Of course there's always room for a 1-3 year teem to cause an upset.

Should be an interesting regional.

[EDIT] I was wrong. I mistook match 71 for team 71. [/EDIT]
~~71 faces 217 early Saturday/late Friday IIRC. (They are also together in 71's second match)~~

Ah, my bad. 217 is just in Match 71, and at a glance I thought Match 71 = Team 71.

Re: 2009 Midwest Regional

Why was this schedule made available last night?

That's just how the cookie crumbles, I guess. I would read that rule more like "teams will get a match schedule BY friday morning". It's not like the MW teams have an advantage, they all got the schedule at the same time. They might be more prepared than KC teams, but since they don't compete against the KC teams this weekend, it doesn't matter.

Week 1 is always fun.

i guess i third it. it's about time he got that WFFA, congrats.

my prediction for tomorrow

71 chooses it's own destiny... 1114, 1625, and 111 are just sidekicks to the main event.

someone who is attending this regional once said something great
"never bet against the beast"
and that beast looks very hungry for #5...

71 was right after 1114 at the end of the day today... i saw both matches, i was impressed by the first match, but the second one... lets just say the beast is truly a beast this year
