Investigations are underway to determine whether Laramie's stadium and team offices have actually been sitting on a cursed Indian Burial Ground all this time. That would sure explain a lot. There clearly aren't any rational explanations for the Wednesday Night Horror Show, particularly the so-called ESPN Classic of Game 3. I had better not see any "highlights" of that atrocity televised anywhere...
So, LAR is now on the brink of elimination, needing to win 3 in a row just to earn a date with red-hot SFE. So much for home field advantage. Oh yeah, I'm filled with hope at this point.
