If I navigate from the main page, example go to the baseball page, I get a line of options (Teams, Schedule, Tickets, Bulldog Club, etc.) across the middle of the page. It really is annoying if you look at the schedule, then try and go to a different year, the Bulldog Club tab is in the way. Am I the only one getting this? It's been this way for months....why don't our design people fix this jakeleg ****??
Why does Hailstate.com suck?

The page is wayyyyyyyyy too busy. Graphics look good, but they have tried to cram too much crap on to the homepage. Couple that with the auto-loading/rotating stories, and you have a very slow loading page.
Yeah, I have those same issues, but this one is different. It's not a speed or loading issue. It's just bad graphic design or something. Freaking embarrassing. It's like it keeps the homepage icons in the background. It looks absolutely ******. Our freaking 4 year UNIVERSITY can do better than this lollypop ********.
Exactly what I said last year before they redesigned it. It's a little better, but there's still way too much going on. Drop down menus when you move your cursor, slides in the middle of the page constantly changing, ads flashing on the right side, **** scrolling from side to side towards the bottom, and then a video clip in the middle that's always playing. Seems like a lot of good ideas that never made it to an editor's desk before being released.
I've been told that under our current contract we have no control of the website. It is handled by someone else.
That sounds like BS. We can tell them what to change. If we had NO control, they could just scroll "17 MSU" across it and we could do nothing.
I have the same issues Goat.
Stricklin I know you're reading this...our website blows and is hard to navigate. Help.

I wasn't there but I believe that it was Stricklin that said it at a function when asked about why it sucked so badly.
I would think we have control of the content, not the design.

I said basically what you've said on a survey... maybe around 1 year ago. I really let them have it. Nothing appears to have changed. Included my name & contact info so it wasn't just some anonymous complaint.
I've visited a lot of college sports sites... typically our opponents and other SEC schools, and ours is by far the worst I've run across. Doesn't matter if you're talking SEC, Sun-Belt, CUSA, etc. Really an embarrassment in this day & age.

I was going to say the website is too cumbersome.
It's not 2001 anymore. Websites don't have to be flashy. We get it, technology... Now make it easy to access.
The biggest problem I have is related to subscription services
If you cancel the reoccurring payment, even if you literally just paid for the following month, it cuts your access immediately, without allowing you viewership for the rest of the month you've already paid for.
