I was there too. I loved the original FFF. The internet was a new frontier, and the idea that I could indulge my TCU obsession at any time was the greatest thing ever. Getting the board to load on my dial-up connection was a challenge, but it was fun. My handle, which has always been terrible, referenced TCU’s new affiliation with the 16 team WAC.
Wes was on the board as “Tired of Frank,” demanding TCU do better than then AD. Chris Farkas was a regular too, I remember. And Old Scribe. I definitely remember Top and a few others that are still around. Limp maybe?
KFC starting announcing itself before the FFF was ever sold. It was a seamless transition from one board to the next.
Don and Wes are true pioneers of internet sports media.
