In today's 'Sader Scoop Holy Cross vs Merrimack email, they have links to: 1.) The Game Day Program 2.) Roster Sheet 3.) goholycross.com/programs The only PROBLEM is that if you click on any of these links, you get the Holy Cross/Lehigh game from SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2022!  You would think with all the "people they have working in the Athletic Department, somebody would be in charge of checking these things for CORRECTNESS!!!  It's not like they didn't have enough time to prepare this and CHECK IT OUT!!!  Guess that's asking too much... |

Well, good morning, my friend!  First, these problems are not like a unique issue. It's been this way for years. I've shared with them multiple times that their "systems" generally have problems and, I believe based on other things that I do with Holy Cross, it is not unique with the Athletic Department. How many times have you and I talked about one of us getting an email and the other didn't? And, not consistent - sometimes you get it and I don't and vice versa. Do they have a computer science major on the hill? Not sure about you but I took a course in the late 60's all about punch cards!  (Think: "hanging chads!  ) Not sure they got any more advanced since then. Oh, FWIW, I just brought up the game day rosters and, sorry to tell you, no problem. Might have just been a timing issue . . . . this time, because your issue is valid. P.S. Should I print one up for you? |

Yes, you are correct in that if you go to goholycross.com directly in your browser it takes you to today's game day items including, date, time, location, tv, etc. and roster. There you can get the correct roster sheet for today's game! BUT, to my point, if you click on the links provided in the email that I referenced, it STILL takes you to the HC vs LEHIGH game from last November!  Thanks, but I have already printed one! Maybe, you can give "your guy" NS a heads up so this can be taken care of.... |

I didn't want to put a "P.P.S." above, but was going to suggest that you offer your services to the College of the Holy Cross as this area is right in your wheelhouse (did I say that right? I'm not a steamboat captain), As for "my guy," you have no idea how many complaints, oops, "suggestions," I have already sent his way either my own; my Classmates; or other folks here. I think he's considering moving out of RI if I keep it up. Oh, even more "stuff" sent to "my guy" in the ticket office!  |

Don't know if there still are IBM 360s with spinning tape decks (no punch cards) in the bowels of Fenwick. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System/360#:~:text=The%20IBM%20System%2F360%20(S,applications%20from%20small%20to%20large. Mesmerizing! (My coursework learning Fortran and Cobol was post-baccalaureate.) |

I believe that there are many problems with “technology” on campus. I tried calling for almost a week to renew my hoops tickets, no answer using the “push 2” on my phone for season tickets. I finally got to speak to somebody by using the single game ticket “push 1”. Talking to this guy, the season ticket number goes directly to the ticket managers phone, and he was on vacation…Istill get into my ticket account on line. The message tells me I have exceeded the number of tries, and that is the first time I try! The ticket office has “fixed the problem twice” but I still can’t access my account….

Well, maybe they do READ Crossports! They have corrected 2 out of the 3 links... click on goholycross.com/programs and in one instance it still takes you to last year's Lehigh game roster and click on the other goholycross.com/programs and it takes you to the correct link for today's game ... Guess that's PROGRESS, but we ain't there yet! I've said it before... You are a D1 PROGRAM, start acting like one!!! Off to the game.... GO CROSS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
