I won't be able to make it out to Hub City but I expecting a very exciting finals. 3310 and 1296 have both been improving rapidly in Texas. Depending on how the alliances break down we should see at least a few very close matches. With so many young teams scouting for 2nd picks is going to be crucial.

Anyone know the last time a Texas regional was played without a Texas team being a strong favorite going in?
