Three days of rest in exchange for putting everything on the line for 40 minutes.
Coach Tim O'Shea said he has been pleased by the effort from his depleted bench despite its recent offensive struggles.
Johnny Cash and Paul McCartney started the trend, and Bob Dylan followed in stride. Now Art Garfunkel is joining the club of legendary musicians who have released an album to reflect their pasts.

No, your headphones aren't broken. For indiscernible reasons, the rough opener on Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's second album, Some Loud Thunder, has been produced with distortion so abrasive that it is hard to bear.
He is a former Ohio University associate provost, chief information officer and Silicon Valley retiree. Bill Sams is a man who has worn many cloaks.
The designers on the third floor of Grover Center are more at home using screwdrivers and drafting programs than they are choosing the perfect wallpaper or decorating picture frames.

I've been watching the controversy over the Halloween fence with bemused interest but really can't let the latest Councilwoman suggests: Either fence Halloween or kill it go by without a comment (or two).
Sonny Troutman had a first half to forget yesterday when he struggled to get anything going, as Ohio stumbled against Ball State.
I read with great interest the article in the Post today about athletic cutbacks'lacrosse, swimming and track; everyone's heard of them. My interest in the story intersects with my wonderfully useful history major status; particularly British history, and something Oliver Cromwell said: Weeds and nettles G? have thriven under your shadow
While more than half the possible annual savings from the elimination last week of four sports comes from scholarship dollars, the aid allotted to three of the cut teams is among the lowest amounts offered for all Ohio sports.
I was just made aware that OU has cut the men's outdoor/indoor track and field program. I am in absolute shock. I have heard of this happening at other smaller schools, but I would have never guessed it would or could happen at my alma mater. Ever since I graduated, I have tried to come back every year and take in a track meet. Because of the track team, I didn't feel a need to be a part of the crowd or a sorority or any sort of group to make myself feel a part of. Track and field gave me a real sense of self-worth. I was fine being a strong individual. It instilled in me real confidence where there was none, and over the years it has grown. I was lucky to be an integral part of a MAC Championship team and every time I look at my ring, to this day, I feel love for the coaches, the team and OU. Other kids deserve to get a chance at what I had. Track and field is needed at OU ... both the women's and the men's.

Dave Moyer knew he needed to step up in the absence of two of the Bobcats' top players. With two wrist-shot goals, Moyer did just that, leading Ohio to a 3-2 victory over Mercyhurst Saturday.
Tomorrow's meet against Ball State was already going to be a big test for the Bobcats, but after Wednesday's developments it got a lot tougher.
A lot can happen in seven seconds. Just ask Ohio's Jacob Ison.
