Finally…Spring has sprung here in The Mountain State!! It’s been 80+ degrees the past couple of days, with plentiful sunshine. However, as happy as that makes me I must temper my enthusiasm since preliminary indications are that next week will begin with a “wintry mix”. I am exercising similar caution with the sports calendar because,… Read More Winning & Musing…Volume 2.18
Greetings sports fans.

And to all my Marshall peeps out there, please understand…I grew up in the shadow of WVU, less than an hour from Morgantown, and have been a loyal fan all my life. Just… Read More Random Thoughts 19
I had a vision, a very specific way that I wanted to present to the masses my picks for the NCAA Basketball Championship Tournament.
