Trying to watch our offense a little better. Rogers did kick out to Abidde, but hesitated before making the pass.Leave a comment:

Glad Liberty won - I'll be watching and rooting for them throughout the season. They have a lot of game for an undersized team.Leave a comment:

No, more like laughing gas. Had a dental procedure Friday, and I’m on antibiotics, so unfortunately, no.

I know this is off-topic, but I’m watching the Cucks, waiting for the Shox and wondering if the Cucks watch their wives. I bet they do!
I was disappointed by the loss, but hoping we can knock off the Billikens and that the team learns something from yesterdays game (besides that we need a true PG).
Go Shox!
