Wow. Hell of a comeback win.

I hate so much about this team, but I LOVE its never-say-die attitude.

Dave Aranda's teams ... do ... not ... quit.

We have looked worse in our last two wins than we did in our two losses.

This.

The final score says nothing about what is structurally wrong with the program, and the steps needed to fix it.

He knows Hawkins better than we do. He may have needed a little time to take a breath before that type of kick.

If the Polwdge experiment does not end the Aranda era after this season and Aranda escapes again with his job, he needs to fire Powledge. I suspect he knows this if I do.

It's a great win for sure. But this is not one of those scenarios I'd be really comfortable with if I were a professional pumper.
