Maston out there to start. Interesting.
He has to be. He's offense (and maybe offensive)

Welp Manu, you owe us at least 8 points this OT. Only he and TJ should be given the green light.

That's why I said we'd lose tonight in the other thread. Whistles were gonna blow against us all night. We've played a heckuva game to almost negate them.

Good defense
rudylaw
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Two man game works again. Cheat them this time and have Manu curl around for a three.
OsoCirujano
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Amazing we are pushing 50 minutes of game time and not a single person has fouled out.
