I'm Not Dead Yet - Austin Ice Bats Hang On With AHL Stars on the Wing

4
Vote

by Mlnsports

ndy2007_sm.jpg

The Austin Ice Bats have been written off by the local paper, the Austin Statesman, and the TV media, but the players, the front office, and most importantly the fans won't let the club die. Why the 12 year old CHL minor league hockey franchise is worth saving, or promoting to the AHL if the Dallas Stars move into the neighboorhood, is the subject of my latest MAJOR BLOGS piece. [| I invite you to check it out.] The Ice Bats need hockey fans' help, major or minor!

This is the closest attempt by MLN to actually contributing an article.

Hey Ty buddy! Good seeing you! Wouldn't be a day on armchairGM without your wit and insight. Have a great day. I'm really looking forward to your next flame as agm's self-appointed critic and posting vigilante.

Actually, I don't think you are supposed to make an article that is nothing more than a link to your blog. You are supposed to copy and past your blog article into AGM along with a link to your blog. I would be very interested in your article as a hockey fan, but I don't think it is fair to come to this site just to poach hits on your blog.

You don't provide a service to Armchair, Minsports. All you do is phish for members by posting teasers and a link to the site. How many Armchair members have actually signed up with you?

Providing news is a service. You won't find any of the other publications taking their copyrighted material by paid writers and dumping it on to AGM, Kels. Every other sports SSE, and you can go see for yourself, has connectivity to this kind of content,and its no big deal. The difference between the modern SSE and the old-style "bulletin board" sites that are going away is that they blend both access to professional news sources, writers working the news, and fans and fan commentary. FanNation. Ballhype. Yardbarker. People want to talk sports, but they also want to read about sports. We provide a kind of sports news that no one else in the marketplace does at a national level. You would have to visit 100 newspapers, and even then they don't do the kind of in-depth player profiles on prospects and local top stars that we do. We've had a bunch of folks from AGM sign up. We've had a lot of others read our free services like The Raw Feed. You guys want to dog this stuff? Great. Ty will ultimately be right. CNN/SI will suck up 80% of your traffic in the next year with an $80million marketing campaign that they have under way to take control of the web, and then you really will hear crickets. Have a great day guys.

What a load of bullshit. Yeah, great to know Mr. Harvard here is fighting for all the little guys out there on the web. For a fee of course.

Only one of our four publications is subscription. That allows guys like you who have their lunch money taken away from them by the big kids on the playground to still read. Have a great day at anger management, and make sure to wear your rubbers. It's icy out there.

Where the hell do you get off thinking that you have some type of right here to spam this website when all other contributors here post FULL articles? As for Public Relations/Marketing, you are a facking failure.

Quit being such clown shoes MInSports...

The AGM community (Based on my understanding) has no issue with you posting links to your site, but generally, they would also like the full article, otherwise it'll get ignored (hence the 4 votes)...

its considered bad etiquitte around here to do what you do...and you'll find people like TB ripping you....normally, you'll first get a warning or suggestion from someone like me to post the ful article...now you're being a dick...

I don't think you're getting it

This a$$hole has been warned repeatedly.

MLN doesn't give a fack about Armchair. It is all about his dumb blog to rip money off others.

Thanks for posting JuT. I encourage others to do so as well. Otherwise this bullshit of spamming the 'Chair will continue and cover up other REAL articles that are posted in FULL such as that incredible effort on the Rangers yesterday.

I'm sure MLN will have some brilliant minor league perspective on the Mitchell Report. Of course it will cost everyone here about $10 to read it.

Well since MLN's pages are devoted to commerical enterprising that has nothing to do with the 'Chair, I figure from now on I will just set up my brand spanking new Amway business here.... Who wants to earn a residual 6 figure income for the rest of their lives by doing a home-based business part-time?????
