This software review is about a widget that displays the football, men's basketball, or women's basketball schedule for a particular team for the selected year. The widget shows the day/date of the game, the opponent, the time the game will be broadcast or the outcome of the game, the team's record, and whether the game is on TV. Additionally, the widget displays standings and Sirius college game schedules for the current day or the next day games are played, starting from version 2.3.
In Standings view, the widget displays the team name, conference W-L, and their record. The next and previous buttons in the title line cycle through all conferences. A "Jump to Conference >> Conference Name" context menu item is available when viewing the standings, which allows you to jump directly to a conference by right-clicking (Windows) or CTRL-clicking (Mac) on the widget.
If you are viewing the football view, you can use the next and previous buttons to cycle through the years. For basketball view, the next and previous buttons cycle through the months. The buttons are hidden until the mouse rolls over the widget, and you can find them in the lower left or right, depending on your logo location.
USA Today/Coaches, AP, and BCS ranks may also be displayed for the current season only. Data is scraped from ESPN, and you can also customize your background opacity and the number of columns displayed. Logo position and size are configurable starting from version 2.3. The logo can be placed at any corner, allowing you to align the widget against any edge of the screen.
Double-clicking the logo will minimize or expand the schedule, and you can also click on the minus and plus images to do the same. Hovering over the logo will display the "Last Updated" time in a tooltip. Time zone is configurable, and options include Eastern Time (default), Central Time, Mountain Time, Pacific Time, Alaska Time, and Hawaii-Aleutian Time. The time zone feature is geared towards U.S. time zones.
To use this widget, you need Yahoo! Widget Engine. From the Preferences window, you can configure the widget to check for a newer version on startup and check for updates by selecting "Check for newer version" from the context menu. Overall, this widget is very convenient for keeping track of American football, men's basketball, or women's basketball schedules and standings.
