GA Russell Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) As I'm sure you have noticed, I have departed from tradition this summer, and waited a few days to post the results. This is because the writers often wait a couple of days to post their analyses of not only the games but also the teams. If you would prefer that I return to the prior custom of posting the scores promptly and only having a few links per game, let me know, and I will do that. There has been some big news the past few days, so I want to deal with those items tonight, and will take care of the games of the past ten days within the next 48 hours.
