Gene officially retires from Genespage...

[dawgstudent]

without him - there would be no SixPackSpeak. It's pretty amazing that he has had a website that is 25+ years old.

So you're saying it's his Swan song?

 

[Cooterpoot]

He's ducking out?

 

[Lettuce]

That old coot!

 

[Ralph Cramden]

That's where the large majority of the news that's on this page comes from. Happy retirement. It's definitely time. Will it now become Stevespage? Lol

It’s pretty amazing that people paid him for content for 25+ years.

 

[MStateU]

Fro no more.

Will we retire his jorts at halftime of the Memphis game?

 

[horshack.sixpack]

It was my first message board ever. Rarely posted just lurked. Quit whenever it became a pay for access deal.

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

First and only time I met him was in Eugene OR when we played the Ducks out there - maybe 2005 ??
He was walking along a street in Eugene about a mile from team hotel and we stopped, asked if he needed a ride, he jumped in the back and off we went back to hotel.
My only Gene encounter.

 

[Shmuley]

He threw me out in '03 after I asked if we were signing 12 year olds to play QB under Croom. That camp photo of Henig was embarrassing.

 

[FreeDawg]

Good riddance Gene

 

[Cooterpoot]

It's a dark jeans day in the recruiting service business.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

I Read this in Aunt Ethel’s voice

 

[aTotal360]

The side by side of Henning and that dtackle from LSU was a perfect representation of the 2 programs at that moment in time.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

I never paid for the site but they put out a lot of good info. I just can't see paying monthly for something that will be common knowledge within a day or two.

 

[Bulldawg77]

So this was IT??? Well damn

 

[Nunya.sixpack]

Cannot recall when I got thrown off that board. Much like every board, once the pearl clutchers and Karen's take hold its too late for sharing raw opinion. Guess that would have been 02 03 timeframe.

 

[hatfieldms]

I do it more to support one of the school fan sites. Which was originally supposed to be Paul.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

Is he the reason Chris Peterson did not come to MSU?

 

[ScoobaDawg]

It’s pretty amazing that people paid him for content for 25+ years.

Lots of $1 promotions and $5 year stuff. Refused to pay full price ever... Never gave him a penny at that till I wanted to keep reading Paul's stuff.

DS good on you for keeping it going all this time too bud. I joined gp when I was about to graduate high school and head to Scooba. It didn't take long for me to find you like many others because of genes ridiculous censorship.

I really do hope they change the name...

 

[GhostOfJackie]

As much as we have made fun of him and his page over the years, he is one of the best Bulldog fans alive. As Rick Stansbury said before he left MSU, "you haven't missed anything Gene, you haven't missed anything".

 

[archdog]

I feel like our trip to Eugene was in 2002 for some reason. Joey Harrington's replacement lit us up. our QB didn't make the trip due to some tires.

 

[mstateglfr]

But all of you are part of our Gene's Page family. It is a family because what we write about on this website is something near and dear to all of us, Mississippi State sports.

He has kicked hundreds(thousands?) of people out of his family thru the years.

 

[Cooterpoot]

Gene was all State. From sleeping with recruits moms, to hiding out recruits, to tailing Hugh, to telling John Cohen who to hire, to help a Memphis area state supporter chase down recruiting violations at OM. He kicked all you Rebs off his board, all you guys that posted "duck" pics & called his namesake Swan Lake. The guy has done it all for State. Here he is in his prime***:

Tire-gate is so surreally ridiculous next to today's open market.....

What will really blow your mind is considering that many moons ago we actually were put on probation and had to forfeit wins because a player got a discount on clothes.

It’s pretty amazing that people paid him for content for 25+ years.

Not only it was enough so that he was able to feed his family and pay his bills.

I remember when it was a simple no graphics board that looked the old usenet newsgroups. He was one the early guys with a sports message board. There was also board like his for Ole Miss fans (olemissfans.com) hosted by Bill, an engineer in Shreveport, LA. Same usenet format. That board is long gone.

Things have changed a wee bit.

 

[DawgInThe256]

Thanks for the scuttlebut

 

[Maroonthirteen]

I was always appreciative of the "Monday morning coffee break" as it inspired the "Monday morning sh** break."
