I know some of you guys are going to hate me for doing this, but allow me to apologize in advance ... I was bored and decided to compile the stats on our visits to Qualcomm over the past 7 years, which is how long it's been since we won a game there. 

I mean, I want us to win this game SO BADLY, and turn this miserable streak of play at their house around.  But friends, this history ... it is just not pretty.

Read on past the jump, if you don't mind pondering the full brunt of the depressing history we need to turn the tide on here on Sunday.  If you do mind, DO NOT READ ON!!!
