Interesting. They kept the old words in the link, but the article is actually:
Wildcats Set for Senior Day Versus George Washington Wednesday

I plan to be there. I hope the team plans the same. That senior class is special.

That’s a weird article, in addition to the typos and punctuation errors. No mention of what has happened in the recent forfeits and roster changes.

It is oddly written for sure.

It has been taken down. When I click on the link, I get a 404 Error message that says that page no longer exists.

Unfortunately I worry that is more likely to mean that the game tomorrow is also going to be forfeited rather than be an indication that someone is rewriting the article to correct the typos and provide additional information.

Nope. New article is up with correct information.

still needs some editing, e.g., 2nd paragraph starts:

"For 'Cats ended the contest in double figures,..."

still no mention of what's going on.

They have injuries. The game is on. They don't write articles with explanations about the injuries.

It is mildly disappointing we recruited 2 walkons and no one has bothered to write biographies for them on the website.

They could write their own and let someone from the SID Office insert them into the website.

I agree. Women's BB getting short shrift at the moment.

Hanging around with the patchwork lineup.

Mallorie is a one-woman wrecking crew the past few possessions.

I think that I have seen their ball-handlers dribble the ball off of their feet at least four times.

To wit, we are not doing anything right at all, can't hit a FT, can't hit a 3, and it is a one possession game. The Revs are shockingly bad.
