The birth of The SWAC Page

[Kenn Rashad]

This is what The SWAC Page looked like back in 1997 when it first launched as a test site. There are probably only a hand full of you who remember those days! Boy, how we have grown! :lol:

The SWACPage is turning 5 this year?!?!

It started out with the football coverage and blew up between 97 and 98 with the birth of the message board.
Happy birthday SWACPage and congrats Kenn!! 5 years and still going!! Where did you get that Indian from? I've never seen that one before.

I remember the site in its infancy!

I typed SouthWestern Athletic Conference in a search engine, and it was one of the 10,000,000,000,000 sites that came up! Sure as "L" looks better now than it did then! Thank goodness for technology and Rashad Communications!

I think I got it from the USA Today website during that time.

I can remember visiting the swacpage back in the early days when there would be interviews with SWAC Coaches and editorials on the front page by Jeff Duplessis. The SWACPAGE has come a long way.

Great Job Kenn!!!

I was the GRAMMAR NAZI before I got the name!

Where is Jeff, by the way? I remember once he had done a commentary, and he used the abbreviation for Alaska as the abbreviation for Arkansas. Of course I called him on that one ... *smh* @ me and my anal retentive quest for grammatical excellence ...
