Board Outage Monday May 2

Wow. What an odyssey. All I did was try and update to a newer version of the software, and KA-BLAMMO!!!

It took me and ahunte1 about 12 hours combined to figure out a fix.

On the plus side, THE EDITING BUTTONS (e.g. BOLD, italic, underline, quote, etc.) on the row below the Subject line are now ...

Re: Message Board Outage 10/26-27

The funds raised thus far should probably cover the additional costs through the end of the basketball season.

Because I didn't personally make the transition to WordPress on the blog/content side, I didn't realize that there were about 15000-20000 files added to the site to support WordPress. This ...

The message board reached a file limit on October 26, and was inoperable from Sunday morning to early afternoon on Monday, October 27. The site has been upgraded (thanks to donations) and should be operating normally from now on.

Donation Opportunities

Right now, this site is running about 20% underwater on web hosting fees, and much further behind on breaking even with other expenses (research subscriptions, travel, software and upgrades, etc.).

If you feel like making a small donation to Ramblermania ($10-$40 preferred), here's a link to do so ...

From Now On I'm JCT

I haven't been able to figure out how to remove the intimidating red bold text on my posts, so I'm going to switch to "JCT" from now on, except for administrative things.

Just another reminder-- I have no ability to see your passwords, and I don't share your email addresses with anyone. Also-- If ...

Cross Country at Illinois Stare

Just back from the ISU/Country Financial Invitational at Weibring Golf Course at ISU. It was unbelieveably cold for Sept. 12, cloudy, windy, and a few raindrops that made the course soft and slippery in some places.

Loyola's Sam Penzenstadler finished 2nd overall on the men's side, about six ...

Re: NCAA outlook/Athletic Funding

Great article, Go. I didn't know the exact number, but this quote says it all:

"According to an NCAA report released in August, expenses exceeded generated revenue in the past decade at all but 20 of 345 Division I schools reporting."

All of which were BCS Football-playing schools. So we're ...

Re: 2015-16 Schedule-- Yes, 2015-16

Agree with you, 63. I don't know the inner workings of scheduling but imagine a lot of work gets done early. Was thinking about it a bit...remember back in '06-'07 when we were OT away from the conf championship with a legit shot at the tourney? Check out the schedule from that year: m

Re: 2015-16 Schedule-- Yes, 2015-16

Playing only two non-con home games against teams with better than 200 RPIs over the past three years has really killed us from a strength of schedule and attendance aspect. Who is going to get excited about wins over a team that won ONE game against a D-1 opponent last year (Southern Utah), two non ...
