Hmm. Couldn’t have gone well. Zero news, and it’s a slow news cycle…

They also devote no resources to covering or promoting the soccer team, so I'm not shocked that it's radio silence

I think we're going to the Sunday game.

Interesting, I know it’s just an exhibition, but it would be nice to get more details win or lose.

Some post results, some don’t.
