However, because Carroll College clobbered Rocky Mountain College 24-0 in Helena at almost the same time last Saturday, the Yotes remained alone atop the Frontier standings despite their shocking loss in Dillon. An...

At the time, it seemed like a clever idea. I was from Minnesota, my former husband was from Wisconsin, our friend, Becky, was from Iowa, and her husband, John, was from Illinois.
