Can someone remind me why so many of us old timers joined Peeg’s back in 2001?

[UncleMark]

Yeah, because you got told to knock it off.

News to me.

@Eppy99 ^^^this^^^

I "joined" way before Knight was fired - but it wasn't "Rivals" yet. Hell, it was still "dial up" sign in tones!

I was a football guy first, only for a long time.

My first "bookmarks" on my first computer were Intellicast radar, the Indy Star IU page, Peegs hoop site and Bruce Strom's football site.

It's been a long slide since then.

Remind me, what was Bruce’s background?

Does anyone want to know why I joined peegs?

Remind me, what was Bruce’s background?

He taught at Indiana Central/U of Indy and loved IU football

I joined to see if anyone else thought Crean was a idiot.

There were quite a few posters that felt the same way. But peegs always defended him.

This peegs guy sounds like a dummy.

Although given the last 7 years, I'm not sure Crean would have done worse.

He got everyone paying him monthly like cult followers for his morsels of made up inside information. He was pretty savvy. If memory serves he had an mba from UF. Honestly getting all that going then was something. Pretty fwd thinking

He didn’t want to ruffle any feathers at IU, at the risk of losing any access and incurring any wrath from the university. Thus, you had to be careful with any criticism.
