It's time this coaching staff and athletic department take responsibility for our beloved blog being down. What will their excuse be this time? Fire Brandon. Fire Hoke. Pay the Harbaugh brothers the entire endowment to coach and run the department. Then finally we can click and read and comment and vote without worrying whether or not the site will be here when we hit F5 30 seconds after posting.

I actually had the same thought for a moment, and late on a Sunday evening probably would be the best time to do it if that were the case, but then I was reminded that the word now is that the update will come sometime early next year. I don't know if the delay was explained specifically. Seems like it was just planned maintenance or a random outage.

Sounds like it was a server problem or something (I don't speak fluent computer) on his end.

To be honest, I would've been pretty surprised if he did a big upgrade during the season.  Website traffic is really high now, and I don't think he'd want to risk a lot of down time unless the upgrades were desperately needed (or he'd at least wait until a bye week, when traffic tails off a bit)

if we're talking about SQL and full disks, its an issue in at least one obvious way. Any transactions requested in the program have to get written to the SQL transaction log which then writes to the actual primary database file. To accommodate this, SQL usually has a built in autogrow feature make sure those ldf and mdf files have a enough room to write these transactions. This autogrowth can be set to anything from a few mb to gb, so if there's not a enough space left for that, anything in the application that requires sql is gonna have a problem, either with general performance as it struggles to find more room on the disk, or a straight up erroring out failure if there literally is no space left.

In other late breaking news, apparently, one of the consequences of MGoBlog's having been down last night was that almost all of the posts in Sunday's Posbang Thread were DOWNVOTED. Considering the subject of so many post-Utah threads, could the site have been "Hoke Hacked" by a downvoter with a grudge? Was Roll Damn Tide/Wolverine In A Bag lurking and waiting for an opportunity to pounce on threads to downvote every post? Has anyone called for a Congressional investigation?

We need to expand the BTN footprint.  The Royal University of Bhutan is only 12 years old, but they have a unique game day experience.  Older alums will enjoty the visit because of the 22 degree tilt of proposed site of the new stadium, fans must remain seated and belted in during games.  It gives new meaning to tired phrases like running downhill.
