Shout out the Johnny T-shirt, Johnny T-shirt.com. Coach Forbes, the weekend was an interesting one. It's an interesting series anyway when you travel and do the three locations.

But then for yesterday, the weather got progressively worse on the weekend.

0:29.9

And yesterday it just sort of washed y'all out.

0:32.2

What was the thinking there at the end?
