I do NOT like new redesigned ESPN website.  Has there been a poll on this anywhere?

Mods may move to appropriate forum. 
If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?

There is nothing wrong with the Hogs, that cannot be cured by what is right with the Hogs!

For all of the money ESPN has they have a bad UX mobile experience.

On the desktop it's not that bad IMO.  Haven't looked at it on the mobile yet.

I totally agree, it stinks. If it ain't broke, fix it anyway. The old page was much better than this one. This one is just way too clunky, cluttered, and non-user friendly. You can't even read it that well.

That's an interesting discussion. I know the reason management types make these decisions. The thinking is, 'if we don't evolve and change constantly, then we're not growing and we will be accused of being stodgy and stuck in our ways, and non-innovative and cutting edge'.

But then you sometimes get things like this.

I couldn't agree more.  I actually liked the old one.

Nah dude, it stinks even worse on desktop. completely hate the redesign. it doesn't even flow right aesthetically. FWIW, I am a former UI/UX engineer for 5 years, and i would have fired the designer for bringing me this design...

Off topic as well, but who remembers CNN sports tonight?  Fred Hickman and nick Charles.  Rivaled Sportscenter for awhile.  Fell off after those two left.  They were "famous" for their play of the day.  Were they the first to do that daily?

Seems like it's been going down hill for a few years now, to be honest.

I'm the opposite. I never surf the web recreationally on my desktop. Only on my phone and iPad.

And it is fairly crappy, but I'm used to it now.

I'm not on it enough to notice.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

it's sort of ok on my ipad.

Desktop it's god awful, and can't figure out where to look at anything. No flow to it at all.

I guess.  You could always do like me.  I rarely go to ESPN's site and rely on you guys to post up relevant articles and just follow the link  ;)

Both the ESPN and the SI sites are craptastic with their redesigns.  Don't know whether to give them two thumbs down or two middle fingers up.

Yeah, pretty much anything Razorback related online is going to end up posted on Hogville one way or the other.

Between here, and Reddit's College Football Subreddit for general college football discussion (Reddit is basically another type of message board, for those unfamiliar with it), I don't see the need to go to ESPN.com.  It all ends up here or there, usually very quickly.

I remember 'Play of the Week' on the George Michael Sports Machine......geez, I'm old

But yes, I do remember Fred and Nick on CNN Sports.  It was a solid show but depending on who was hosting SportsCenter that night, I might miss CNN Sports Night in favor of SportsCenter. 

I miss Dan and Keith.   
SI featured a story on CNN's Van Earl Wright in their annual summer 'Where are they now?' issue.

Speaking of a top duo like Dan and Keith, I think the late night pair of Neil Everett and Stan Verrett is very, very good. They complement each other perfectly.

I didn't like it at first, but now I'm used to it. Prefer the old site because I spent more time on the old site. The scrolling content of the new site makes it more difficult, or seem more difficult, to find content I'm interested in. Now I just cruise over to see the top few stories and then leave.

What is this CNN of which you speak?

The new ESPN site is awful.....

It's awful, but I don't like the new 247 design, either.  I don't keep up with web design anymore, but it seems like everyone's coming out with similar designs that are horrible.  Anyone know why?

On the bright side, I stopped visiting ESPN regularly several years ago, so I'm not missing anything.

One good thing it has going for it is the twitter sidebar.  It keeps me updated across all sports while I'm reading articles etc.

I have been an ESPN hater for over a decade.  I hate how their presence how screwed up sports to a major degree.

But I love the new website.  I find it so much easier to browse the topics, finds scores, etc..
