Not the Orange Bowl announcement...not the Fran McCaffery announcement, not Iowa's win in the Orange Bowl...none of those.

Tonight, December 7th, 2010, the DJK bust.

As has typically been the case in the 11 years I have presided over message boards, the most traffic to a message board sports community is not due to good news.

Honestly, I would take this as a compliment. People look here to verify things. Generally, people don't look to verify good things.

How many were logged on? It took me forever to load pages so I figured it was a lot.

This. I was getting ticked, because I knew a ton of people were on, so waiting for 90 seconds for a page to load could put me way behind the pace. This just has me sick to my stomach.

The page loads took forever, I had to make sure this wasn't a rumor and HN kind of let me down. But I know bandwidth ain't free and I bet you had your hands full.

We will be making a switch to a new dedicated server with much greater capacity to handle traffic spikes, within the next week or so. Already have it paid for at godaddy, and no, it aint free. Wrote a $5k rent check for that sucker and I don't even get to hold it

Maybe its for the huge win over UNI Jon?

Exactly. I first saw this on another board, so immediately came here. I figured I would find out the truth one way or the other here.

I was watching the basketball game when they teased the breaking news..I had read something about the rumor that had been taken down a few days ago and figured it was DJK but didn't know what. I tried to get on here but it never loaded and I had to wait for the timeout!
