As mentioned in another thread, the new Rivals.com message boards are officially arriving to the team sites on Tuesday.
Later tonight the sites will go to "read only" for what we hope will only be a few hours as the change begins. By the time you hit HawkeyeReport.com in the morning, if all goes well, we will be live with the new boards.
I'm sure there will be a lot of questions on Tuesday and we will do our best to provide you with the answers. I know change is never universally embraced and some will not like it immediately, but this is going to be a good thing for this site and our entire network.
Also, for those who use our app, it's going to be down tomorrow once the change takes place. We should have the updates submitted tomorrow and hopefully it will be about 24 hours before the app updates are approved. Then you just have to update the app and you should be good to go.
Thanks for your patience in the next 24 hours. We appreciate everyone being a part of HawkeyeReport.com.
