Prep Talk

Our weekly chat is back tonight, and we'll be on location at the Pastor-Cooper Memorial Showcase at Daemen College starting around 9 (which means no video).

We'll share what happens tonight and there is plenty to discuss, including the conclusion of the football season (our All-WNY edition is Saturday, as is the Connolly Cup announcement).

As always, anything in the world of high school sports -- or our coverage of it -- is up for discussion. 

I promise I'll get to your question or comment in the chat -- but please be patient. It can get busy fielding all of the questions and I can only answer one at a time. And PLEASE don't enter your question/comment multiple times -- that only makes things more hectic.

Here are our past chats of the 2011 fall season: Nov. 16, Nov. 9, Nov. 2, Oct. 26, Oct. 19, Oct. 12, Oct. 5, Sept. 28, Sept. 21 (our video chat debut), Sept. 14, Sept. 7 and our preseason chat (Aug. 31), which also includes links to all of of the chats from 2010-11.

We're chatting tonight at 8 p.m., we'll again start with a video chat, and a big part of our discussion will be the Section VI football finals.

I'll be joined by fellow News Sports Reporter Lauren Mariacher as we answer your questions on camera. Afterwards, I'll go back to the traditional chat and get to your questions and comments there (NOTE: tonight we'll have an intermission between the video and the regular chat because I've got to finish a story). The video portion of the chat can be found below and will also be available on the buffalonews.com home page.

Here's audio from the chat:

You can also download the audio file here.

We'll preview the Section VI football finals, which we previewed in today's paper and through game-by-game PrepTalkTV videos on our video home page. There are, as always, the football polls and our "How The News voted" ballot.
