As always Jimmy, your dedication to the chatroom and forum are appreciated.

Fire Dogs 7-1 all-time at home against the Bayou Beast, and 3-3 on the road. Go figure, but remember, we ain't all that bad of a team either.

Hell, we are 7-0 all-time against Steel Valley, and Josh is pulling his hair out about that one... and the schedule Gods have not made it easy on him, as 6 of these 7 games have been played in Biloxi.
