    A lot of you guys migrated here from Prodigy, as did I.

    Do you remember what years the Prodigy football board was most active?
    I was thinking it was around '94 or '95, but am not sure.
    IF that is accurate... this little community has been around for almost 20 years!

    Wow!

    :shock:

    Early 90's for sure, decline set in after '95 I believe.

    Now let's not be too hard on Jif! :p

    I can not remember when I signed on to Prodigy, but Wanda got me going. It had to be in the early 90's.

    that's the biggest crock of crap I've heard in a long time! I was there, I know.<br/>
    <br/>
    I'm thinking somewhere around 94-95 when I first came across the prodigy board.</r>

    JIF is my advisor, my consiglieri. But I have to watch him closely because, unlike Tom Hagen, he prefers to be a wartime consiglieri.

    I got on Prodigy in 1994 I think. We were all young and wild. Tempers flew early and often. Remember that psycho from Penn State? I think he has since passed. A couple of guys offered to fly to a neutral airport and settle their business....

    Where have the good old days gone? :twisted:

    I don't remember AJ being a "ball of fire". I got on Prodigy in 92. My clear and accurate recollection is that my Big 10 brother has always been temperate in his comments and not the type to stir up controversy.

    I met AJ (and Rick)... I think that was in 2001 after Kesley's Coogs fell in the Rosebowl.

    I left with one definite impression: He was a "temperate" fellow.
