FRONT PAGE-WS Journal
Wow. App has been getting some major coverage in the WS Journal. A personal high-five to Brant Wilkerson-New. Sunday morning FRONT PAGE!

Re: FRONT PAGE-WS Journal
He had a typo in the article last week about playing Howard. He had Hampton. I emailed him and besides mentioning this I told him how much I appreciated the App coverage and was so glad to see it continue with the WSJ and wished it could happen in Greensboro.AppDawg wrote:I'll throw in my kudos as well, Brant has been doing an excellent job!

His reply back started with "Damnit...." in realizing the mistake had not been fixed by the time I had emailed him. I appreciated the tone of the email and him being a bit jovial in the mistake, but also wanting to get things correct. He seems like he will do a great job covering App.
I wonder if WSJ got a lot of emails about Tommy and they realized how important App was to their circulation numbers or at least on-line clicks. Now that I am working in the central part of the city and county I need to locate a box where I can pick up a copy. They used to have a search for that very thing on their website.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Re: FRONT PAGE-WS Journal
What really stands out to me about Brant's articles are the depth and quality of his articles. It is obvious he spends considerable time researching and that translates into a much better and more in-depth article. I very much liked Tommy but Brant's work has stepped up our coverage in a big way. I live in Atlanta and see this type of coverage for UGA from some of the local writers. I have never seen this level for App prior to Brant.
I look forward to ready much more from him in the future.

Re: FRONT PAGE-WS Journal
Great article! The parallels are interesting and ones I've thought of often lately. Saturday's game can't get here soon enough!
