On Wednesday's Rush, Tony C kicks things off by explaining why there was no show on Tuesday ... and why he feels like a bonehead for the whole thing.

Tony discusses Curt Schilling, Barry Bonds, and Roger Clemens again being shut out of the Baseball Hall of Fame, and makes a case for them all to be in.

Since there was no show Tuesday, Tony recaps the fantastic Texas Tech-West Virginia game from Monday night, and from that game, he has a message to all young basketball coaches out there ... BE PREPARED.
