Question about Game Programs, for those who were at Rupp

[JPScott]

I noticed that this season UK Athletics is producing Digital Pregame Guides before every game.

I was just wondering whether these publications are exactly the same as the game programs sold at the game or whether the two are different ?

For example below is the cover of the Pregame Guide to today's game vs. Arizona State. Is this the same as the game program itself ?

Normally I would think they are but I noticed that the away game vs. UCLA, UK produced a Pregame Guide which was not the same that UCLA used as its official program. And I think that's probably true for the Duke game in Chicago as well, although I haven't yet seen a program from that event yet.

I do know the ones produced online were the same for football as given away at Commonwealth Stadium. I compared them a few times. They will put their own version up for road games but for the games at home they are identical.

? - All he did was link to a page on the Kentucky athletics website.

Isaac Humphries was on the cover at the game. Briscoe was on the cover of the EKU game. Not sure about all the content. Will have to check it later.

Thanks for the information.

It's kind of surprising to me that they are different, since the Game Preview looks just like a regular program, with advertisements and all.

BTW, the reason I ask this is because I do like to include the cover of game programs on my website along with the boxscore etc. So if anyone would be willing to scan the cover and send me any programs from this year (or past years) I'd greatly appreciate it. I have a lot already but certainly not all of them.

Thanks again.

I thought the ones they sell were the same all year but as I haven't bought one, I'm not sure. The little free ones they give away are generally different every game and as someone above pointed out, Humphries was on today's.

The free ones are surprisingly good. The other ones would have to be super good for me to pay $ for it.
