Rolls Report 10/25

Sorry for the later than usual report this week.  Post-game Steelers celebrations unexpectedly went all night.
—————–

Saturday was rained out again this week bringing the tally to 4 rain-outs in the last 5 scheduled days of rolls, but Sunday was a perfect fall day for rolls.  Nice leaves, not too hot, not too cold.

In attendance:  AEPi, SigEp, DTD, Spirit, SigNu, PhiKap, SDC, PiKA, Fringe, CIA Continue reading →

cmubuggy.org turns 1!

Posted on | by Sam Swift | 3 Comments on cmubuggy.org turns 1!

That’s right, it seems like an institution already, but it was only a year ago that cmubuggy.org got started and gave the buggy lovers of the world a place to congregate.  The year-round trash talk, the authoritative source to resolve buggy trivia disputes, and the weekly updates of pictures and news all seemed to have been well received, so they are here to stay.  We want to thank all the alumni and current students that have visited and contributed to the site in the first year. It wouldn’t be any fun without you guys!

For everyone out there that gets a kick out of  quantifying their fun, here are some stats from cmubuggy.org’s first year:

  • 43,000+ visits by 11,900+ “unique” visitors
  • 553,000+ page-views
  • 300+ registered users
  • 1,400+ posts in 72 threads in the forum
  • 1,300+ pictures in the gallery
  • 100+ contributions to the history database (most of which were really many contributions)

Most popular pictures (according to google analytics, not the craptastic view counter in the gallery): Continue reading →

Rolls Report 10/11

Saturday was rained out and mercifully cancelled before 8pm Friday night, leaving time for other plans.

Sunday was just one of those days.  Some hold-up with the police and the outer barricades meant things didn’t get started until 7:40 or so.  From then on, the same teams and buggies that rolled super efficiently last week dragged through the roll order.  JB owes me “big money” on a bet that they would make it through the roll order a second time.  They were 6 orgs short.

Rolls Report 10/3 & 10/4

Posted on | by Sam Swift | 2 Comments on Rolls Report 10/3 & 10/4

Saturday 10/3 (full gallery here)
The rain stopped around 8pm Friday night, and sweepstakes was brave enough to bet on the course drying in 11 hours. It pretty much did. I wouldn’t have called it dry, but with a little extra caution from the orgs and drivers, things went pretty smoothly. Only 6 teams really rolled (SDC also sent one buggy down one time), so maybe the others called it a drinking night without checking the radar first.
