  • The Pax was a bit confused, they were thrown a last minute audible with the Q as Stakeout stepped in last minute for Dugger.  This was Stakeouts first Q in Houston.
  • There was lots of mumble chatter as the exercise reps went beyond the expected number, #DidQLooseCount?
  • Merkins in all its glorious variations were the talk of the day; if anyone is wondering 179+ were knocked out.  Arms were swollen with blood when all was said and done. #LookAtThoseGuns.
  • Don’t forget, “Its Suppose to Hurt”
