History Q: What year did SPS start?

[BouncyBalldog]

Been a member now for a short while and did a little research on the "Sixpack Remembers" section.

I see the last "Remembers" post as being 4/29/03. So SPS started back in 2003?

So was it during the end of the Sherrill era or at the inception of the Croom era?

I just assumed this board began as a way to combat & fight the apathy of the Crxxm-era because the motto/creed being: "Abandon all hope ye who cheer for the maroon and white."</p>

_________________________________________________ Not sure what year it formed but I believe it started becuase anyone that questioned or criticized LT, the Kang, Stans or Polk on the other board pretty soon found themselves with no where to vent.

<font class="BodyText">The Six Pack - A group of posters that arrived on the Swan's internet message board in the summer of 2002. The Moses of the group, Squintdawg, started the revolution with the now infamous "6-6 is about the best MSU football will do" post. The core group is Squintdawg, Cuzdawg, crackerdog, ExtremeDog, QuitBeggin, and dawgstudent. Contrary to popular belief, Heydog is not an original member, however, he was the last to be banned. Honorary members include but are not limited to heydog6, willi13, dawgpound11, dawgman13, and jsireland.</font></p>

<font class="BodyText"><font class="BodyText"><font class="BodyText">Six Pack Message Board (origin) - The guys known as the Six Pack were, as of April 2003, mostly banned from another message board, so in order to have free discussions about MSU, the Six Pack emailed. Unfortunately for heydog, he cannot access a computer at work, so he literally came home to 100 messages per day from the guys on April 7th, 2003 - April 8, 2003.. Dawgstudent asked if the Six Pack just wanted a message board. Out of convenience and a desire to do what the other message board had asked us to anyway, we set it up. The Six Pack invited a few of the posters who we knew agreed with us on the other message board, but to be honest, nearly all of us thought our membership would top out around 50 or so, and we were fine with that.</font></font></font></p>

but wasn't the coup de grace (read it like Jack Cristal would say it) after the Auburn series that year?
