The excitement of March Madness has come and gone, we're still a couple weeks away from the NFL Draft and months away from a meaningful baseball game. This is what most sports nuts would consider a down period. Fear not: Daily Sports editors Scott Bell and Daniel Bromwich vow to do their best to get you excited about recent and upcoming events the best way they know how - by arguing incessantly that they're more right than the other about various sports topics.

Topic No. 1:
West Virginia didn't wait long to replace former coach John Beilein. The Mountaineers named proven-winner-yet-baggage-ridden Bob Huggins as their new head coach last week. Is Huggins's decision to bolt Manhattan, Kan. for Morgantown just one year after taking the reigns at Kansas State kosher, or did the Wildcat faithful back in Kansas deserve better?

Daniel Bromwich: Bob Huggins is a good basketball coach, and after John Beilein left Morgantown for Michigan, West Virginia needed a good basketball coach. But for Huggins to leave Kansas State after just one season is unacceptable.

Whether directly stated or not, he made a promise to Kansas State, to everyone from the administration to the fans. And he made it just one year ago, when Kansas State took a huge risk in hiring him after his embarrassing drunk encounter with the police. Even breaking this promise, while not the most admirable thing to do, would be acceptable under most circumstances.

But Huggins refused the West Virginia job when it was offered in 2002. If this hadn't happened, he could play his departure off as "I just want to go home." Now, he's telling everyone at Kansas State "All you were was a stepping stone."

Scott Bell: First off, I should preface this with the fact that I'm not a fan of 'ole Huggy Bear - at all. The widespread belief that his programs are dirty is almost undoubtedly not a coincidence, and he just seems like a sketchy guy altogether.

But this is a business, not a make-the-most friends competition. Huggins has to make a living, and if he sees this job as an upgrade, there's nothing wrong with taking it. If I was offered a job that paid more than $2 an hour, I'm pretty sure I'd forget what the Daily was by lunchtime. I'm still the farthest thing from a Huggins fan, but not because of this.

Topic No. 2: Those who huddled around the television Sunday saw a familiar site - Tiger Woods in contention for another major title. But this result was different - 31-year-old journeyman Zach Johnson ended up besting arguably the best athlete of our generation. So what was it, a Tiger choke job or a valiant finish by Johnson?

SB: Everyone is talking about Tiger choking down the stretch at the Masters, and I don't really see it. Sure, he's put together ridiculous stretches of golf to close out tournaments before, but it's unfair to expect perfection every single tournament. He still closed the gap on the back nine after his big eagle, and had an insane par save after going in the water on No. 15.

Typically people back down to that pressure. Johnson didn't this time. End of story. Jordan missed jumpers, Ruth struck out, Happy Gilmore got hit by cars on the fairway. It happens.

DB: No, Tiger didn't choke. But he certainly didn't play like the Tiger we've all come to know and love. This would all be different if he hadn't led and just couldn't catch Johnson. But Tiger birdied his second hole of the day and at that point, he led the field. He finished the day where he started it - back at 3-over-par. In a field without a single player finishing under par, 3-over-par is good. But it's not great. And that's what we expect from Tiger - greatness. Johnson played better than he has ever played in a tournament before. Too bad Tiger didn't play like Tiger.

Topic No. 3: The NFL Draft is fewer than three weeks away. Oakland is on the clock with the first pick, and the Raiders have a couple directions they could go with this pick. What should Al Davis do?

DB: This is an easy one. You've got to take former Louisiana State quarterback JaMarcus Russell with this pick. This argument doesn't even fall into the "need vs. best overall player" category. Both former Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson and Russell appear to have nearly unlimited potential, both are incredible raw athletes. Russell might rate just an inkling lower than Johnson on the "wow" scale. But when you are deciding between two players this good, and you simply don't have a player on your roster that plays quarterback, you've got to take Russell. It's not like we're deciding between Jerry Rice and Trent Dilfer. It's like Jerry Rice vs. Peyton Manning, but you've already got Art Monk. And your current quarterback might as well be some random guy named Andrew Walter.
