Yes that rhymes, yes it was intentional...I guess my first day of a real snow storm in southwest Colorado did that to me (and for the record, I love how in CO it can be snowing like crazy and then 2 hours later be sunny and dry!)
So the Tigers fell to third after suffering a split this weekend, I personally didn't think they would fall past 2nd but whatever, they played well after the loss and showed they are growing up and getting better. It's road trip city coming up until Thanksgiving, INCH says that "5 consecutive road games loom", well yes Mankato is a good distance and Anchorage is a REALLY good distance, but Air Force is a 20 minute drive (or 1.5hrs between 3:30 and 6 on Fridays) so that doesn't really count. Although I'm planning on going so it's my first away game since CC has been at the World Arena (my first Tiger games were at Clune). Not much else today, polls below!
