The Internet is a funny thing.
It provides the illusion of anonymity, and you can remain anonymous up to a point.
But only up to a point.
Let me explain:
This blog gets about 2,000 to 3,000 visitors per day.
I've checked the IP addresses of the people making comments attacking the message of this blog and those who support it.
Anyone want to guess at how many actual people disagree with us?
TWO!
That's right... TWO!
TWO different IP addresses have been used FOR ALL of the negative comments accusing us of hurting the team further, fracturing the message, etc. etc.
And yes, it really wasn't worth taking any time to address this fact except I did want to bolster those, like Des Werthman, who may be worried about taking a public position.
One more thing, not one of these TWO people has actually offered a real defense of Pete Mangurian, Dianne Murphy or the indisputable failure on the field.
I won't embarrass these TWO people by stating who they are, (their IP's are listed with the name of the organization/school/business they come from), and they're welcome to continue commenting here.
But now, everyone knows the score: Sane People 2,998 Crazy People 2.
Game over.

Jake if you are going to continue to LIE then you should probably get your terms right. You can't track locations of IP addresses (NOT ISP - which BY THE WAY - means "Internet Service Provider")
It is illegal, unless you have a court order, to find location of static IP addresses. Shall I continue???
Also, you do not have 3,000 UNIQUE daily visitors to your blog. You should recheck your google analytics (or anyone that wants to see for that matter)
Sane People: 3 Crazy People: 2,997
GAME OVER.
That's the score our next coach should shoot for in his first
Game.
Nope still just 2. The nasty comment above came from one of the same two guys. I am VERY tempted to publish his name, by the way.
And FYI: the IP addresses on my analytics don't come up as numbers only, they also show the organization, business or school name from where they originate. It's very telling.
For some perspective, this is what Jake said about Dartmouth following its 2008 season (the last time an Ivy team went 0-10).

AND FYI YOU ARE A LIAR. PUBLISH MY NAME.
Let's just make it a shutout....3,000 to nothing. That's also more than our average home attendance in our little stadium, always 85 percent empty. And don't start quibbling about Homecoming, etc. Our attendance is miserable.
oooh, talk about sour grapes.... battered wife syndrome kicking in to lash out.
You are right I am very disappointed in attendance and the amount of cheering and fan support. If we start winning , they will come.
Let's not get overheated. This is about fixing Lion football.
I'm totally with Jake on that, but let's not start ID-ing posters on an anonymous board, not on an AD hoc basis anyway. Or else require everybody's actual name. I'm fine with either, but not a retaliatory approach.
Nah, I'm far too kind to actually publish your name/place of business. I'm also the only one of the two of us who always identifies himself.
You see, you don't get to accuse somebody of something when you're anonymous. Everyone has the right to respond to his accusers.
DOH!
There are many ways to track down who's done what online. Some of the more complex and esoteric techniques are way beyond the scope of a Friday-afternoon column. One of the most basic ones, however, is worth explaining — the IP address.
Every computer connected to the Internet, whether through a high-speed or dial-up connection, has a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. That's a group of four numbers separated by dots (periods), like "134.243.50.17," and it's used to identify you so when you visit a Web site, that site knows how to send those pages to you. (I covered this in detail back in April.) Think of it as the equivalent of a stamped, self-addressed envelope: If you want any information to come to you — whether it's e-mail, a Web page, or what have you — you need to tell the rest of the world where you are.
And thus you leave your mark.
Thank you!
Come out! Come out! whoever you are!
It is I, Brave Sir Robin..when danger reared its ugly head he tunred his tail and fled.

If the guy wants to dare Jake to publish his name, he just come clean and tell us who he is himself.
Believe me, he's very scared right now. People stay anonymous for a reason.
it is definitely not illegal to trace an IP address, static or dynamic. you're just sweating bullets troll
Anyone can lookup information on an IP address. In fact, it's called "lookup". Pretty straightforward stuff:
http://ip-lookup.net/
If you comment from a business or university, chances are your business or institution name is going to show up under that IP.
To be honest: I think the special teams coach has done a good job. The kickoff coverage team leads all of FCS and the punt coverage is 5th. There has to be credit for that. Interestingly, the kicker and punter are both seniors.

Thanks for the special teams info. This string was starting to sound like a bunch of tech nerds. No offense, gang. Just that I've spent most of my adult life listening to the same stuff.
BTW, how do you think the internet sends you all that info, and how do you think the companies there make a lot of their $???
By recording your IP address and selling it!!! The SASE comparison is very accurate. You have no right to privacy.
No probs, though. Now we know what we're dealing with and we can ignore it.
Thanks, Jake.

not sure what the last anonymous post means in tis context.
also, they had freshmen football back then so he only played 3 years on the varsity.
given i played with him. the average margin of defeat, not including wins so your simple mind can get around this, was 15 points.
this years team a whoppng 32 point point average margin of defeat.
go back to whatever slime infested waters you came from, likely in the sesspools of jersey.
this
and the 15 points is an average of the 3 years we played
