After I graduated, I needed something to keep me up to date with MSU news. Strange enough, I had heard of Gene's Page but I had never visited the site. So
I bought a subscription to the Rivals MSU site back when Haralson was running the show. One day some dude mentioned "That six pack board is posting all
the breaking news for free. Somebody needs to do something about that." I pm'ed the guy, got the URL, and cancelled my subscription.

...and what I'd heard about SPS allowing people to voice opinions appealed to me because that's what I was accustomed to when I subscribed to the
dawgnews listserv.
My experiences with Gene's Page have been pretty much negative for the most part. While I've not gotten to the point of losing my temper and getting myself banned (meaning I still have a Gene's Page account), I've probably made ten posts there in the past five years and rarely lurk their messageboard.1 I lurked for a few weeks here, found the site to be tolerable, and decided to post. _________ 1Mostly because opinionated discussions weren't allowed (which I thought to be quite odd for a messageboard) & too many untolerable posters. I understand that the policy's been loosened up some, but it's too little, too late, as far as I'm concerned. |

I came over to read, therefore the nickname "avidreader." Then I thought I would chime in and give an opinion but that was not accepted too well.
It turned into very personal attacks by a couple of the pack. So I mainly read it about once a week for a good laugh or two. Oh yeah, Genie banned me too,
that piece of shit.
I have to say that I am the only member of this board who has a day named after him even though I do not permit my name to be used anymore. It's nice to be the man on that one day of the year. They liked me so much that they bestowed this honor on me. ha ha ha If you come here you had better be thick skinned like me. Otherwise they will chew you up and spit you out. and lastly, it pays to be handy with a camera. |

I guess it was 2004 and I had just joined a softball team comprised of you and a few of your 6 pack colleagues. You mentioned that you had State website I
should check out so I did. I must say that your computer skills and web creativity are in direct contrast to your softball ability. You have done a great job
here and I thoroughly enjoy it. My most regrettable post, however, was calling you out on the tennis court. Who swings a racket like that who swings a bat like
that??

misssportstalk.com. I'd been posting on there in the senior college forum and was apparently a negative enough MSU fan to warrant a PM from some guy called
DawgBear asking if I posted on sixpackspeak.com. I'd never heard of it before. That was around 2004 I guess. Still don't post much, obviously, but I
read it pretty much every day.

...a rabid Ole Miss fan, of all places. I was an avid reader for a while, then Houston 2003 pushed me over the edge and I registered and started posting. From
a friend's apartment in Houston. I think KentuckyDawg13 offered up some empathy after my initial rant.

who frequents Wayne's Auburn Board for the non-sports chatter and, there, I saw a link to the Six Pack in one of Mutt the Hoople's posts. I'd long before quit reading Gene's board because the level of sunshine pumping made sports content hopeless there, and their general inferiority complex leading to mandatory Rule 18 violations in every thread made it unreadable otherwise. |

I came over because as a lurker on jeans every time someone posted something with some sense it would magically disappear. Then I read bits and pieces about
the whole conspiracy that lead to the official sixpackspeak so I became an avid lurker here. Then the purges began so I decided to join and post a little.
The rumors provided enough for me to switch. I just love a good rumor. The Friday Fourplay, AOTD, C34's constant Stans-baiting, and the rumors provide plenty of sports related entertainment. None of which is allowed on jeans club. Plus I can't stand looking at that stupid 17 about as much as I can't stand reading the constant prayer requests, ringtone questions, and wondering of deleted posts. My life has been much better for the last eversohowmanyyears of not looking at his site. Thanks |

at the pasture about the new site and I googled "sixpackspeak". I'm sure the thread was deleted by the Shepard pretty quick.
I was a few weeks late to the party, but I've been here since the summer of 2003. Robert Elliot lives across the street from me. I was watching the whole fucking time. The Ole Miss coaches came out of the house and Croom and Melvin Smith
pull up on dubz riding spinners. Freeze gets pissed and whips out his cell phone. Croom and Smith pull off with Jermaine Dupree blaring "Money Ain't a
Thing." Croom flipped off the Ole Miss coaches as they were riding off.

Travis linked me on the swan board | #57 | ||

Posts: 1117 04/08/09 10:13 AM |
it was 2003 on sheepland, and after 2 full seasons of excuses from the mullet and the Oregon love fest that was going on even after getting our ass handed to
us, I knew something was wrong. Travis posted something to the effect of "if you're tired of drinking the kool-aid head over here" and linked
SPS. I probably clicked the link 30 seconds before Gene deleted it. I read the first few threads here and realized it was more in line of how I felt about
where our programs were headed.
I haven't posted much over the years, but I've enjoyed the hell out of this board. Many thanks to everyone involved in the administrative positions. I hope you guys don't harbor any hate for me disappearing during the first SPS fantasy football league. Real life called plus I forgot my yahoo login. |

if I had a gmail account back then, this never would have happen. All kudos go to Hotmail and their 2MB capacity inbox circa 2003.
I remember sending out PM's to Mutt, Indndawg, Arrow, and ESPN Dawg getting them over. I also remember the thread we called "Cowpower, it's time to come home." That's a guy that came full circle, he was a full on sheep in 2003.

Then one day they were ridiculing the Spirit so I went over there to see what the fuss was about. In a thread there I found out about SPS and realized I
finally found a place where honest talk about MSU sports was not only appreciated, but also wouldn't get you banned. To you, sixpackspeak, I raise my
Styrofoam coffee cup high and toast.
