The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Ugh, again?

From the category of “Things I never want to write about again” is news that Bill Stewart’s contract, yet unsigned, will be finalized soon.

“It’s in the hands of the attorneys reviewing the drafts as we speak,” WVU Deputy Director of Athletics Mike Parsons said. “We fully expect something here to be completed certainly within the next month.”

I suppose that’s good news, though was anyone really worried? I mean, this time last year P-Rod hadn’t signed his and we just knewsomething was up. Even when it was signed and he said he was just tinkering with the retirement funds, you knew that was bull. This time, it just seems the lawsuit and the scandal and transition at Stewart Hall was a tad more important and that Stewart wasn’t a top priority. That’s not mean to be offensive, but to say no one is worried he’ll cause a problem.

So the chances are WVU will have a football coach with a signed contract here shortly, which should pretty much punctuate the last page in the regrettable saga of the past seven months. We can then focus on the season, which is something I’d like to see.

This is the only post of the day and it occurs to me we talk an awful lot about what’s happened and what’s happening and spend far too little time on what might happen. So the question is posed to you today, “What do you want to see happen this year?”

I’ll start. Lobster in the press box.
