About time for another Exit 109 roll call...

[Arizona Knight]

I know a bunch of us here go way back to the Exit 109 days. Back when we were discussing OO, imagine if someone would have told us we would not hear our name called until 2021?
Crazy.

 

[MadRU]

Was there also

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Same

 

[RUinsane]

[FrankZ]

Dial up. Holy crap. Everything was so slow.

And thank you, Steve Pikiell!

 

[Degaz-RU]

Was a 109 reader as well. Shout out to John O

 

[rufeelinit]

Wasn't that site run by a guy named Mike Fasano?

 

[RUPete]

Lurked there a bit but was mainly on the nj.com college hoops board before it went to hell. There were actually good RU and SHU posters there as well as good recruiting info.

 

[Rufaninga]

I moved to Georgia after graduating, that site was a lifeline for RU sports info.

 

[JoeRU]

Yup read Fasanos site before he had a message board

 

[RW90]

This. My eyes are still recovering from his black background.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Present. Exit109 was also the name of an ISP. I had an exit109 domain email address at one time.

 

[BKIn118]

Yep!

 

[wisr01]

Still here!!!!!!!

 

[nitinm]

I used to read Exit109 first thing in the morning when I was a student. I still remember seeing the post about Josh Moore coming to Rutgers in that white text on black background.

Ha! I remember that. Was the top center in the country allegedly.

2400 baud was a "breakthrough" lol...Mike Fasano sits a few rows behind me at the football games...

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Yup...from that era

 

[LC-88]

Was SCARLET IN CHAPEL HILL on EXIT109 site. Long time ago.

 

[RUBigFrank]

Me too.
He lives around corner from me.

 

[Goku]

was this the website before the mike and the big dog site? I remember going on that site for the first time around 2000 when I was a student at Rutgers.

 

[Mike from MD]

I actually resided in Maryland back then. Leaping Lou got the first Exit 109 tailgate organized in the Yellow Lot, Richmond game to open the 1998 season.

 

[LOU-RU85]

It’s amazing how many of us are still around. I seems we all truly are fans.

 

[Good-Knight]

Still keeping the faith. Hope Jelly, Norm, LCP, Bill90 and the other prolific posters that burned out are onboard with this team.

 

[ScarletNut]

I was on also, dialup on Prodigy, black and white screen.

 

[mikelongo]

Still here!

Crazy.

Yup. It's been a long haul. I now have a junior at RU who was just a twinkle in my eye at the time.

 

[e5fdny]

Not an Exit 109 alum but have been around since The Big Dog and the Mike Fasano days.

And I remember the rugtersfan.com tailgates in the Yellow Lot.

 

[Ready to Rumble]

I used the screen name RU Ready to Rumble in those days. I had to truncate it somewhere along the line when transferring to one of the new boards. I would frequently post in the early years. Not so much anymore.

 

[29PAS]

I was there too. Anyone remember the weekly (at least I think it was) paper "Rutgers Insider" newsletter? I think it was run by a Temple guy, last name Pastor. I re-upped for 2 years about a month before it went belly up.

 

[hrdcorhays]

I used the rutgersfan.com URL for a very long time until it no longer redirected.

 

[e5fdny]

I used the rutgersfan.com URL for a very long time until it no longer redirected.

So did I.

 

[RUnTeX]

Started as an Exit109 reader....man that black background was tough on the eyes. It was my lifeline to get some RU sports info in the late 90s when I was out in CA.

 

[ruman]

I was there - think remember predicting that Fred Gruninger would not be able to close the Tom Penders deal - didn't have to be a genius to predict that

 

[Degaz-RU]

I also miss the days of those detailed football practice reports by RingoesJim, back before GS shut them down.
