After hearing about Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC rumors I got to thinking dang it's been awhile since I've been on CSNBBS. I knew this would be the best place to follow what is going on and seeing old poster friends still around made Me realize I missed being on here. I finally retired from GE 4 years ago, turning 69 next month still kicking and watching Football every weekend. Hope everyone is doing good.

Man, we had the radio shack Pong knock off ... it had something like "16 games" ... regular and wide paddles, pong and the "handball" game where your paddles are on the same side of the screen bouncing against the other side, fast and slow ball, and regular angles and sharp angles, controlled by four switches.

We didn't get an Atari, but after my sophomore year in College I was able to buy a Commodore 64 with disk drive and green monochrome high resolution monitor.

On the topic, it does depend on what you call a "story". I think it is the collapse of the Big East, but then again that wasn't a single story, it was more like a series of stories.

Could you imagine me here around the time the Big Ten was inviting Nebraska? Here's a Bleacher Report article:

I've always wanted more of an Eastern presence for the Big Ten even back in the 2010's:

MWC announced merger/alliance with CUSA

TCU to the Big East before they got a better offer

Boise & SDSU to the Big East before it didn’t happen.

All three of those were stories although no games were ever played.

TCU actually joined the Big East, they just didn’t stick around long enough to play. But they did pay their exit fee!
