You say that every year, but we are hopeful to see you out there again this year. 

Stay safe out there and don't be too down on your team's loss today.   ;D

It's always a good game. UA just hasn't been able to square away the QB spot.  Maybe I'll stop crying today.  :'(

I'll know more by Monday.  Waiting for the last minute checks to come in, but it's looking like it will be.

Pretty stoked about it.  First time ever we have filled up by the end of the Early Bird.  Last year at this time we only had 10 registrations.

Anyone want to do a bottle bet. It's real easy, bring a bottle and the highest placing team overall goes home with all the bottles. Or if you are like us if you win we do a lot of drinking Saturday night after awards.
