RaginCajuns.com ... the offline fiasco of 2006-2007

So we simply halt the flow of information until after football season???

Our lack of a website right now was the butt of many media jokes in Houston.

I think that it's great to upgrade the website...
But to offer nothing in the interim [during the time when we need info the most] is just plain stupid.

i don't think we are the butt of any jokes in houston right now!

Yeah, Houston has enough problems right now. Oh well, that's what you get for not doing your homework.

I am sure the website will be worth the wait!

Progress can sometimes be painful. As I'm sure you can tell things are improving everyday but a little more time will be required to get to the point where things like this will not happen. Just be glad that this kind of stuff used to be due to neglect but now it's do to progress. Hang in there it will be worth it.

Hopefully they will have the site up and running before the fall sports are over. Even though the volleyball season has been tougher than any of us anticipated it's hard being a "stat hound" like me because I have to go our opponents websites to get complete box scores and play-by-play. I do appreciate the Athletic Network website and all they are doing to keep the line of communication open by posting the articles written by Matt Hebert regarding volleyball.

If at all possible can we get a more definitive idea of when the website will be up and running?

Yes, it's great that they are updating the look of the website. However, it IS quite silly to not update the old site in the interim. You never stop udating the old version while you are building a new version.

But I'm wondering if they are having difficulties accessing the current host, preventing updates.

All they could say was 2-3 weeks. There is a fair amount of stats on the Sun Belt web site. Hope this helps.

They didn't think it was a joke when they looked up at the scoreboard at the end did they?

Thanks for your response. 2-3 weeks isn't so bad. I've looked at the stats on the Sunbelt website but they are conference standings and not individual team stats. At least this weekend I'll be able to keep my own stats and see what's up with the team as volleyball will be at UNT and I will be there with my red on!

Sorry, I meant 2-3 months............

[perrott fan]

2 - 3 months is a LONG time ............ the next time we get our alumni letters asking for money, maybe we should check a new box for WEBSITE !!

Yes, I think FAU should and probably will look bad due to their stadium capacity and attendance. I think it will on a national level make the sunbelt look weak. But that to me is something a school handles over time.

My problem is... A national audience. What if we win big and impress people that don't know of us, great. So, people head for our athletic website to learn more about the team and school. What will they find? An apology.

I'm not upset that the school is in the process of making much needed improvements in that area. But why does the old site have to be non operational in the meantime (1) and (2) if we knew this was going to take place could we not have timed it better like say in the summer when there are no sports taking place... oh no that makes tooo much sense lets do it in the middle of a nationally televised game, yeh. I mean, it's not like national television is a big deal to our program and we are on television all the time, Duh.

I love UL and always will, I just feel like we don't get many opportunities to earn respect, and the timing of this website change is definately an opportunity missed. I just hope the site is up for the N.O. Bowl.

Yeah, and remember that you are among those that have discovered the information available on this and other message boards. The average fan looks for an athletic dept web page and right now they are not finding one. Poor timing.

I'm at work today keeping my game day tradition of sporting some gear. Since I am at work, I sort of double as an advertisment. Many people have asked why I'm wearing red on Wednesday (I usually go red on Friday) which has prompted a discussion of tonight's game. The discussion ends there, but what if it didn't? An apology about the web page would follow.
