Snowing Mess, Glowing Press

Yes, it snowed in Big South territory overnight. Here in Charlotte, it turned to rain after a brief flirtation with sleet and ice, and didn't stick around very long altogether. It was merely a glimpse of the winter weather woes our friends up north have to face with greater frequency and severity. It's nice to be in the Big South!

Say, if you were having problems trying to get on http://www.bigsouthsports.com/ this afternoon, you're not alone. Computer issues can happen to anybody, and we got a bite from the technical bug today. No worries, the problems have been addressed and everything's coming back up in stages. If you still hit any trouble with the site, close your browser and try again a little later. I'm told all shall be well soon (most of it is already back online as I write this post).

Speaking of browsing around the internet, I don't know if you've noticed lately, but the Big South has gotten some good national attention lately.
My top three stories of the last 30 days:
Riding with the Blue Hose--a great story about incoming and transitioning Conference member Presbyterian College from ESPN Page 2 in December,
...Bigger Feet Than Shaq's--a feature on UNC Asheville's Kenny George in the New York Times that ran last week,
and Winthrop Down But Not Out...--a strong write-up this week on ESPNU.

Keep it coming--we want everybody to know how strong this Conference is and how much bigger and better it's getting all the time!

Hey folks, stay dry and warm out there...
