1:03:07Recorded March 23, 2025 Three games. Three wins. And at the end of it all, an earned playoff berth. Earned by a team playing for one another. A team (and their fans) who endured a ton of disrespect. Disrespect that has been heaped on by know-nothing fans and so-called journalists with an agenda. We've been collecting receipts.... It's payback time.…
