I date back to pre-rivals... we're talking IU Ken and the "big ten fan forum" days.

Yeesh .. thanks for making me feel old

I remember starting on the OGFP as well. Steve on the Gridiron and Marcus on Mr. Hoops. Big D was my handle many years ago.

Big D was your handle is surprising. I thought you would choose the Big E or was that out of respect of Elvin Hayes. Lol

Old timer as in Purdue grad / fan or forum poster?

My father and brothers all went to Purdue, as did my wife and I. Cried through the Fred Aker days and watched one of the best full backs mow people over to collect 5 yards in Mike Alstadt (his freshman year only). 3 of my sons graduated from Purdue and my youngest is a junior there now. Praise God!!

I started posting on the OldGoldFreePress as well.

I started on grid iron and Mr hoops and old gold free press. I used to argue with Ken boiler all day long. D Stewart tried to keep the board civil. He then switched his attention to women’s basketball.

I was banned for awhile because I was super critical and negative about Hazell and the type of players he recruited. I was accused of hurting the recruit’s feelings! All I said was why is Hazell recruiting only Mac and MVC level players? And if he wanted to win in the big 10, why wasn’t he recruiting players other big 10 teams were recruiting? I got tired of Hazell Signing players whose only other offer was from Marshall and west central Michigan! And Tennessee Martin! I was allowed to come back after Brian realized my assessment of Hazell and the type of players he recruited was spot on! Posters still hated me. They hated me more for being right and doubling down on my beliefs!

That was before I became interested in track and Olympic athletes!
