This was easily one of the most memorable weeks I’ve had in all my years covering Valparaiso University. The travel alone made for a great story. I covered games in Valparaiso on Monday, East Lansing on Tuesday, Bloomington (Ill.) on Thursday, West Lafayette on Friday and Dayton on Saturday. Five games in four states in six days. I’d say I rested on the seventh day, but instead, I tried to recap it all in the latest edition of The Monday Morning Bell. Enjoy! - PO
