This is the start of 13 games in the next 25 days for the Broncos who have a hellish month of February in front of them. Of the 13 games, eight are at home and five are on the road.

If the Bronco's want any chance at the playoffs they will have to start by winning tonight. It's a busy Wednesday and hopefully they can also get some help from other teams tonight as well. If they can win tonight, the next game against P.A will be HUGE.
Keep up the good work Keener.

It's all about the jerseys. Our winning percentage in black has to be around .700 while we have like what? 6 wins this year while wearing whie.
Hmm,
The play on the road has improved in the black though.
Yeah, so they should try and wear black jerseys all the time. What the heck, get the crowd to wear all black too.
Thats why we need '89 mem-cup blue and green as thirds!
Jon,
Just curious, who's lighter was that?
