Enormous influx of Georgia Southern and Appalachian State fans. Like seriously the most registrations I've ever seen in the queue since we went to admin approval. By three fold.

I have some tweaks I can make to help with that error -- but it is designed to blunt the impact of a huge wave of inbound traffic. It isn't that the server is beyond it's full carrying capacity ... it is that a big influx of traffic hit it all at once. 5,000 people engaged in spread out use is far less brutal to the server than 5,000 people all loading a page at roughly the same time. The limit error prevents the second of those two examples from getting out of hand.

Yeah, 5,000 inputs/page loads at one time dwarfs any game day thread or coaching panic that Memphis might have; which has been rightly or wrongly blamed on some other slowdowns in the past.
