Coaching is part of my job and identity, KM represent my initials. Joined CF on a whim desperate to know where I could watch the UNLV football game in Chizek's first year. Just typed the name I was using for many passwords at the time.

I always picture Ruxin or Rux from the league, and thats where I stop on at your username.

I saw the R U ex-cy-table the very first time I read his username.

However, it took me a couple of years to figure out that cycl1 (you know, batman? the guy with the cowl?) meant CyclONE. I can be dumb about these things.

I started college after a 4 yr stint in the Navy. Started rock climbing with a freshman on our floor -- he was 4 years younger than me. So he started calling me Old Man. I work quite a bit with him and his younger brother and they both still call me that. Not sure if they even know what my real name is anymore. Now I'm starting to get close to the age where it really fits. That and I'm grouchy.


well that and you can't post after 5 pm because it's past your bedtime

The thing that has always made me happiest as a Cyclone fan is Hilton Magic. I've always seen it as the one thing that ISU has to hang it's hat on even when we suck at basketball and football both. We were still able to win big games in Hilton. During the McPast we lost at home all the time. That just killed me. Before the 2009 season we had an amazing roster and I was so looking forward to finally winning in Hilton again. Thus BringBackHiltonMAGIC. Little did I know we had to bring back Fred before we could bring back the magic.

In mafia games, I traditionally let Farnsworth explain my name, since he did that for me a couple of times before I saw the question posted. Let's see if he still remembers.

Oh crap I know I know this. Been thinking about it for about an hour and can't quite remember.

I'm thinking it has to do with the clones being a number two seed in basketball some point. Can't remember specifics

I used to be AlanAldaClone, MontyBurns, Herkykiller, and CyBer, but the mods made me change my name when I became one. :jimlad:

My name is Charlie, my last name starts with a D, was called Chuck D a lot in high school. I'm partially Greek (as in nationality, not frats), and had a friend who always refereed to me as Greek. If you were to dial Greek on a phone, it would be 47335, so that's where the 4735 comes from.

Ding ding! The Fizer/Tinsley season was my coming of age as a Cyclone fan. They were a #2 seed that year in the NCAA tournament. Used that screen name for a few things. Still use it on Xbox Live and here, obviously.

Hi.

But in all honesty, on most other forums/internet chats, I have a default screen name that doesn't indicate my gender. For some reason, when I signed up, I wanted to make sure people knew I was a girl. So, this is my first name - last initial.
