Thanks for covering the games last night. Two action packed games! Coach Carlson’s last regular season home game is actually Feb 2nd at 6pm.

Sorry, that’s what we had thought and then someone there told us otherwise, but I should have checked the calendar. Will update to “one of his last home games.”
