RIP Eotab

Wow thats just the worst news. Rest easy Tab. Everyone will miss you. Everyone has fond memories of your fandom and the individual you showed yourself to be. Its a bitter pill to begin 2024 with.

I am so sad to hear that. I will always look fondly on my conversations with him in this forum. May he rest in peace.

Just a thought. Should we retire eotab’s “what I saw” thread, or have someone continue it as a way for us to honour him? I think the latter, but I’m only one vote.

Death of a shining light always puts things in perspective. He was almost always positive, always a good dude. I’ll remember that about him. And isn’t it good to be remembered as such. Raise a glass, long live Andy.

Where did the name "Eotab" come from / mean?

I think it's a cool idea to continue it.

The first online Browns fan I lost was actually from a rock band message board. He was a Browns fan living in Wyoming. He was much like Eotab, a "foundational member" and well respected. Died tragically at 36.

Every week during the football season he would start a thread... "Week 4 ~ F#&k the Ravens" (or whomever we were playing). After he passed, we continued the tradition for years, and you can still see that same headline pop up from time to time in the sports section there. We also (worldwide) toast him every birthday. Many times band members will even raise a glass.

I think it's a great way to honor him.

RIP Eo

I started reading on the Browns Official site board around 2000. He was one of my favorite members to read. He was super knowledgable and a great fan to have on the board to get us through all those terrible years. Just reading his posts on here, I could tell he was a great guy and great family man.

Just thinking out loud. I could be off base, so those who knew him personally please correct me if i'm wrong. Eo loved that thread, he loved talking football and loved hearing others talk about what they saw from that weeks game. I'm sure he's up there now looking down saying, the hell your not, I want to hear (and those others who didn't get to see the game) what was seen in the game.

I know it might not be easy as some might jump the gun (meaning starting threads), but as a connection (and honor) to him, it could be called "EO's What I saw" or something to that nature. In generalization terms, I know some cheers Ravenkiller when the Browns beat the Ravens. To me, it sounds like a cheers to Eo.

Cheers Eo, you have some legendary Browns players and coaches to discuss the game with up there.

Tab was always a good guy and very upbeat about the Browns. I joined this board in 2004, when I was only 21 years old. I joined right after Butch Davis' last game, in Cincy, that I went to. Tabber and Peen were the first two people that I gravitated to on this board and spent time chatting and sharing thoughts with. Been on DawgTalk ever since.

He was very knowledgeable about the game. Had great especially great insight on OL techniques. I remember he was a big fan of Zukauskas way back in the day.

I'm sure I will come up with other memories, but he will be missed.

I didn't realize he only posted one "What I Saw" this season.

Here's a nice throwback from the home opener in '22 when we beat Baker's Panthers 26-24...

And I can't count the times I've read this over the years:

A lot of great Eotab memories being posted here. Many thanks to al who read and also contributed to this thread.....

I’m shocked this thread isn’t pages deep tbh. EO was literally a part of making this place what it used to be pre-divides. And his regular post game posts were a fixture most looked forward too. This past year I saw a few newer posters giving EO the what for and going around with him, but that was never who I knew him to be, although we only talked on here. Don’t take me wrong, I am happy this many took the time to say a few words honoring his memory and time devoted to this place. I just thought there’d be more. IMO, aside from Purp, I’d have ranked EO in the top 10 well liked DT’ers, a true fan, and one of the more popular posters on the board. At least I know I won’t be the only one that misses his presence.

RIP, EO......we all will meet his fate- be ready. Peace to him and all.

As many members as there are on this board, there are those few who keep posting.

And there are those who drop in once in a while.

The football season is over, not much football to talk about right now.

That mostly means most won't stop in.

Kind of like fishing season, snow skiing season, baseball and basketball season.

Not much to talk about to keep your interests in checking in if it's out of season.

It's not really about how many posts this thread will get.

It's about the posts that it does get and the feelings from those.

It's all good, It's about him being in another place. Not how many posts he gets for not being in this place.

He's in your heart and others, that's really what's special.

Well said my friend.

Nice post deisel. Like I once said at a funeral when someone quietly remarked that there weren’t many people there. “The only ones who matter are the ones who showed up.”

Years and years ago I used to IM Eotab on America Online
Alot of those conversations centered around talking
About the world.....his Greek heritage. Very intelligent fellow.
His football takes were interesting and colorful.
At times he came off ultra sensitive of outsiders opinions
Of the Browns. And of course if you disagreed with Eotab
Another side of him came out.
Let's hope his ascension to the other side was a peaceful one

horrible news... so sorry to hear...

RIP Eotab....I remember one of the first things I saw when I joined was Eotab's "What I saw."

RIP Eo

I am so sorry to hear about Eotab. My condolences to his family at this awful time.

Eotab's 'what I saw' threads were a staple on the board for years... rip eotab

Loved Eo being part of this community
