Day One from Texas

I apologize folks..... We had almost 14,000 unique people visit the web site today. The CollegeLAX web server was completely CRUSHED. WE will have some improvements tomorrow for Day Two, but hitting refresh isn't helping. A small number of you kept hitting refresh over and over and over and over again.

The main championship page will be updated and improved by tomorrow morning. But you need to let the pages and the forum web pages refresh on their own. Please!

Some programming notes.....

1. All articles for first round games have been posted to the main page.

2. Tomorrow night's featured game will be Michigan vs. Georgia. 7 pm CT free audio webcast. Details up on the main page soon.

3. Tuesday schedule of winner bracket games:
SJU vs Dayton at 1pm
St Thomas vs. Elon at 1pm
BYU vs. Simon Fraser at 4pm
Duluth vs. Arizona State at 4pm
GVSU vs. Southwestern at 4pm
Westminster vs. Western Oregon at 4pm
Chapman vs. Colorado State at 7pm
Michigan vs. Georgia at 7pm

Some photos are coming from a busy day.....

Considering what you guys are trying to do with limited staff, little set-up time, trying to get internet access in a remote location, getting everyone where they need to be at the right time and all the other logistics - plus, basically double the number of unique IP's verses last year - you guys blew me away! Everything worked or was immediately fixed all day and the SSU vs UGA audio broadcast was excellent! Thanks guys and I for one will be hitting the Virtual Tip Jar this morning.

My favorite pic from yesterdays games:

Brine Titanium - No match for Harrow Carbon Graphite!

Two BC defenders snapped their poles in about a 30 second span against BYU.

The weird thing is the BC coaches and players were worried because the long poles didn't make it to Dallas with the team on Monday (they were rerouted somewhere else), but came in a couple of hours before the game started on Tuesday.

A&M had one middie snap three sticks in about a quarter and a half (yes, the same middie). It was unreal.

I love the look on the player's face - "Whaaa??"
