N/A

I'm not sure there are enough people with HBO watching here, but this is my apology for having to mash this with Walking Dead last week. Give it a trial run to see if it's worthwhile.

I thought the scotch drinking board members might appreciate a heads up.

This love is no longer for gentlemen only.

Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel made film reviews more interesting on TV. After a long battle with cancer, Ebert died today in Chicago. Thumbs Up for his career. Thumbs down for his passing.

Let me preface this post by saying that I really like the newly redesigned Android app, and I appreciate all the work the developer(s) have put into it.

But I haven't been able to post in the app with either my Nexus 10 or Galaxy Nexus (both running 4.2.2) for a couple of months now. Basically, what happens is I type up a post, but when I try to submit it, I get a message saying something like “ Unfortunately MGoBlog has stopped working” and the app crashes. I really don't need to post using the app very often, which is why I'm willing to wait for an update, but I thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone else has run into this same issue. I know an update hit the Play Store last week or so, but I haven't noticed anything different with the posting capability.

If anyone else has run into this, it would be great if the dev could just say something like “it's a known issue and we're working on a fix,” or “here's your problem, do x,y,z to correct it.” Honestly, even if you said “yeah, we know it's a problem but we're probably not going to fix it anytime soon” would be fine. I just want to know that you're aware of the issue.

Thanks again for all the time and effort you've put into this.

 

The conference formerly known as the Big East will now go by the name of 'American Athletic Conference'.  Which, originality, man.  Which teams will be in the conference are still TBD, but hey, they got a name!

What is interesting to me is the inclusion of 'Athletic'.  To me, the Big Ten, Pac-12, etc. are even more than athletics.  I personally think "American Conference" or "Pan American Conference" or something without the word 'athletic' in it would look, feel, and sound better, but that's my opinion and probably the reason I didn't get paid millions of dollars and participate in a focus group on the issue (jk, it was the university presidents).  Mike Aresco favored "American 12 Conference" but, presumably due to the fluid nature of the conference, university presidents didn't want a number in the conference name.
