Yeah, from one rookie to another, it was a fun year exchanging posts. Congrats Rybec on the 331. And of course Shazzy on that new Illinois record. I grew up down in Edwardsville Il, so I find that pretty cool.

Great job Bob!! This also being my rookie year and have learned a lot from the awesome folks here on this site(like a 2nd family) I ended up with a 592 lb. And a 396 lb. For my 1st year and am looking at 1k for next year and I believe that you can do it too brother!! I think its safe to say that we graduated to the sophmore class!! Haha. Erik
