Title: VU in the national media, 2015-16
Post by: agibson on November 19, 2015, 12:04:01 PM
We have STLVU's blog, of course
http://horizonleague.blogspot.com/ (http://horizonleague.blogspot.com/)

And lots of articles will make more sense in particular game threads, or other places.

But, in this hopefully historic season, maybe it's worth having a thread to post and discuss VU in the press, media, national stage, etc.

It's an Insider story, so I can't see the good bits.

But, always nice to see Valpo on the front page of ESPN"S NCAAM section.

Nice to see Katz paying some attention to us, also, in his video blog.

(and echoes the sentiment that Butler's 144 was due to the Citadel's style of play)

Nice to see Valpo getting casually name dropped like this.
