This is just a starting point:

Once I update the board software I'll see if I can figure out how to put a link to the Fan Guide on the top where "Home", "Forum", "Blogs", and "What's New?" are.

Do you have these guides automatically pulling data from somewhere? Or do have to update them each week?

It'll probably never be completely automatic.

I can grab most of the data from Peter Wolfe's college football site and use that to update conference standings, scores, and stuff but, as you'll see within a day or two, a lot of the Fan Guide info is going to be Bison-specific stuff that will come from the NDSU media guide. For example, Brock Jensen set a school record for most consecutive completions - hard to get stuff like that to automatically update unless you want to wait for the next media guide to come out.

With any luck, it'll be back - I'm just going to combine its content with the Bisonville Fan Guide.

Most of you probably never saw it but this is what it looked like:

I probably won't do a multi-column format though.

That info will be coming.

That latest addition was the Record Book and Record Book (Postseason).

Needs double-checking - just go to the bottom of this page:

The twitter of NDSU's Jeff Schwartz is a good source for some of this stuff: http://twitter.com/#!/WJeffSchwartz

Here's a sampling of his tweets:

For those that missed it last night, #NDSUBison WR Warren Holloway has caught 49 passes in each of the past two seasons #OldCar is reliable

Jeff Schwartz
#NDSUBison QB Brock Jensen's only interception came against Southern Illinois, 117 pass attempts ago, which is new school record #NerdStat

Jeff Schwartz
The last #NDSUBison QB to throw one interception in the regular season was Arden Beachy in 1991 in 86 attempts. #NerdStat

Sorry, it took a while to get the latest incremental update. All I did this time around is fix the conference links on the main team pages and fixed some cosmetic stuff.

Haven't done much the last two weeks... added conference links on the main index found here:

I updated the fanguide with all the 2012 schedules. I also added some missing history for some of the FCS newbies (Central Arkansas, UND, USD, etc.)

I've probably got some teams in the wrong conference and wrong coaches so I'll be doing some data repair today. Oh yeah, I couldn't take the black background anymore so it's now white.
