I am going to ask that a vote be taken among the 15 participants to change the prize structure to a $50,000 first prize. I think this has a good chance of happening.

Reminds me of a guy a used to play with. He would come to the auction every year with no computer, no list, no papers or pens--nothing. Just kept everything memorized in his head. Truly amazing.

Seems to me Maroon and White has baseball scoreboard on Gekko. 6th oa to your also ran squad. I could care less if you play ultimate, but it's clear to all of us which one of you two has the skills and ain't scared. Now say something cute to validate your sorry self before you start cutting again.
