we'll do our best to oblige

certainly be willing to give Colorado a second thrashing this year…though sadly without the pleasure of tossing Casey’s dirty tail around this time.

Aside from SJ – SKC, the October 1st fixtures could very well all go your way. October 2nd, probably not so much, but JPA may pull some magic in your favor against MacMath. Best of luck, see you all in the playoffs.
