So far this year there are no rotation numbers listed at all with the print sheets. There's a reason those are listed at the beginning of the row. Because that's how you can find the game without trying to figure out what abbreviations will be used this week. The abbreviations have been really inconsistent and don't match much with what is coming from the consensus pages either, or even match from last year. Even though the Abbreviations there change sometimes as well. Like the NFL Los Angeles teams going from LAR to just LA if the Chargers game already went off for the day. What's that about? Or how Arizona changed from ARI to AZ mid season last year, same with Southern Indiana in basketball, from SIND to USi or something liket that. Really sneaky when I'm trying to filter an excel page from the data I get from there.
Is there any effort at all being put into these anymore? The streaks in baseball were horribly inconsistent last year being current and now the rotation numbers have completely disappeared. Yet they are still on baseball, so I still use those sheets right now. How are they on baseball but not any other sports. A mix up pulling from the API somewhere, a field got changed, switched the API you were getting stuff from, JSON got messed up? This weeks first week of football were easily the worst abbreviations I have ever seen, and they didn't even match with what you use on other parts of your site. Please be consistent like you used to be. I can deal with Indiana being different between collge football and college basketball and little things like that between sports, but now Rankings, SU records and rotation numbers are completely gone from the front page of the matchup pages also. I'd like to try and still use these print sheets if they will be kept up and consistent, but if not, there is really no point in having them at all. They are pretty much a staple of this site and it's sad if they are going to be left unattended to going forward. Us older guys still like them.
Please advise so I can look elsewhere, if needed, for the data I like to get.
Thank you

Id also like to add that since the filter function has also changed on the matchup pages those rotation numbers are even more useful. If one isn't looking for a specific team, then we can now only filter by conference? Especially this year with all the conferences being changed up like a salad mixer. The old filter was much better, filtering by largest home dog or top 25 and things like that. I'm not sure that most customers are eager to filter for only PAC12 or MAC or Sun Belt games on a Saturday only to find that the teams they might be looking for are in a new conference now. Why not just have a filter for Big10 and ACC since that's where everyone went anyways. That type of filter option for only conferences seems pointless.
So for customers who want actual data can you please put the rotation numbers back on the print sheets, but only if you are going to keep them current and consistent and also put the SU W/L records and rotation numbers back ont the scores & matchup pages where they are useful. The data is already hard enough to find since the last update to the matchup pages. It all used to be on one page and now I have to go looking for which tab it might be under on the page, and the tabs are not even clearly marked that they are tabs for different data. It looks more like jsut a header describing what is underneath. Please make things useful again if you are going to offer them. If not, don't offer them.
