Born 1984, I am firmly in the Oregon Trail generation.
Yep. Born in '78, I'm towards the start of the Oregon Trail generation. 

It's funny, a bunch of us were talking about growing up when we celebrated my wife's birthday as her close friend AND the kids were all together. And we were talking about what it would be like if the kids had to grow up the way we did. 

It made me realize that the amount of change in daily life between 1984 and 2004 was pretty much meaningless when compared to the amount of change between 2004 and 2024. And if you go 1974-1994 (so pre-internet), it's even more stark. 

Back in 2004 we had the internet, but didn't really have "social media" in any meaningful sense. We had cell phones, but the smart phone hadn't been invented so nobody was thinking about "apps" for their phone. If you wanted navigation you had to buy a [very expensive] GPS for your car. If you wanted a camera you had to buy a camera and carry it around. If you wanted to watch TV you simply fired up cable or satellite--there was no streaming. Hell, if you wanted to watch a movie you didn't own, you went to the video store or waited for Netflix to mail you a physical DVD.

It's a different world.

He stayed AAA until about half-way through MSU, I think. Then he became a Spartan fan and changed to ELA. 2005/6 maybe?

Memory fades.
That sounds right? I know that I started getting on CFB message boards around 2004 or 2005. And I was definitely on the Wisconsin Scout board/reading CFN. 

I know that I started spending time here at some point before the end of the 2007 season because I remember having a conversation with SF about where to watch the bowl that year (which meant that I wasn’t super new at that point). And I remember AAA.

screaming hot take after watching all the first round games: Michigan is in the playoff for a 4th year in a row if JJ McCarthy had come back for his SR year. JJ comes back they actually would've had a functional offense and not fucked their defense over time and time again- they also probably get a porthole WR or two actually worth a shit in the spring window that would want to play with JJ, and oh yeah their best player on defense doesn't just shut it down for the year 5 games into the season and they are like 10-2 or 11-1 and in the playoff with that defense and special teams they have.

And JJ is probably the #1 overall pick in the 2025 draft because my god this upcoming draft sucks ass for QB's. Oh well.

Hmmm, that doesn’t feel screaming hot.

He would’ve had to be better than he was last year, but the defense was top 11 quality already. Three of those losses would’ve been not the hardest to flip with competent quarterback play. Would’ve needed to take one from Oregon/Texas/OSU, and the Buckeyes may have approached that game more intelligently if he was there.

it feels like with him they’re about a 50-50 shot, maybe a hair better.

I think Carson Beck might be a better pro QB than college.   He was solid last season.  Depends on his recovery.

Oh yeah sorry I forgot GR as one of the young 'uns.

By the way Oregon Trail has been around since the early 70s.  Heck even old geezers like Fearless could have played it in high school...

Born in 1967 (a week from this Friday), I'm more of a boomer. Really don't fit with GenX.
