Let those in charge know how the fans feel about Hogwired. I don't think I'm getting too extreme when I say it's probably the most pathetic website that any Major Division 1 school has. It is never up to date. For the past two days, I've been trying to get on and view some of the reports. Out of about 10 attempts, only 1 has worked. Heaven forbid we actually put interactive video's, interviews, virtual tours, etc. on it. And I'd bet that potential recruits look at it as well.
Once again:



HOGWIRED SUCKS! I HATE IT!

You know, I have never thought about it before but you are right.  Our sight is truly embarrassing.

I've heard that they are hiring a webmaster. I'll ask about that today when I'm over there.

Yeah, I tried to get on there last night and it would not pull up on the internet.  We could use some crack pots getting interested in helping sell the U of A on the internet.  More and more people and especially recruits look at this stuff.  Fans too.  It would be nice to get that site modernized!

I too had trouble getting on yesterday and today, I bet they are having a server error / problem.
The first thing I heard today was that he grew up on a pig farm. That's quite a start in my book. And my last memory was watching him hang 70 on Nebraska. Just those two facts are enough (for me to like him). Then, I hear that he's out of the Hayden Fry-Bill Snyder-Barry Alvarez coaching tree. Oh, that's enough for me to like a lot. Then, I hear he's got a 27-year-old wife. Okay, we can stop. I like him.

They are NOT hiring a webmaster. Apparently they are planning some changes but the SID people who are already over worked will continue to operate Hogwired.

So it will continue to SUCK.

I've tried to pull that darn site up, no luck. 

Is there anywhere one can find an updated roster?  I figure the one on Hogwired is probably still out of date.

The Professor

Hogwired is very weak..... look at the Longhorns website... it has everything, and something I really like about theirs is that is shows future schedules. HoustonNutt.com is not bad, the info is not real up to date but it looks much better than Hogwired.

  ;)  Word has it... it is a two pronged attack against internet message boards. They're closing practice in tandem with putting up a crappy web page that represents U of A Athletics, just to hack off message board enthusiast, and "Make the media actually work for a living"  ;) I don't have any inside information or anything. But I have cousin named Mitch that had his hair cut by a guy in Houston who told me that!  ;D

Ha.  It must be an ongoing thing, because Hogwired has always sucked hind tit.

For one, Arkansas doesn't have much of the future schedules done -- Utah State, ULM, TCU, USC, and the SEC schedule.

Hogwired has the concept down, but nothing to go with it.  I also like Michigan's site.

Not that I'm trying to push my Aggie propaganda as usual but, I've really been impressed with this website.  www.aggieathletics.com
For the record, hogwired does stink.  I do kinda like the flash on the homepage with all the records, stats, awards,etc.

  Did you hear about the Aggie at the stop sign? Well, he's still there.

Slacker

How do you get a Texas A & M graduate off your front porch?
      You pay for your pizza!

How do you make a one-armed Aggie fall out of a tree?
     Wave

Slacker

What do you get when you line up several Aggies ear to ear and blow?
     A wind tunnel.

Slacker

  An Aggie went riding, and everything was going fine until the horse suddenly started bouncing out of control. He tried to hang on, but with a foot caught in the stirrup, he fell off head-first. With his head bouncing up and down, the horse didn't even slow down. And just as the Aggie was giving up hope and losing consciousness, a Kmart employee came out and unplugged it.

Slacker

   Why do Aggies have doormats inside their homes?
     So they can wipe their feet before they go out.

 

Slacker

  Why do Aggies always smile during lightning storms?
     They think their picture is being taken.

Congratulations slacker. You have officially hijacked this thread. 
Was all that just for me?!  Pretty good stuff.  Except you're way off with the pizza delievery joke.  Insert Tx Tech red raider. 
Seriously if you pulled those off the top of your head then you probably own a couple of those Aggie Joke Books they sell at the book stores in College Station.

Q: Why does the stadium at College Station have Astroturf?

An Aggie, Razorback and Sooner were all walking down a farm road one day. They all three look over and see a huge steer stuck in the barbed wire, butt facing the trio. The Razorback says "Man I wish that was Jessica Simpson". The Sooner says "Man I wish that was Brittney Spears". The aggie says "Man I wish it was dark".

Mike, thanks for at least asking. Maybe you can throw in comments here and there in the coming months.

Easy on the UA, the SIDs, and Hogwired. What's the hurry? They'll eventually warm up to the 20th century. :D

Sorry Patch.  Guess its kinda my fault.  I tried to contribute a little but Slacker had to have fun with the Aggie.  I'm sorry he hijacked your thread.  For what its worth, I agree with you about the site.

Hogwired.com UPDATE!  Website still down.  Frickin pathetic.  I guarantee you that if the only way we could purchase (actually pay) our season tickets was to do it thru the website that they would be straightening out somebody's ass.  Of course, now that I think about it, they probably have the same ole ladies that answer the phones and work at the window running that POS website.  Those people are a good example of a business relationship in which the "customer is always WRONG". :-[
