That’s a quality win under pressure. Into the postseason for the 8th straight year. Given all of the injuries during the regular season- especially only having Taylor Twellman for parts of two matches- I declare that from this point on, the club is playing with the proverbial “house money.” ‘mon the Revs!

England changed their clocks overnight, a full week before it happens here in America. That’s why the times for today’s matches in England appear to be a bit out of whack.

I found out some crazy news last weekend, I spent the past week on a vision quest high up in the mountains to try to figure out what this all meant. I’m still contemplating what it all means. That’s right, for the first time ever in my life I was wrong. I know, you probably [...]
