Username Change (was SwBkRn44)

Triathlon Forum

For the three or four people who occasionally care what I have to say I thought I’d let you all know I’ve changed from SwBkRn44 to Mad Jee.

Tomorrow is 7 years on ST for me and I’ve had the SwBkRn44 username going back 10+ years from various other forums and chatrooms. It’s annoying to type with the staggered capitalizations and I don’t “Sw” much at all anymore and only really “Bk” for recreation. This was the first year in 10 years that I haven’t done a triathlon as my focus has switched more to running races. The 44 came from Tom Rathman, fullback from the 49ers and my favorite football player growing up.

Mad Jee is a play on my last name “Maggi”. People always mispronounce it with a hard “g” sound like “Maggie” but it’s more of a “J” sound.

So anyway, that’s the history of my old name and the source of my new name. Even though I am not much of a triathlete these days, I still spend way to much time here!

Tom Rathman was a tough s.o.b. And he blocked for Roger Craig - he of the high knee running style - one of my favorite running backs of all time.

If you want to save yourself some grief, add mention of your username change to your sig line for a while.

A bunch of my Mom’s family went to Notre Dame so when Montana got drafted they all became 49ers fans. As lots of my family cheered for the Niners I did too.

But while everyone else loved Montana, Rice, and Craig my favorite player was always Rathman. Had a poster in my room of him rushing the ball, wearing his white 49ers jersey with blood stains all over it.

I hope that the ditching of all those capital letters helps you run faster.

Done, thanks for the idea. I leave that there for a few weeks.

I snagged an OA win at a 10k down in Plymouth on Saturday. Won $50, cash!

Generally you shake hands with the race director, open the envelope and find a gift certificate to some random establishment that you will probably never use. Much to my delight, I opened the envelope and found a crisp 50 dollar bill!

And the best part was I had won the race last year so had free entry. So $50 profit for 34 and a half minutes work!

Cool…I’ve been wanting to change my name to SwBkRn44 for almost 7 years now :slight_smile:

HAHA, it’s all yours!

I probably sniped it from you on AOL Instant Messenger back in 2000 too huh? Man, those were these days!

A 49er fan in New England is a weird experience. Sports is the only subject in New England where people will talk to strangers and it’s always assumed you’re fanatical about the Red Sox and Patriots.

I was only a casual Niners fan as it was a family thing. I grew up on Long Island, so I am a Yankees/Giants fan, so it’s a REALLY weird experience in New England :slight_smile:

Although not bad these days, despite the two Super Bowls Patriots fans hate the Jets way more than the Giants. And for the past two years Red Sox fans have just been pretending like baseball doesn’t even exist.
