By Adam Roberts – 10/23/2020 We’re approximately eight months into the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, and over the course of those eight months, sports leagues have quickly learned to adapt to the situation.

By Adam Roberts – 10/23/2020 A familiar name is returning to the Milwaukee Bucks organization as an assistant coach.

By Adam Roberts – 10/22/2020 When you’re learning the art of broadcasting, one of the first rules you’re taught is to, to the maximum extent possible, make sure you learn proper pronunciation, last names in particular.

By Adam Roberts – 10/22/2020 My condolences to anyone who has been digging themselves out of the heavy, wet snow part of Wisconsin and Minnesota got yesterday.

By Adam Roberts – 10/21/2020 This week, Coulee Region Football visits Caledonia, Minnesota for the first time, and we couldn’t have picked a better game to visit for.

By Adam Roberts – 10/20/2020 Today, for many, is the first time we’ve been able to look skyward and see snowflakes falling since perhaps pre-pandemic times.

By Adam Roberts – 10/20/2020 Viterbo volleyball was ready to go back on September 26th against Mayville State, but COVID-19 concerns forced their home opener against the Comets to be pushed back.
