Express head to Florence

[Standard Deviation]

Well done Reading. Now the responsibility lies on you to keep the title in the north. The Rebel horde cannot intervene on YANKEE triumph.

To quote General George Meade and General Charles Griffin as they prepared for battle at Chancellorsville;

Meade: "Will your men defend their ground against this scurge"?

Griffin: "We will defend it against HELL"!

The honor of the North is upon your shoulders. Defend our honor!

Sports always operate on certain degree of circumstances that shape the course of a season or change it dramatically.

Last season, the Legends benefited from late season signings (Mason, Polk and Cipra) and rode it to the championship.

This season, Mason is hurt, Polk is a Predator and Cipra is in Erie.

The Express earned their championship and I make no excuses for losing. However, I wouldn't be much of a Legends fan if I didn't think the result would be different if all our horses were there.

That being said, I'm extremely proud of our guys for going blow to blow with the Northern Conference Champs.

Congrats again to the Express and to you Gene! We'll have a ball in Florence.

As I posted somewhere else, Canton had speed size and early was all but dominating. Reading made good adjustments. But I was very impressed by Canton. Good Job to all their players.

Congrats to the Express on what sounded like a hard fought win! Good luck in Florence next week. Here's to a parade in Reading!! I wish we could have been there to root them on, but the wife got Spamalot tickets for her birthday and she would've beat the crap outta me had I ditched her for the game. Although it would have been worth it.

Now that I recovered from the bus trip home (got in around 6:30 am) I like to congrat to all the reading fans who came up to me to say hi and not rub in the victory. I knew this game would be another clasic, also like to congrats to Bernie and his team there was a lot of fun trash talking between the players and coaches but after the game it was all good just like it should be. I'll try to have my pics us sometime Monday evening. Looking forward to the matchups again next year. Once again good luck in the campionship game

Great meeting ya in person picman. As you said, very good game. It was a shootout till the end. It was a nailbiter till the last 5 minutes or so. Good Luck next season and we will do what we can to keep the trophy in the north....

I think we should form a support group for loco, we'll call ourselves the Fraternal Order Of Loco Supporters (or F.O.O.L.S)
