Before Mike Holmgren decided to reiUrn for one and only one - more sea· son coaching the Seahawks, he signed a new pact. Not with Seattle ... with his wife . "She's making me fill out this litt'e contract: ' Upon completion of your last game : The laundry ; the garbage; the whole deal,"' Holmgren joked Tuesday when asked what he may feel like after he fulfill s the final season of a two-year contract.

What if he wants to keep doing what he's done .every football season smce 1971, when he was a htstory teacher and assistant coach at l,.incoln High School in San Francisco?

Still, the 59-year-old former quarterback at Southern California was so uneasy .about that choice Tuesday morning he ca)led his wife at her job as a nurse at a clinic in downtown Seattle, just to be sure. · "Look it, it will probably be an emotional time," he said of a 2008 season that will become a farewell tour he doesn't want.

Tuesday, Holmgren said his comments about an extension were overblown and "misinterpreted," that the decision was always aboui working one more season or retiring. . The Seahawks have a likely heir to Holmgren in place in Jim Mora. Soon after Mora was fired as heact' coach of the Atlanta Falcbns on New Year's Day, 2007, Holmgren added him to the· staff as the assistant head coach and defensive backs coach.

Then again, maybe it's all a mse. The conspiracy theorists were out in full force Tuesday on WFAN, the allsports radio station 'n New York, suggesting that the 18-0 Patriots put Brady in a soft .cast merely to confuse the Giants. In fact. there are pictures aplenty on the Web, showing Brady squiring Bundchen from her West Village pad to an East Village hotspot minus the boot.

David Letterman, meanwhile; offered his own plan. The "Late Show" host suggested the Giants might consider slipping last year's Super Bowl MVP, Peyton Manning, into the No. l 0 jersey worn by his brother, Eli. Eli may not have the cachet of his olct'er brother, but at least he did not make the same mistake that Brett Favre did, throwing an interception that cost the Green Bay Packers a chance to beat the Giants in overtime last weekend. After thai victory in the NFC championship game, the brothers talked on the phone. "He said I'm past the point where he can give me advice anymore," Eli said. "He wants it the other way now. 1 don't know if I agree with him, but it's great to hear it from him. I'll take all the advice 1 can get." He's sure to hear plenty. Over the years, the break between the league conference games and the Super Bowl has varied between one week and two weeks.

He guessed these totals were "normal" and comparable to last year's totals. . VVhen the roads get bad there are around 30 employees on staff, many who hit the highways to keep traveling as safe as possible. ,On a busy, snowy day, the department's eight trucks are out on the roads with two spare trucks waiting at the garage if needed. One of the toughest areas of the county to treat i$ the west end due to the time it takes tp get there and the distance from the department's winter supplies. All of those supplies, including salt and cinders, are kept at the garage on Fairgrounds Road.

Dear Annie: This is in response to "Friends Go Dutch," who said women who just want to be friends sho!lld pay their own way. I agree that friends should share the cost of meals when they go out, but his remark that "she shouldn't be accepting generosity that creates obliga- tion" really irked me. Since when are women obligated to go to bed with a man because they· are dating? All she owes him for a meal is a "thank you ." If a man is buying a woman dinner_and expecting sexu- . al favors in return, he might as well j ll$t leave the money on the nightstand, if you get my drift. Disgusted in Arizona Dear Arizona: We agree that women do not owe sexual favors for a free dinner, but when men bear the entire cost of dating, they believe the woman is interested in a romantic, eventually intimate, relationship. They otherwise feel used and resent it. Whether justified or not, women would be wise to keeP. it in mind.

Dear Virginia: Tell Tina you appreciate her sentimef!tal good wishes, but you absolutely will not fol-low the directions in chain letters or pass them along. Let her know if she keeps sending .them your direction, you can guarantee the chain will be broken. She may be disappointed, but it should solve your problem. Dear Annie: This is in response to "Friends Go Dutch," who said women who just want to be friends sho!lld pay their own way. I agree that friends should share the cost of meals when they go out, but his remark that "she shouldn't be accepting generosity that creates obliga- tion" really irked me. Since when are women obligated to go to bed with a man because they· are dating? All she owes him for a meal is a "thank you ." If a man is buying a woman dinner_and expecting sexu- . al favors in return, he might as well j ll$t leave the money on the nightstand, if you get my drift. Disgusted in Arizona Dear Arizona: We agree that women do not owe sexual favors for a free dinner, but when men bear the entire cost of dating, they believe the woman is interested in a romantic, eventually intimate, relationship. They otherwise feel used and resent it. Whether justified or not, women would be wise to keeP. it in mind.

He added that he is impressed with the diversity and quality of the pieces in the exhibit. · "A number of the pieces have social and political statements," Allen said.

Armbruster and Eversole have worked very hard on their art while at Rio Grande, and have some excellent pieces in the exhibit. "It was a lot of work to get ready," Eversole said. "That was one thing I never really · realized when I was an underclassman, how much work people put into putting shows together." The exhibit was wellrecei.ved at its o~ening , and the two students are proud to have their work on display in the Senior Exhibit. "I am so pleased with how it turned out," Eversole said. The exhibit will be open through Jan. 28, and all area . residents are invited to stop into the Greer Museum to see it.

"That was one thing I never really · realized when I was an underclassman, how much work people put into putting shows together." The exhibit was wellrecei.ved at its o~ening , and the two students are proud to have their work on display in the Senior Exhibit. "I am so pleased with how it turned out," Eversole said. The exhibit will be open through Jan. 28, and all area . residents are invited to stop into the Greer Museum to see it.

Brown had been pressing WVU to act on new moneymakt ng ventures such as allowmg advertising on the walls at Mountaineer Field and letting Rodriguez have his own prud-subscriptic;m Web site. The e-mails indicate WVU was proceeding slowly, researching legal and NCAA issues after learning of a controversy involving the Web site of Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione . But an Aug. 1 e-mail from Brown suggested a longsimmenng tension between Rodriguez, Pastilong and key assistant director, Mike Parsons. That e-mail complained that "Pastilong is talking directly to the governor," and Manchin subsequently called Rodriguez to placate him.

Babcock said Wednesday he left WVU to become senior associate director of athletics at the UQiversity of Missouri. "It was not an Ed Pastilot~;g .i~sue .. It was a job respons1b1hty 1ssue and a tremendous opportunity. At Missouri, I have the opportunity to be the number two guy and expand my role," he said. "Ed Pastilong and I parted on good tenns." Rodriguez was promised in December 2006, in agree-ing to a new coQtract with WVU, that Parsons' "interaction, tactical and strategic decisions affecting football would be reduced and Whit Babcock's role in the AD would be increased. Whit's leaving not only affects WVU, but ts a result of an unfulfilled verbal promise made to Rich," Brown The Blue and White had possesston of the ball with 25 seconds remammg and worked most of the clock away by being patient with thetr possession . Gallia Academy got the ball to Davtd Rumley on the baseline with under 10 seconds left, and the semor buried a fade-away jumper wtth JUSt over tllree seconds left to give the guests a 53-51 edge. Out of a River Valley timeout, the Raiders- threw the hall the length of the floor in an attempt to get a decent shot off, but the mbounds pass was stolen by the Devils' Quinton Nibert. Nibert was fouled immediately and went to the free throw line wtth I .7 seconds left on the clock, where he sank one of two freebies for a 54-51 edge. The Raiders agam tned to tl)row .a full-court tnbounds pass down the floor for a decent shot attempt, which they got the second time as Ian Lewis carne down with the pass and launched a 40footer at the buzzer. Lewis' desperation heave bounced off the front iron, allowing the Blue Devils to sneak away with a season sweep of this series. .

Afterward GAHS coach Jim Osborne was pleased with how well his troops responded after losing a nail-biter to Portsmouth (55-54) just 24 hours earlier. The venerable coach also thought that his kids showed a lot of character in this triumph. "We had a heck of a' game the night before.

Forgoing a six-year, $12 million offer from Alabama, Rodriguez signed a new contract with WVU on Aug. 24. It included a pay raise from $1.05 million to $1.78 million, and a one-ume increase of. $100,000 to the assistant coaches' salaries. WVU also created a retirement plan that gave Rodriguez tax benefits; promised to reduce his buyout clause from $4 million to $2 million 10 2008; built a $2 million academic center for athletes; and agreed to a nearly $6 nulhon renovation of the locker room facilities at season's end. But Rodriguez had additional demands the e-m·aJls show were being addressed throughout the fall, includ10g free game passes for high school football coaches, control of the sidelines, an all-access pass for wife Rita and seats at WVU basketball games for his football recruits. , "Also of importance is the Thursday, January 24, 2008 • Portsmouth) that we expended a lot of energy in. We were as energetic tonight late in the game a>' we were at the beginmng, and I thought that wa,s a tes-. lament to our conditioning as well as our mental focus," Osborne commented "Our concentration, for the most part tomght, was very good. For a team that hasn't won a lot of games this year, we never showed fear or acted like here we go again. We made a couple of good plays in the end that allowed us to come away wtth thts wtn. "This was just a great game between two teams that compete fiercely against one another, and we were just fortunate enough to come up with the big plays late." On the flip side, RVHS coach Gene Layton was just as pleased ·with his team's efforts - despite dropping the1r third straight decision. "We came out and did exactly what we needed to do in the second half. We fought , we battled and we left it on the floor, but we just couldn't catch a break late," Layton said. "We couldn't ask anymore of our kids than what they gave us tonight They keep giving us all they have and we just keep coming up on the short end for some reason. I hate it for them that we haven't had better results, but I really love this team because they give us all they have." Galha Academy stonned out to an 11-3 lead midway through the first period en route to a nine-point lead after eight minutes, then held its biggest lead of the night at 22-11 with 4:321eft in the first half. RVHS closed out the first half on a slim 6-4 run to pull within nine entering the break.. GAHS shot 12-M-21 from the field in the opening half for 57 percent, while the Raiders were 6of-17 .from the floor for 35 percent over that saiJle span. River Valley managed to cut its deficit down to five on two separate occasion,s Shred fromPageBl on embarrassing," Wizards coach Eddie Jordan said. ''They really brought it to us and we didn't respond. We weren't quick enough, we weren't strong enough and we weren't athletic enough." Drew Gooden added 18 points and Sasha Pavlovic 13 for Cleveland, which outscored the Wizards 43-17 and mitrebounded them 195 in ·a third quarter as lop~ided as any you'll. ever see 10 an NBA game. Brendan Haywood led Washington with II points. Caron Butler, averaging 21.8 po10ts, had only I 0 as did Antawn Jam1son The Cavs led 52-46 at halftime before shredding Washington's defense during the third. Cleveland shot 70 percent from the floor in the period against the Wizards, who stood around like department store mannequins on defense as the status of different initiatives we have discussed regarding mcreasing athletic department revenues," Brown wrote Nov. 14. "We both agree there is millions in revenue not bemg realized. Those revenues over time will allow WVU to remain competitive for Rich's services." Brown said he had hoped new revenue streams would be in place by 2008 and that Rodriguez was "very concerned" a request for proposals hadn't been issued for revamping the athletics Web site, msnsportsnet.com. "Why is this important?" Brown wrote. "There is a projected opening at Texas A&M this year and Florida State next year. Rich's name is being mentioned heavily." From there, the relationshijl appears to deteriorate, with e-mails among Walker, Garrison and Rodriguez's financial adviser, Mike Wilcox, showmg a united effort to exclude Brown from many discussions. www.mydailysentinel.com Thursday, January 24, 2008 in the third, the last of which occurred with 49 seconds left when the hosts pulled to within 38-33 Galha Academy tacked on two free throws with eight second left in the stanza for a 40-33 edge headed into the finale. Gallta Academy shot 50 percent or better in each of the first three quarters and in overtime, but such was not the case in the fourth. And the Raiders made them pay for tt. RVHS went 6-of-9 from the f~eld in the fourth quarter - compared to only .2of-9 for the guests - as the Raiders gradually whittled away at the Blue Devil advantage. The Silver and Black held GAHS scoreless over the final 2:44 of regulatwn and finally earned their ftrst tie of the evening with 37 seconds left when MarcusFraz1erhita IS-foot JUmper to knot things at 47 apiece. · River Valley's only lead of the night came on the opening basket of overtime, as Cody McAvena hit a 15foot jumper at the 2:56 mark of the four minute overtime for a 49-47 lead. The Devils responded quickly with 4-0 run to reclaim the lead at 51-49 with 2:05 left, but a pair of Frazier free throws with I :58 again tied the contest • at 51. The Raiders never scored agam, and Rumley's heroic jumper iced the decision roughly two minutes later: The Blue Devils were 22of-41 overall from the field for 54 percent, including a 3-of-11 effort from behmd the arc for 27 percent. RVHS was 18-of-40 from the field for 45/ercent, including 4-of-1 from three-point territory for 29 percent. River Valley won the battie of the boards, posting a 23-19 advantage overall and a I 0-8 edge on the offensive glass. The hosts also committed 13 turnovers, three more than Galli a Academy's total of 10. Only five Devils reached the scoring column, but Cavs set an arena record for points in a quarter. On one possession, the Cavaliers grabbed three offensive rebounds and each time passed the ball out to the wing to tire up wideopen 3-pointers. None of them dropped, but the sequence didn't please Jordan. · Later, Larry Hughes drove down the lane as four Wizards watched him deliver a two-handed dunk. With his team leading 9563 after three, Cavs coach Mike Brown emptied his bench so his starters could get some down time. They'll need it with the runningand-~unning Phoenix Suns commg to town on Friday. The Wizards have taken pride in playing better defense of late. Well, it was almost nonexistent for much of the first half as the Cavaliers shot 74 percent from the floor m the first qu;uter and hovered around 60 rrcent until just before hal Washington, though, was able to stay within striking distance thanks to a nice Wilcox appears to work amicably with WVU on a retirement package for the coach and praises Garrison for "convincing Rich and Rita that you and Craig and your administration wtll function in a much more effective and forthright manner." Wilcox did not resl?ond to a telephone or e-matl message Wednesday. Former WVU president David C. Hardesty, who ceded operational control to Garrison Aug. I, declined to d1scuss the nature of· his relationship with Rodri~uez when asked about the • culture change." The e-mails show any harmony with the new administration was shortlived: On Sept. 6, Brown emailed Walker, complaining the athletic department had released the · terms of Rodriguez's new contract to the media. The next day, he complained the contract itself has been released.

" ... This is a major breach of the trust factor we dtscussed two weeks ago." Walker defends the staff's action, citing requests from the AP and the Charleston Daily Mail that the uniV,ersity was legally bound; to answer. As late as the last week of November, Wilcox and Walker were planding meefings. Then, on Dec. I, the No. 2-ran~ed Mountaineers fell 13-9 · to Pitt, losing a shot at a champion~hip national game. Within day~. there were signs of more trouble. On Dec. 4, Wilcox tells Walker he has had "tough discussions with Rich and Rita," who were discouraged by the loss. He urges Garrison to meet with the couple: "I think it's REALLY important in light of Eddie's (Pastilong) remarks and the deteriorating relationship ... it's not good and getting worse."

Brown had been pressing WVU to act on new moneymakt ng ventures such as allowmg advertising on the walls at Mountaineer Field and letting Rodriguez have his own prud-subscriptic;m Web site. The e-mails indicate WVU was proceeding slowly, researching legal and NCAA issues after learning of a controversy involving the Web site of Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione . But an Aug. 1 e-mail from Brown suggested a longsimmenng tension between Rodriguez, Pastilong and key assistant director, Mike Parsons. That e-mail complained that "Pastilong is talking directly to the governor," and Manchin subsequently called Rodriguez to placate him.

Babcock said Wednesday he left WVU to become senior associate director of athletics at the UQiversity of Missouri. "It was not an Ed Pastilot~;g .i~sue .. It was a job respons1b1hty 1ssue and a tremendous opportunity. At Missouri, I have the opportunity to be the number two guy and expand my role," he said. "Ed Pastilong and I parted on good tenns." Rodriguez was promised in December 2006, in agree-ing to a new coQtract with WVU, that Parsons' "interaction, tactical and strategic decisions affecting football would be reduced and Whit Babcock's role in the AD would be increased. Whit's leaving not only affects WVU, but ts a result of an unfulfilled verbal promise made to Rich," Brown The Blue and White had possesston of the ball with 25 seconds remammg and worked most of the clock away by being patient with thetr possession . Gallia Academy got the ball to Davtd Rumley on the baseline with under 10 seconds left, and the semor buried a fade-away jumper wtth JUSt over tllree seconds left to give the guests a 53-51 edge. Out of a River Valley timeout, the Raiders- threw the hall the length of the floor in an attempt to get a decent shot off, but the mbounds pass was stolen by the Devils' Quinton Nibert. Nibert was fouled immediately and went to the free throw line wtth I .7 seconds left on the clock, where he sank one of two freebies for a 54-51 edge. The Raiders agam tned to tl)row .a full-court tnbounds pass down the floor for a decent shot attempt, which they got the second time as Ian Lewis carne down with the pass and launched a 40footer at the buzzer. Lewis' desperation heave bounced off the front iron, allowing the Blue Devils to sneak away with a season sweep of this series. . Clallia A.cademy defeated River Valley 48-42 in the first matchup . back on December 27th, which helped the Devils end a five-game losing streak at the time. The win Wednesday was the Devils' first since that inter-county contest, helpmg the Blue and White end another fivegame losing skid. Afterward GAHS coach Jim Osborne was pleased with how well his troops responded after losing a nail-biter to Portsmouth (55-54) just 24 hours earlier. The venerable coach also thought that his kids showed a lot of character in this triumph. "We had a heck of a' game the night before.

It was his only basl<;et of the night. wrote. Pastilong said he was unaware of such a promise. Forgoing a six-year, $12 million offer from Alabama, Rodriguez signed a new contract with WVU on Aug. 24. It included a pay raise from $1.05 million to $1.78 million, and a one-ume increase of. $100,000 to the assistant coaches' salaries. WVU also created a retirement plan that gave Rodriguez tax benefits; promised to reduce his buyout clause from $4 million to $2 million 10 2008; built a $2 million academic center for athletes; and agreed to a nearly $6 nulhon renovation of the locker room facilities at season's end. But Rodriguez had additional demands the e-m·aJls show were being addressed throughout the fall, includ10g free game passes for high school football coaches, control of the sidelines, an all-access pass for wife Rita and seats at WVU basketball games for his football recruits. , "Also of importance is the Thursday, January 24, 2008 • Portsmouth) that we expended a lot of energy in. We were as energetic tonight late in the game a>' we were at the beginmng, and I thought that wa,s a tes-. lament to our conditioning as well as our mental focus," Osborne commented "Our concentration, for the most part tomght, was very good. For a team that hasn't won a lot of games this year, we never showed fear or acted like here we go again. We made a couple of good plays in the end that allowed us to come away wtth thts wtn. "This was just a great game between two teams that compete fiercely against one another, and we were just fortunate enough to come up with the big plays late." On the flip side, RVHS coach Gene Layton was just as pleased ·with his team's efforts - despite dropping the1r third straight decision. "We came out and did exactly what we needed to do in the second half. We fought , we battled and we left it on the floor, but we just couldn't catch a break late," Layton said. "We couldn't ask anymore of our kids than what they gave us tonight They keep giving us all they have and we just keep coming up on the short end for some reason. I hate it for them that we haven't had better results, but I really love this team because they give us all they have." Galha Academy stonned out to an 11-3 lead midway through the first period en route to a nine-point lead after eight minutes, then held its biggest lead of the night at 22-11 with 4:321eft in the first half. RVHS closed out the first half on a slim 6-4 run to pull within nine entering the break.. GAHS shot 12-M-21 from the field in the opening half for 57 percent, while the Raiders were 6of-17 .from the floor for 35 percent over that saiJle span. River Valley managed to cut its deficit down to five on two separate occasion,s Shred fromPageBl on embarrassing," Wizards coach Eddie Jordan said. ''They really brought it to us and we didn't respond. We weren't quick enough, we weren't strong enough and we weren't athletic enough." Drew Gooden added 18 points and Sasha Pavlovic 13 for Cleveland, which outscored the Wizards 43-17 and mitrebounded them 195 in ·a third quarter as lop~ided as any you'll. ever see 10 an NBA game.

"We both agree there is millions in revenue not bemg realized. Those revenues over time will allow WVU to remain competitive for Rich's services." Brown said he had hoped new revenue streams would be in place by 2008 and that Rodriguez was "very concerned" a request for proposals hadn't been issued for revamping the athletics Web site, msnsportsnet.com. "Why is this important?" Brown wrote. "There is a projected opening at Texas A&M this year and Florida State next year. Rich's name is being mentioned heavily." From there, the relationshijl appears to deteriorate, with e-mails among Walker, Garrison and Rodriguez's financial adviser, Mike Wilcox, showmg a united effort to exclude Brown from many discussions. www.mydailysentinel.com Thursday, January 24, 2008 in the third, the last of which occurred with 49 seconds left when the hosts pulled to within 38-33 Galha Academy tacked on two free throws with eight second left in the stanza for a 40-33 edge headed into the finale. Gallta Academy shot 50 percent or better in each of the first three quarters and in overtime, but such was not the case in the fourth. And the Raiders made them pay for tt. RVHS went 6-of-9 from the f~eld in the fourth quarter - compared to only .2of-9 for the guests - as the Raiders gradually whittled away at the Blue Devil advantage. The Silver and Black held GAHS scoreless over the final 2:44 of regulatwn and finally earned their ftrst tie of the evening with 37 seconds left when MarcusFraz1erhita IS-foot JUmper to knot things at 47 apiece. · River Valley's only lead of the night came on the opening basket of overtime, as Cody McAvena hit a 15foot jumper at the 2:56 mark of the four minute overtime for a 49-47 lead. The Devils responded quickly with 4-0 run to reclaim the lead at 51-49 with 2:05 left, but a pair of Frazier free throws with I :58 again tied the contest • at 51. The Raiders never scored agam, and Rumley's heroic jumper iced the decision roughly two minutes later: The Blue Devils were 22of-41 overall from the field for 54 percent, including a 3-of-11 effort from behmd the arc for 27 percent. RVHS was 18-of-40 from the field for 45/ercent, including 4-of-1 from three-point territory for 29 percent. River Valley won the battie of the boards, posting a 23-19 advantage overall and a I 0-8 edge on the offensive glass. The hosts also committed 13 turnovers, three more than Galli a Academy's total of 10. Only five Devils reached the scoring column, but Cavs set an arena record for points in a quarter. On one possession, the Cavaliers grabbed three offensive rebounds and each time passed the ball out to the wing to tire up wideopen 3-pointers. None of them dropped, but the sequence didn't please Jordan. · Later, Larry Hughes drove down the lane as four Wizards watched him deliver a two-handed dunk. With his team leading 9563 after three, Cavs coach Mike Brown emptied his bench so his starters could get some down time. They'll need it with the runningand-~unning Phoenix Suns commg to town on Friday. The Wizards have taken pride in playing better defense of late. Well, it was almost nonexistent for much of the first half as the Cavaliers shot 74 percent from the floor m the first qu;uter and hovered around 60 rrcent until just before hal Washington, though, was able to stay within striking distance thanks to a nice Wilcox appears to work amicably with WVU on a retirement package for the coach and praises Garrison for "convincing Rich and Rita that you and Craig and your administration wtll function in a much more effective and forthright manner." Wilcox did not resl?ond to a telephone or e-matl message Wednesday. Former WVU president David C. Hardesty, who ceded operational control to Garrison Aug. I, declined to d1scuss the nature of· his relationship with Rodri~uez when asked about the • culture change." The e-mails show any harmony with the new administration was shortlived: On Sept. 6, Brown emailed Walker, complaining the athletic department had released the · terms of Rodriguez's new contract to the media. The next day, he complained the contract itself has been released. "Sure at some point tn time through information requests the media can get a . l four of those players posted double-digit performances. Nibert and Kyle Mttchell led the vtctors with 12 potnts aptece, followed by Rumley ·and Chris McCoy with II each: Zach Brown also contnbuted eight to the wtnning cause, rounding things out. River Valley had six players reach the scoring column, paced by Frazier and Lewis with 13 points apiece. Ryan Henry was next with 11 markers, while McAvena followed with eight. Clayton Curnutte chtpped tn five for the Raiders and Zak ·Dee! rounded things out with one . ; point. Gallia 'Academy claimed an evening sweep with a 4228 vtctory in the junil'lr varstty tilt. · Nick Mit~ell paced the Devils with 12 points, while Corey Eberhard and Chuck Calvert each contribuled another 11 markers for the winners. Harvy Smathers led River Valley with six points in the setback. Galli a Academy returns to action Friday when it travels to The Plains to take:on Athens in a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League contest. The Raiders return to the hardwood Saturday when they host Meigs ip a non-conference matchup. Both JV games will tip:Off at 6 p.ni. · \!tribune - Sentinel - !\"'·.....

" ... This is a major breach of the trust factor we dtscussed two weeks ago." Walker defends the staff's action, citing requests from the AP and the Charleston Daily Mail that the uniV,ersity was legally bound; to answer. As late as the last week of November, Wilcox and Walker were planding meefings. Then, on Dec. I, the No. 2-ran~ed Mountaineers fell 13-9 · to Pitt, losing a shot at a champion~hip national game. Within day~. there were signs of more trouble. On Dec. 4, Wilcox tells Walker he has had "tough discussions with Rich and Rita," who were discouraged by the loss. He urges Garrison to meet with the couple: "I think it's REALLY important in light of Eddie's (Pastilong) remarks and the deteriorating relationship ... it's not good and getting worse."

But beginning with an 11I spurt after halftime, the Cavaliers quickly seized control and turned the game into a Iaugher. "It was a maJor league butt whipping,' Wizards guard Antonio Daniels said. "We ought to be completely embarrassed." W1zards rookie guard Nick Young enjoyed one of the top moments of his brief and pro career Washin&ton's best highlight of the mght - when he ~ot free down the lane and dunked hard over James, who is usually the one posterizing players with slams. Ilgauskas (15) and James ( 13) combined for 28 points on 11-of-12 shooting as the Cavahers opened a 34!26 lead after one. Notes: Pavlovic sprained his left foot in the third quarter and d1d not return. He _ will undergo an MRI on Thursday....

Sound odd? It's not. In making the New England Patriots work hard for a 38-35 win on Dec. 29 that capped a perfect regular season, the Giants proved to themselves that they cguld compete with anybody. That should prove extremely valuable a week from Sunday, when New York ( 13-6) gets another crack at the PatriQts (18-0) in the NFL title game in Glendale, Ariz. "We had played in some tough games and had some bad weather conditions the couple weeks before, and we weren't playing our best football, and all of a sudden that week we had a great mind-set," Eli Manning said. "We were going in to try to beat an undefeated team and we played good football. We gave ourselves a shot to win; we fell short, but it go_t our confidence going." · In the ensuing three weeks on the road, the Giants beat the Buccaneers 24-14, knocked off the Cowboys in Dallas 21-17, and overcame Brett Favre and frigid temperatures in Green )3ay to beat the Packers 23-20 in overtime. "It got us playing good football, it got us back in a rhythm and from then on we have been on a hot streak," Manning added. "We have been playing great football and finding ways to win." What made the performance in the loss to the Patriots so 'memorable: New York had nothing at stake in the game at Giants Stadium. Win or lose, the Giants were locked into a wild-card playoff game at Tampa. There was nothing to gain and everything to lose, especially if players got hurt. That's exactly what happened to three staners: linebacker Kawika Mitchell (knee), cornerback Sam Madison (stomach) and center Shaun O'Hara (knee). . Mitchell saw ' limited action the following week. 0' Hara missed the Buccaneers game and Madison didn't play again until last weekend.
