Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3119892, member: 27"] Yes. Packer and Durham aren't really journalists though. Packer got his BS in Economics from Clemson. Wes Durman went to Elon, which didn't even have a journalism major while he was a student. Both are from the South. With the background of these two, there is a lack of knowledge and perspective with a pair like that when the subject matter lies above the Mason-Dixon line. It probably would have been better to pair Pack with someone from Newhouse, but the conference is dominated by southern schools and the ACC network on air staff is also going to reflect that. I haven't see Cornette yet. My initial impression of Collingsworth is not good. He seems to know nothing and just clown around all the time. The other hires seem adequate. Hopefully they will grow into their roles over time. [/QUOTE]
