We do think Columbia is a great location for an event--we're no more than about two and a half hours from anywhere in the state, making it an easy day trip for in-state teams (and still doable for teams coming from a little further away).

Pre-ship scrimmages are always a tough thing to pull off, and I applaud 281 for running theirs for as long as they have. (We actually intended to ask about their field before we found out this year's scrimmage wasn't happening.) I know 2815's a ways away from being able to do that, but maybe someday we'll pull that off.

Indeed it is--hopefully we'll avoid the confusion FIRST encounters with its name. (Besides, screw.org was taken. )
