Fort Win

And, yes, I know: Fort Wayne teenager Addison Agen didn't win "The Voice."

But she did finish second, which is probably better in the long haul, because everything the Blob has been told by people who know this business suggests she'll have far more autonomy in her career decisions moving forward than she would have if she'd won. So we'll call this a "W", anyway.

And you know what that means?

That means this has been one heck of a week for the Fort.

A 16-year-old Fort Wayne kid captivated America on national TV.

IPFW's men's basketball team shocked Indiana for the second year in a row, this time in Assembly Hall, this time in a 20-point blowout.

And over on the southwest side of town, the University of Saint Francis Cougars made it back-to-back NAIA national titles in football.

And they said all we had here was a zoo, some top-drawer minor-league sports and that street-with-three-names thing.

Pffft.
