Three posts, three links. Enough. If you have something to contribute, post it to the board. If not, don't post. And the site you linked needs some serious work.

Could you please point me towards the "article" because it wasn't linked

unless you count copying and pasting and adding one sentence of "prediction."

You don't come here and post nothing but links to your own site, especially when the site is turrible. Please at least capitalize SEC.

....and this site is so stellar right? pretty sure the 16,000+ followers and 20,000 hits we get per week say otherwise. We'll make sure to let our followers know NOT to visit here. Thanks.

Shall I let collegebaseballinsider.com know you use their stuff as your own?

Pimping a plagarized site. Awesome work, Chad.

Should we send an email to the owners of CBI first?

To let them know that their work is being passed off as SEC Sports Insider material with no credit given?

But they get 20k hits a week! No matter this site does that by lunch

on a Tuesday. Also the telling people not to come here and yet still posting new threads is a little odd.

Cool with me if you tell your many thousands of fans not to come here.

Here's a little feedback for you to chew on. Thankfully this piece only has 30 views, so you have time to improve it before the other 19,970 expected hits.

[h=2]Previewing Mississippi State’s 2014 Season[/h]

MSU Football
Chris Cole


Mississippi State has a lot of weight to carry in the upcoming 2014 season. {Huh? Is that a fat joke?}

MSU is looking to capitalize on a 7-6 record in 2013 when they were picked to finish tied for last with Arkansas. {How does one capitalize on last year's record, and what does last year's preseason ranking have to do with that? Also, we were picked ahead of Arkansas, if you care about actual facts.}


QUARTERBACKS
Mississippi State has a lot of credit to give to returning starting quarterback Dak Prescott. At 6’2 with a weight of 235 it’s no wonder why Prescott lead the SEC in rushing touchdowns at 17. Prescott threw for 1940 yards in 2013 with seven yards per attempt completing 156 passes. {This is just bad writing. "Has a lot of credit to give to..."? Turrible. Jot this down. Restating stats in sentence form isn't a good idea and makes for awkward sentence structures. Also, the past tense of lead is led. "It's no wonder why....." LOL Nice use of "why" there. As for the stats, Dak had 13 rush TDs last year. He did have four the year before, so are you trying to say he is the SEC's active leader in rushing touchdowns? If so, write it like I wrote it so people know what you are talking about.}


RECEIVERS

Mississippi State’s receiving corp will bring a lot of strength to their offense. Returning leading receiver Jameon Lewis will be the main target for Prescott. Lewis caught 64 passes for 923 yards last season and averaged just over 14 yards per carry. Lewis will strive to gain consistency in the upcoming season. Lewis recorded four games in 2013 with three or less receptions.
{Corp? You're looking for "corps" there chief. Jameon Lewis didn't average 14 yards per carry. He averaged nine. If you were trying to do the math on his yards per reception, then 14.4 is correct. For an area that will "bring a lot of strength" to the offense, it would seem like Bear Wilson, Malcolm Johnson and Robert Johnson merited a mention. Here's a lesson on using fewer and less. If you can count something, like receptions, use fewer. If you can't count it, use less. Don't believe me? Google fewer and less and check it out.}



DEFENSE
MSU has been notorious for big men up front and that’s just what they are planning on bringing to the table once again. Mississippi State has eight returning defensive lineman all of which saw the field 10 times last season. Mississippi State has always done well at stopping the run but struggled last season in getting in the backfield. MSU had four sacks against Rice in the Liberty Bowl and totaled 20 on the season in 2013. MSU coaches have high expectations in their linebackers corps. The bulldogs return two of three starters including Benardrick McKinney. McKinney is MSU’s leading tackler at 6’5 and 235 and recorded 53 tackles last year. The junior hopes to improve this season to when he was a freshman and recorded 102 tackles according to athlonsports.com.

{Your best paragraph, but that's not saying much. "...all of which saw.." Which refers to things; who/whom refers to people. Good job on getting corps right here. Need a capital B on Bulldogs. McKinney had 71 tackles last year. The last sentence is poorly written and doesn't need a citation to Athlon's. Again, we have 11 guys on defense. No mention of Chris Jones? Matt Wells? Preston Smith?}

That's the whole season preview? No mention on special teams? Actually, thank you for that. Not a single mention of the schedule in a season preview? That's a novel approach. It's almost like you are just throwing logos on a page and listing a few names and stats in an effort to get clicks without providing a shred of actual good content.

You missed their top 5 QB's preview which had neither Bo Wallace nor Nick Marshall ranked. They did have LSU's backup Anthony Jennings number 5 though.

Thinks Stansbury fire was worst in school history. Yikes.

I had to stop after the "preview" and seeing a tweet on the side stating Ladarius Perkings (sp) was headed to Green Bay.

That guy is mistaking "hits" for something they are not. You get credit for a website hit every time you show up on a google search whether they click on the site or not. There are some other ways too I think. The only thing that matters is page views, and his site even lists the views which top out around 30 on each article. That's a slight step above your mom and dad clicking on your blog each day, and a step below your average 13 year old with a blogspot.

Plagiarism isn't the best way to begin your journalism career.

Ban hammers weren't even necessary.

I am so happy that you will tell 10s of people to not come to the Pack. I just question where you will find a statement like that to plagiarize. It seems too specific.

This may not be "6 Pack Remembers" quality thread but its awesome:
1. Dude visits Pack to ***** product out
2. Dude violates big rule of business (especially if you are new) your 'customers aren't always right but they are never wrong' and gets in verbal altercation w/ potential readers
3. Dude trades jabs w/ readers
4. Website and all those 16K viewers disappear.....

That and the copy and pasting of other reporter's work without citation.

Unlicensed and plagiarism. Not a solid business model.

I think it is SPS Remembers quality. Good one to point to the next time some bozo tries the same type stuff.
