I started as PeoriaCat (I'm guessing) in 1995 on the old Chicago Trib Big 10 Forum and was a member of the list serve. Then eventually migrated here when Roy (I refuse to call a pee wee coach, "coach Roy") started a board after the Trib board went down. At some point, I was unable to sign-in, so I had to re-register and chose the handle of WaveJumper since it's an indication of what I do now in retirement. I am an IKO certified, level2 senior kiteboarding instructor. If you want to learn the sport, contact me wmjg8 at comcast.net.
Some of the older posters that post infrequently are MizzouCat (a good friend), Heet75 (played for NU and a friend), minncat, CatBird (my wife) and CatJaws (a great friend who I had the pleasure of playing ball with). Over the years, I've met many of you.
The old Trib board was a riot with ECat, Dr Doom, HamBadger, Snoopdog, BoyBlue, etc. This thread brings back some fun memories, and Brad Kaiser was ahead of the curve on recruiting info.
The best bowl game experience for me, was San Antonio, where I met many of the board members at that time. Unfortunately, we played a pissed off Nebraska team, but the venue was outstanding. We, and some of the parents (the Clark's) organized a party. I provided the music CD for that gathering. I remember Gary Danielson tried to crash that party - no pay, no go!
