Ruining a Routine
Daisuke Matsuzaka reportedly iced his arm after pitching in his last spring training game before the season. This doesn’t sound like a big deal, considering every Major League pitcher ices their arm virtually every second of the day when they aren’t on a mound. But this is different…why? Because Dice-K never ices his arm. Yes, [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )4 Thoughts Before the Final 4
Ok so now that I am officially out of the one bracket pool I did this year, (I had Kansas over Memphis) I feel like I can sit back and really enjoy the talent left in the Final Four. And for the record, I do not hate Greg Oden. Here goes:
4. Aaron Afflalo, who “ironically” [...]
TALENT WINS
You can talk about coaching. You can talk about schemes. But at the end of the day, it’s talent that matters in college basketball.
Look at the elite 8. Outside of Kevin Durant, you could at least ARGUE, that the 10 best American NBA prospects were still playing. Greg Oden, Brandan Wright, Al Horford, Joakim Noah, Roy [...]
8 Thoughts Before the Elite 8
8. I still Hate CBS and Billy Packard. How ridiculous is this guys analysis? When Hansbrough was flagrantly fouled by Henderson in UNC-DUKE, when Oden Demolished Cage in OSU-Xavier and tonight when Green traveled in GTOWN-VANDY? The guy is so bad it sickens me…
7. UNLV will not be this year’s George Mason, in fact there [...]
Coaching Carousel Begins; Thoughts from a Mountaineer
Tonight begins the Sweet 16 of the Men’s NCAA basketball tournament and while 8 school’s finish their final preparations for this evening’s contests, two major programs will begin their search for a new head basketball coach.
Earlier this week, Steve Alford left his post at Iowa for the University of New Mexico, while Tubby Smith is [...]
16 Thoughts before the Sweet 16
16. Kevin Durant should move on to the NBA. Greg Oden COULD use another year on campus.
15. It’s been 15 years since Duke won back-to-back Championships. Florida could change that.
14. The Big Ten is the worst major conference this year. They were one 3pt buzzer beater away from advancing no teams into the rd of [...]
Porter to Dolphins; Wells Elated
I have to be honest, I started to grow a strong dislike for the Pittsburgh Steelers from the moment I stepped foot on campus at West Virginia University. I actually had a lot of friend’s(even my dad) who are Steelers fans and I don’t fault them, they didn’t bring me to such hatred. It was [...]

What a week, virtually everyone lost at some point and we have 6 teams who have already punched their tickets for the NCAA tournament. I was very impressed with some mid-major teams this weekend, which is apparent at the bottom of this list. (Last Weeks Rank in parenthesis)
1. Kansas(2)- Finished strong with wins over [...]
Anything is Possible
Last night as I sat reclined in what’s quickly becoming “Wells’s chair” at my best friend Joe’s house, I was in awe of what I had just witnessed and realized something…ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
You see, just eight month’s ago I was sitting with Joe in what I can only describe as the “Priest’s Office,”(I’m not very [...]
The State of the Welterweights-The Great Awakening
Notes on the Division
This is probably the most interesting weight class in the UFC. Matching any two of the fighters listed here would be worthy of a top undercard at least. Histories and style contrasts make the future of the division facsinating.
One subplot invovles Penn and Hughes who have beaten and hate one another. Penn [...]
