Camp Cochise where they drank scorpion water. Yes, that was fun. Other highlights: the Jamal Lord contingent telling us about the Huskers all week; the Iowa fans like the swallows at Capistrano coming back each year to remind us of their amazingly consistent and annual run at mediocrity; the small but feisty contingent of Northwestern online posters showing up to talk smack (we are now pretty sure they were actually Iowa fans pretending - is that weird or what); AustinNit and how girlfriend’s large ___; HappyJohn’s Tikka every Friday; Shrink’s amazing statistical analysis and then blow by blow account of the capture of the Boston Marathon bomber; better 911 analysis than the networks; in-depth discussions on why airliners go down; all things Civil War, WWII and Band of Brothers; the Judge; Marshcreek and love of all things Devlin; the dark years; Sandusky; the BOT’s corruption; how to pave your driveway, lease a car, or buy just about any household appliance; the movie club’s reviews; Bushwood’s angst; Fair’s graciousness; Step’s engineering knowledge; Midnighter, Obli and Howie’s posts; Gunsie’s gunsiness; and, Tom McAndrew’s infrequent but delightful American history lessons. I’ve missed a thousand highlights but that list comes to mind as I think about the few minutes (years?) of my life I’ve spent on the best board anywhere, regardless of topic.
The Kendra decision still pisses me off, particularly growing up in Bethlehem, and I knew him. At that point in Joe's coaching career he never would have let Kendra run like that, particularly in a scrimmage. He would have succeeded at PSU and beyond. The guy was a beast with a rocket arm.
Anyone remember Kassandro?
My early-teenage years loved his posts 😂

Good stuff. The poster was CapnPanther and the opener was "C'mon down, Pittboy," aimed at some ASWP flamer. He'd then launch by saying something like "Walt (Harris) or Buddy (Morris) needs your help..." And then tear the flamer a new one by just shredding one of ASWP's recent foibles. Never found out who it was, but the betting was on CheeseLion.
Then there was N(u)tm(e)gLion, referred to derisively ass"The Man From Darien." One of the bigger jerks on Plotit. Have to give him credit, though. He recognized the genius of Saban when he was still at MSU. Had such a mancrush on him that he received numerous offers of free kneepads.
The highlight of that week were the never-ending screeches of Jammal's mom "Jammal gonna play in da League (NFL)." I saw Jammal play at Bayonne HS. Great athlete, lousy QB.
Midnighter and PSURO have tried to carry the torch and done so admirably, but Kassandro lit up the board like none other back in the day.
I don’t post very often, but I was with the conversion from Plotit (Scott, Tom) to the Rivals site. I look at this site multiple times over the day, every day. I hope we find an alternative, & keep this nutty group together. Very sad though.
I started getting on the site in '99, surfed anonymously, and sign up as an identified member in 2001.
One of the more entertaining and funny posters I looked forward to wasn't even a PSU guy. King AD Buck. His stories were classic.
I started lurking in about 1998 and recall the great class of 1999 that ended up being epically poor. The bad years, the Marsh Creek years and all of the good and bad in between. At the start I was a sports nut watching anything at any time. Now I just watch PSU football and Villanova basketball. I will still follow the team and will miss the cool dialogue between the faithful.
I wasn't involved in that discussion, but that screenshot is from the same week I met my wife in Iowa City - we've been married 22 years with 4 kids. Time flies.

August 2001. There was a Big Ten Board I perused but the Big Ten shut it down because of nastiness. Mostly by a Wisky fan.
I remember you. I miss some of the old regulars such as ChrisNit80 and Mary Anne.
Mary Anne brought really good vibes to the board. When Bayline passed she set up a collection for flowers. She was another DMV poster, the best of us.
Did you go by "Big O" on Plotit? Yes, ChrisNit80 was great! Wasn't he the one that gave a lot of INSIDE information? And who can forget Mary Anne! She was on this board for a while, just a few years ago.

McCluskey was a great coach, impossible to deny that. If he did what people say he did, then his name should be removed from the gym. I have no way of knowing.
Entirely different person. Bernie was a devoted PSU fan who actually went to the trouble of evaluating prospects that PSU was recruiting. Not so easy in those days because the ubiquitous highlight clips that we take for granted were non-existent. So Bernie did it the old fashioned way, got in his car and drove to games, some of which weren't exactly a hop, skip or jump from where he lived.
Ultimately Bernie had a falling out with the board. He had strong opinions and wasn't shy about sharing them. Didn't sit well with the majority of members who thought the coaching staff knew a hell of a lot more than he did. One case I recollect was PSU offering a kid from Ohio. Bernie hadn't seen him , but the prospect's measurables weren't all that great and, more indicative to Bernie, he was an Ohio kid that OSU hadn't offered. Pretty intense firestorm ensued. The kid was AJ Hawk.
Bernie left the board and it was diminished by his absence. Needless to say, it survived.
Mid 90s on Plotit. I remember all of those you mentioned. M&B2 was a Michigan fan who liked the board vibe and was always pleasant and respectful.
Hello
dont post much at all. But I remember back on plotit there was a guy named ChrisNit80 and he used to give a weekly dump that he and his father would put together from how practices went. Not sure how he got his info but always looked towards his Thursday night report as a prognosis to how Saturdays game would turn out. Always wondered who Chris and his dad were.

Yes I liked him and his reports. There was a lot more insider stuff around back then.
I seem to remember that he was a former player, that's why he had so much inside information (asked for confirmation upstream in this thread).
not sure why I never put 2 and 2 together but could it have been Chris Bahr? His dad have to be connected to Joe.
