Wake might squeak this game out against Rutgers. They started the second half absolutely asleep defensively. I'm pretty sure Rutgers scored on their first 8 or so possessions, quickly erasing a 5-point deficit. By the time Wake woke, Rutgers had the lead and a lot of confidence. Wake has battled bac...

Re: The Walking Dead - Season 6 (Spoilers Inside)
I finally caught up the other night. So far, Season 6 has been pretty strong, I think.
