So long, Kendall, Ching - and welcome David Hale

As you may know, former Telegraph Bulldog beat writer Josh Kendall and his Columbus counterpart David Ching are moving on. Kendall is leaving the paper and Ching is going to be covering Auburn for The Ledger-Enquirer.

We hired a guy named David Hale to cover the Dawgs for both papers, which are owned by the same company. He starts tomorrow, the first day of SEC Media Days.

Presumably you can follow his coverage on our Web site, as well as on his blog - which exists but doesn't have any posts yet.

With great sadness, I'm removing Ching's absolutely fantastic blog from my links. But I'll replace it with Hale's in expectation.

UPDATE 2: He posted like a million things today.

UPDATE: Mr. Hale is in the house, with his first post and a schedule for SEC Media Days. Sweet:
