Sports reporter wanted to cover Va.Tech

Mike Barber doesn't always drink beer, but when he does, he drinks it at Jack Browns. He also doesn't always drink in garages, but when he does, he prefers Jack Daniels.

Great move for Mike. Great hire by the T-D. Crippling news for Harrisonburg's downtown establishments. People usually say that as a joke, but in this case it's really pretty serious. Congratulations Barbs. Now to work on revenge for my going-away page...

 

Echo the congratulations for Mike. As always, if Harrisonburg opens the job -- apply, apply, apply. Chris Simmons did wonders for my career. Owe him most of it, actually, and he'll probably cringe that I wrote that. Sorry Chris, but it is true.
