WOOHEE!  Didn't get to watch the game as I was at a birthday party and I only heard the final bit on the radio.  At best, I was hoping for a respectable score with the Bombers losing by 10-12 points.  Never would I have expected a victory in a stadium the Bombers have not won in since the War of 1812 and without several players in our secondary and a backup QB who typically played like a backup in the past (Nicholls proved that idea wrong today).  I will have to watch the replay for sure now.

This will open the door to the playoffs...only a smidge, but it went from an improbability this past week to a possibility after the victory.  Hopefully this is the start of a positive trend for the offense and defense though I don't want to get too excited as I have been burned before by false positives from this team in the recent past.  Right now, I will just enjoy the victory.  Good job Nichols!
