Dave Campbell Texas Football magazine

I think Matthew is right. The magazine racks are getting smaller every year. The stores seem to be fading out their magazines. Should have been able to see this coming. I think DCTFM is doing what it takes to survive.

Mags are at HEB in Lumberton and WalMart in Silsbee.

Didn’t see them in Walmart. Bought the last one at HEB

Still a lot of team's that I follow profiles haven't been updated on texasfootball.com

They just took out the magazine rack at Market Basket. I've found them there for years. This year they were actually in the checkout by the hurricane maps. They also still had last years magazine on the rack up until they removed them all. Which tells me there's not as much interest here in Orange. Imagine that

We each got a list of about 100 schools to update...a few people are on vacation and haven't updated theirs yet...for example I had East Texas so most of the schools around Tyler and Longview have their pages updated

My wife drove to the market basket on 105 and got me one there. She didnt have a chance to see how many they had, cuz they were holding one for her.

Heb on gulfway has a ton.

A little surprised that the online subscription is woefully behind the information in the magazine. The articles are nice but the online subscription data is borderline useless. 

You would think that if they wanted everyone to get the subscription, they would place some effort into getting the data accurate.

I thought it’s all the same subscription? Didn’t know there was a online one that’s separate

The subscription includes online services that include team info similar to what is found in the magazine. The online information is not current and contains last season's information along with incorrect rosters.

I believe they were still working on updating them is what Matt had said… yeah the season is basically here and it’s a little annoying but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal…. They will get it going I imagine

Yes I have been waiting for the 2024 updates too. Its not the best look for the online site to still display 2023 info with the season so close. It seems this year DCTF's information, timing, and accuracy is all out of sync.

No doubt, they are "working on it". In all my years of management, each time there is a failure in the company, those that are failing are "working on it". 

It is a big deal to someone who is paying for a product/service and does not receive the service they want. They claim that the "print magazine is being phased out" in favor of the digital, yet the digital is incompetent. The team preview information has been available to DCTF for several weeks.

The rosters are likely to be a work in progress if they pull from Maxpreps which pulls from HUDL. Most teams will have HUDL current in a couple of weeks.

Isn't the digital version of the magazine available to subscribers? That would have the teams previews.

That is allegedly the case, all of the information for the teams I have checked is from 2023.

I am talking strictly about the mag online. The digital version is exactly like the mag that you get off the bookshelves.

I looked at the digital mag online and it is exactly like what was printed in the mag that is sold in stores right now.

I am not talking about what is on their site in regards to online info, just the digital mag.
