Thanks to all.....
I graduate later today, and I wanted to briefly send out my sincerest thanks to everyone on this board. Of course this goes out to some of you in particular (you know who you are*), but really I want to thank everyone.
The last three years have been the most rigorous and challenging academically of my life, by far. Perhaps it sounds strange, but in addition to a fantastic group of real life friends, many of you on this board have been there every step of the way. This place (along with the actual Mavs games of course) has provided more study breaks--sometimes even during class--than I can possibly count. I can't tell you how many times I'd be in the middle of 8+ hours of sitting behind this computer studying for exams, and the first thing I'd do for a much-needed mental break was pop on here to see if anything interesting was going on. This is by far the most intelligent and articulate fanbase on a sports-related message board I've ever seen, and it's a real treat to escape the world by coming on here a few minutes each day and bullsh*tting with you guys. So, thanks to all of you. I gotta go put on my suit and walk the stage now. Cross your fingers that I don't trip. *Of course, I primarily refer to Silk Smoov.

Congrats L-Dub! If you ever have more lawyer money than you know what to do with, I'm sure this site could use some upgrades.

Congrats, bud...you're one our best and one my favorites.
There are only 4 or 5 posters on this forum that I always stop down for...and you are one of them.

I had a couple of friends graduate from UT Law this year too. I probably saw you walk across the stage and didn't know it! Congrats man.
