The time has come, my fellow FanNationers. It is time.

Time for what, you ask? Time to go to school? To take a shower? To steal your roommate's towel? No, it is none of those.

It is time for me to announce my retirement from throwdowns. In shock? No surprise to me. A moment of silence for those in shock...

Yes, I am retiring. I don't find a joy in throwdowns anymore. Truly don't. Sometimes I go prowling around, looking for a good TD with an debatable topic to argue. But I have not seen many of those anymore. And it is immensely disappointing.

Not only that, but as many of you know I am in school now. You may have noticed I was not on FanNation at all the last few days and when I came on today my box had about 400 fanmails. In school, with classes, work, everything, throwdowns don't really have a place in my world. After all, I have a LIFE, unlike most of you here (just messin' with ya!).

But I am not retiring from FanNation as a whole. No way in hell. Just throwdowns. I will still blog, be in my groups, and I'll help out with throwdown tourneys, but you'll have to work hard to get me to participate in one.

In conlusion, fellow FanNationers, my retirement from throwdowns commences now. Now skedaddle, punks.

(And I'm sorry if I spam you, I'm sending this to all my groups.)

October 3, 2007  05:09 PM ET

October 3, 2007  05:09 PM ET

October 3, 2007  05:10 PM ET

You spammed me 7 times with this mumbo jumbo!

October 3, 2007  05:10 PM ET

The Circle Club is the best club in the world. Too bad you're not in it.

October 3, 2007  05:12 PM ET

I am sure you will eventually get back to it. However, for now. I too will be on less due to school. I will still argue sports with a passion.

Talk to you later Erwin.

October 3, 2007  05:17 PM ET

Too bad you got spammed...a sad day...

October 3, 2007  05:18 PM ET

ERRRRRRRRRRRWWWWWWWWWWIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

October 3, 2007  05:18 PM ET

sad day. but not that sad. youre still here

October 3, 2007  05:19 PM ET

I think you are lying and I am going to challenge you to a throwdown right now about just this sort of throwdown abandonment. Stay tuned.(or not)

October 3, 2007  05:22 PM ET

I'm not lying Cassidy, it's the truth. You might be right, I will come back eventually, but not yet. So wait.

October 3, 2007  05:31 PM ET

Someone is following in the footsteps of me...

I've been able to stay away from throwdowns for about 2 months now. Once Notre Dame wins a game, I will come back. I'm itching for a throwdown.

October 3, 2007  05:32 PM ET

Erwin.....I think your lying too.....if you were retiring, why not just NOT THROWDOWN...instead of making this big blog about it, and looking for sympathy.

Everyone has lives, some ppl have careers and kids they juggle, and you don't hear them complaining about their lives, their time, or their schedules.

Give it a break......if there is a TD you like take it, if not don't, but don't SPREAD IT ROUND THE MOUNTAIN, else you'll look like a fool if ya change your mind.

October 3, 2007  05:32 PM ET

:( so sad............

October 3, 2007  05:46 PM ET

I have said it once and I am saying it again, I AM NOT LYING. Listen, there might be a day when I come back and you all celebrate and run circles, but for now, no TD's for me.

I ain't lookin' for no sympathy, just telling you all. I am not trying to make a big deal out of this.

Seriously, I really don't think you understand. I am retiring, it might not be permanent, eventually we might find out, but for now, I am not going to TD.

And don't say I'm doing this to attract attention, because I am not the type to be put on the spot.

October 3, 2007  06:09 PM ET
