That is possible...

I've noticed, on several occasions, where the Google bots are attempting
to find pages that do not exist. But, the pages that they are looking
for always seem to have an old GridironCampus or HoopsCampus forum link
inside of them. In a couple of the cases below, the link they are looking
for is a combination of 3 pages (or old pages) combined together.

The only place that I've recently seen these old "/bb/bigten/PUR/"
GridironCampus or HoopsCampus links is from visitors bookmarks. I wonder
how Google got a hold of them to start searching for them.
