Its the way it used to be with Bill Brill at the Roanoke times


my apologies for entering that name in the minds of fellow Hokies. A challenge for Virginia Tech for 40 years has been that we don't have a friendly home town media. The Roanoke Times did much better since Brill kicked the bucket. New reporters that took their jobs as beat reporters covering Tech have pursued their reporting in a positive way.

But Barber was around when Brill set the standard for Hokie hate in the Virginia newspapers. UVa's recent success obviously gives that new life.

Either way, I'll keep my chin up. Its not been a good week for the Richmond, Roanoke and C-ville papers (all sold to another owner). The old media is on its last leg. kids today have never read a morning newspaper.
