J D Howell

May have missed it if it was already posted, but has anyone heard if he will be replaced and the 4-6 time slot will still be re VT???

Is JD moving onto something else? I'm an avid podcast listener (cannot listen during work), so I was asking myself what was going on with no podcasts posted since April 30....

What exactly are you referring to in your post? More details? A link?

Tried to email him at espnblacksburg and ask him but no response. May have deleted that email address.

At the last spring scrimmage, J.D. told us he'd be moving on to a new job in South Carolina. He said he wasn't sure if things would continue or not with his show, sorry to say.

"He'll get after ya"- Frank Beamer, repeatedly.

If you click on ESPN Blacksburg local programming, it says a new show is coming 6/11

The whole ESPN Blacksburg thing has been poor quality for local programming since the onset in my opinion. I think CBS Sports Radio is winning that battle. I'd love for there to be a quality replacement. The more local coverage, the better.

ESPNBlacksburg has a position opened on their employment page. Seems like they are going to try to fill it.

You guys should just listen to Kyle Bailey on the Clubhouse instead. ;-)

@AMB4VT

I thought ESPN Blacksburg was great when Brian Marcolini was there. It kind of fell off once he left.

My problem was I never got a good signal...always had static.
Didn't have a problem with the show itself.

@AMB4VT

I live in Alabama, and just listened to the podcasts at work the next day. Not trying to say JD was bad, but he was better when Brian was his wingman

Yes, he was. And vice versa.

Both were needed to temper the fairly frequent headscratchers that would come out the others' mouth.

Can someone list a link to Kyle's podcasts.

You know what would be about as big of troll job as there could be? If they hired sonnyrandle to be Howell's replacement.

I've been checking here & there but still nothing that I can find re his replacement. Last I tuned in Le Batard & his annoying Dad were still in the time slot.

Was wondering the same thing. Tried to listen on the way home yesterday (after 6pm) and spent the ride trying to find the podcast, but could only find TuneIn.

@hokie_rd

you have to ride the volume...commercials are so damn loud...but it is so great to hear Hokie chatter on the way home. Wish that Podcast was in place

You in the mean time should be working on watching those sport movies you have never seen. What were they, any of the Rocky's, Field of Dreams, Jerry McGuire, Bull Durham, Raging Bull.

Also I didn't understand how Rudy never made either of your lists, its gotta be a top five sports movie. On another note I have high hopes for the movie Southpaw it looks really good.

Rudy stinks... boo Notre Dame, and boo Rudy.

Five star get after it 100 percent Juice Key-Playing. MAN

Got to give the Jackets credit (which won't happen much) for this gem:

Notre Dame is the Mr. Burns of college football.

@VTimHokie85

The top 5 sports movies, in no particular order, are:

Miracle
Major League
White Men Can't Jump
Cool Runnings
Bull Durham

This has been an edition of VTrumpet makes a list

You misspelled Caddyshack.

Well shit. Put that in instead of cool runnings. This is the list equivalent of walking around with your fly down
