Please don't assign that hook entirely to 869, especially if you consider it a failure.

Our last-minute attempt to give 5666, a team we knew well (from working under 1923's wings all build season), a way to contribute to the alliance and get a shot at MARCMP, was a result of both 1923 and 869 working together with 5666 to see if they could make something work.

Sorry that it wasn't perfect, but I don't think it's appropriate to call anyone, especially a rookie team, laughable. I think coming home with Rookie All-Star proved they're a pretty fantastic bunch of kids.

They learned a lot from the playoff experience, so I consider it a success.
