2006 Media Guide

[hatvol96]

I like the cover. The "Power of the T" concept is a good one. The SID's office should be proud.

So would you say it is better than last year's?

That would be damning it with faint praise. The '05 media guide cover may have been the worst in the history of sports.

C'mon, you know you wanted a big mug of Jesse.

Saw the cover and discarded it. First time I've ever done that with a media guide. I didn't even do that with the Wade Houston era editions of the basketball guide.

challenge: the worst, or best depending on your point of view, was the Florida one with the crocodile on the cover instead of the alliGATOR....funny, funny stuff....

I think the format for the player profiles is a little bit hard to follow bc the profile isn't aligned with players pic.

Got mine in the mail today

Didn't they change the size allowed last year? perhaps with less space to fill they put more effort into the cover.

I think the cover is good, but the design and layout of the inside took a big step back, it looks like it was done on MS Publisher or something, and I should know, thats what we use for our hockey guide. It's nowhere close to the graphics and polished look of the past few years.

The NCAA, in their neverending quest to interject themselves into all things irrelevant, has enacted a number of rules related to media guides. For example, the number of color pages is regulated. I'm sure these ridiculous standards have something to do with the change in the look of the guide.

How would I go about getting a copy of the media guide?

Call the Sports Information Office. They'll have the details on how to purchase one.

Yeah, first they restricted/eliminated the color pages inside. Then last year they restricted the size (around 200 pages max now), now maybe a limit on graphics? :dunno:

I wish the NCAA (National Conference of Absolute A-holes) would stop worrying about meaningless crap like restricting media guide size and start doing things that matter...maybe speeding up the Clearinghouse or something.

I still think its absurd that programs with the tradition of Tennessee, Notre Dame, Michigan, etc. have to keep there media guides the same size as places like MTSU, Central Florida, and Louisiana Directional Universities. :fool:

I miss the huge media guides. The 1997 and 1998 Media guidses were my favorite books as a kid.

They are available at volmall.com, the Tennessee Traditions store, and they sell them at Wal-Mart and some convenience stores now.

'97, '98..."a kid"....wow, I feel old :huh:

Yeah, I collect older media guides, and the huge ones from the 80's, 90's, and early 00's are the best. I have a 2001 Michigan guide that looks like a college trigonometry textbook...its like 400+ pages.

They sell them at walmarts in east tenn.

Why? Are you talking about the price?

 

[Jasongivm6]

Why? Are you talking about the price?

No, the picture.

What happened to the covers with the players at Neyland with the "sunshine shinin" on them?

 

[USAF_Vol]

Ehh, I don't mind it. Something different

 

[Jasongivm6]

Ehh, I don't mind it. Something different

Yeah, I guess it shouldn't matter. It's just a magazine...


But I'm getting a headache staring at that pic.

Are the lights, walls, everything "FREEZE OR I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!!!" Orange?
