Hey guys, take the win and be proud of your performance. Sometimes bad calls change game outcomes -- it happens in football and elsewhere, too -- and we'd all rather that not happen*, but when it does, don't let it belittle your accomplishments.

A win's a win, and you won that blue banner. And I was glad to see you do it. 639 has always been a class act and a great, motivated, dedicated team. You're also fun to hang around with in the pits!



*I've already spoken my piece about the officiating on the official FIRST week five survey, so I'll not do so here.
