I'm just proud we could provide them with all the early confidence they would require to achieve this feat.

 

[GatoLouco]

If you think about it, we probably over achieved against them.

 

[Frabjous_rivals]

It’s cool to Monitor their success....

Yeah but there is no ironclad agreement that they would win a rematch next year....

You bring up a good point, Frabjous.

Would you and the rest of the board reschedule them for next year?

I think I would. It would be a great talking and motivating benchmark to coach with in the off-season.

Did you miss the pun?

We are better off scheduling Chicago State for 12 games straight. They know two things: losing or cancelling.

Obviously, I missed something.

Wasn't the the first time. Won't be the last.

The USS Merrimack was converted to the ironclad CSS Virginia for the US Civil War and fought in the Battle of Hampton Roads. The pun was very subtle and I missed it until Fitzphile pointed it out.
