September 2006 for me. I wonder how many drunk hot takes I have made in that time
Joined Mar 23, 2006. LOL I probably have had several over that time too especially early on.

When I found CF it was because I was checking to see if anyone had started up a firewaynemorgan.com site yet as I was pretty fired up over the sad state of our basketball program at the time and being in my mid 20's I didn't quite have the filter I do now for saying what was on mind. To this date that was probably one of the most undisciplined ISU teams I've ever seen play in Hilton and I was done with the direction Morgan was taking the program. Defense was just awful and Wayne had no guts on when to sit Stinson when he was being a ball hog and turning it over left and right at times which let some of those games get out of reach quickly. The date I sent Jeremy the email was 2/25/06 which just happens to be the same day we lost 91-73 at Baylor when I look back at the schedule. Guessing that was a tipping point for me then as we were 5-9 in conference at that point with several double digit losses against unranked teams. I mean we lost to freaking EA Sports team 64-57 to start the season in exhibition then held off the mighty Bemedji State 84-77 in our 2nd exhibition after that when we started the season ranked 23rd.

There have been a lot of ups and downs in all sports since then, but only Prohm’s last year was more frustrating than Morgan’s last year.

Joined in April 2006, and I think it may have been in response to the coaching search after Wayne Morgan was fired? I was a member of some toxic Cyclone message board (can't even remember which one now) and the breadcrumbs led me here.

I also joined in April 2006…think I also heard about on another message board I was on

I think your username is a very good clue to the general era of when you would have joined. I remember Facebook groups that had the same name/concept, we all just wanted the ball to go his way because it's all we had
Oh yeah, good point! I think I chose my username because that's literally all we would yell at the games. Just chuck it up to Todd, we didn't have many other chances back then.

Sept '08 for me. First post was about Leonard Johnson's concussion. Can't believe its been nearly 15 years and 13 of those I've been living out of state. Man, time flies.

Coming up on 12 years in December myself. However, I've known Rulzzz since waaay before CF. We were members of HoopScoop (a Big 12 wbb forum) from nearly 25 years ago and met in person at some point around 2000, I think. Funny how we all get older, isn't it! We've done a couple of road trips together for wbb in the past (back when I had more time to go to them). Congrats on the 15 year anniversary! This forum wouldn't be the same without you!

Home from ER. They did blood work and an ekg. I was having numbness and pain in upper right arm but also having upper back pain between the shoulders since Monday.

Tests showed nothing bad although ER doctor said tests showed awhile back I did have some kind of mild heart attack. I'm extremely overweight and have history of high blood pressure.

Haven't had an appointment with my doctor since she cleared me to go back to work after my covid spell which was January of 2021. Have a physical scheduled for next Tuesday.

I've learned a lot from CyFan over the years: How to smoke meat, that 6 inches in the winter means something completely other than snow, and that I should always leave my socks on during sex. Lotta wisdom in these threads. It's like a one stop encyclopedia shop. LOL.
