I noticed the last few weeks there was no VU sports blog or VU sports articles by David Robb in the NW Indiana Times. This morning I noticed David Robb's name shown as a columnist at the Post-Trib. Rlh, '89, chef, anyone know what happened or who might now be following VU athletics at the Times? With Mark Lazerus and his blog and articles, and now with David Robb at the Post-Trib, VU should get some pretty good media coverage for athletics!

The only thing I've heard about the Times is that there will be several people covering the Crusaders at least temporarily. Paul Jankowski, Paul Oren and maybe some others. No one has been assigned permanently as far as I know.....Robb notified them several weeks ago that he had accepted a position with the Post-Tribune, but the Times kept him on board until the very last day. Certainly their right, but very unusual in the media business....or at least in broadcasting. My feeling were there we some hard feelings involved, probably because he went to the "chief' rival.

I wondered if maybe the Blog was dead (long live the blog).

David had some good reasons for going to the PT. He won't be covering VU, as far as I know.
RLH's take on the situation is correct until the Times hires a full-timer.

Interesting side note, but Paul Oren was my RA either my first or second year. I think he works for VU still as well?
