Game over. Season over. Don't really have anything to say right now. Coulda won. Shoulda won. Didn't win. Can't expect to win, though, with 5 turnovers.
We'll talk all about it tomorrow. I'm going to a Mardi Gras party to drink all my sorrows away. This one was an emotional roller coaster.
Reminder: no cursing. I'm banning people like crazy.
Ugh.
