Storylines: The buzz around Commerce is bigger that is has been in years leading up to this game. This is a big one, and they don’t come around often, but with the way the program is going, this could be a more frequent thing. I just have this to say, ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK, and to the crowd get LOUD and STAY loud. This is a big deal. An NCAA event is happening in Commerce. Rumor has it all of the tickets have been sold out and Colorado-Mesa is bringing a pretty big posse with them. This is big. A playoff win would be so huge heading into the future for our program, but I am thinking bigger picture for this year, I am thinking this is where a serious run starts, and it starts tomorrow.
