2025/03/24

Recorded March 23, 2025 Three games. Three wins. And at the end of it all, an earned playoff berth. Earned by a team playing for one another. A team (and their fans) who endured a ton of disrespect. Disrespect that has been heaped on by know-nothing fans and so-called journalists with an agenda. We've been collecting receipts.... It's payback time. After the recaps I take it upon myself to call out the most guilty. Vindication feels damn good. Hope you enjoy, fellow fans. Thanks for indulging

Well you should think again because we won't be here.... But we will be back the week of Feb. 23rd. Please join us...until then try to occupy yourselves! I will
