He is a member of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and the Roanoke Valley Golf Hall of Fame in recognition of his media career. Doug can be heard on the Greg Roberts Show on WFIR-960 AM every Thursday afternoon and readers can still enjoy his weekly College Notebook, published every week for more than 45 years, on his Facebook page.
