I have no seasons left right now so I can't send any challenges, but I can accept them. I'm hoping my Whitman team in Naismith makes a good run in the tourney so I can get a 5-season pack for free.

Opening the Yarnell tonight against Longwood.  Their starting 5 may be the best I've ever seen at D2.  Unreal on both ends of the floor.  I really do think Longwood would have a winning record as a D1 team and would stand a chance of making the D1 NT.

this is just to make us complacent right before Coombs puts up 30 and you beat us by 10, right ?

Seriously, though....... thanks........
