It's not my job to be a Liberty cheerleader, Jim. The fact that Blair will set the mark isn't news. It's been inevitable all season and has been reported as such in stories throughout the year. The Williams bit was a bit of forward thinking. Nothing wrong with that.

I agree nothing wrong with it at all, but i just have this weird feeling. Something tells me with the style VMI plays and the length of time Reggie is on the floor he pulls a hammy or something next year and misses some time. Maybe that will just add to the drama though.

[Chris Lang]

Of course that could happen. He could become academically ineligible. He could decide to leave school. He could get eaten by a llama in Peru. The point is that he's ON PACE to shatter any mark Blair would set. That much is fact.

[Hold My Own]

I see both sides...I prob. would have let LB had his glory this year but as soon as preseason hits start pumping out the articles about Williams...I mean I cant think back this far but was this happening last year??? (meaning articles about LB breaking the record a year in advance) The first thing I remember is Scar saying something at the beginning of the year


Like I said I dont remember so dont stone me!

[Chris Lang]

Folks, remember too that Larry breaking the record will be covered extensively in tonight's game story.

[Cider Jim]

But will most of tonight's game story be about LB or how Reggie Williams outscored him and how he will break LB's record next year? Chris, I'm not telling you how to do your job, but in today's article, if most of it is going to be about RW, I wish the headline would have said that.

Of the options you provided, Chris, I'm rooting for the llama. RW + llama =

[Chris Lang]

We'll see what happens tonight. That'll dictate what the story is about. If Liberty wins by 20 and there's not much drama involved, the story could be all about Blair. Who knows. The fact that Williams will be on pace to break Blair's record next year won't be mentioned tonight. That's why I wrote it yesterday.

[Hold My Own]

Jim I think I understand where your coming from. It's just a simple suggestion. I dont think Jim would disagree with this statement but Lang is one of the best things that's happened to LU in a long long time...if you dont think so look back about 5 years ago at all the articles that were put out there....nobody appreciates you more then the heads at LU.


We're not trying to make you our Ron Brown here...I dont think Lynchburg could take that

[jmdickens]

I just hope we win by 20....that is the only part Jim I can agree with.....

Lang is great at reporting on LU athletics

For the sake of intra-office relations, I'm going to leave that one alone.

[Cider Jim]

Thanks, Chris. I hope there's a nic pic of LB in the paper, too.

Hold, I'm grateful Chris is writing about LU, even though he's not a "cheerleader" (in his own words).

[Chris Lang]

Jim, there probably won't be a picture. We won't be shooting the game since it's in Lexington, and AP won't be shooting it either. I'd suspect our main art tonight will be from the VT-BC game.

FYI -- I'm working on a Blair feature that will run in Monday's paper.

[Sly Fox]

Come on, Chris. I'm sure you snapped a pic or two for publication back in your younger days. Give us a little love.

[Hold My Own]

I'm going to see if our Photog's can go up...we really need a pic from the game...would you use a photo from Les, chris?

[Chris Lang]

Actually, VMI's sports information photog always shoots the games up there, and I'll ask him if he'll send some stuff over. He always does for football. If Les is going, that's a possibility as well.

Well, if that's the case, Chris, expect lots of pics of Reggie Williams; if we're lucky, LB may be in the background.

[Chris Lang]

Or I can ask him if he doesn't mind grabbing a shot of Blair and sending it to us. I'm sure he'd oblige.

[Cider Jim]

I can ask him if he doesn't mind grabbing a shot of Blair and sending it to us.

That would make all of us on this board and at the university very happy!

(if you ever get a slow news day, Chris, feel free to do an article on the 2 time BSC champion LU Quiz Bowl team).

Get in line Jim, I'm still waiting on the 10 page spread on Flames Television and their wonderful commentors

Maybe Chris would accept a bribe of your wife's cookies for an article about Scar-vision.

I may have to leverage that. Chris is like me. He loves food.

[Chris Lang]

I've never been known to turn down a meal, if that's what you're saying.

[Hold My Own]

Les is sending his assistant...Kevin? I forget the name, but i just spoke with him

[Sly Fox]

It sounds like we should be able to hook you up with a LB pic tonight. Will the VMI people allow them to stop the game to set aside the ball for Larry? I know when you are on the road its unlikely. But it would be a cool gesture ... especially considering the shoe may be on the other foot a year from now.

[Chris Lang]

No plans for that, according to VMI SI, Sly.

[Sly Fox]

I knew it was a longshot.
