it"s great to see this type of story on your blog. at least we can relive old games even if we can't see new games.
Thank you, I'm glad you like the new feature added to the blog. I thought of the idea about a week ago and thought it would be a nice feature & addition to the blog. With the Vipers season/playoffs over, I need to continue to post Vipers/Alumni news to keep fans coming back.
