    RLuca42,

    How long did you stick around there before making the decision to go the teaching route?

    Some trivia about this town, which I actually liked when I lived there, but then again, a few bars and golf courses and I'm easily amused:

    Anyway, for those who do not know, the sports editor here from like 1975-late 1977 or so was ... Mr. Love-Him-or-Hate-Him, T.J.Simers.

    I've been told by a Rockford-ex no worries about coverage competition ... they stop at the state line.

    I don't even remember Rockford being an issue when I worked there. Our coverage went a little south, but not much past South Beloit. Rockford covered nothing in Wisconsin that I'm aware of.

    Even if the RRStar did cover Beloit, it'd be laughably bad coverage.

    As for Beloit, be sure to stop in at the Bear Chest.

    Just started the interviews late last week. More to come, but our basketball section is due this week and a team made the state finals for football so we are a bit swamped.

    Any updates on this job? Just joined the long line of Gannett employees to get the axe.
