    i would get about 200-300 comments a night

    and tons of people telling me how much they enjoyed it, but they didn't want to comment

    I do live chats about once every couple of months. I've yet to have more than two people log in, and I cover a pro sport for a large paper.

    Just make sure you get to the stadium early enough for the breakfast buffet.

    How can a major-metro paper justify not blogging? I've been the No. 6 guy in the press box, writing the table-scraps sidebar. Blogging would have been much more fun.

    Yours is still the best I've ever seen for in-game. Jay Tate, who covers Auburn for the Montgomery paper, might do the best beat blog of the ones I read.

    What makes it so good? I have some theories, but Brian Windhorst, who covers the Cleveland Cavs, does a good job.

    How about a good in-game blog? What do people expect/want from these?
