Kyle Whelliston of Midmajority.com now writes for ESPN as most already know.
He has been a staunch supporter and champion of the midmajor teams and those teams with talent who don't get the limelight and who get perennially bashed by the likes of Billy Packer, Jim Nance, and Digger Phelps.
I just wrote Kyle an e mail, thanking him for all he does for the midmajor teams, and he was nice enough to write back saying it was his honor to tell the story of the midmajors to a larger audience this season, and he had some complimentary things to say about Bradley and its fans.
For those who might want to also send an e mail to Kyle, here is his e mail address:

None of the ESPN writers have e mail addresses, and the ESPN site specifically says that the writers will not respond personally to any e mail or communication except when doing so in print. But Kyle Whelliston is really a very nice guy and a great sports writer, who still takes the time and returns every email.
I recommend people take the time and write thanking him for his great coverage and support of Bradley, the Valley, and all midmajors.
Here are a few fine articles Kyle has done about BU and the Valley

BY the way, it isn't too late to send e mails to the BU coaching staff and athletic dept. congratulating them for their fine season and accomplishments. Most of them, especially Jim Les, do take the time to personally reply!!
