– "We fumbled"

– "502 bad gateaway"

– Redirects to Rivals national or other team sites

All three have been ongoing issues for everyone (for you guys, for us as a staff and network-wide for most all other team sites at Rivals) over the past week and, at least for me, the past 2-3 days. Same with the flood of spammers. The spambot traffic began ramping up a few days ago and last night saw a massive onslaught here and across the network.

All of it's completely out of my hands and even if it was in my hands, I wouldn't know wth to do. Took me 7 attempts to figure out how to program my coffee maker to auto pour for the morning. Not a tech guy.

We just got an update a few minutes ago that the Rivals tech team has successfully blocked the spam attack. And they have been able to identify and correct the core issue in regard to the fumble/bad gateaway pages and the redirects.

From the tech team: "Work to completely root out the fumble page issues remains ongoing, but the team is very optimistic in a resolution soon based on recent discoveries."
