It is NEVER "meh" beating the Mildscats!

The T-Cup is shaping-up to be a good one (much better than the last two, both won by the road team), and both schools should win their next games . . . And if the Devils win, retain the Cup, it'll be, "meh", we were supposed to do that. IF Arizona pulls the upset, it'll completely change their narrative from last season. Going to be a fun watch!

The defending conference Champions at home against a dumpster fire team (from last season), that was picked to finish 2nd to last, should win, period.
