Just in case we haven't already mentioned it, things are a bit slow right now. And when it's slow, we like to put our technical team to work improving the site.
We offshore for our writing technical talent, so the improvements come along slowly, and the quality is debatable, and the significance is marginal, but, hey, it's what we've got, so...
Anyway, if you look over to the right, you notice that, supposedly, our Notre Dame Football News piece is improved. The widget now scrubs all of the internets - not just the easy to get to pieces - and should also avoid duplicate caused by small-town papers and the evil Associated Press.
Further, we've added another news widget. This one keeps track of recent news spewed forth from the 2007 opponents to the Notre Dame football team, so go! Read! Know thy enemy better, man!
Thanks, Technical Team!

You have a team? Who are they? And who would work for YOU? Is it your wife?
That is mean.

Always a great read,from HLS. Read the first opponents blog, PSU, it says they wer #1 in the Big 11. I thought ND & Northwestern tied for first from the American Coaches Football Ass’n. Maybe they are writers from the old Pravda circa. You know “Russia finishe 2nd”, (in a 2 man race)

Why does “The Latest News” only pull from BGS? Seems like we should rename it ‘the latest from BGS’, no?

It doesn’t. I think BGS’s RSS feed goes nuts sometimes and spits out a bunch of stuff as just written, and then our feed digester picks it up and shows it as the latest. We’re pulling news from Google, Yahoo, Cnn, ESPN, AP, BGS, IRT, and EDSBS.
