Nine years. This is how many years I have been writing or spending time with football in a forum capacity (it started on MySpace.) I love it and don't really want to ever cast it off, but that said, I have to step away from Field Gulls for an unknown amount of time.
After last year drew to a close, it caused me to reflect, and I wrote a chronological piece talking about what I went through as a fan for eleven seasons. At that time, I was still committed to working here in a full capacity and was just looking for some time to get centered after that last play.
