Win or Go Home

Posted on October 19, 2006 by Jason

Game 7. It’s do or die. Win or go home. I can’t believe it’s Thursday and I haven’t even thought about UT / Bama. But who cares. The Cards are my first love and I’m consumed. Scott Rolen, you’re hitting … Continue reading →

Football Friday Vol. 5

Posted on October 13, 2006 by Jason
