He was so close to coming down, I was screaming "stay up, keep running!"

I had to let out a few war hoops myself everyone was playing cards and I was watching the game they didn't know what happened they just looked at me.

I think my wife thought I was having a seizure or something when he broke that run. I just went nuts.

You should have seen the way the Steeler Club I watch the games with went crazy! I think you could have heard it all over Memphis! :sofunny:

And big "ups" to Hines and Heath for those epic blocks that cleared the way for Mendy!

:high5:
