Thanks. This win was big for the team in an unbelievable number of ways, really.
Obviously, first off it puts me in position to lock up home court through the playoffs, which is huge because I DO NOT wanna have to play in Cannibal Hall for the conference title.
It also is awesome because it was a TV and rivalry game, and this week's merchandise sales were already the best I've gotten all season so I can't wait to see next week's.
Then there's the fact that I consider Donner Pass an actual rival, since he and I have been at the top of the conference for 3 seasons straight, and that game ties our overall series at 5 games each, meaning that the conference championship game will be the tiebreaker (and possibly final meeting)
And lastly, if you count cup games, that was my team's 25th win of the season, which is a new record for this team. If I win out through the playoffs it'll be 31, which would be absolutely incredible.
So yeah, that game gives me even more to be excited about than meets the eye. He's had a good team ever since I got here, and it's always fun to match up with him.
