My initials plus the 1st initial of each of my children have had it since AOL was born.

Gus Kyle used to be the sales manager and would actually sell tickets himself back in those simpler times. He was also the color man back when you could say color man. When a goalie caught a particularly hard shot Gus would say it must feel like a handful of hot rivets. Virtually nobody now would know what a rivet is or why it might be hot but I suspect Gus had some real jobs growing up. He was a funny guy- mostly unintentionally.

My initials, and the airport codes for St. Louis and San Diego.

Grew up in STL, stationed in SAN on a submarine and stayed in SAN when I got out.

Do a lot of traveling for work, hence the airport codes.

Back in the mid-90s when the internet was just taking off, ESPN ran a commercial where none of them really understood the web but they had a dedicated person in the office to do all that for them, and they called him netboy. I adopted it back then and just never changed it. 65 is the year I was born.

I wouldn't have gotten the Picard reference. That's cool. My grandparents used to have a cottage on the lake at Indian Hills in Cuba. My grandfather used to tell me about how Noel would have pickup games on it with the Blues players when it froze over in the mid 70's. He had a bar in town called Noel's Place, can't recall if it was open or closed, I was like 10 at the time. (mid 80's).

I don't really follow NCAA sports, so if asked to guess I'd have never guessed that. You telling the story though, I did remember that UGA is the Bulldogs.
