Mornings with McElroy on this Thursday saying Congratulations to Taylor Heinicke for winning the Dudley Award for best player in Virginia.

The Dudley Awards are always a great night attending the Dudley Award Banquet seeing fine people like Bobby Ross who I spent a good 30 minutes catching up with and talking football, which is always a treat. I got to spend a few minutes with VT Associate head coach Shane Beamer, who  told me his daughters rejoiced upon hearing the Hokies were headed to a Bowl in Orlando, not for the fact it would keep Grandpa's streak of 20 bowls alive but rather it was another trip to Disney World.

Also good to see players like UVA's Steve Greer, UR Cooper Taylor and Ben Edwards, and always great to see the HOF Willie Lanier and an outstanding job by CBS6 Lane Casadonte for his emceeing of the event.

Much more at 3pm.

Guest Lineup today:

335-VCU Point Guard Darius Theus

350-Jon Laaser from the Winter Meetings

420-Baltimore Ravens NT Maake Kemoeatu

435-Gary Hess, Sports Radio 910 Sports Director

505-Jeff Erickson of Rotowire.com

Did You Know:Kobe Bryant became the youngest person to score 30,000 points in his career. There are only 4 other players in NBA history to score 30,000. Can you name them?
