Finish line offered a "Flash Sale" from 10AM until Noon and from 10PM until Midnight on Thanksgiving Day on their online store. During the sale the site experienced technical difficulties and was often unavailable for customers to make purchases. Black Friday specific sale items were not listed on the website until after midnight Black Friday. Even after the update of available items and the release of a new Air Jordan shoe, the site continued to experience outages creating a stir among Facebook posters trying to purchase products.http://www.facebook.com/finishlineusa

The update of the Finish Line website and correction of the attempt to correct technical problems took the site off line for a period of return before the kick off of Black Friday sales. Once the site reopened the section of Weekend Warrior deals were available for purchase. Sales items offered discounts on sporting goods, shoes, and apparel. Featured items included the option to buy:http://www.finishline.com/store/shop/_/N-/Ns-P_BestSellers%7C1/Ntt-ncaafleece?icid=11712
