as I love to have something to hold on to too!!
I wonder how much the cost of the 'online' media cost will be..
Not everyone is online either.... So many people are not on the web.. older folks espeically.. and that is a big fan base here in Corvallis...

: is no more printed media guides ... that may
: not be a big loss ... at least if I can get
: one on a DVD.
:
: Here is a GT article about the OSU Athletic
: Department's efforts to use technology to
: get information out to more (younger)
: fans/boosters ... it mentions the new media
: guides (sounds like they will be a lot more
: than the current pdf versions of the printed
: guides) ...

: OSU athletics ahead of the technology curve

: ... Another dramatic step the Beavers are
: taking this season is an interactive online
: media guide, instead of the historical
: printed version.
:
: It’s a cost-saving measure of production,
: printing and mailing of these books for each
: sport. Fenk doesn’t have the exact savings
: yet, but expects it will be drastic.
:
: The Beavers plan to launch their online
: media guide for football around Aug. 1. with
: other sports to follow. It will be easier to
: do the other sports, using some of the same
: school background information that football
: uses.
:
: “We are ahead of the curve on this big
: time,” Fenk said. “It should be a pretty
: exciting look at our program.”
:
: There will be video pop-ups with players and
: coaches walking on screen, talking and
: walking off. Readers will turn the Web page
: for more interviews and videos.
:
: Another facet to dropping the print version
: is the ability to update, correct and
: enhance online guides. Printed guides are
: obsolete before the first game.
:
: “I like this and I can see the need for
: that,” Riley said. “People like the Internet
: to research schools. A lot of times those
: (printed) guides get left under a stack of
: books and forgotten. Now we can put out some
: different things people will like, and save
: money.”
:
: Fenk plans to do this for one year and tally
: the final cost savings and fan reaction. He
: knows older fans want something to hold and
: read, so a smaller version may be sent out
: to donors before being totally phased out.
