GoShockers.com make-over

The video I was trying to view (link above) doesn't work in Chrome due to there not being a Chrome-specific WMP plug-in (or so I assume).

I'm surprised 'Cold' hasn't posted this on ValleyTalk in the classic 'Bradley at UNI' or 'Wichita State's "superiority"' thread.

"Ba Ba Bad to the Bone..." :good:

I use Firefox and all the images line up in the far left column, unreadable. Does anybody using Firefox have a good clean page?

I get it in IE, but it is a pain to go back and forth between
FireFox and IE.

I'm lost. Where is the link to find the radio broadcast?

My overall impression is that while I like the graphics a little better, it took a slight step backward in terms of polish and professionalism.

Bigger pictures/Bolder graphics - a plus

In-sport tabs stand out and are easy to find (coaches, roster, etc.) - plus

Everything else - crap. I'm really unimpressed.

I am happy that it appears to not be a "cookie-cutter" website, or something that is of similar format or a third-party standard site (CBS Sportsline design, JumpTV, etc), but that's about the only other positive I can think of.

Looks really overall unattractive and less "polished and professional" than what we did have, and as-is looks like a huge step in the wrong direction.

Both the old and new sites were very "trendy" sites in that they would take hot trends in webdev and put it forth in the site. The new site goes for the current "trend" of being clean but there is way too much for it to pull that off and it ends up looking very bad.

I like the wallpaper section. 8) 8) 8)

I would agree . . . if they had something more current.

University needs to engage their creative students especially those in graphic arts to submit designs to the site.

Looks like someone is going to get a chance at making some improvements...From the Career Opportunities page of GoShockers.com, good to see they are striving to get better.

This guy thinks our old site was the best in the MVC and that the new one is even better. (See comments at end)

I went looking for stats and couldn't find them. Maybe I didn't look hard enough but if I have to look hard, I'll find them somewhere else.

When you go to the mens Basketball section the link is located on the right next to the rotating picture.
