Quick thought from Cameron
A few weeks back, Jeff Carlton - who worked in Danville and Charlottesville, lo many years ago - seemed suprised when I wrote about the horde of Virginia press that descends on Tobacco Road for games.
Tonight is further proof of my assertion. Look, I know Virginia Tech is hot, but I still didn't think the press room would be packed at Cameron, and that I'd be stuck in the very back corner. Why? Because as far as I can tell, every paper in Virginia with a circulation over 20,000 sent a writer down to cover the game.
Not that I'm complaining. Just making a note. Off to cover the actual game now. I'm curious to see how the upstart Hokies handle the Cameron environment in the opening minutes.

Jim,
You don't have to be a reporter with a 20,000 circulation to show up at an ACC game. I know a guy that writes for a weekly in Virginia (trust me you'd know him if you saw him) and everytime I see him when I'm covering a high school game he brags about staffing ACC games.
I'm the sports editor of a bi-weekly and I hope to maybe work an ACC game...not because I can, but because if I don't I'll be fired. :)
