the 508 and 503 errors are pretty heavy this morning, requiring multiple page refreshes to get through. This is at approximately 7:35-7:40am in case you have log info to look over.


I'm seeing the same, late last night and continuing into today. I'll try to carve out some time to address it, but ...

Why are there over 500 guests on line?


I don't know for sure. My tech skills are modest at best. I've speculated on the causes earlier in this thread.


I thought you were going to fix the problem.


When I can carve out time, I will try. Please remember this is a hobby for me, not my full ...

Miami is now the only undefeated program in men's D-I, as Arizona lost at Kansas last night.

Miami hosts Ohio on Friday night, 9 PM on ESPN. Ohio is 3-6 in away games. Strong chance that Miami will still be undefeated when they visit Mullins in a week.

Banks got his second MAC POTW nod:

Lewis Walker update...

He continues to impress. He leads his team and is 5th in the CAA in scoring average, at 19.1 ppg. He just set NC A&T's freshman scoring record:

UM is gets a little bit of a bye this week, with no mid-week game, but an early weekend game: Friday night at Akron.

If you have a schedule from early-on, this shows up as a Saturday 2/14 game. That changed when CBS Sports Network wanted to air this one, and moved it up a day. 9 PM start.

Akron ...

Preface: I wasn't able to watch the entire game, and missed most of the OT.

Danny's liabilities were on full display today. I counted 3 times when Coastal tried to foul him, and I think they were all 1 and 1 situations. Good strategic move on their part. He's .348 from the line. Exploit that shit ...

Hyperbole alert!

Should we beat Sun Belt teams? Yes.
Should we claim rock bottom after losing one in 3OT on the road? No.

This game was not all negative.

Oof. Minutewomen picked next to last.

Not warm, but warmer for sure.

Conway SC: 44 and sunny
Amherst: 22 with a little snow

Will feel good by comparison.

How does the conference and UMass view Saturday’s MAC-SBC games? You always want to win, but how badly? Plenty of incentive for Miami or Akron, where a W improves their chances of an NCAAT at large or NIT with better seeding, and a loss would hurt a lot. If you’re EMU, CMU or any team towards the ...

See that and raise.
