For years, I harangued the sports staff at the Roanoke Times about why they covered Tech, UVA and even Liberty football, but not JMU, except in the "State roundup" scores along with Emory and Henry and Virginia Wesleyan. They always said, "That's not our area...they have a newspaper in Harrisonburg," as if Charlottesville is any closer to Roanoke. Well, I noticed in today's football weather forecast on their website, it gives the game time weather for Tech, UVA...and JMU.

It's slow coming, fellas, but finally we're being mentioned in the same breath as Those Other Two Schools. Bits and pieces, here and there. But it's happening.

I'd share a link, but it's paywalled.
