useless stats after a loss

It’s like going to a baseball game and watching the home teams last at bat. The home team is down by 3 and the bases are loaded. The batter strikes the ball and it moves with great velocity seemingly headed over the fence. Then at the last possible moment the outfielder reaches up and grabs the ball just before it goes over the fence. We call that a long out!

Pride, I have video and pictures of the game; mostly first half. Do you have an FTP I could upload them too so you can make it available to everyone?

Lots to take away from this game, despite the loss. Some players are clearly getting better, it was exciting to see the progress.

Glad Line got a td. Heard Mojicas name called several times in the first half. Looks like Sanders will go over 1000 this year. Does Shawnbrey have over 300 now? Maybe he will get to 1000!

Pride,

Your Postgame Notes failed to include where BLM's performance ranks on the game and All-Time INTs list.
