Win at Pax River Strangely Unsatisfying

I guess it's an indication of just how far we've come as a team that yesterday's 51-0 beatdown was a bit of a letdown.

Alabama Sam had a typical monster game and even though I dotted one down myself (meaning that Skittles and his ridiculous orange boots have been outscored by me this season), our pack didn't display the type of dominance we need to show the week before the first round of MARFU.
