pack my lunch pail and head out the door every morning. I’ll take interactions like the two above any day on these Scrolls than a thousand likes, or pats on the back.
With that, I bid y’all adieu. Long live these hallowed scrolls and always, Go Big Red.
