About two years ago, I pointed out that this page http://www.buzztime.com/speed.html had no fewer than three factual errors. They have not been corrected. At one point ~7 of these pages had multiple errors, most have been fixed.

I just wish all the employees paid attention to their product like the players do.

Bo, I think you may be the only one who gives a shit about that.

If that is indeed the case, then BT should be ashamed and whoever is in charge of QC should be canned and/or caned immediately. Do you have any idea how many things are currently wrong with their network and website? Do you know how long some of these things have been awry? Do you know how easy it is to fix some of these glitches?

If you had a product that was used by a large audience, would you not make doubly sure that every single piece of information available to your customers was accurate? I know I would, I think you would do the same.

That being said, I applaud TomD for having an official presence here and letting us know that incorrect questions are being attended to. It's not something he has to do, but he's taking the extra time out of his day. Even if he does continue to write sports factoids poking fun at my alma mater!

Seeing as how the BCS championship game starts at 730c tonight, it would be perfect for STC to start at 630c. That being said, I have no idea what time the game will begin. But if I had to guess, I'd guess 630c tonight and 8c next week.

Here's the thing, I wouldn't have a problem with STC airing at 630 tonight and last week if the players had been notified via the network and the online schedules would have matched reality. But the fact of the matter is that nobody seems to know when the game will air, and that's sad.

Agree that that is very sad, and really totally uncalled for, but it does seem to be "business as usual" for NTN. Drives me crazy. I cannot stand incompetence, especially at the level as is exhibited in this company. I will show up early tonight even though it will be an inconvenience for my schedule, but I wont make the same mistake as last week.

I looked at Manager Functions last night, and it said STC would start at the later time tonight (9 eastern, 6 pacific). For some reason, Sports IQ was still at 7 eastern, 4 pacific last night, although the online schedule states otherwise.

I just checked on the manager functions, and STC is not showing up at all on the trivia channel.
