D-I NCAA Tournament Plans

Traditionally, the forum would get slow around tourney time, but that was because there was a lot more traffic/interest. I wouldn't think that would be the case now. But it might be possible that because there has been reduced activity this year, hits are down, advertising revenue is down, so maybe the owners have opted for a reduced level of service. I don't know, but it seems like it is a possibility.

The thing that's driving me the craziest is that it takes two clicks to open any link. Like what the hell?

That and there's no way for it to just take you to your last viewed post within a thread.

Once a topic thread is open, under the 'title' and right next to the "Post" button, there is a "Latest Activity" button (not well differentiated, as may be easy to miss) which will cause the whole comment thread to reload with 'latest' the first comment listed. (In case that's what you mean, and are not seeing it.)

But then, no, no 'last viewed' indication of any kind; you just have to remember from your last time reading.

Haha honestly I can't find the lie.

I don't think this year would have less meaning if BC won it all this year. It would be special in its own way, in the sense that the players will have had to go through a whole lot to have earned it. It would be different, but not less good. Also, as a BC fan, beggars can't be choosers.

PS This forum is still maddening to navigate, seriously.

Well Said Grant! The welcome distraction of watching women's hockey has been awesome. All the Players and Programs and schools have made significant sacrifices and investments to let the girls play. With that being said it does not diminish the significance or effort it has taken for players and programs to function in this far from perfect world we live in. Great to have you back even under less than ideal forum conditions and functionality. How are those BC girls doing? I miss the updates.

They're having a good year! Next year seems to be the next real shot at being a contender, but they are playing well enough to make noise and already know they can beat NU (although the Huskies are playing all-world right now). So, hey, who knows!

Hey, I just had a thought that is a "silver lining" to an eight-team COVID bubble all played in Erie:

No having to fret about who travels where, and how they'll mess with the Pairwise pairs to achieve it! They can leave the pairings alone, or make switches to avoid rematches or set up east-vs-west if they choose.

Anyone have any knowledge as to whether Erie will allow fans?
