Roll call! What's your name?

by Dave Halprin (Grizz) on Apr 21, 2008 11:37 PM CDT Comment 102 comments

Thought I'd put up a FanPost where everybody can sign in like a regular roll call. I want to know who has already made the switch over to the new format. If you've made the switch, update your profile and add a pic to be your avatar.

Also, if you're a regular who has changed names during the switch-over, let us know here. Tell us your old name and the new one. Maybe we should create name tags...Hello, may name is....

I'm Grizz and I'm lovin' the new BTB 2.0.

I still dont like the subject lines.

But everything else is nice. I wish it had old stats.. maybe i just didnt look hard enough. Either way i like the new change!

I click the stats button and it says 2008 stats coming soon.. well where are the 2007, 2006 so on..

by thebigham on Apr 21, 2008 11:03 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

that comes from a 3rd party provider

I will check to see if we will get the historical stats. It might be a money issue, they may want us to pay for that or something.

I first realized my disease when I was 10 years old. . .Danny White had a QB season better than any other in Cowboys’ history and we still lost in the playoffs to ‘the Catch’. I cried for three days. . .

It has been 4 months since my last Cowboys game.

but overall it seems to be pretty good. I think the people voting against the new format are just a little thrown off by having to deal with something different that what they’ve been used to. Is there a post that kind of walks you through the new features. There may be, but I have not had time to look around too much yet. Good timing on getting the switch done. This would really suck if it happened on Friday or the Monday after the draft.

I saw nothing wrong with the old site and find the new one hard to read. I’ll follow the draft, but my Cowboys interest has waned since the awful playoff fades of the past two seasons. Maybe I’ll just watch the final two minutes of the first playoff game to see if they actually win one.
