Week 8 is here, wow did that go fast, only 2 weeks remain in the regular season….

 

The PToThePowerOf2 hate train continues to board more passengers as the weeks move along as another 9-1 week posting went on the board last week, thus raising the season total higher than the crime rate in Beltzhoover….. Thru 70 games we have totaled up 58 victories and only suffered 12 defeats…..a staggering 82% victory rate….

 

PToThePowerOf2’s inbox continues to fill up with various emails from supporters and the haters…The love for the supporters will always be recognized, including our new followers from the Peters Township area….as for the haters, that train is full of that shitty powder blue….sold out since day 1….stay classy….or not, because you don’t know what that is….as we stated last week, get a pencil assclown and take seat in PToThePowerOf2’s classroom……

 

This is the week is full of unbelievable and great matchups…PToThePowerOf2 is here to get you up-to-speed…..as always, Let’s Get To Work….

Devils QB Eddie Jenkins has 13 touchdowns and 1,059 yards total this season….a game where no one is looking, all eyes in the district rest on a contest in Gibsonia….last season the Wolverines crushed Mt. Lebanon to the tune of 47-0….does the hangover of last week haunt the Wolverines…..in the 1st half….but they clean it up in the 2^nd half….
