    I understand why more schools are doing this, but I'd personally rather have a hard copy. Much easier to read through and they make nice collectables. The online media guides I've read through in the past tend to be slow to load and not very easy to browse.
    Places I've seen a college hockey game: Agganis Arena, Alfond Arena, Bright Center, Consol Energy Center, Conte Forum, DCU Center, Fenway Park, Gutterson Fieldhouse, Houston Field House, Lawler Arena, Madison Square Garden, Matthews Arena, Mullins Center, Schneider Arena, Scottrade Center, Sears Centre, Tampa Bay Times Forum, TD Bank Sports Center, TD Garden, Tsongas Center, Tully Forum, Verizon Center, Verizon Wireless Arena, Walter Brown Arena, Wells Fargo Center, Whittemore Center

      I'd rather have the hard copy too. NE Pats are going to have a slimmed down version for media and we will have one in the stat booth otherwise everything is likely to be on line.


      The BU decision may not be set in stone. Also if you contact Brian Kelley, they may still have some extras around. If it is the end of media guides as we know them I will have from 64-65 thru 09-10.

      My wife will not be sad to see the demise of media guides as I have/had numerous College FB, College Hockey, NFL etc. etc.

                  I was under the impression that the NCAA put a cap on the number of pages that can be done on a media guide because the clownshoe football factories were putting out absolutely behemoth editions every year and the NCAA didn't like it and stuck their nose in yet again.

                  I doubt any printing at all of these media guides will be restricted and I doubt BU was anywhere near the page restriction (want to say 250 pages but I don't know).

                  I think it's a terribly bad idea if that's the case and BU just isn't going to print it. It's a great thing to have for the recruits to be able to bring home with them and obviously the media wants a one-stop shop of information to be able to report things accurately. The media isn't going to want crappy paper printouts of the PDF files or have to go looking for this on BU's website.

I can't imagine him ever making anyone even feel uncomfortable when he's sober.There are plenty of players in my time covering the team who have looked at me differently or flirted with me or the like. Trivino has never been one of those players. Even outside of the rink, he'll say hi and is plenty of friendly, but has never been even close to saying or doing anything inappropriate.

                      Yeah, there's that too. I just didn't wanna sound like a whiner complaining about things being slightly less convenient for us reporters. Now if they ever take away our free food, that's a different story. I'd probably set a record for most angry faces in one post.

                          I can't decide if it is more likely that they confused BU with BC or just never noticed the GLI field changed.

                            Soccer? Soccer?!? Those divers! Those cryers! And try crediting your teammate for his brilliant pass for a change; you just tapped it into an open net; so why are you running away from your teammates celebrating all by yourself? And what is that stupid magic injury spray, anyway?!?!111 (Kidding! Kidding!)

                              That's fresh roasted on the premises, buster!!

                              And it's still downtown quality without the downtown price.
