Dr SD here. Born on the old Naval training station and was raised in Winter Park. Went to UCF (Put in six years time-served at Publix); and then became a Badger in Wisconsin to put the first two letters to my handle. Two years in Central England, then 12 years in Germany. Now back in North England.

Just back from IKEA in Leeds. Nowhere near as good as the IKEA in Cologne, Germany. Off to have a curry and a pint.

Alex and currently 30yo living near Orlando. Been a fan since I got to this country(born in Cuba) in 94. Really got into it in the tmac days. Tmac is still my favorite all time player despite the divorce. He got me to watch ball more then ever before and been stuck on magic ball since then. Forrmer UF College of Pharmacy grad that works as a FT Pharmacist. Prob the only one in my class that likes gator bball more then gator football. #ComehomeParsons

Excited for the new upcoming era of Magic bball and ready for rings.

I looked through a few pages and can't remember if I ever posted on here, so...

My name is Joe. I'm 27. Grew up in Orlando. Went to UCF and moved to Jacksonville after I graduated, but I am excited to be moving back to the motherland in a week! New goal, get rich enough for season tickets. I have been a Magic fan for as long as I can remember. My first NBA jersey was a Shaq jersey. Still have it. Black pinstripes. Hopefully my kid will wear it someday.

name is Tyson, from Oregon but currently live in Utah. Graduated from BYU with a degree in Sports Management and currently run a rec center just outside of Salt Lake City. Used to post frequently on orlandomagic.com forums but realm has been my lurking place of choice for a few years. Grew up a Sonics fan and hate David Stern with all the fiber of my being 8-)

Hi everyone. Luis here (58) I am the oldest

. Realtor with Keller Williams. I have been a fan since I moved from Jersey in 1990. It took a while to shed the old Knicks, Nets skin but I really started following during the Shaq, Penny years and have never looked back. People laugh at me because I have Magic paraphernalia all over my office and say that we will never win. I say the hell with them I still love my team. Vogel will prove them all wrong. The name CrazyPraiZ, well being a Christian I like to give the Lord a crazy praise. Be blessed all.

They have season ticket payment plans where you pay them off in 10 months. Thus, it was something like $125 a month for upper bowl. Back when my old job sponsered Magic related stuff, I was able to get first row upper bowl near center court. Fantastic view and you can lean on railing in front of you.

Otherwise, just wait until gametime and if the game starts at 7, show up right at 7 or 5 minutes before. Scalpers will be desperate and take whatever you are willing to pay. I have paid $50 a seat for 7th row behind the bench this way. Much fun if you are already a little buzzed from the 3 for 1's at Ember's happy hour and decide to catch a game last minute.

Can't believe I never posted in here.

Jay (real name is Jason), 29. Been a member here for nearly 13 years (jesus) starting back in high school. Even used to write a few articles for the site back in my early days when I was considering becoming a Sports Writer. Back in my first year I literally posted all over realgm about 80-100x a day. Now it's probably 2-3 posts a day.

Grew up in the Chickasaw Trail area, then moved to Sanford for middle school and went to Seminole High. Graduated from UCF with a BSBA in Finance. Work in financial services managing executive benefit retirement plans (deferred comp, serps, etc). Been doing that for about 4 and a half years.

Got married this past February.

Been a Magic fan for as long as I can remember. I often say I've been a few since the beginning but I was 3 years old so I probably don't actually remember it and just think i do, lol. Armstrong is my all-time favorite, I remember playing a game of Knockout with him and Bo Outlaw at the Magic summer camp when I was in middle school (I won a pretty sweet Most Improved Player for the camp). Favorite memory is that steal and layup in the last seconds against Philly.

Huge Broncos fan, also becoming a bigger fan of the Jags ever since Blake Bortles got drafted. Big Orlando City fan as well (go Lions!).

Audi · Post #158 » by **Audi** » Tue May 24, 2016 1:29 pm

30yrs old. Born and raised in Winter Springs, went to Trinity Prep in my younger years an then to Winter Springs High School. Went to college in the NC mountains, graduated, came back to Orlando for a year or two and then moved back up to NC where I own a blueberry farm with my brother and work in the botanics industry. Been a Magic fan as long as I can remember - my grandfather would take me to games regularly. He had a knack for parking in the sketchiest of all available lawns on Parramore. He and I once shared a booth at Ronnie's Resturaunt (Rip) with none other than Shaquille O'Neil. My young mind was blown and would still be if it happened today.

Oh, i'm Audi and I approve this message.

So after rereading this thread, there are 4 Davids... and that's not counting DaveyWavey who has not posted, but I would assume is also a Dave. The Daves are taking over!
