I'm shocked that Sly didn't post this first.

Liberty Alum Steele Hired by Longhorn Networkhttp://www.libertyflames.com/index.cfm? ... ewsID=7360
Samantha Steele, a 2009 Liberty graduate and former sideline reporter for the Flames Sports Network, has been hired by ESPN's Longhorn Network. She was announced on Thursday as one of the network's first three talent hires, along with Kevin Dunn and Lowell Galindo.
Steele spent two years at Liberty (2007-08 and 2008-09). During that time, she gained experience as a sideline reporter during the Flames Sports Network's football, men's basketball and women's basketball television broadcasts.
A native of Phoenix, Ariz., Steele has covered Pac-10 and Big 12 Conference events the last two years, while working for Fox Sports Net and Fox College Sports.
Talent with Texas ties joining Longhorn Network
Steele has never lived in Texas but has relatives in Houston in Corpus Christi, and her parents grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
"If this had been the same job at Penn State, I probably wouldn't have taken it – not that there's anything wrong with Penn State," she said. "But the location is definitely desirable. Texas itself was the draw here – the location and the culture."
