Cornell 5 - 2 Princeton; Final

[Al DeFlorio]

I wonder if the servers are overburdened right now with all the sports events going on or what the problem is exactly.

That's a decent thought -- what with three pretty big events all going on at the same time.

I blame Al for trying to watch all three at once. ;-)

Never could get the third one to run.  One of 'em was always down.  Much of the time all three were (and are) down.

hard to think 100 viewers at such a low bandwidth would cause server issues..

They are broadcasting video for hockey, wrestling, and basketball all at the same time. I imagine they are actually getting a lot of traffic tonight, but I also imagine the problem is between Cornell and Sidearm's servers somewhere.

Cornell now on the PP (thank you IJLB).  Video, please come back!!!

I suspect the number is higher. Lots of parents, program alums, etc. probably like to watch the wrestling matches.

Who would have thought that Scali would have more goals than Riley at any point in this season?

[upperdeck]

yeah but this company does the sports for dozens of teams SU included.

Basketball down 56-40 12:40 left

Well if they do the sports for dozens of teams then they definitely should have the cash to do this.   The students cell phones take better quality video, a transistor radio has better audio quality, and the interface looks like it was created by a retarded failure of a graphic designer.  It is simply outrageous that they can charge for this.   It's no wonder the technology is called sidearm, apparently they need an extra one because both thumbs and arms are already jammed way up their butts.  Brainless incompetents, the lot of them.

Right on.  What are the odds Jeremy Hartigan will post an apology on cornellbigred.com for the abysmal Redcast service level tonight?

Slim to none, and slim just left? ::help:: ::cuss::

the schools are losing money on this deal, from what i have heard we are lucky there is any video at all.

say 100 people watch hockey and pay $7.. is that enough to cover the cost of producing the game, sending someone(1-3?) to the game say 4-5 hrs of time and equipment costs on top of the other costs of bandwidth, CU says it costs them money for the video feed so somehow they are paying for something..

on the other hand its the same cost for gymnastics which might have 10 people watching..

Princeton gets 1. 4-1... goal under review. Goal stands.

The part of it that is extremely disturbing to me is that (at least on my machine) I'm seeing the same amount of uptime (like 1-2 minutes) and then the same amount of downtime (7-10 mins.)  What this indicates is that it's almost as if someone is sitting there rebooting a single computer, it works for a couple minutes until it "melts," and it repeats over and over.

 It reeks of poor design, and if we're lucky they will fix it for tomorrow night but I would place a very strong bet they are incapable of fixing it for the third period tonight, unless they do something crazy like cripple one sport to give bandwidth to another.  Of course, someone would have to be watching 2 or 3 sports at a time to notice this, and who does that, really ::whistle::

if course the problem could also be related to the same thing that took down several major network apps on campus today as well as the phone system..

4-2, get it together boys.
