(Was broadcasting always what you wanted to do?
No, actually wanted to be a history major. As it turned out I started the curriculum and I met a guy who was a radio major who wanted to be the voice of the Tarheels. He and I got to be friends and he started up a stand and got to do some women's games for Liberty and you can be my color guy if you want and we're just going to record into a voice recorder. And I said OK, I've heard enough and listened and thought I could do that.
When I first did it, I thought this is really fun. And then the more I pursued it and if I wanted to get on the campus radio station, I'd have to change majors. So that's when I changed majors, and then got on the campus station, and it was a small station and small group and we were able to produce our own broadcast, talk radio and calling shows and things like. And he and I did that all four years in college. Another station at the church over there had a full time job with them. Gained experience doing that and kept doing sports got on the local cable station in Lynchburg did some basketball and baseball on television)

I lived in the same dorm with Brian for several years I believe. He's a solid individual. To be honest though I have a tough time recognizing him in the photos on IL sport's website. Guess I'm getting old. He's got much more of a TV face now. I'm also not sure how to put the above quote in a box.

I had to double check who actually made the post. Nicely done.
