Reading through this thread is amazing. It takes me back with the pictures and names I haven't heard in forever. Some of my favorite stories from back in the day:
I went to the W2 lot tailgate because someone had custom made bottle Miami jersey coozies. I still use it today. That was probably 2000-2001.
I had a buddy, key word had, that was a basketball assistant coach at a school and he mentioned to me that Haith knew he was about to get fired if he didn't get the team winning more. So I posted this info (young and dumb) and to prove it was accurate I posted the coaches credentials. Well an assistant coach at Miami read the boards put two and two together and called my buddy and reamed him out and threatened to have him blackballed from coaching. My buddy called me screaming and demanded I post that I made it up. So I did but the damage was done. We haven't spoken really since and I learned a valuable lesson on how powerful message boards could be. My old buddy has since got a head coaching job at a midmajor.
Finally, When I was a freshman at Elon I went to a Duke game just because. I was keeping up with the Miami score on the scoreboard and we were down huge to Boston College. When we got back to campus the first place I dialed up the internet to was Grassy.com to find out what had happened and that was the game Crossland hit the only FG he ever made to win against BC in a dramatic comeback.
