I've also heard a lot of good things about 716, though I'll have to agree with our anonymous host. Since their stellar 2004 run (two regional titles back then was a LOT bigger deal than two regional titles now, plus Archimedes finalists once they ran into the eventual world champions), they've only hung one more banner (Connecticut 2008, as last pick of the draft after a 1-7, 60th-of-62 qualifying run).

Still, I for one am glad to see them back in form.
