Moleskin: Great showing by the pax at the Pit today. 4 pax took on the spirit of a mid-major underdog in March. To pull off an upset, you gotta shoot 3s. A lot of them. And if you get hot, anything can happen. That was the goal and the pax delivered. But it’s not always your day. T claps to the pax at the Vet for taking it up a notch. Instant classic from the underdogs. Everyone was rooting for us (probably).
note – YHC checked his math over and over, but still didn’t get the pull up count right to finish at 200. Not sure how that happened. Maybe I should take a nap.
