As someone who had web duties thrust upon him in addition to other duties a few years ago, I can sympathize with the AE people not having it updated to the minute. Imagine having a full list of responsibilities PRIOR to the introduction of the web, then having that monster ADDED on without any additional help.

The web is a black hole that can suck you up if you let it. There will always be something to update, to clean up. You could work 24 hours a day and still not satisfy all the visitors.

I agree with Animal - we are all spoiled. But I expect far more from an ESPN site (with its dozens of full-time editors)than I do from the AE site that has 2-3 contributors.

But as usual on this site, there is no mercy toward any AE folks. The bitterness has gotten so ridiculous.

What exactly then do these guys get paid to do. We have a shitty sponser, shitty tournaments and a shitty updated website. R they eating ricecakes down there and working out at the BSC? I mean come on now...this isnt difficult work. They have what...7 fulltime staffers plus interns. Lets once again, not be apologists for the simple lack of work ethic on their part.

I know more about America East and its athletic programs, and I live in San Diego and don't have a degree in athletic administration. Those America East staffers are buffoons.

If we go to a registration format board, we'll be deprived of these comical posts.
