Re: Things that don't suck

I'm finally about to head to a high school tournament in Missouri. Three prior attempts have failed, this one should work out OK.

Re: 2011 Nationals bids thread

Max, Rock Bridge is interested in looking into the coach bus possiblility. Do you have any idea on costs? I tried to get quotes and costs for this were shockingly expensive, especially if we can't fill a 56-person bus (which we won't be able to do). I doubt this will be worth it. Daggumit. Meh, I n...

Re: Things that don't suck

Ahh, yes, that is going on. Sad to say, I haven't followed that as much. Ehh, it's like someone only tuning in to watch the Red Sox only if they're playing the Yankees.

If the check is in the mail by March 1, I'll grant the discount.

Also, Parkway West is in, putting the field up to 39 teams.
