Thanks Jacson, Scruffy, Jon, Ben and all the rest of the staff of writers and contributors to Field Gulls. Thanks to the cartel of classy chaotic characters that is the Field Gulls gang of 12x12x12x12 and so on. I really want to say how much fun it has been to be a part of this gang in the last 1/2 year for me. I've learned a lot and been taught (schooled) more. Its clear why this is the best site out there.

But I hope I can speak for everyone else when I say how unique and just down right wonderful it has been this year with all the changes. Boy howdy, what a fun time that has been. Its just hard to put into words (appropriately) how much SB Nation has meant to my and many others Field Gulls experience this past year. It has been just an ever enlightening rock and roll trip down a steep icy Seattle street in January. Grab your balls parts and hold on.

But Thanks to all for allowing me to play and and I hope I get a good grade on my paper. Des

Go Hawks!
