Add Beavers sports events to your calendar!

New feature here at the blog: upcoming events.  On the right just below the photo of Reser Stadium will be a list of Beaver sports events that are coming up. 

The cool part is that your can save the events in .csv (Outlook) or .ics (Apple iCal) and import them to either of those programs.  Plus, many other calendars accept those formations.  Also, if you are an iCal user you can subscribe to the event feed using the "+iCal" link. 

To add events to Outlook...

  • Click on the "+Outlook" link and save the file somewhere on your local hard drive ("My Documents" is good). 
  • Then go to the File menu in Outlook, choose "Import and Export...". 
  • A wizard will come up.  Choose "Import from another program or file" and press next.
  • Choose "Comma Separated Values (Windows)" and press next.
  • Browse for the file you saved that ends with .csv and follow the remaining steps.

Try it out and comment on this topic if you have any problems.


NOTE: Newer versions of Outlook also support the .ICS extensions. Also, I'm still working on flushing out the "Other Sports" besides football, so you may want to hold off on getting that until I post that I'm done.


NOTE 2: I'm done with all the fall sports. So the "other sports" are ready for import.
