This may be a stretch guess but I'm thinking you weren't a math major right? Probably never did math long hand, only used a calculator?
Current record: 3-1
Your conference record: 4-4
Okay, let's add them up. On the right had side of the dash you have a 4 and a 1, that would be, come on, you can do it, 5! Atta boy...
On the left hand side of the dash you have a 3 and a 4, and that would add up to, yes, you had it right, a 7!!
Problem is, 7 & 5 adds up to what? 12, right? Maybe get that calculator out to check the math, but the Bison only play 11 games.
