As I’m sure many of you noticed, Rivals was down today. But as you can probably tell by reading this message, Rivals is back up!
The issue was due to an outage with a global provider that provides services to multiple sites. Not just Rivals. Rivals is working closely with the provider to make sure this doesn’t happen again or at least better understand what caused it so we can minimize the odds of it happening again, etc.
Thankfully it got resolved as soon as it did, but just thought I would provide an explanation for those that were wondering what the deal was and also those who didn’t see the posts on the Stanford Rivals Twitter and Facebook pages.
