…from the weekend that was. For your use in elevator rides, trips to the water cooler and other awkward moments on a Monday.

> I can’t begin to tell you how happy it made me to see that the Montreal Alouettes pummeled the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Friday. Yes, yes, Avon Cobourne had a nice game, and, yes, yes, darn-near WVU offensive coordinator Charlie Taaffe coached the Tiger-Cats to a 30-10 loss. Good for Avon and, honestly, I couldn’t care less about what happens with Taaffe. He’s his own man and free to make his own decisions about his career. That he isn’t on Bill Stewart’s staff is no issue to me. No, I’m just glad the Tiger-Cats president, who in January said someone in the West Virginia media called and apologized for botching the Taaffe story, which is a lie, had to suffer through the evening.

> This all seems so sudden that it’s hard to completely grasp, but WVU has another lottery-pick type player on the basketball team and it would seem we have two years tops to enjoy Devin Ebanks. 

> Joe Alexander isn’t so sure Kevin Jones won’t be joining him one day. 

> Gov. Joe Manchin made a nice addition to the Board of Governors. Call it Luck.

> The football team added an offensive lineman. Rejected lead: “There’s not much you can say about Pat Eger.”

> We soared past 100,000 page views. It caught me a little off guard and nearly ruined my big plans. Fortunately, we’re just 14 posts from 500 so I don’t have to call to cancel the magician.
