E'Lane,
Sorry about the game last night - it truly was a game where you hated to see either team lose. The 4th quarter was one of the most entertaining 15 minutes of football I've seen for a while and your Titans have nothing to be ashamed of. I must admit that I was stretching right along with your receiver on that last play! <g>
