As the year comes to end, it's time to induct our first Charter Member of the Music City Miracles Hall Of Fame. Without further ado, the first Member of the Class of 2009 is:

zackmann

THE STATS:

zackmann has been a member of Music City Miracles for just over three years, joining on October 26th, 2006. He has made 2,057 comments on SBNation, 2,049 of those coming here at Music City Miracles. zackmann has also posted 28 fanposts for us to enjoy. He is in his element in the game threads, enjoying the action with his fellow MCMers.

THE HISTORY:

zackmann's first comment came after the Titans victory over the Texans on 10/29/2006. This was VY's second start, and also saw Pacman Jones' first interception and punt return for a touchdown. (Sidenote: Check out the game thread and see how far MCM has come!) This was also the weekend that we learned of the "exploits" of "Spitman" Jones. It was on this post by Jimmy that zackmann made his first comment:

great game yesterday...and other thoughts
yesterday's game was great....after those 2 30 point blowouts to SD and dallas, I am just excited to see competitive football....

and I attribute the excitement level to Vince being the leader of the team now...

On Pacman, I'm skeptical of the situation....the girl had a baggie handy to put the spit in? WTF? this doesn't make any sense....

I like our core Defensive players of KVB, bulluck, thornton, hope and Pac....now we just need to upgrade the other 6 fools....

And lets start with Peter Sirmon...how many tackles 10 yards past the line of scrimmage is he going to make?

And we need to teach Thompson the proper angles to tackle the runner...

Hill played decent on AJ....most of AJ's catches, hill was playing good coverage...Andre Johnson is just that damn good...

Though I would still be in favor of having Pac cover the main WR, instead of him and hill taking sides...

On offense, our WR's and TE's have to catch the ball better....

That is heck of a trip back in time right there!

Random Facts About zackmann (may or may not be true):

zackmann's original internet handle was zackboy. Then he turned 18, and things changed.
It just so happened that it worked out better that way, since his real name is Zack Mann.
zack is a Titan fan.
zack was a huge Peter Sirmon fan, and was very upset when he left the Titans.

So join me in congratulating zackmann on his induction into the Music City Miracles Hall Of Fame as a Charter Member of the Class of 2009.

Speech! Speech!

GO TITANS!

I'm humbled

Thanks guys. I really am honored.

This is a great site. I’m disappointed I can’t post more nowadays, but that’s what happens when one goes from grad school to a real job. Plus I moved from Memphis to Houston.

I’ll write up a longer “speech” tonight. Should I put it in these comments or make a fan post (which I still want to call a diary!!!)?

acceptance speech

Really guys, I am extremely humbled and honored to be the first member in the MCM Hall of Fame. My posting frequency and quality of late likely doesn’t merit such a high honor, but I know that being a part of the MCM community nearly from the start set the stage for this.

In the beginning we were a much smaller community than we are now. Combine that with lots of free time while being in Grad school and it is easy to see how I racked up 2000+ post, mostly early on.

Jimmy and August West and smashville and hal and gramsey deserve alot of credit. There is now way we are having a post like this if the community didn’t explode in growth these last 2 or so years. Essentially I’m being honored for being here near the start, posting alot in game threads and watching those guys do such great work and bring in tons of new readers and posters. They did the work. I’m getting put in the MCM Hall of Fame for it.

I want to give a shout out to the game threads. I love them. They really are my bread and butter. I think I am like every sports fan…it is funner to watch a game with other fans. Since my fiancee doesn’t care about football and my 2 cats and poodle hate football because I act too loud and throw things, I have to find fellowship somewhere. I find that here at MCM. I love reading the game threads. I love posting in the game threads. I feel the game threads are the heart and soul of every SB Nation blog. If I’m not mistaken, one of the rules of having a SB Nation blog is that you must have game threads. And I love that rule. It is a good rule, because as much as I love to read Jimmy’s recaps and smashville’s keys and August West’s links, the posters and their comments on this site is what makes this the best Titans blog on the internet.

I also want to let everyone know that I now live in Houston (gotta go where the jobs are). That puts me right smack in the middle of the enemy. I listen to sports talk radio each morning, only so I can find something to text in about. Usually my text have something to do with Cotton Schuab being a wuss or the Texans being more suited for flag football or how there is a great chance the Hadron Colider creates a black hole than the Texans ever make the playoffs. Sometimes I get a response, sometimes I don’t. The one time one of the DJ’s did have a long back and forth with me was when I let them know how dumb they sounded when they were trashing Football Outsiders for predicting 8 wins or less this season. That was a fun conversation….but I digress….

I need to give a few shout outs for giving us so much to talk about….

I give a huge shout out to whatever poster coined the term “3rd and Reynaldo”…….that was the single best game thread comment ever….unfortunately I think that idea still lives on, only being “3rd and Harper”…..

in fact, I want to thank Reynaldo Hill, Peter Sirmon, Tank Williams, Calvin Lowry, Nick Harper, all the Titans WR’s ever except for Kenny Britt, and all the other Titan weak links that give us something to complain about. Complaining is always funner than gloating it seems…

I want to thank Pacman Jones and Vince Young for creating so much Titan drama, Jimmy has to put a moratorium on talking about them because they over shadowed every thing else…

I want to thank all the UT posters who would have my back when I spoke out in support of Vince even when he was going down the toilet last year….

I want to thank Cortland Finnegan and Chris Johnson for being freaking awesome…

I want to let all the Colt and Texan fans know they suck….

I want to provide some of my favorite Titan games in the last 4 years or so….

—The VY coming out party against the Gmen
—The game Pacman beat the Jags all by himself with those INT’s and punt returns
—The Monday night game against the Saints
—The 62 yard FG that beat the Colts
—The Monday night game last year against the Colts that was suppose to signal a changing of the guard in the AFC South
—The 59 point smack down of the Pats in the snow….oh wait….nevermind…I have that backwards….hahaha
—The Pitt game last year without AH
—The Houston game where Vince ran it in during OT and the Houston crowd went crazy
—The Arizona miracle game this year

And I’m grateful for everyone on here for sharing those moments with me….really, I’m humbled and thank Jimmy for building such a great site….keep it up, man!!!!

I promise to act on this great honor by increasing my posting frequency and quality…
