Is it definitely Steen? The way Vespa came out of a cannon last week, I wondered if he'd get another chance

Not sure.  But apparently, Vespa was a big high school cradler.  Might be worth a go given that Steen is a very long shot to make NCAAs.

Just spotted Steens mandarin tattoos.  Looking like Marcus Camby out there

[D3UC157]

Should have brought the Vespa

[SocraTease]

Should have gone with Vespa.

The cat (RBY) played with the mouse (Mendez) and was close to the major

Another bow and arrow victim

Given that Steen is an auto 5 or 6 points every match why not try Vespa?

Jimmy remember when we predicted Mendez to win.  It's time we think of how to most thoughtfully apologize for our misbehavior.

Nice one from SVN

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

SVN needs a lot of work on bottom this off-season

[SocraTease]

Van Ness still looking for a signature win

[flyingcement]

What does Gallagher need in order to turn the corner 

[pawrestler]

Haines is awesome to watch

Kharchla vs Facundo could be fun

[SocraTease]

Haines is a beast!  He is getting better and better as a true freshman.   

Always looking for points.

I see him becoming a bonus point machine as he progresses.

[Gus]

Wow, Haines looks like DT 2.0

He used to drive to DT's M2 practice sessions from quite a distance, I think, while in high school.

Taylor has always been big on Haines
