3 Questions: Revs II (Home)

A shortened season raises the stakes for everything. The single point we earned from the last twoContinue reading “3 Questions: Revs II (Home)”
Data Dump: Chattanooga (Away)

3 Questions (South Georgia Tormenta FC Away)
1) How badly does the team need to win this game? At this point in the season, I’m having stress dreams about the team giving up goals after the 80th minute and Jay’s substitution patterns. I’d be more concerned, but I’m well aware that I’m obsessed with this team and our quest to make theContinue reading “3 Questions (South Georgia Tormenta FC Away)”
