Satch, a man like you should have no problem rising from the dead. You've been gone way too long. Start posting.

So sad...
Satch, if you read this board from the sky:
We are all little Satchmen.
Love and everlasting respect for you from France.

Very odd! First satch retires, then makes a comeback after 2 hours, now is pretending to be dead...

Satch isn't any closer to the sky than you or I. If you doubt that, check the Baltimore Sun website. Click on obituaries. Type in Satchman. Nothing there there.

What's sad is whatever it is that would impel Satch (or anyone else) to post a thing like that.

> Let's all
>retire with broken heart!!!...

Personally, if I'm going to retire, I'd rather do it breaking the hearts of others, not my own. Chance are probably slim, but one can always dream.

By the way Satch, that Dental Student still hasn't received her Track&Field News subscription you donated.

Thank goodness, it was all just a dream!

"Could this be more idiotic?"

Agreed with abinferno. Look Satch: you have some very insightful things to say about track and field. For that reason, I (like many others) absolutely want you to return to the board.

However, it is quite clear that you crave attention and it is a little much sometimes.

Satch, my man, your wit,smarts and charm are like a breath of fresh air compared to those aging jocksniffers. The trivia questions are brilliant,comments cogent and well composed,and track knowledge truly awesome! Do not let others less talented hurt you.Finally the Batman interview and recent obituary were classics.Keep up your campaign against banality and fat ass disease.
