XULAgold.com went online at 10 a.m. Thursday. It replaced a longtime in-house site.
"We are very excited to provide this new look to all our XU stakeholders," said Director of Athletics and Recreation Jason Horn. "This new partnership gives us the opportunity to take advantage of the software and technology innovations that SIDEARM Sports brings to the table through their service to collegiate athletic programs. The new look will enhance the experience for all fans as well as give our programs a lift in recruiting. We are thrilled to be part of the SIDEARM family, and we look forward to a long, successful relationship."
As the official website provider of the Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets, SIDEARM Sports gives XU fans a fully adaptive experience across all platforms. Fans can enjoy a version of XULAgold.com specifically tailored to their mobile device or opt to view the full site. Additionally, fans on mobile devices can click "Add to Home Page," and the site will provide an icon marker to allow easy access to the site without the need to download an app.
"The launch of XULAgold.com is one of our steps in energizing the branding of Xavier athletics and showcasing the successes of our department and of Xavier University," Horn said.
The site will feature information -- including schedules, live stats, streaming, rosters, statistics, game stories and photo galleries -- about Xavier's nine intercollegiate teams, along with extensive information for prospective student-athletes. Video interviews, coordinated by Administrative Specialist Jimmie Walker, will become a regular feature of the site.
XULAgold.com also offers fans the ability to sign up for free email and text message alerts for one or multiple XU teams.
Sports Information Director Ed Cassiere will continue as webmaster of the athletics website.
"SIDEARM Sports is excited to launch the new Xavier athletics website, XULAgold.com, and we are thrilled to welcome the university into our family," said Jeff Rubin, President/CEO of SIDEARM Sports. "We hope the fans, student-athletes, alumni, staff and supporters of the Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets will enjoy all the features that the site offers."
SIDEARM Sports, based in Syracuse, N.Y., is the host of nearly 800 websites, most of them involving intercollegiate athletics.
