It's the end of July, so that means it's time for a new edition of the Pac-10 Handbook.
The big change this year is that we've switched completely from atoms to bits: we're distributing the Handbook electronically only. So visit our Pac-10 Handbook page, download your copy, and print it out (if need be).
The Handbook is a PDF file, and that makes it easy to distribute, search through, copy from, and browse (thanks to the built-in bookmarks). You can put a copy on your laptop and haul it around without the extra weight. And it also fits nicely on pocket devices such as an iPhone using software like Air Sharing, among others.
But there is one more thing....
Every year, athletics personnel up and down the west coast (who knows, maybe even nationally) wait with breathless anticipation to see what color the Handbook cover would be.
"Will it (finally) be in our school's color this year? I hope it's not in neon again."
But if there is no more hard-copy version of the Handbook, what does that mean for the cover color choice?
If, like us, you plan to print out the Handbook and stick it in a binder with a clear pocket over the front cover, then you can download the standard cover or the alternate cover from the Handbook page.
