    I don't know Heather personally, but I've heard lots of good things about her from people, in and out of the business. (Knew some folks from back where she was in Pennsylvania.)

    Always was a little underappreciated when she worked in State College.

    I know Heather, and she's fantastic. Congrats to her on the move, if working for the WWL is what she really wants to do. :)

    Yeah, dadgum. It's a Bowden reference, fyi. Listen to any sound bite from the guy and it pops up about once or twice every 30 seconds.

    I'm unclear on one aspect of this.

    These people they're adding, are they full-time hires, or are they going to do contract work for ESPN while keeping their other jobs? Anybody know?

    I believe they're full-time hires -- no other newspaper or media gigs -- but not ESPN headcount. They're contract hires from what I've heard.

    Heather went through my alma mater, have also heard good things. Will ESPN be plucking a writer from every conference? They need not hire anyone else to help them with the SEC.

    Are we sure this is a full-time hire? Because I thought ESPN.com was looking to hire someone on a freelance basis to cover the ACC?

    It could be full time in the sense that the cash is very, very good.

    I don't know Heather well, but I heard JoePa didn't care for her during her time in State College.
    That's good enough for me - anyone who can tick off that cranky old SOB must have been doing something right.
    Good luck at ESPN.

    Joe also didn't care too much for some other female reporters on the beat. It is what it is.
