media guide and weekly notes? - calvin12 - 09-07-2017 09:14 AM
Where are they, the only links on the website are for last year. Can we get with the times or am I just blind?

You're blind, they're there

Speaking of which, I noticed the program for the BC game didn't have the rosters in them. They were selling separate roster cards, but they only had the players in numerical order, where the old programs used to have rosters in both alphabetical and number order.

Unfortunately, it isn't a program anymore. It is a "yearbook." There is nothing game specific in it. So, if you got sucked into buying one, like I did, you have no reason to buy another one this year. I guess I'll try the roster card this weekend.

Yep, that was me. And I agree, I'd have to go with the roster card this time - except I could probably just print off the listings from the internet and save the $2 so maybe I will do that.

There's a button on the righthand side, located right under the UPS ad, that takes you to the game notes.

Trying to find someone by number was an adventure

By about 8PM the stand on the west side was sold out of the "yearbook" with only the $2 roster card available.
On Saturday, I was down at the Illinois/Ball State game. Exact same situation.
They have now gone to a $5 yearbook while also selling a $2 roster card.
I just found it interesting that both schools had made the exact same change and no longer sell a "program" with rosters included.

Probably a learfield decision

Well that's a little disappointing. Didn't know they'd run out either - probably means a lot of people were sucked into buying it thinking there was a roster in there. Wonder if they ran out of hotdogs too.

I bought it just for the roster. That was a waste.

As with so many other things, it would have been nice if we were informed of this before the game. Communication is so important.
