Good turnout today, eventually. Maybe too good, of which I'm about to speak...

Riata Rules 101--3 wins in a row is a dynasty. If you win your dynasty match, that means 2 new teams come in. If you lose it, you're out and only 1 new team comes in.

Can you please! win your dynasties??? Failure to do so created an administrative nightmare out there. Because it means there was very little ability to mix up teams--drys, which were often new players, just have to come in, and are introduced to each other over and over again:

They do not know enough to know what's coming : (

If I didn't know how competitive Pandas are, I'd almost say not winning dynasties was something of a conspiracy. Kept the new people all together, with political sit outs. Sorry to say this out loud, but such groupings lead to wins maybe once a season. So I'm open to suggestions...

On new people, I believe New Alex blocked Dub once today. Now you just have to learn how to make the good plays come together, and outnumber the bad ones.

Old dogs learning new tricks. Kent, and Monkey. Monkey especially is like a different player--he's serving, he's digging:

Scully got his groove back. Let the game flow through you...

New York and his hands, forgettaboutit:

Return of Wescott, the original little big man. Little rusty, but old(!) warriors are always welcome.

On to good play by the usual suspects. Dub plays tall no touch net play great.

Walrus stole his fire on the Jefferson moments today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYV5f0Aqo4w&t=74s

And why not? Because there's a funny thing about mercy. It's yours to give, or not. Sometimes, we all go into slaughter mode. And if no one can stop you, why not?

We're not playing a kids game. What we do is for real: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2hTzFadZqE

So get to fighting or get away. Take your losses. And let's do it again, just better!
