PS - I feel like you could get some fun data about who is following who, and which teams are most followed, and some such...
Thanks JVN! I plan on putting together a blog post with cool data like that once the season is over.

Correct. I was using Google Voice but I hit my API limit wayyyy too quickly. There's several texting services that will let you send texts for $0.01 a piece, but that adds up really quickly. So to keep it free I'm using email to send text messages.

Like I said, I should be able to set up email notifications for Week 2. But I'm volunteering this weekend at Kettering, so I couldn't possibly promise it'd get done before matches on Friday.
