It was the “Week of Reckoning” ...

Rob Manfred is a cyborg, sent back from the future to destroy baseball.

Bob Huggins has been around since the beginning of basketball, it seems.

That's what USA Today thinks of the Pittsburgh Pirates' outlook in 2020. So much for the hope-springs-eternal bliss of Spring Training, eh?

It was hyped up to be a big-time showtime between the charismatic, rocket-armed quarterback versus the NFL's heavy-handed, hotshot defense. It didn't disappoint.

Bards will compose sonnets hailing his strength and mastery, and the people will keep coming in swarms to witness his grandiose feats of finesse and veracity.

Put yourself in Logan Routt's shoes. (OK, they're size 15, but hang with me on this ...) A senior and the oldest player on the 14th-ranked West Virginia...

First off, kudos once again to the OVAC Wrestling Tournament poohbahs for pulling off another wonderful event. If you've never been to one, go next year and be there for the opening ceremonies when the teams come out one-by-one, Olympic-style. You can feel the pride and nervousness permeate and dominate Wheeling's Wesbanco Arena, as the athletes are getting primed to roll.

Well, it's been almost 24 hours. Has Jamie Dixon cancelled all future dates with West Virginia University?

If the West Virginia University basketball squad could ever find a way to make Coach Bob Huggins happy, they could be looking at a picture-perfect run...

He's a workout warrior, a hard-charger, and a kid with a bright future. As a freshman last year, he finished second in the prestigious Ron Mauck OVAC Wrestling Tournament. The 2020 version of this grueling event kicks off next Thursday in Wheeling's Wesbanco Arena.

One thing I'm sure of: Don't expect senior Chase Harler to back down. It's not his style, and he's itching to get back in action as his game is at an all-time high. Harler knocked down two huge threes against OSU, each giving his squad the lead. He had 10 points against the Buckeyes.
